My deepest sympathies to Michele's husband and family; extended family, friends and colleagues. 

I'd only recently bumped into her in the lobby of the building we both work in, in late April I believe.  I was a friend of one of her friends in High School; so I remember her from MANY years ago.  Just to say; She went out of her way to say hello to me when many have turned their heads or avoided eye contact recognizing me now having to use a walker for mobility issues.
 I felt it important that you know this; goes to character.  Great person.

I will miss her with you.

Amitier,

To Mr. and Mrs. Bertrand, and of course to Alan, my sincere sympathies. I went to elementary school with Michele at St-Paul in Overbrook and then had the pleasure to work closely with her for a few years in HRSDC.  It was a pleasure to get to know each other again at that time and I learned so much from her. We had wonderful, both serious, interesting and funny conversations. She always had a good word to say about her husband, her family and friends and just enjoyed life. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Michele and to you.

Dear Denise, Paul and, of course, Alan... your hearts must be broken. I was shocked and so sad for all of you and your loss. I remember Chele when she was a student and worked in Emerg as a ward clerk at CHEO... so full of enthusiasm for life and the future. My thoughts and prayers and hugs to each and all of you!

Alan, very sorry about your loss.   Please accept my sympathies and condolences to you and your family.

Dear Alan and family-  Chele was a 'ray of sunshine' in the office!  We worked in the same departmental Branch (ESDC) a few years.  We had many great talks one on one as well.

Dear Alan, Mr. & Mrs. Bertrand,

We were shocked and very saddened to hear that Chele passed away last Friday. Chele was such a bright life in this world and we will cherish her memory forever. We pray that God comfort you during this very difficult time.

A few years back we went on a BC ski holiday with Chele and Alan. Chele had recently had an operation so she was taking it easy and kindly offered to ski with us novice skiers. Her generosity and warmth made the holiday so special that we've talked many times about repeating it. Sadly, that will now never occur. Chele will be greatly missed by us and all those that knew her. Our condolences and sympathies to Alan and her family.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends. Michèle was a great person and colleague. She was always positive. I have only good memories of her. She will be missed.

Alan,  

My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family.   I will be thinking of you at this time of loss.

Alan, Paul and Denise.  My sincere condolances.  Chele was a bright spark in a sometimes deary world.

We were deeply saddened by the news of Michele.  As one of her cousins, I have so many fond memories playing with Michele as a child.  She was always full of spunk and fun.  We will remember her visit to us in Calgary and her warm smile and generous spirit.

May God bless you and keep you, and may you feel comforted by the love of those that surround you.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Love from Kathi & Luc Lalonde and family.  Calgary, Alberta.

My deepest condolences to the family. I will truly miss Michèle as my colleague and friend.

I am shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Chele's passing. I had the honour and privilege of working for Chele on the Emerging Trends team back when I first joined government. Her sharp mind and quick whit always made work fun, interesting and dynamic. She was my greatest champion, always pushing me to better myself and I truly believe, I wouldn't be where I am today without her unwavering support. I will also remember Chele for her adoration of her husband Alan, their pets and her family.  My thoughts and prayers are with Chele's family at this time.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Chele's passing. We worked together; I will remember her fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Alan and family, Words can't express the shock I feel at hearing this news about Chele. She was a colleague for many years but also a friend. We first met in the Program Evaluation shop at HRSDC when she was a Management Trainee. I liked her instantly. I remember when she met Alan, the love of her life. Please accept my deepest sympathy and know that she will be missed. Margaret Laing

Michèle was a beautiful person!  I was a colleague of Michèle's at Transport and so much enjoyed her zest of life. My heart and prayers are with you!

I a so sorry to hear of Michele's passing. We worked together and she was so warm and welcoming. My condolences to her family and friends. May her memory be a blessing.

One of my first interactions with Michele and Alan is a day where we bagged all the leaves on a sick neighbor's property.  It was Michele's idea.  I realized how lucky I was to have met such great people.  She was a generous and giving person and will be remembered fondly.

Alan and family words can't express how saddened I am to hear of your loss. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear of Michèle passing. Please know that Alan and family is in our hearts and prayers.
