Patricia was predeceased by her parents, David and Muriel Kennedy, brother Patrick Kennedy, and beautiful granddaughter Taylaina. Patricia will be forever loved and always missed by her only daughter Jessica Anne-Marie Naayen (Corey) , her 3 beautiful grandchildren, James David, Adrianna, and coming in March 2017 Hunter; also her brothers Philip Kennedy (Lenore), Peter Kennedy (Claudette). Patricia was loved by all her nieces and nephews, Paul, Pam, Karla, Damon, Michelle, Danielle, and Patrick Liam. Patricia was a beautiful, innocent soul, who loved many and touched all of our lives. Patricia's most precious days were spent growing up on the farm in Clandeboye, MB, where she treasured her horses, and spent many a summer playing and spending time with her nieces and nephews. She was always up for adventure and had a laugh that would make everyone else want to be a part of what she was enjoying. Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, which is why it is called the present. - A.A.

Footprints in the Sand One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord. After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints. This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. “Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me.” He whispered, “My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
