"Caregiving often
calls us to lean into love we didn't know
possible."
Entered into eternal rest at Dr. Walter Templeman Health Care
Centre, Bell Island, Patrick Barry, age 80, originally from
Curling.
Predeceased by his parents, and his brother James (January 8,
2018).
Left to mourn are his brother Bernard, and John and Theresa
Power, his alternate family, and his home care workers of St.
Bride's.
Patrick, as you enter your heavenly home, and brighten the
days with your special smile, there will be lots of cheesies and candy
waiting for you. You came into our lives in April
2000. With adjusting to a new home your smile said it all,
it brightened our days. You were a brother, a protector and
a friend to all.
Anyone who helped out felt the love from you, especially the
home care workers who cared and loved you during the many years that
they cared for you.
A very special thanks to all the staff at the Dr.
Walter Templeman Health Care Centre,
from the cleaners, to the doctors, social worker, management and
hands-on staff, for the excellent care shown to Patrick.
They went above and beyond their duties to be with Patrick, especially
since July, when his needs and care became more profound.
How many would sit and play music and give that extra special care,
not leaving your shift until you waved good-bye, and giving him a hug
to make him feel safe and loved. Not many would do that, but
you sure did. Words cannot express our thanks to all, but
our hearts feel it.
