Wow, 57 huh? So sad to hear about cancer battles, especially when I thought he had been doing better. RIP

I love Patrick and was hoping for a miracle for him. My Dad had pancreatic cancer, so I know how dreadful this cancer can be.
Thoughts and prayers for his family.

Off Topic: Tonight is finale night!! Who do you think will win the BB award?? yes--I have been watching. ;) and I vote Kevin.
When I saw Dirty Dancing, I thought he was the most beautiful man in the world. I will pray for his family at this time of great loss.
I heard this on the news this morning. I was shocked. How sad and what a loss.

My husband lives and dies by the movie, "Point Break". It is so strange to think that someone as strong and athletic as he was was brought so low in under two years. He really did battle as hard as he could with it, too.
He seemed to not only be a terrific dancer, but a loving, faithful husband. Yes, RIP Patrick.
