I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Corbett. It is because if Dr. Corbett that I am a mom to a healthy happy daughter (now almost 8 years old). I am forever grateful to Dr. Corbett for this. She was so kind and had such a knack for putting her patients at RCC at ease. Rest in Peace.

This sad news has hit me very hard. I was a patient of Doctor Corbett´s at RCC. I first met her in 2015, and because of her expertise and her passion for her work, I am the mom of two very healthy boys. My husband and I owe her the world because she gave us the family we had always hoped and dreamed of.
Doctor Corbett became a doctor for the sole purpose of helping people. And you could tell she had true passion for her work. Both my pregnancies were high risk and she always checked in with me to make sure I was doing ok. She always took jabs at my husband when we had in person appointments and made us laugh until we cried. Her passion for her work and love of life was evident in everything she did and said.
I cannot get over this loss, because it is a loss for her family, friends, her patients, the staff at RCC and the entire medical community. Dr. Corbett gave herself to her family and friends and I am beyond devastated that this wonderful human being has left this world.
I never got the chance to tell her, in person, how thankful we are that she was part of our lives. I wanted to visit her over the summer at RCC and take her picture with my sons. I would have loved to pop by yearly, just to say hi. She has impacted our lives in a way no one has, and no one ever will.
To her wife and children, parents, family and friends, I direct this to you: I am so very sorry for your loss. As her former patient, this news has crushed me, so I can only imagine what it has done to you. Please know that Dr. Corbett will be remembered forever as a brilliant, funny, kind, and vivacious person. Her purpose in life was to help and heal and find ways for people to create their dream of having a family. There are not too many people in this world like Dr. Corbett, which is why this is so hard for those of us who knew her.
And to you, Dr. Corbett, I want to thank you...thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my dreams come true. You will always be a part of our family, and I´ll forever see a part of you in my sons. I will never forget you. Ever. May you rest in eternal peace.

Dr Corbett,
Thank you for making me a mother to a beautiful baby girl. It was you who gave me so much strength during the entire fertility journey. If it wasn´t for you staying by my side and giving me random calls on your personal phone number when I was ill, I don´t know how I would have made it out of the health predicament I was in. I shall forever see a part of you in my daughter. Thank you once again. You will be forever missed.

My last conversation with Shannon was at the ski club where we both were commiserating about when will our bodies heal. This news of her sudden passing has touched me with great sadness for losing a friend and a wonderful person. My condolences to Jenn and their children.

Dear Dr Corbett
You changed my entire life. It is because of your expertise that I have a family and the honour of being called a Mommy by two babies. Thank you from the bottom of heart. You were beyond brilliant and skilled but you were always so human with all of our interactions at RCC. Despite the difficult inferility journey, you always made me laugh and gave me hope. I owe so much to you and will always remember you when I think about the creation of my two miracles.
Rest in Peace and thank you again on behalf of all the Mothers you helped.

Dr Corbett - you will be deeply missed. You gave us our daughter and through that we will have a little part of you in our family forever. You were a physician like no other, helpful, kind, compassionate and cared about your patients beyond the appointments. You will truly be missed by many.
To your family - We cannot imagine how much your lives have been turned upside down, she truly was a special soul. We are sending lot of love and prayers your way.

I first became acquainted with Dr. Shannon Corbett at a continuing medical education event. She was one of those female physicians, "I wanted to be when I grew up". She exuded a level of passion and curiosity for her field of study that was inspirational. Since then I often recommended my patients struggling with infertility to her; she was who I would have wanted to take care of me. To her family - parents, wife, and children - a light has gone out in the medical community that cannot even be compared to the loss you have experienced. I am so sorry for your loss. I feel fortunate to have known Dr. Corbett.

My heart sank when I heard the news. Shannon was my favourite client. As her hairstylist, we spent countless hours laughing until we cried. I would love the days she would come, her sense of humour was unmatched. She had the best laugh, and the best stories. Every visit she showed me pictures of Liam and Kate, and talked about her wife, Jen. You could tell how much she loved them all. I will be thinking of you guys today and always. What an impact she has made on the world, she will never be forgotten. Xo

My heart sank when I heard the news. When I met Shannon and Jenn - it was an instant friendship...over a bathing suit :). It's true - Shannon had this beautiful light and spirit about her, and boy could she make you laugh! What an incredible and beautiful soul who will be forever and deeply missed by many.
Jenn, Liam and Kate - sending you so much love and strength. xoxoxo
Our heartfelt condolences, Cathy & Gavin Tse.

