Patrick Swayze

Had depth of emotion

'Casablanca' and 'Ghost' happen to be two of the most universally beloved movies of all time. Unexpected blockbusters, they captured our imaginations. Patrick Swayze who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer yesterday was one of the protagonists in 'Ghost'. In that movie, he created some of the most tender heart rending scenes with just a penny to prove love for his wife while avenging his own death. Swayze had depth of emotion and abounding spiritual truth in all his portrayals. The camera captured it and was enamoured. It was impossible not to be moved by his work. This work proved quality and not quantity. Patrick as an accomplished dancer was thus a true athlete of God. This day he goes to meet that Maker. While on terra firma we remember that his life with those unforgettable moments he gave us on the screen and of himself are comparable to a life that is as remarkable as an entrechat six. We rhapsodize at your humanity and bravery Patrick. We are encomiast that we shared this world with you. You are a Lovemark that will not be forgotten.
