What has Patrick Clancy said about the tragic case? according to PeoplePatrick is expected to testify for the defense. A GoFundMe page Raised over $1 million to help Patrick. On that page he issued a heartbreaking statement. It asked people to forgive Lindsay.
Here’s what he wrote in 2023:
“Thank you all for your love and support. The warmth I have received from the community is palpable and your generosity gives me hope that I can focus on some kind of healing. I have seen all of your messages and contributions, including some people I have not seen in over a decade and many I have never met. I see and appreciate you all.
Many people have said they can’t imagine and they are right, there is nothing that can prepare you. The shock and pain are unbearable and relentless. I miss him constantly and what little sleep I get, I dream about him again and again. As any parent knows, it’s impossible to understand how much you’ll love your children until you have them. The same applies to understanding the horror of losing them. Cora, Dawson, and Callen were the essence of my life and I am completely lost without them.
My family was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was so proud to be a husband to Lindsey and father to Cora, Dawson and Callen. I always reminded myself that every day with them was a new gift. Callen was usually the first to wake up and lay his head on my shoulder for a few minutes as he adjusted to the morning. Before we would go to pick him up, Dawson would usually sing out loud or speak his thoughts for a while. Cora was a big girl and would just go downstairs. I can still clearly see him coming into the living room every morning with tousled hair and a smile on his face. We always started our day together, reading books, sitting on the sofa and playing with magnet tiles. I loved taking them places with me, whether it was scootering at Chandler Elementary, vacations, skiing, going out on the boat, or Duxbury Beach, which is one of our favorite places on Earth. They gave me purpose and I never took it for granted. Where that purpose once was, there is now a huge void.
Cora’s laugh was infectious and she was stunningly beautiful. She was cautious, but really it was because she was very caring. She said she wanted to be a doctor and a mother when she grew up and that she would practice by giving Callen check-ups. If she were leaving home to go somewhere, she would choose someone to take care of her baby dolls Caroline and Charlotte. She had all the doll’s accessories available, so her caretakers were well equipped. Before she was 2 years old, she was already swaddling them right. We’ll tell her what a “good little mom” she is. She loved all children, both real and pretend. She loved sloths, unicorns, tea parties, going to lunch with Nana and Grandpa, and giving people gifts. She knew everything about princesses, her favorite was Sofia the First. She truly loved her brothers and us and often said this in her sweet voice. We did a lot of father-daughter activities together, like skiing and visiting San Francisco or just talking. I loved her, my first child, very much.
Dawson had beautiful, bold, brown eyes that radiated friendship. He was naturally humorous and generous beyond the norms of a normal child, always willing to share his toys with others. Whatever love he received, he always gave more in return. His best quality was his pure kindness. He loved trucks, tractors, dinosaurs, Paw Patrol, “Working People”, and being outdoors. He was adventurous and mischievous and enjoyed causing trouble, which he generally found hilarious. He was also remarkably clever. We always said that if we didn’t save enough for retirement, no problem – we’d just live in Dawson’s guest house. He hugged me more tightly than most adults and every night at bedtime he would constantly whisper the words to me, “Good night Grandpa, I love you.” We had a special bond from day one. He was my friend, my first boy and truly a gift.
Callen was our easy child. I always said it was because he was the third child – he had to adapt and he did so easily. He was born without any fuss and was our best sleeper ever. He was an incredibly happy and lively child, who was constantly smiling. Our nickname for him was “Happy Callan”. He was sitting alone and you could tell he was enjoying his growing independence as he grabbed anything that came within his reach. Sometimes he would join my Microsoft calls in the background while playing in his jumpbox. I’ll keep my camera on, I’d be too proud to turn it off. Whenever I walked into the room he would start calling me “Dada”. The last moment we spent together was our daily routine. I would come from my office at the end of the day and cradle him between my legs while he laughed and smiled. If I ever had a bad day, Callen always knew how to fix me. Maybe that’s why he stayed for a while – to save me as much pain as possible. As painful as it was, I was fortunate and grateful to feel his warmth until his last moments. Faith is my only hope for him to believe he is mine.
Callan died with great courage despite being so young. Maybe this was his way of demonstrating what I needed to do to move forward. I will always try to take inspiration from him. He will always be my little hero.
I want to share some thoughts about Lindsay. She has recently been largely demonized by people who have never met her and never knew who the real Lindsay was. Our marriage was wonderful and as her condition rapidly deteriorated, she grew stronger. I was as proud to be her husband as I was a father and felt constantly lucky to have her in my life. I still remember the moment I laid eyes on her for the first time and I remember how overwhelmed I was with that love at first sight that you only see in movies. It really didn’t take long before I was convinced that I wanted to marry him. We told each other ‘I love you’ several times a day, as if it were a reaction. We habitually began each morning with a passionate embrace, breathing a sigh of relief as if each of us had found the perfect medicine. If too much time went by without a hug, she would look at me and ask, ‘Did you forget?’ We mutually understood the reality that people can have bad days, but we stuck to the rule that when one of us got lost, the other was always there to bring him or her home. She loved being a nurse, but nothing could compare to her intense love for our children and her dedication to being a mother. It was all she ever wanted. His passion taught me how to be a better father.
I want to ask all of you to look deep within yourself to forgive Lindsey, as I have. The real Lindsay was generously loving and caring toward everyone – me, our children, family, friends, and her patients. The fibers of his soul are loving. Now all I wish for him is that he finds some kind of peace.
I promise that I will put all my energy into healing and finding my purpose again. I’m grateful to all of you for this, Duxbury Fire and Police, our compassionate health workers, our local faith leaders, the Microsoft community, and especially Cora, Dawson, and Callen. I don’t know how or when I will be able to do this, but your love and generosity will help me get started. I know love always wins.
Cora, Dawson, and Callen, you gave me so much in your short time here. I don’t know if the pain will ever go away, but I will do my best to move forward in your honor. Grandpa loves you very much and will always remember you.
With love and eternal gratitude“
