Hi, my name is jean quill cook. Patrica was my aunt Dot Hogan’s niece and God daughter. For many years I wrote to Patrica when I was younger, I always enjoyed our letters.
I am so sorry for your loss. Please except my condolences from the entire Quill Family.
We were neighbours and her son Daryl was often in our home. Your mom was a lady and very nice to us.
We are privileged to have known her.
Trevor and Sherry
Pat was our next door neighbour and the very first person to welcome us when we moved in. We enjoyed many great times together whether it was coffee/tea with the Hollyberry moms, celebrating children’s birthdays and holidays or monthly card games.
Pat’s nursing career was her passion but being a mother to Christine and Darryl was her ultimate joy and fulfillment.
Sending our heartfelt sympathy to Christine, Darryl and families.
Kevin, Joanne, Jordan and Ashley
Pat was a classmate of mine at the University of Toronto School of Nursing. I am saddened to learn of her death. She was a dear friend, always ready for a good story, and she had a wonderful infectious laugh. She was a dedicated nurse and set a fine example for all of us
Pat was a well loved neighbour of ours on Hollyberry Trail. Many fun times at our monthly rotating card games. Darryl was friends with our son Kevin.
Condolences to Darryl, Christine and families
Debbie, Dave, Kevin and Ashley
Pat and I were friends and co-workers at the Catholic Information Center in the late fifties and early sixties. She was a bridesmaid at my wedding in 1966. She was always funny, sympathetic, smart and well liked by everyone. We lost touch after I moved out of town in the late sixties but reconnected for lunch about 10 years ago and easily picked up where we left off. We talked about her nursing career and her amazing kids and old friends and where they were now and laughed and laughed. She was a good person and a good friend and I regret not seeing her more through the years. I will miss her and remember her in my prayers.
My heartfelt sympathy to the family for her loss.
We’re very sorry to read of Pat’s passing. Carolyn and I send our deepest regrets and condolences to Pat’s family and friends. (Hollyberry neighbours)
Pat and I lived in the same apartment building on Tichester. Pat was a faithful member of the church and gained strength from the daily t.v.
mass. For me she exemplified the spirit of the gospel through her service to others as nurse and resident.
May she rest in peace.
