Auntie Pat cared for everyone and loved deeply even if at times it may not have seemed that way. Whenever you had a chance to eat her cooking, it was always with great anticipation as she would impress even my Dad who was a pretty good cook himself. Auntie Pat always encouraged me in my faith through much of my life. I think she may have conspired with my grandmother (who first took my brother and me to church in Chinatown when little boys), to keep us going to church when we moved from Vancouver to Toronto. I remember in our early teens we did everything to avoid her invites to come to church with her. She was never pushy but gently encouraged us.
I can't imagine how difficult it was for her these last few years going through cancer treatment, but her strong faith in Jesus would have carried her through to her rest.
She raised 3 amazing girls and was an equally amazing wife to Uncle Ted all while touching lives around her (like me) through her love and friendship - a truly eternal legacy.
Our deepest condolences to the family.
My heartfelt sympathy to you and yours at this sad time.