Corbett, Shannon, Dr. Corbett did for us what she did for the world - she guided us with her compellingly beautiful light.
She was a force we admired and loved dearly. Not only our Doctor but someone I could be myself around and open up to. Even with my rough edged humor - she laughed histarically.
Trust was built and maintained so fast with her. What she did for our family, we will forever be indebted forever.
We don't want to walk through the RCC doors and face this again but we know she would never want or even allow us to quit.
Corbett - I'll never be able to explain how this crazy life works but because of you I know how to get through it better.
Thank you will never be enough.
You are missed.
Much love to your beautiful family.

We did not know Shannon long, but for the short time that we had the pleasure of chatting and laughing with her at the ski club, it was clear that she was a bright light on this earth. We are deeply saddened for Jennifer, Liam, Kate and all those who loved her. Sounds like she will be far from forgotten.
With love and condolenses,

Oh my heart is so heavy seeing this today. Shannon was my fertility doctor 8yrs ago and is the reason I have my beautiful daughter. She became my doctor at a time when I had almost given up on fertility and was physically and mentally done. Her bright smile and sunny personality made me love her right away, and she quickly turned things around for me and gave me the greatest gift of my life, my baby girl. I have thought of and spoken fondly of her so many times over the years and will continue to do so for the rest of my days. So sorry for this tragic loss for her wife and children and the community/world as a whole. She made so much positive change in her short life and touched so many lives. Rest in peace dear Shannon and sending deepest condolences to Jennifer, Kate and Liam.

I only knew Shannon for a very short time at the Toronto Ski Club. But what I did know is that she always had a big smile for me when she came into the club. I loved watching her with Liam and Kate, speaking and caring for them with the upmost love. Jennifer, I hope you can feel the support from all of those around you. Thinking of you and kids daily since I heard the devastating news.

We cannot believe this has happened as Dr. Corbett was a wonderful person and definitely God sent for me and my husband..she was the best doctor ever...due to her expertise and compassion we conceived not just once but twice...I am expecting in May and when Dr. Corbett knew she showed genuine happiness and we couldn't wait for her to meet our little one in May...we only wish strength and our prayers to her family. Our sincere condolences...Nav and Pali Otal

Devastated to learn of the sudden passing of Dr. Corbett. She was such an unbelievably kind and caring physician. Our #1 cheerleader. She was comfort during difficult times. Knowledgable in everything. A source of laughter when we needed it the most.
She facilitated our 3rd embryo transfer that finally yielded our successful results. Before we began the procedure she made everyone in the operating room stop while she said a prayer for us. I´ll never forget that moment and how much of an impact it had on me. I wasn´t just another procedure on her to-do list. She genuinely cared, a lot. She wanted us to be pregnant just as much as we did. I can´t imagine doing our next round without you as our doctor.
Dr. Corbett, I hope you know although your time on the earth was short, your impact was huge. I´ll be hugging my little one tighter tonight and living my life a-lot more intentionally going forward.
You gave us the best gift we could ever ask for, our sweet girl and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Rest in peace.

Shannon was a beautiful, loving spirit. She excelled at all the things that matter most in this life: love, generosity, kindness, humour, candour.
Shannon was the best older cousin I could ever dream of for my girls. Her light will shine in our hearts forever.

It's unbelievable that Shannon is gone; such a vibrant and energetic soul! The force of her personality made one believe that she would always be there. Her humour and her devotion to her children were evident. She will be terribly missed. Our hearts go out to Jennifer, Liam and Katie.

Dear Jennifer, Liam and Kate,
I felt so sad for all three of you when I read the obituary in the Globe today.
I knew Shannon when she did a rotation at SickKids during her residency. It was a long time ago now (I think about 15 years ago) but I still remember her passion for her patients and her chosen field. As a lesbian parent myself, I was encouraged to see her as a great representative of the younger generation of doctors, and I knew she would do well.
Please know that there are many people you will never meet who have fond memories of her.
May your memories of her be a blessing.

We faced many obstacles and disappointments and yet she was always there to give us hope and a shoulder to cry on, and the will to persevere and fight on. From the bottom of our hearts we extend our sincerest condolences to her family.
