Dear Hawkins Family, 
You have been on my mind quite a bit. Your family will continue to be in my prayers.  My husband worked with Patrick and, like everyone else in that unit, truly liked him! I know they are all hurting for having lost such a good guy/friend/soldier/leader.  And I imagine that he is also being missed as an awesome son/husband/family member. Be comforted in knowing that he is with God, he couldn't possibly be in any better of a place!  Until you see him again I pray for your peace and comfort and strength as I know he will be so missed. God bless you all

Dear Brittanie and Hawkins Family,

My husband had the privilege to work along side with Patrick and we also had the privilege to call him our friend. Patrick was a great man and no doubt he found a wife to match the kind of man he was. Brittanie, you will always be a part of the Ranger Family. Patrick will never be forgotten. RLTW.

WE WILL FOREVER REMEMBER - THE SOLDIER - THE HEREO - THE SON - THE RANGER 3/75TH.

To the Hawkins Family, Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your loved one and Hero Patrick, and my sincerest gratitude for his service for our country.
God Bless you Sgt. Patrick C. Hawkins...you will not be forgotten.

Hawkins Family,
My son is a 3rd Bat Ranger and friend of Patrick's.  I have cried for you and with you these past days and prayed the Lord give you strength and love in this most difficult time. Although I never met Patrick, I am as proud of him for his service to this country as I am of my own son. It's truly amazing our soldiers volunteer to serve knowing they may pay the ultimate sacrifice for their country.  Hugs and prayers from one Ranger family to another.

Roy and Sheila,
So sorry to hear of your loss, I wish there were words to lessen the pain. Thoughts and prayers are with you!
With deepest sympathy,

Roy, Sheila, Brittanie and family,
The loss of your son and your husband is a loss beyond words. Please find some comfort in knowing what a wonderful young man and true American Hero Pat was. I will always remember his positive outlook and infectious smile. When we lost Aaron, I found solace in the words of a kind friend: "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal."
May God bring you peace and keep your memories as vivid as life itself.

Wenn einer von uns müde wird,
der andere für ihn wacht.
Wenn einer von uns zweifeln will,
der andere gläubig lacht.
Wenn einer von uns fallen sollt',
der andere steht für zwei,
Denn jedem Kämpfer gibt ein Gott
den Kameraden bei. Herbert Menzel,1944 

Roy and Sheila,
Melanie and I are deeply saddened by your loss. Patrick and his fellow soldiers are in our thoughts and prayers.

To the family of Patrick.  There are no words that can express the grief we feel.  May God provide the comfort and heeling you need. Thank you Patrick for protecting this country and giving the greatest sacrifice.  May God Bless the Hawkins family.

To the family of Sgt Hawkins: My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Patrick will never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I'm home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I'm only a civilian
And I don't even know if it's allowed

But I salute you; allow me the honor 
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

For those missing in action;
for those who didn't make it home.
I know you're in God's presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.

I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say 
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.

I salute you .

I Salute You.
