Adored Aunt to many nieces and nephews, who she never failed to entertain. Patti will always be remembered, admired and cherished for her consistently positive attitude, infectious sense of humour and strength.

In particular, we want to thank Dr. Karl O'Sullivan (Oakville) and Dr. Sheldon Fine (Credit Valley Hospital), who both supported Patti and our family with care and compassion at every turn. These two gentlemen epitomize all of the positive values we hope a doctor will possess.
