RYAN, Patrick Gerard
January 23, 1962 January
21-2006
Suddenly, on January 21, 2006, our beloved
Newfie was taken from us. He will be deeply missed by his loving
wife, Lisa, and devoted dog, Sam. Pat will be lovingly remembered
by his parents-in-law Roger and Joan; sister-in-law Jan, brother-in-law
Mike and nieces Allison and Lauren, who adored their Uncle Pat;
his best friend, Terry (Barb); his daughters Candice and Donna
in Edmonton; and many other family and friends. To know Pat was
to love him. He was kind, loving, gentle, hardworking and a friend
to all who were lucky enough to know him. Pat was a proud
Newfie with a true Newfie sense of humour. Pat brought
so very much to his family in Victoria. Through him we all learned
how to express our love and feelings more openly and readily.
His greatest joys in life were his family and friends, his dog,
and watching his Leafs play hockey. Pat was always the first
one to offer help when needed his time was your time. Pat will
be sadly missed by all. A memorial service will be held at First
Memorial on Thursday, January 26, 2006 10 AM at 4725 Falaise
Dr. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Pat's memory
to the charity of one's choice.
"We loves ya, b'y."

CLARKE, Kathleen Joan Kay was born in 1938 in Twillingate,
Nfld. She was a proud member of the Labrador Metis Nation.
Kay lived an adventurous life in Bermuda, New England and Canada.
She hiked in the Swiss Alps, mastered cross country skiing in
the White Mountains and camped in BC. She read voraciously, enjoyed
daily cross word puzzles, scrabble and discussing world events.
She was a humble philosopher and an occasional poet. Kay shared
45 years of marriage with her soulmate Howard. She was adored
and respected by her family and friends, too numerous to name.
Mom left us with much imparted wisdom, heirloom quilts, hand-sewn
dolls and infinite Love. We are immensely proud of her. Special
thanks to good friends who surrounded us with Love in our time
of sorrow. We will celebrate Kay's life July 1-3 in Qualicum
