Mike, Tamara and family,
At this time, so many thoughts and emotions fill all of us who were acquainted with Patrick. Please know that, with you, we are celebrating all of the good things we came to know and love about Patrick. It was a joy to know him, to watch him grow and to have the pleasure of being his neighbor.
Our family is praying that God will grant each of you peace, grace and strength in the coming days and weeks.

Sadness and loss will be pushed aside by appreciation and thanks over time. Appreciation for a poised young man and thanks for the accomplishments of his life. But sadness and loss will be constant companions for family and friends,
We met Patrick when he was a youngster playing Saints Baseball. In meeting Patrick, we met the whole Karamitros clan. What a pleasure for us and our hope is those memories provide smiles and comfort to that clan.
As years passed we ran into Patrick at various outings. It was easy to see Patrick growing into a young man that was determined to help others, even to the point of saving lives. Kind, considerate and humble were attributes that described Patrick as a boy and as a young man.
May God Bless him and Keep him and Hold him in love. And may the family be touched by God's Blessings through the kindnesses of others, kindnesses that so reflect the very nature of Patrick.
Peace be upon you.

To the Karamitros family:
I never had the privilege of meeting Patrick but I feel I know Patrick because he is apart of the swimming community.
"Those we hold most dear, never truly leave us, they live on in the smiles they shared, the comfort they showed, and the love they brought into our lives".
Please accept my condolences on your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I hope that comfort and peace come to you.

Patrick was a wonderful young man and that's a testimony to the way he was brought up and the work of Christ in his heart. Sherrie and I mourn with you as you mourn but we are reminded of the following verse: Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. INSERT INTO guestbook VALUES (Ps 30:5) We pray that you will know the peace of Christ in the midst of your grieving and that you will remember that the joy of the Lord is your strength.

I cannot fathom the loss you must feel. Patrick was such a fine young man. The wonderful memories of his 16+ years must help sustain you. I count it as a special privilege to have been his golf coach. May God bless all of you.

I want the Karamitros family to know that I am very, very sorry for your loss. As a parent who continues to live with the loss of a child INSERT INTO guestbook VALUES (Nov.,2008) I am testimony to the reality that the spirit is eternal. Our lives may never be quite the same, but we will continue to remain the great people we are. This is because we were able to produce and experience great sons, who were selected to be with the Lord.
My heart goes out to the Karamitros family.

I still find this hard to believe. The news of Patrick's passing brought automatic tears to my eyes. Though I only knew him for a few months, I could tell he was a very nice & bright young man. He sat behind me in math class & I remember always being able to turn around & get help on homework from him. R.I.P Patrick, you're missed dearly.

They say "The Good Die Young".
I first met Patrick freshmen yr. during 2nd hr Spanish 1. We used to always laugh at how the words were pronounced, and of course he was always there to help me out when I needed it.
Sophomore yr, I would always hang on to every words he said when he gave his speech. He was always ready to go, and had something attention grabbing to talk about. For the whole trimester that we sat next to eachother, we joked and laughed.
Its sad to know that his gone so soon, and he truly will be missed by many. All my heart goes out to the family. His peacefully in heaven now.

Tammy and family,
My sister Jill and I attended St. Basil's school with you and Tara. I was so sad when I saw Patrick's obituary in the Herald Palladium. I have also lost a child, so I can truly understand some of the heartbreak you are feeling. Please know that others are holding you up in prayer so that someday soon you will be able to experience comfort and peace. I know you will cherish the memories of your son - it sounds like he was a wonderful young man.
