Patrick's last moments

I received this email from Diane Fisher, a Registered Nurse, who was supporting Patrick seconds after the accident.

To the Friends & Family of Patrick Kenney

I was at the intersection of Crescent Heights & Sunset Blvd when the
accident which took Patrick’s life occurred.  I, like many others responded
to see if I could provide any aid.

I crawled under the vehicle which struck Patrick, & remained with him until
the paramedics arrived and relieved me.

I thought you would like to know that from the time I arrived (between 30-60
seconds after impact) Patrick was unconscious. He did NOT cry out or in
anyway indicate he was in pain.  I am a Registered Nurse and my education /
experience has taught me that in some cases people who are unconscious are
able to hear what is going on around them. With that in mind, I continuously
spoke to Patrick, held his hand and was cradling his face in my hand as he
passed.

It is my hope that the knowledge that Patrick was not alone will bring you
some measure of comfort.

It was my privilege to be with him.

Diane

Thank you to Diane, for sharing this important message.
