Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home

Susanne, words can't convey the feelings, as I'm still in shock and denial, I cannot imagine how this circumstance is for you? I am thinking about you alot. I want to do SOMETHING. Please let me know, even if it's sitting and listening as you talk about your Beloved, Patrick, I will be an attentive listener. When my Mom passed away, that's all I wanted-was to talk about her and have someone who cared really listen to me. I will do that if you like. Patrick was so helpful to me when Tim Horton's was about to move in behind my home. He helped me learn the zoning laws and what I could do to live with Tim Horton's- for instance requesting that they plant trees, being there when they were cutting trees and clearing land so I could make sure they were doing what they agreed too, etc. I respected Patrick and his dedication to your business and making the coffee the best it could be. I remember seeing his art at Harbor Square Gallery and how exciting it was to know the artist, in him, which surely he is, and always will be, the artist! So many thoughts and feelings here. Mostly appreciating the goodness in Patrick and seeing that as an inspiration, and wanting so much for all people to aspire to be the best they can be- as Patrick lived that. I know from Rudolf Steiner teachings that the more we think of our loved ones who have passed over before us, the better it is for them. I believe that. This is a good opportunity to share our heartfelt feelings with you, Susanne, and each other, as we are all feeling so much right now. Love,Ananur
