Patricia Robertson died of leukemia Tuesday morning at the Queensway Carleton Hospital in Ottawa, where Garry Robertson was in the emergency room suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bowel cancer. They did a journey together and they’re still on that journey nowShe was 70; he was 76. Sixteen-year old Patricia was new in town when she met Garry, who came from a local family with 13 kids.
