Patty,

I miss your bright smile, and your enthusiasm for life. I am lucky to have been able to spend so much time with you and will always treasure the memories of camping, limo rides, card games, and snake bites among other things. I swear one day we will grow up and have clean houses.
You have an amazing family who are all very supportive of each other. It's been tough, but Dan, Jess and Warren are always there for each other. You have raised an incredible family. Abby is doing a good job of comforting everyone too.
You are always in my heart. I miss you.

Love,

Brittney Barrie

We have known Patty since the early 1980's when she was first dating Warren. Patty quickly became a welcomed member to our family. We always enjoyed her company and the many times we spent together. The greatest treasure I have of Patty is the love she shared with Warren and then Daniel and Jessica. The loss they must now face is unimaginable to me. Going forward we share in the loss and with the comfort of your family hopefully we can help in the difficult days and months ahead.

Dear Warren Dan and Jess

Niti and I wish to send our sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this time. We are all better people for having met and enjoyed time with Patty and your family and she will be incredibly missed by many. She had an incredible ability to light up any room she entered and I will always remember her as seeming to always having a smile on her face and as one of the most loving mother, wife, and friend I have ever met. Christmas eve's and camping trips I will cherish forever.

All of our love

Sincerely,

Chris (chip) & Niti Nielsen

We met her, at a baseball game
She came, to cheer on Dan
She, and her husband Warren
Two parents, with a plan
She came to every single game
Which said a lot, to me
While most parents,simply stayed at home
We would always see, Patty
That told a story in itself
To both my wife, and I
It showed, what mattered in her life
And what, she valued, most high
As time, came to pass, we had the honor
To call the Taylors, "Friends"
To have shared their fun & laughter
That will last us, til' the end
Truth be told, our hearts are heavy
For a friend, who had to depart
"God bless You" Patty Taylor
Forever, in our hearts

Warren, Dan and Jessica,
So sorry we couldn't be there with you this weekend. Thought of you so much and am so sad for your loss. But I'm so thankful for all that Patty has done for our family over the years and providing such good friends for my children. I can't think of Patty with out thinking of our dear puppies that were born with the help of her loving hands. Lucy and Linus always loved the Taylors - and Lucy had her special way of "showering" that love!
Wishing you comfort and peace,
Colleen

Warren, Dan and Jess,
Patty was such an amazing person, and always made me feel so welcome in your home. I remember Jess and I just hanging out with her, chatting and laughing at the silly little things. She was always so much fun to be around, and her positive outlook on life and sense of humor has made an impact on my life. It won't be the same coming to the house without seeing her bubbly face, but I know she will live on in all of our hearts!
I'm sorry I wasn't able to be at the funeral today, but thought of you all throughout the day.
You have such an amazing family, and I know she would be so proud of you all.
Love to you all,
Sharde

Dear Warren, Dan, and Jess,

I am so lucky to have had an aunt as loving, witty, welcoming, and fun as Patty. I'm sad that baby Alison didn't get to meet her, but she will know her through the memories and stories that I pass on to her. My heart aches for you guys. We will always miss Pat.

Lots of love,
Andrea

Patty,
When we lose one of us, it diminishes us all. I am so sad that you are not here on Earth with us anymore. Your legacy is that you were always cheerful and unplifting. You did a stellar job of living this life. You are my hero. I miss you terribly.
Much love from your sister, Nancy

We found out yesterday about Patty and needless to say, we were very shocked and saddened. I can remember her here at the Labatt party a few years ago, full of life and wearing her perpetual happy smile. You and your kids are in our thoughts and prayers at this terrible time. We are so sorry.
Love Ken and Sheila Pomeroy

Patty, you put up with me practically living at your house on weekends, welcomed me in when i was stranded in town, and kept me company in the mornings after a sleepover when your daughter would sleep the day away. Corrected my terrible gramar (lol i swear its pronounced melk) and made jess and i the AWESOMEST King Tut cake in grade seven. You were an amazing woman and you raised two fantastic kids. I feel blessed having had you in my life, you were taken far to early... I'll always love you, Bek, Gill and I will take care of jess :) Rest peacefully. xox

There is a special sisterhood that lies within mothers who have children who are best friends. Patty was like a second mother to Bekki, when Bekki and Jessica were together ~ and when Bekki was at the Taylor house, I never worried.

A few days ago we decorated our Christmas Tree, and there I found a special ornament that Patty had given to me...a little snowman wearing a cowboy hat. She said she thought of me when she saw it! I swear I could almost feel her in the room.

We don't know all the mysteries of life, but I do know that Patty, Warren, Daniel and Jessica...you're all hero's to my family and I. We love you and are thinking of you.

I'm so glad I got over to see you all last Friday, but so very sorry we didn't get to know Patti as well as the rest of the world. The short time we did spend together, I enjoyed her sense of humour and love for life. She is a beautiful person, inside and out. She is another Angel that heaven is so lucky to have, for I know it will be a brighter place with her there.

Patti is a bright star shining in the sky,
an Angel in your heart,
with thoughts like these you know...
she lives forever in your hearts.
all my love, Sandy

Patty, I basically lived at your house throughout high school and I still haven't accepted the fact that you won't be around to greet us walking through the door or to watch Friends with Jessica and myself. We had many good times Camping, hanging around the house and going on road trips. You even took me to get my first tattoo. I regret not sending you your get well package sooner and I wish I would have been able to come and visit your family more after moving away. If it wasn't for you and Warren, Jessica wouldn't have been able to be a part of my wedding and I cannot thank you enough for making it possible for her to be by my side. I feel like this is my chance to say goodbye to you, since I can't make it to the funeral. So, Goodbye Patty. I know your up there watching all of us now and you'll be with us forever. I'll take good care of Jessica for you...I know she's already made you so proud and will continue to do so. I love you so much.

p.s. Our next fat movie will be dedicated to you...you lucky lady!

We have been blessed by our many Christmases and camping trips together. It could not be possible to have laughed any harder.
We are richer today for having had Patty in our lives and will miss and love her forever.
The overwhelming sadness we share today will ease into many happy memories.

I only met Patty on one occasion when we played golf down in Palm Springs. I remember Warren and his Brother, Don and I played together and the girls played behind us and all we could hear was them having way too much fun!

Warren, our thoughts are with you and your Family and hope that we will be able to enjoy one and others company on the links again one day soon.
