So sorry for your loss. To me she was Mrs. Patriquin. I boarded my horse at the Patriquin facility for a few fabulous years in the early 70's. Mrs. Patriquin always made us feel like part of the family. She was so beautiful, inside and out. Gwen, Mr. and Mrs. Patriquin were a big part of my teenage years. Thank you.

I met "Rene" just over a year ago when I was doing pastoral rounds at Extendicare. She had her back to the door of her room as I approached, and I stood for a few minutes, knocking and calling out "Alice" several times with increasing volume to get her attention (that was her first name on the residents' list I was using!). What a laugh we had when we finally realized why she wasn't answering! And what a lovely visit, full of small-world stories that included: the fact that she knew my mother Nora from the artists' community; that my mother had worked for her daughter Gwen years earlier; that I had crossed paths with her granddaughter Maria several times over our shared interest in environmental issues and more. I had a chance to admire Rene's art, and especially liked the one that I remember as Trees. She lived a full and rich life, and I hope those memories bring you continued joy and blessing as you travel this path of learning to live without her physical presence. My sympathies in your loss....

Our deepest sympathies to the entire Family. Mrs. Patriquin was such a sweet Lady who loved her family very much.

To the Millar and Patriquin families: Your mom was a treasure. I think I've known her my whole life and she always would remember me and the fact that I grew up in Cobalt. You have all been blessed to have had her in your lives for so many years. Treasure those memories as I'm sure you have many. Rest in peace Mrs. Patriquin.
