One of the fond memories I will cherish is that of watching her dance. That girl could MOVE! I loved seeing the love of life in her eyes while she was in her own world dancing.
Passionate (Pasha) and I learned much about life together. She gave me the gift of thought and laughter through all that life tossed at us sometimes to learn.
I give my most sincere wish of strength and God’s love to all. I will think of her often.

Cher Régine, Marie-France,
Je suis de tout coeur avec vous dans ces jours difficiles.
Heureusement, nous avons foi en Jésus et sa promesse d’une seconde vie en esprit dans le Royaume des cieux. Réjouissons-nous, car elle avait cette foi! Nous la retrouverons un jour et d’ici ce jour béni, après une période plus ou moins longue, elle priera pour nous qui sommes encore dans un monde matériel.
Je vous aime!

Je veut par la presente vous offrir mes voeux de sympathie en se jour de deuil.Bon courage
Patricia, you will always be “Patti” to me.
I will always remember our time together playing softball, camping, skiing, going out for dinners, driving to Disneyland and watching you sew up an outfit to wear in a weekend. You were always upbeat and cheerful even on your bad days when you were not feeling well.
Regine and Marie-France,
The world is a smaller place without Patti in it. I will miss her.
With love,
Don
To the family, relatives and friends of Patricia Berube,
Although I have never met Patricia in person but have spoken to her by phone, I know that her mother Regine, sent a lot of love, joy and positive energy to the world. As a result, the apple does not fall from from the original beautiful tree, so I have no doubt that Patricia was as optimistic and wonderful as her mom, Regine.
Regine, my deepest condolensces to you and Marie France. As you know I could have never met both your daughter due to my own serious workplace injuries and resultant challenges of Environmental Illness. I do not doubt for a moment that Jesus had a set plan for Patricia as she graced the earth for the same number of years as I am (47). I always wonder why some people are sent to heaven before others. Certainly, I should have gone some time ago but am still here. Yet, your lovely daughter was taken to heaven before Easter weekend. I can’t believe she is gone.
How precious is each moment that we are on earth. Let us celebrate Patricia’s life by living our own lives to the fullest.
With the warmest regards to Regine, may your daughter Patricia rest in peace.

Regine, Marie-France and Martin:
Your beautiful daughter and sister has left a void in your lives, and in the hearts of those who knew her. You gave her strength and courage to accept her final journey. May your memories of her help you heal. My prayers are with you, Sincerely, Gail Topping.
Pasha,
I”ll miss you and wish I had more time to get to know you. I could see that we would have had many laughs over reality tv shows and do it yourself programs.
What a wonderful sense of humor Pasha has! Even in her struggle with cancer she so kindly offered to help drive me to and fro from the ferry to my own doctors appointments.
My prayers and condolences to Marie-France, Regine and Martin.
With love,
Hannah
I know Pasha from Prince George. We had many long conversations together. Pasha kept in touch with me after she moved to Calgary and to Victoria. She stayed with my partner and me when she visited Nova Scotia in early 2000 and again on her trip to Iceland. We had many laughs together. Pasha remains with me and will always remain an important person in my life. My condolences go out to Pasha’s family and friends. All our lives were enriched by the beautiful person she was.
Pasha and I were friends for about 10 years. We took a wonderful trip together to Iceland almost two years ago. I am deeply saddened by her death and wish to offer my most profound condolences to her family.
Pasha was a joy to be around. Her sense of humour, honesty, optimism, sense of decency and her love of life were infectious.
The world is a smaller place with the loss of such a beautiful soul. I will deeply miss her.
