It is with a very heavy heart that I give condolences to Pat’s huge wonderful family.
Pat was not only my cousin but a close friend. She was always up and smiling and
Made you feel good all of the time. Life to her was her family, children, grand children
And great grand children. She loved to share her time with them and had super stories
That made you laugh, or smile.
Good memories are the greatest gift anyone can give in this life, to honour them.
When my parents passed away five weeks apart (Florence and Sam Jakul ), life left us in a very dark place.
The void was huge, and it was Pat and Jim that helped fill that void bringing us
Back to living life again. We spoke and had conversations several times a week,
Pat always brought a smile to my life. We shared many fantastic evenings together
Every four to six weeks together, at each others homes, eating delicious dinners, drinking fine wines, listening to music,
And of course playing Texas hold em. During our card games, Pat would make
Us laugh using Jim as the aim of the joke, and he loved it, we would laugh all
Night and at times the laughter was so great it would bring tears to our eyes. That
Was our Pat.
Before her health got bad, we spent the last ten New Years eve’s together. We would
Order Chinese food, wear our hats and use our blowers throughout the evening,
And of course play Texas Hold em.. trying to watch when the clock would strike
Twelve. The jokes and laughter was wonderful, and the memories will be there
Forever. Good times.
Pat we are going to miss you big time, but I know you are listening and you
Are here with us. We will be together again and Jim can bring the music and
Rolly will bring the cards.
Good Bye for now my friend.
Linda and Rolly LeBlanc
