How can we help Grace, Aidan and Ryan

As part of the vast crew that Pat built with his unyielding concern for people of all walks of life, we are reaching out to support the Scott family.

With the unwavering support of Beth, Grace, Aidan and Ryan Pat's spirit helped us grow closer as a community. Now we have an opportunity to strengthen the bonds that Pat tirelessly enabled.

Those bonds of friendship - new ones and old ones - forged by Pat's unrelenting effort we all feel has made our lives better through giving us all a sense of more connectiveness, and hopefully inspiration to work a little harder like Pat did to be more inclusive.

He was one of a kind but perhaps we can continue his legacy.

As Ryan, Aidan and Grace approach higher education, and Beth the challenges on maintaining the house, tuitions and all the costs we all know so well, we have the opportunity as a community to help lessen the burden that Beth will bear.

The Gonzaga class of 1987 has closed the gap for Ryan and Aidan's remaining tuition at Gonzaga to help Beth, but we hope with everyone's help to include Grace's high school tuition needs and all three for higher education.

Ryan posted this on Instagram so we want to share in case you have not had the opportunity to see and feel his incredible words and love.

"Dad, you're the man who shaped me into who I am today. To the world, you may have been one person, but to me, you were my whole world. Your wings were ready to fly, but my heart will never be ready to live without you, I'm gonna use everything you taught me and make you so proud. In the quiet moments, I feel your spirit beside me. Save a place in heaven for me, Aidan, Grace and mom. The world is dimmer without your light, but your love shines on in my heart. I love you and miss you so much Dad. #cancersucks"
