The tribute was beautiful it brought tears to my ees.  I fell in love with Patrick when Dirty Danicing came out.  I had the chicken pox and I was like 9 or 10.  I am now 32.  And I can remember watching it over and over again on VHS.  Can you imagine the late fees on that 1.  Well after that Christmas came and I got the movie.  I got my daughter into watching Dirty Dancing.  Patrick will be missed by many.  And especially by me.  He seemed like a great man.  And to love Lisa the way he did for all those years is remarkable.  My prayers go out to Lise and the Swayze family.  Love you Patrick. Rest in Peace..
