My mom was truly my best friend. We got into arguments but at the end of the day before I went to bed I always got that kiss and hug and even when I wasn’t at home anymore it was that I love you my girl message right before I was asleep. My mom was such a wonderful person to say the least. She went out of her way to make anyone’s day! The favourite memorie I have is the day I brang my little one into this world❤️ She was there through messages and FaceTime and it felt like she held my hand the entire time. The smile and tears that came down her face when I brang her granddaughter home made me feel like nothing else I’ve ever experienced. Then my mom took my by the hand, as I leaned in and she smiled through the tears saying “This is your little miracle and I know your gonna be the best mom to her” To this day I will forever be great full for my moms guidance and teaching me how to be the mom I am today and continue to be. I only hope one day I can be just like her❤️ I hope your resting up there momma, You deserve it!

My momma has and always will be the strongest and most loving person in my life. I  will forever be grateful to have a momma like her. She will be deeply missed by us all.  Love your Sky Light❤️


I Never Saw Your Wings
By an Unknown Author


How is it that I never saw your wings
when you were here with me?
When you closed your eyes and soared
to the Heavens I could hear the
faint flutter of you wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side
your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine.
I close my eyes and see the multi-colored wings
surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times.
Mother my angel God has given you your assignment
always my mother forever my angel.
You fly into my dreams and when I am asleep
I feel your wings brush against my face wiping away
the tears I shed since I can no longer hold
you in my arms but in my heart.
You earned those wings dear mother
and you will always be me angel eternal.


Pat was an amazing woman and accepted me from day one. I used to date one of her sons and after we split up she always said “just cause you broke up doesn’t mean we did” she was always there for me and my children and gave me the support I needed when I didn’t even know I needed it. She was an amazing woman who attributed to my success as an adult from the faith she had in me. One memory that stands out more than most is when I was in labor with my daughter, she was not allowed in the room because of the nurses so she stood outside that hospital door patiently for over 2 hours till my little girl arrived. When she came in to meet her she told me how proud she was and how no matter what she will always be a grandmother to my children. Her and Clayton always welcomed us with open arms wether it be a hello on Facebook or an invite for one of claytons famous roast dinners they were always there! Thank you Pat for everything you had done for me and more! You will be forever missed and your advice given to me will be passed on to mine as you were truly an inspiration as a mother! Much love to the Miller family at this time! 💕

Pat was an amazing, strong, compassionate woman. She was an amazing grandmother to Theo and Dawson, even though we lived across the country.  She always stayed in our lives and stayed in touch in whatever way she could. I'm so grateful for the time we got to spend together with the kids about 5 year's ago in Nova Scotia. She made it possible for the kids to meet their beautiful little sisters and a chance to reconnect. l miss the long chats we'd have catching up, she always had great advice and was always so supportive. I can't imagine the loss that her family is experiencing,  but I hope you find comfort in knowing how many lives she's touched and how loved she is by so many. She will be greatly missed. Hugs

Best of the Best friend ever.
Pat, Lila, and I all met in 1983 and have been a pack since then. Pat found me when I was broken and hurt and help to put me back together. She saw things In me that I never did. She would give me advice about some of the choices I made but always believed in me. There is no one, or never will be, anyone in the future who could replace this friendship. She made sense of it all for me. I know I will extremely miss this rare friendship. Even through her illness, she said, "Elizabeth, don't look at me any differently, keep doing as you always did. I am the same person with just a different look". So I continued to call her with issues and for words of confidence; though she laid bed-stricken, she still comforted me through the thoughts of losing her and her death.  This was Pat " selfless."

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of a wonderful lady.  Our family mourns with yours and we hope you take peace knowing she is resting in the arms of Jesus.  

My dearest friend Pat
You are such an amazing person you were always doing things for other people. You were always willing to listen and give your opinion but it always came from your heart. You were very strong but also very understanding. I was so blessed to have you as a friend for so many years no matter where you moved we always stayed in contact . Through good time and bad time we were always there for each other. I will miss you so much and till we meet again Soul sisters forever Love Lila

Aunt Pat was a wonderful woman, steadfast in her beliefs and feisty in life. So many of my childhood memories lay with things we did with her family. So many memories painted across my childhood. She was a beautiful and kind woman, albeit stubborn. But stubbornness runs in our family. In my teenage years we butted heads alot, because I am similar to her in many ways. But as an adult and especially in the last few months we've created another bond. She knew my fiance was gone and I was always so busy with life and my daughter, so she'd just let me talk her ear off. And whenever I said I'm sorry for talking so much, she'd tell me it was no problem, she liked to listen. So I'd visit her a few times a week and we'd just visit, and I appreciated those visits so much. Despite her pain, she would smile, listen and offer input. Outside of my many childhood memories, these were my favorite, because we were just two adults, two equals, talking about life. 

Pat was a true friend to me and an inspirational mom and advocate for broken children and youth. Despite all the great challenges of her life, she was always very sure of the love and goodness of Jesus.

Thinking about Pat and all of the memories we created together. So many beautiful memories that it is impossible to encapsulate them all here. Children, children events, children growing are predominant in every memory, every picture. They were Pat's life, her legacy.  Someone once asked her, how can you divide your love with all of those children? Simple she said. Love is never divided, only multiplied. And as usual, she was correct. Love is the tie that binds us all together and despite each and every one of our differences, Love prevailed always. God's gifts to mankind are many but the greatest gift is Love. And honey, I know you are reading this, you exuded Love. Thank you for sharing your most beautiful gift with all of us.

We sure will miss you Pat.  In this life you overcame many obstacles. We are so sorry to lose you but God has new plans for you.  You  faught the good fight as you always have.  Condolences to Clayton and your children. Our hearts go out to the rest of your family as well.

Love always
Aunties Vi and Maggie.

Hello sweet Mom, I hope you are no longer in pain and it's as beautiful as you imagined. "It's Amazing, it's so perfect you said in your last few words. I love you and miss you so much. To just hear your laugh again, rest easy Mom you are truly missed! 

Love David

My sister Pat was a loving woman who had a heart of gold, yeah she could be a bit of a pain in the butt sometimes. But she was always my big sister. my life will be forever changed not having my big sister there. Her loss was devastating to this family but the memories we share  of the love and the laughter and the joy that you brought us will never be forgotten. We know that she stormed the Gates of Heaven on July 3rd at 6 a.m. and she will be having a tea party up there with my sister Kathy, my nephew Tim, my dad, and my grandmother. We love you Pat and you will never be forgotten.

I have a lot of memories made with Pat. She married my brother Clayton almost 39 years ago and became my sister. We shared the love of both having 6 boys. I stopped at 6, but Pat and Clayton first welcomed 3 more children into their life and then 2 more. The love Pat had for these 11 children was unconditional. Then next thing you know we were grandmother's and that's a whole new thing. 
Pat and I both loved music and loved to sing. We did karaoke a few times. Pat loved to sing Anne Murray's "Could I Have This Dance". She told me it reminded her of Clayton's and her marriage. If you have a chance give the song a listen too. 
I'm so glad you had that dance Pat. I hope you are singing, dancing, laughing, and all good things. I know you will be looking down on all those you loved. Fly high my girl. Love you. 

Clayton, I wish I could express the sorrow I feel just knowing you are bearing a loss so profound. May it comfort you to know that others care.
