M. Allison Reeves 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

Doug McCambridge 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.

Maureen DeKelver 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.

Maureen DeKelver 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.

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.

Twilla Chocholik 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.

Sharon Cunningham 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.

DonnaMae Turner (Halibert) 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.

Richard L Marceau 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!
Richard

Donald Wong 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

Dana Skukauskas 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.
Dana (Danute) Skukauskas

Hannah Pang 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

Ron Lehr 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.

Pat Belland 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.
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.
