Pat died to all that was less than her. As she wrote herself, her body was no longer her. She accepted she was dying and placed herself in God’s Love, the deathless love of God. Pat and I are still connected in that love and in our love of each other .
In her words:
“You love me royally , as I love you,
seated together in our garden Kingdom,
keeping up our silent conversation,
clothed in robes of every hue.”
She shares in Christ’s victory over death. Love is stronger than Death. Patricia and I are still one. God made us One forever!
In her words:
“And this long miracle is to discover
the inmost me and you,
to nurse no longing for another,
to forge the soul and its desire together
gently, openly and forever.”

Hi, I am Eric, a retired librarian. I was born in St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto and raised in the downtown area north of the Art Gallery, south of the University of Toronto. I went to Orde Street Public School, Harbord C.I., University College at the UofT and the UofT's Faculty of Library and Information Science. I meet my wife Patricia at FLIS; our first date was on November 15, 1968. We were engaged February 14, 1969 and married on June 21, 1969. Our family includes son, James; daughter-in-law, Erin; (both writers), grand-daughters, Vivian and Eleanor; and Sonic, a very friendly ginger tabby. My beloved wife died January 7, 2017 and our 19 year old cat Pooka died January 8, 2017.
I would like to hear from any other class of '63 alumni of Harbord C.I. and class of '67 alumni of UofT's University College.
