I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends of PO2 Brian M. Patton. May the Lord comfort you in the difficult days ahead.
Godspeed Brian.....Godspeed.....
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on….
Cherished memories never fade
Because one loved is gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart….
For as long as there is memory,
They live on in our hearts.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
