Tom, Sean, Maureen, Paul and Patrick, I am so very sorry for your loss. I have many great memories of Pat. She always seemed so calm and positive. I remember one day when Patrick was first born the badminton team came over to help with the chores. Pat must have been exhausted after hosting the crew that helped with the garden and dog run all day. I think we might of even helped out while having fun. I appreciate everything Pat did to support Tom’s coaching and will always think of her as a great mother. Condolences from all the Beach family. Cindy, Cheryl, Derrick and Lillias Beach

Tom, Sean, Maureen, Paul and Patrick and you families. The shock is still very much with us all. We are all thinking about the years our families spent together, tripping, camping, fishing, hunting and picking blueberries, swimming, having tea at the screen house and having saunas. Sharing Christmas and the Polar Bear dip at the first of the each year. I can't believe that when I was texting with Pat a few days ago I forgot we were doing and ran out to my garden. She got a big laugh at that.

We will miss her very much and I just can't believe I won't be talking to her again. We shared so many years with you all and it was very tough to move away from the Tri-towns and leave you guys behind. Please know we will always remember Pat and that we love and miss you all.

My sincere condolences to the Buck family. Pat was a wonderful person, kind and generous with her time and a wonderful mentor. We shared the love of Tai Chi, I will miss her.

I met Pat about 9 years ago when she became a student of Pilates Reformer at Balanced Motion Pilates and Yoga. I worked with Pat for a couple of years and was always impressed by her dedication to her passions, her sense of humour, intelligence and grace. She spoke of her family often. I’m deeply saddened by the loss of Pat to this world. My deepest condolences.

Tom and Family...I am indeed so sad to learn of Pat's passing. I had the pleasure of teaching with Pat at both Haileybury and New Liskeard. We had lovely conversations during those years and many laughs, also. You will all miss her so very much - as will her friends. Take care. Be strong. May your lovely memories of Pat help you through these difficult days. Sincerely, Elaine Carlyle

Dear Tom and family, nothing prepared me for this sudden and sad news. My heart breaks for all of you and Pat's life cut short. Time and distance have separated us over the years but our family times shared as our children were born and raised together, remain A crucial time in our early family years. I am flooded with memories of prenatal classes, teaching together, spelling each other off baby sitting so as moms we could have time out. Pat was one of the calmest and most understanding women I have ever known. We enjoyed many similar activities in the seventies and eighties while raising young families. From other messages posted here, it sounds like Pat retained those interests and quiet calm her entire life. May the life you all shared provide some peace and blessings on this journey of loss and healing. Sue Hoffman, Jennifer and Stephen

Rory & I are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our dear friend, Pat. I have such wonderful memories of Pat - having our first baby together; teaching together at Haileybury Public, cross country skiing, just meeting on the street, and talking about our kids,wherever they were in Canada. She was such a joy, always positive about life, nothing seemed to phase her or change her rhythm of life. She was gift to so many and I am so honoured to have known Pat. Rest in peace dear friend. God bless each of you.

Tom and family,

We are so very sorry to hear that Pat has passed away. We have many memories of Pat checking up on all at many badminton tournaments first with little ones in tow and then as they played badminton being there giving moral support.

Our sincere condolences to all,
