I was so very sorry to hear about Patti's illness and passing. I so enjoyed spending time with Patti at Waterfit class at the Rec centre. Patti was so strikingly warm and kind; she reached out in such a generous and friendly way. I so enjoyed our conversations and just being in her presence. I would like to convey my sincere condolences to Patti's loved ones and wish you comfort and peace during this time.

I lost a piece of myself, and a big part of my heart My Mom My best friend, my confident, the one who knows me better than I know myself She carried the weight of the world on her shoulders, fought battles she never let us see and swallowed her own pain so we could have peace. And despite everything life has thrown at her, she still showed up for us every single time Everyday I walk this earth, I am proof that she was here That her love will never end And even though she is gone, I will never forget all the ways she loved me, all the lessons she taught me because all of those things that made me who I am today This is the hardest goodbye, but I know that your love will always bring me comfort, your strength will guide me and your heart will always be my safe place Heaven gained the most beautiful soul Mom, may you be with your sweet boy that you’ve waited so long to hold, Grandma and Grandpa are waiting to Welcome you

Very sad to hear of Patti’s passing. Patti and I were friends as teenagers, sharing fun times and many a laugh together! Patti went on to work in the bookstore at The University of Waterloo where my mother Vera Snyder also worked. We stayed loosely connected through letters over the years, sharing news of the birth of our children and other celebrations. I especially recall Patti’s beautiful handwriting. Patti was very happy with the life she was building together with Bill and proud of her little ones. Our sincere condolences to Bill and family in the loss of their loved one. May wonderful memories help you through this difficult time. Elizabeth & Tim West, Parry Sound

Dear Bill,Emilie,Matt, Peter,Jamie,Cameron and Kaylee: I first met Patti when she enrolled Emilie and Peter at Sir Edgar Bauer Catholic School in Waterloo, where I was one of the Administrative Assistants there, and over the years, our friendship continued to grow. One of my fondest memories of Patti, is that every year on the last day of school in June, Patti would bring in two beautiful corsages for myself and the other Administrative Assistant to thank us for all our hard work during the year. It was such a thoughtful and kind gesture and a wonderful gift that I will never forget. Even though Patti and I didn’t see each other too often, whenever we would meet it was always with a warm hug and her beautiful smile. Her friendship to me was something that I will always treasure and be thankful for. I always say if we can leave this world, knowing that we are loved and that we have made a difference, then we have accomplished everything. Patti was indeed loved and made a difference to all of us, who were so blessed to have her in our lives. I am keeping you all very close to my heart with thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Patti will always hold a very special place in my heart. May Patti be gently welcomed into the light of God’s face and rest in eternal peace. With love to your family, Gai Brown Waterloo

I grew up on the same street as the Brath family and always remember Patti’s smile, whether it was when welcomed into her home, crossing the street under her guard, or waving to her driving past on her way home. My sincere condolences to Emilie and Peter; I know first hand that nothing prepares you for losing your mother. And to Bill who I always saw by Patti’s side, I am so sorry and wish you strength. Sending love to the family. - Canmanie
