Remembering Patricia Jolicoeur

Patricia Jolicoeur has died. Her life touched the community of St-Lazare, west of Montreal, like few others. Patricia was struck by a car, racing another down her suburban street, as she was walking her dog. She suffered a severe brain injury and has led a difficult life in a West Island care facility ever since. Since the accident, people in St-Lazare have raised tens of thousands of dollars to help with Patricia's care. Hundreds put up signs on their lawn reading "Slow down for Patricia." We spoke to Julie Maranda has been a neighbour, friend and doctor to Patricia Jolicoeur.
