Dear Auntie Pat
Graceful, strong, caring, generous, loving, stoic, considerate, selfless, thoughtful, charming, marvelous and patient are words that spring to mind when we think of you. It was such a joyous and uplifting experience to be in your company and in your conversation. Your easy going nature was infectious - always caring about others and their lives while living your own.
You endured so such with dignity and grace. You will always be loved, and you will always be remembered.
We will remember your life - not your passing - and we choose to smile.
What a aunt ..... you were just brilliant.
Love
Andrew, Sue, Jared, Tiff, Alex, Mitchell and Sophie Cairns

Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"
But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink
Oh, I'm in pieces, it's tearin' me up, but I know
a heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
When I fell down you'd be there holdin' me up
Spread your wings as you go
and I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I know
A life with love is a life that's been lived
When I fell down you'd be there holdin' me up
Spread your wings as you go
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person I have become
Spread your wings and I know
That when God took you back
He said, "Hallelujah, you're home"

Even though it is many years since I was your doctor, a tear has been shed reading of your passing. You were the true definition of a legend and such an honour to have known you Pat. Many many patients walk into a doctors consulting room throughout their practicing life. You have not, and will not be forgotten. With love to all the family, my thoughts are with you, Naomi
