Memories of Patrick / Cathy P. (childhood schoolmate )Read >>
Memories of Patrick / Cathy P. (childhood schoolmate )
Dear Nadia,
Nadia -- I was a school friend of Patrick's from 2nd grade until graduation from Homestead High School in 1989. I wanted to take this opportunity on Memorial Day to offer a few of my many memories of Patrick. I think about him often.
My first memory is on the playground, where he gave me two very nice pieces of silver jewelry (did he raid your jewelry box??) and expressed his heartfelt devotion. I came to know him as someone who felt things deeply and had a tender spirit. I have many vivid, albeit random, memories of our time together in school, like how we always wanted him on our kickball team; how he'd get so nervous during the timed math tests that he'd always break his pencil; that he was the Green Grocer during the 6th grade news show project and told us that Store A was better than Store B because their artichokes were bigger. In 4th grade, Patrick wanted to share a really hilarious poem he found about a girl named Cathy who runs people over in her shiny red car. I tried to wrestle his raised arm down, and got detention. Patrick took me to my first-ever dance in 8th grade. He brought roses.
I remember how he got so thin in 7th/8th grade and how we were so worried about him. I remember how he got beefed up in high school and joined the football team, and I was glad that he was healthy again.
I was so saddened to hear about his death. I pray for him, and you and his wife often. I hope these memories help you through your grief. Please know that he was loved very much and made an impact on those who knew him, even in grade school!
I pray often that you will know the love and comfort of Jesus, and the hope of his resurrection. I pray this for Patrick every chance I get. He was very special. Blessings to you and all the McCaffrey family.
FRANCE M6 TV / Valerie G. (none)

Nadia, Tonight, I was watching the M6 TV show Enquete Exclusive, I was crying regarding the war in Iraq and your interview about your son. I just want to say that this war, for me, a French girl (I am 32 years old) makes me very sad when I see the results and all the Heroes who have died there. I am thinking of you, I encourage you for everything, and I am so sorry for Patrick. I just want to say that it is not normal that in France we don't have a lot of TV Shows regarding the soldiers who are still over there, and who are back in America with medical problems. This war is crazy I hope soon American soldiers will be back, and end this war, this war is a big lie for Americans, and I'm so sorry for your nation, I'm so sorry that Bush is acting like that just for oil, because I'm sure that it is the only reason of this war.

I am so sorry... / Dory Miller (High School )
I went to High school with him I am so sorry. I just found out about this with some friends that I was talking with from Homestead High school. The last time I saw Patrick was when he was having problem with his knee and he wanted to get released to join the Guards. I had a great conversation with him and loved catching up with old times. He was a wonderful person. Very caring and loved life. I couldn't believe it until I actually saw his picture. Once again I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you Dory Close

At Ease Soldier McCaffrey / Terri Jones (Military Mom )
May you rest now Sgt McCaffrey. Watch over your loved ones and guide them on their journey.
I am so sorry for your loss. I too know the pain of losing a child. My heart goes out to you and your family. My son also served in Iraq for a year and was suffering from severe PTSD once returning home and took his life 4 months later. Thank you so much for reaching out to returning vets. I live in Iowa and we do not have many services for our veterans which is becoming common across the country, so what you are doing is so greatly needed. I wish I would of been able to help my son with a special place to go, because the military refused to acknowledge the problem we had no idea what to do or where to go for help. God Bless you!

May God Bless Patrick and his entire family. We are sorry for your loss, but want you to know that you will be in our prayers. Close
