Patrick is my stepson, and brother to Billy, and to my children Jennifer and Sean. As he nears the end of his battle with cancer and other health issues, we are making plans to honor his final wishes for cremation. Patrick has no life insurance and, therefore, we are setting up this fund in hopes that those of you that know and love Patrick as we do may assist with a small donation.

The family plans to work with the Cremation Society of Virginia who will treat Patrick with dignity and respect, and we estimate their services and any incidentals to be around $3,000. Patrick is currently in the loving care of Hospice of the Piedmont, and they will pay a portion of that total. Any funds leftover will be donated to them (Hospice) in Patrick’s memory.

The Robbins’ family and I thank you for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. A service to honor Patrick’s life will be planned for a future date.
