Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Thomas "Rickey" Patterson, Navy, Veteran. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is
one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Thomas.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Thomas "Rickey" Patterson,Thanks for being one of our greatest heroes. God Bless. And God Bless, The fellow soldiers that stands for us everyday.Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to defend this great nation of ours.
We salute you , My Friend
Final Inspection
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now,soldier.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime.
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord.
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now,soldier
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets;
you’ve done your time in Hell."

I was sent this in an email by Thomas Rickey Patterson's wife, Velma, and asked to post it on her behalf to the site for all members to also see......

********************************************************************************************
Rickey would have been honored and humbled by the outpouring of love and support, and for the Patriot Guard’s involvement this week. When the Guard asked if they could stand for him, it was a great honor. I was very moved when we pulled into the funeral home yesterday and saw all those flags flying. As some of you may know, Rickey was very proud of our country’s flag, his helmet had eagles soaring and his jacket had a large eagle with flags. Seeing the condolences posted on the Guard’s website is truly touching as is the tribute to Rickey that Ron posted on his blog.
The bikes in the procession would have pleased him very much, as he always wanted a good turnout for any ride we had, and once again he was able to ride sweep.
Rickey will be missed by many, and the loss of him will take a long time to heal, but with everyone supporting one another, we will come through this.

Velma,
I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you, but you were among friends, and I was a stranger. It was a great honor to serve a smalll capacity the last couple of days. As well as get to meet many of your friends. You are blessed to have a large circle of friends. Lean on them during this time. They want you to do so.
My prayers are for God to comfort you. |
