My condolences to you and family, Aunt Patricia was always helpful, inclusive, and giving to my branch of the family; the times most remembered being her billeting of Shannon, she having then moved to Vancouver (curca 1984) and the stays with aunt P, my mother and me had at her apt. in Burnaby.
We, commonly driving from Salmon Arm in mom’s unreliable VW in the mid-eighties to visit were always greatful of her open door and natural hospitality toward us …. I fondly remember times spent there such as Expo’86, Visits with uncle Pat, uncle Bill, and outings to the ”Dragon Inn” and the dinner gatherings hosted by her, yourself and Mike and Orvis for the seasonal holidays.
As well I recall the receiving of my very first guitar (an electric with amp.) at her place during the spring of ’85!
She was always supportive of me and encouraging of my Music and I remain forever grateful for this.
I am sorry I did not have the chance to meet her one last time to thank and recognize her for her inclusion and kindnesses, and as well regret she did not meet my wife J’aime whom has given me such love, rebirth, success and happiness! -I would have been very happy to have had them meet. God bless you Aunt Patricia, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate what you have done for me and my family.
