Hi Regine,
I don’t know if you remember me but I was one of your UVic student boarders in 1981-’82 and I will always remember Patti as a vivacious and free spirited young woman, I especially remember a time when we went to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show film and she had never seen it but was curious what it was. Boy did she have a great time with all the antics that the movie audience was into!
My condolences to you and Marie-France.

Regine, you just came to mind! As such, I put your name into. Google search and I learned of your daughter’s death. Oh my goodness. My condolences however it might appear totally odd given the time that has elapsed.
I believe that you would remember me as well as my former husband Richard. Both of us FLDP students…
If you receive this, I invite you to connect.
Most kind regards,
Allison
Mrs. Berube and Marie-France, it is with sincere sadness that I hear of Patti’s passing.
Though we had gone our separate ways many years ago and lost touch with each other, I can still recall her beautiful smile and here loving spirit. It is with great fondness that I remember the time I spent with Patti, her sense of mischief and free spirit on the dance floor as well as many late night talks. She will be sorely missed by all who new her.
Our most sincere condolences on your loss of a beautiful and loving daughter and sister, the McCambridge family.
To Marie-France, Regine and family:
Pasha and I met about 6-7 years ago at the Running Room when we both joined their first ‘Walking Club’. Even after the courses were over, we still met every 4-6 weeks to go for a walk down at Glenmore Reservoir. I think of Pasha whenever I drive down 14th Street and go past Glenmore Landing.
Marie-France: do you remember going to the Calgary airport about 4-5 years ago after Pasha had her neck operation? Well I was the driver for you, Pasha and your mother. Remember the terrible snow storm that we drove in?
My sincerest condolences to you and your family members. I find it had to believe that Pasha is gone and I can’t imagine what all of you must be feeling. Take care and God Bless.
To Marie-France, Regine and your family:
Pasha and I met about 6-7 years ago at the Running Room when we both joined their first ‘Walking Club’ here in Calgary. We remained walking mates for years after and would meet every 4-6 weeks and go for a walk around Glenmore Reservoir. I think of her every time I drive down 14th St as I am driving past Glenmore Landing.
Marie-France: do you remember going to the airport about 5 years ago after Pasha had her neck operation? Well, I was the driver for you, Pasha and your mom. What a terrible snow storm that was.
My sincere condolences to everyone in Pasha’s family. I find her passing hard to believe but can’t imagine how big a loss her passing is to you & your family. Take care & God Bless.
Régine:
Quelle fâcheuse surprise de lire dans le quotidien régional la nouvelle du décès de ta fille Patricia. Il n’est pas juste ni naturel qu’une mère doive vivre une telle situation.
Pam et moi sommes de tout coeur avec toi et ta famille.

Patricia,
Je t’ai connue l’année dernière et tout de suite, ton sourire m’a conquise. Je suis très heureuse d’avoir pu te rencontrer, d’avoir découvert ton élégance naturelle et d’avoir eu l’occasion d’admirer ton goût infaillible de décoratrice.
Régine, Marie-France, Martin, mes pensées et mon coeur sont près de vous.
Je vous embrasse.

I had the pleasure of doing Pasha`s hair for about 10 years in Calgary. I always enjoyed our time together visiting and catching up. She was always so positive even with everything she was going through at the time. I will miss her deeply and think of her often. She was always so strong and could always laugh.
I am so very sorry for your loss, and the world`s loss of such a wonderful person. I want to offer my deepest condolences to her family.
All of our lives were enriched just by knowing Pasha.
I met Pasha shortly after she moved to Edmonton many years ago. We developed a longlasting friendship and when Pasha moved to Prince George, Calgary and then back home to Victoria, we never lost touch. We shared many laughs and a few tears and I will treasure the times we spent together and the many long conversations we shared. When I think of Pasha, I will always smile because she was an extraordinary woman. Despite the challenges Pasha faced in her short life, she never lost her sense of humor, her ability to laugh, or her passion for life. I will miss her dearly.
Regine & Marie-Francis, you have lost a daughter and a sister and I have lost a good friend. I want you to know that Pasha made a difference in the lives of other people with her sense of humor, her passion for life, her concern for other people, but mostly for the genuine kindness she extended to everyone around her. Pasha was loved and she will be remembered.
