Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Patricia Ann Filso Rimmington 2021..
Death notice for the town of: Collingwood, Province: Ontario
Dearest Mom,
I will miss you always. When I think of you, I will always remember the very kind, sensitive and loving mother and human being that you were. Your enormous capacity to love was your gift that you have passed down to your children and that your children have passed down to their children, and so on.
Even through the difficult times in your life, you remained strong in who you were at your core and you continued to be the special soul that you always were.
I will always remember many beautiful things about you. Mom. I will remember the pride you took in always looking your best and how you always carried yourself with such class and dignity. I always thought you were such a beautiful mom with such a beautiful smile. Your genuine warmth, kindness and love always radiated from inside of you to the outside which made you even more beautiful.
I will always remember how hard you worked to care for all five of your children as you were raising us quite a bit on your own. You never complained though, and you often told us that those were the happiest times of your life; that your children were everything to you…as you were to us Mom.
I will also remember your love of music and how much I loved to hear you sing in the house when I was a little girl. I always think of you when I hear the music you liked to listen to or see the movies you liked to watch while I was growing up. I will always remember the last time I saw you in the hospital and even though you were not doing well, you began to sing along as we played some of the songs that you loved.
I will always remember how hard you worked to make sure that we always had three healthy meals a day as well as healthy snacks, and how you also worked hard to dress us well on a limited budget, even going without yourself at times in order to make sure we had what we needed.
There is so many more beautiful things I remember about you Mom, but this is what I have in me to write for now. You just passed two days ago and it is still not quite real to me yet.
Even though my heart is very sad right now, I feel better knowing that you are free of the pain and sickness you were experiencing before you left us. I feel better knowing that you have the peace and comfort you really needed…but we will truly miss everything about you, always and forever.
Love from your daughter, Mona Lisa xoxoxo
