  • Patsy, I used to go over to your house and you would practice the piano and we would play. Your parents were always very nice to me. I often wondered where you moved to. My condolences to you and your family. Ila LePage Schlegel - Posted by: Ila LePage Schlegel (Elementary school friend of Patsy’s) on: Feb 21, 2019

  • My mother was the kindest, most loving person I have ever known. She was always there to listen to us and our problems. She was a proud Canadian. She loved her family and all her nieces and nephews. She loved her parents and thought of them daily. She was always their with a joke and loved to act silly. She will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Patricia Baker (Daughter) on: Feb 21, 2019
