In Loving Memory Of

PATRICK DOSTALER




This site, my life, and my direction in Ministry are dedicated to the memory
of the boy I brought up as my own.

Pat and his sister Caroline came into my life in the mid 80's
when Pat was just nine years of age.

Over the 14 years I was privileged to be with them, God worked through these children
to show me what love, sacrifice, compassion, happiness and humility is all about.

In His Path, Pat and Caro showed me a new depth to the meaning of the word "family."

Tragically, on June 25, 2000, at the age of 24, Pat died.

Paddling a canoe alone on a small lake at a family gathering, he suffered a seizure,
fell from the boat in four feet of water and was unable to help himself.

Rather than becoming angered at God, I came to realize that it was a
blessing that someone so young could give me so much
... even unto death ...

Je t'aime toujours, Pat.

A prochaine.
