KENZIE ELIZABETH PATERSON Kenzie Elizabeth Paterson passed peacefully on July 24, 2015, with her family by her side. Kenzie was born October 31, 2008. Our Halloween baby. She is survived by her parents Paula and Jason and brother Patrick, grandparents Russell Paterson and Paul and Jean Krepps, Uncle Ron and Auntie Julie (Bryce, Kai) and Uncle Ian and Auntie Dianne (Julie, Chelsea, Eric) and her beloved cat Harry. Her Grandma Sharron Paterson preceded her in death. Kenzie was quiet, kind and thoughtful but very strong and courageous. She was easy to love and was loved by many. Kenzie loved to bake and do crafts. She loved the colour purple, Peppa Pig and anything Hello Kitty. Kenzie made many wonderful memories at the family cottage at Falcon Lake, trips to Hawaii, Phoenix and Florida and loved visiting her grandparents and uncle and auntie in Ontario. Kenzie led us to believe that each day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories. Special thanks to the nurses at Children's Hospital and CancerCare, and to Dr. Vanan. A celebration of life will take place on Friday, July 31 at the Victoria Inn, 1808 Wellington Ave. at 2:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Dream Factory: www.thedreamfactory.ca Chapel Lawn www.chapellawn.ca 204-885-9715

  • Paula, Jason and Patrick - I am a friend of Keri Doucette's. I've been following Kenzie's story since she got diagnosed, and have kept you in my prayers. I, too, lost a child to cancer. My son, Aidan, passed away at 5 1/2 years old on July 17, 2009, from H1N1, only 26 days into his treatment and while in remission. My heart aches for you. All I can say is to keep an open mind and be aware of your surroundings, because Kenzie will make herself known to you. She's still with you, just not in the way you would like. I can also tell you that, eventually, you will experience joy, again. That bowling ball on your chest will one day feel like a baseball. In the meantime, hold onto each other, respect each other and allow one another to grieve in your own way. Lean on your family, friends and community. You will continue to be in my prayers. Love, Josh and Regina (Regi) Garvey - Posted by: Joshua and Regina Garvey (friend of Keri Doucette) on: Jul 29, 2015
