So sorry to hear of Pat’s illness and passing Bruno. Pat’s library was always a welcoming place to go to whenever I was subbing in the school. Her innovative art installations, fishpond, and book displays drew the children in to her hub in the centre of the school. Pat always greeted me with a big smile and we had many great conversations and common philosophies about life, society, education, and the children in our care. She will be greatly missed, and I send you my love and hugs. Hope you keep up with making music, as it is a wonderful healer in times of grief. I know that Pat, with her down to earth nature, would want you to carry on for your family and grandkids. Love, Lynn McLean.

I only worked with Pat for one year at Constable Edward Finney school, but I will always remember her for being such a wonderful storyteller and so good to her students. She was warm, funny, and her joy spread to everyone she met. My condolences to her family.

My heart aches for all of Pat’s family. She was one of a kind. Her generosity and compassion to and for others was genuine and authentic. Her sense of humour was amazing and her ability to find humour in difficult situations was such a beautiful asset. I remember her fondly and deeply appreciate the times I got to spend my working days with her. She was such a lovely addition to our staffs. I wish her family whatever it is they need to bring them peace. Janet Nein

My deepest sympathy to Bruno and his family. I would like to say what a wonderful friend Pat has been to many people. Pat and I reflected in many emails in the past 20 years about poetry and life. Our book club will never be the same without her passionate views on life. I still remember passing the library in our school and hearing the excitement and laughter of the kids she was reading to. She enthralled them. Pat really made a difference in many peoples' lives by caring and bringing joy. I'm thinking of a line from Mary Oliver's poem," When it's over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement." Pat did this. She was always looking for the excitement and joy in everyday life and caring for others. We will really miss you Pat!

I should like to send my deepest sympathy to Bruno and his family at the passing of his beloved wife and their mother, Pat. I was shocked to see that she had been ill and had passed away. I knew Pat and Bruno through our work with the Seven Oaks School Division. Each of them contributed significantly to the staff with which they worked. Though, I never worked with Pat I knew of her championing of many social causes and admired her. In the last few years, I would see comments Pat would make on the Editorial page of the Free Press. I know that Pat has influenced the lives of her loved ones and that they will carry with them her values and many loving memories throughout their lives. The world was a much better place with Pat in it and she will be greatly missed. With Deepest Sympathy, Terry Hay

Pat was a delightful, happy, positive person who was often the key contact point for family members. Many years ago, she wrote a biography of our grandmother Eve Still that we all still use as family history. Pat spent hours interviewing Gramma, and wrote it up in a voice that perfectly echoed her own. My condolences to Bruno and family, who have lost a kind and courageous person who will long be remembered. Paul LeBel (cousin, son of Maureen (Still) Lebel)
