Patricia Forrest Jack

December 20, 1944 - November 23, 2019

It is with deep sorrow we wish to announce the passing of Tricia on Saturday, November 23, 2019, surrounded by family in the comfort of her home. At the age of 74, Tricia is survived by her devoted and loving husband, James, of 51 years. She also leaves behind daughters Ruth and Lisa, sons-in-law Demetrios and Jamie, and beloved granddaughters Alexandra, Zoie and Charlotte. Tricia’s “wee treasures”, which she affectionately called her grandchildren, will greatly miss their Granny. Tricia will be sadly missed by all her family here in Canada, Christine, Alan, Maureen, Bob, Betty, Bill, Thelma and Al, and her sisters in Scotland, Ruth and Anne, and by many nieces, nephews and close friends. In keeping with her wishes, private cremation has taken place and family will honour her life at a personal gathering. We wish to thank the many personal care workers and nursing staff that helped support Tricia and her family during this difficult time. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family. http://www.cancer.ca/en/?region=on You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left us. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
