Dear Sandy: Pat was a great teacher, mentor and friend. She was the absolute heart of CHC and I am a better person for having the privilege of knowing her. I will also dedicate a special part of my garden to her memory. I am very sorry for your and the world's loss. Most sincerely, Brad McRae

John and I were so very deeply saddened to hear about Pat's sudden death. From my first trip to Wellesley Street East aged 18, to my last one a few years ago to celebrate my 40th.. not to mention the times over here in the UK. Pat always went that extra mile; nothing was too much trouble. She would even send me my favourite suntan lotion to the UK. Pat will always have a very special place in my heart, I have always considered Toronto my home away from home and Pat (and Sandy) played a huge part in this. I have so many wonderful memories and these will last forever not to mention the pottery pots - I have quite a collection! Rest in Peace Pat and have a safe journey. Our deepest condolences to all the family. Our thoughts will be with you all, sorry we could not be there. Pippa and John x

Dear Sandy and every member of your and Pats family through out our frequent neighbourly meetings at the back of our properties. What a shock it was for me this morning when your son told me Pat had past away yesterday morning. I send my deepest and sincerest condolences to you all at this very sad moment for you in your lives. My memories of Pat are so special and wonderful, I want to tell you some of them. Our back door and garden our conversations started with the garden, hers, mine and the community garden she treasured and cared for in always an innovative way. I remember with joy her wonderful white clematis that draped itself around the greenery. Then there was the time when Pat gave me the seedlings from her Porcelain vine that now wants to take over both sides of my fence and at this moment has purple and blue beads that shine in sun and rain. Only two days ago I remembered Pats hand in these wonderful plants in my garden. Then there were the plants that were stolen out the back and we commiserated over such nasty and uncalled for behaviour by others. We both put signs up to try and stop the poachers. Of course, there was her exquisite pottery and the piece I bought a few years ago at the Gladstone Hotel. I treasure it, the colourful glazes are so wonderful. Often I would meet her on Parliament Street going shopping with her trundle buggy or eating a delicious cookie from our local bakery. She drove her car with eland taking and bringing her pottery from the studio where she worked. Then we talked about the garbage bin debacle and what to do. Two years ago she bought a few baskets from Papua New Guinea from me and commented on the extraordinary quality, although out of context these baskets remind of African work, that are not nearly the same quality. She knew want she was talking about. And then there were the moments you and I shoveled the ice and snow out the back and you and Pat decided to park on the street. Earlier this year you decided to do away with the old Buick and do car-sharing. I also remember the parties she organized at her house and those where we met in neighbour's houses. I regret not being able to visit her in this latest ordeal at the hospital. I want to once again send you and yours my sincerest condolences and good wishes for what ever has to happen next. Please tell me if I can help with anything or do something. My best to you all at this moment of deep sadness. Bea, the neighbour out the back.

We were so sorry hear of Pat's passing. As a young girl growing up with Alison I spent many weekends at the MacPherson's. There home was always so warm and welcoming, I always felt part of their extended family. The wonderful marinated flank steaks still linger on my tastebuds! Pat and Sandy included me on several memorable outings and always helped Alison and I stay connected when they relocated to Quebec. I will remember Pat with warmth in my heart and know that she made a positive impact on me about being a family

Dear Sandy and family: what a huge and sudden loss. I remember Pat as such an enthusiastic, warm woman, up for adventure and new experiences, and always full of compassion for the underdog. Knowing her was a privilege and I am so sorry I can't be at the memorial, to hear all the wonderful stories. Amazingly, I had sent you a letter a couple of days ago--prescience? Deepest sympathy, Anne Moon
