Ode to Pat
Pat fills my pills
She never falters or spills
Competent and careful every day
And not a hair that is grey
Cheerful and always kind
She never seems to mind
To run or go the extra mile
Pat is a nurse with style.

Special thanks to Shelley Stacey, Dr. Warren Ke and his nurse Marg, Dr. Amurawaiye’s nurse Jean, and Ben Gugala and the Palliative Care Team. You all went that extra mile on Mom’s behalf. After spending her whole life taking care of everybody, it was difficult for her to let others take care of her, but the nursing staff at Lakeridge Health Port Perry and especially at Lakeridge Health Oshawa 6F did a wonderful job and treated her with the respect and dignity that she always treated her residents with.
