Ne pleure pas mon Beppi, je suis là avec toi, ne pleure pas. Je m'excuse je ne pouvais plus rester dans mon corps endolori, dans mon corps ravagé par la maladie, j'ai dû le quitter, il ne pouvait plus supporter mon âme, mon esprit... Je suis partout, dans la nature que j'aime tant, je suis avec les arbres, les animaux, les oiseaux que j'admire tant, je te vois tu sais, je te protège tu sais, ne pleure pas mon Beppi. Je t'aime tu sais, un jour nous serons ensemble de nouveau mon amour, pour toujours, ne pleure pas...ne pleure pas...

Beautiful dragonfly,
Carrying the magic of transformation
With iridescent wings
Moving you powerfully,
Guiding you gracefully
To wherever you want to be.

Beautiful dragonfly,
You let us know whenever you are around
That Geneviève is free and whole
No longer confined to her body
And yet, she is still here
She is still everywhere.

Beautiful dragonfly,
You are so free.
You are so loved.
You are still with me.

Our thoughts are with you today Joe. 💙

Ah, Geneviève, ma cherie!  

I will miss greeting you with those words and hearing your response.  You were always a bright light at the College for Seniors in Burnaby where we both taught.  I was so pleased whenever I ran into you there and we shared a greeting and a hug.  Your students and fellow teachers and staff will miss you too. 
 
Rest in peace in our Saviour's loving arms, my friend.  


Dear Joe and family,

We were so sad to hear about Geneviève; I am remembering all the fun times we had  at the many many SMACNA events we 
spent together with both of you over the years. Geneviève was very special to us and I always enjoyed seeing her and laughing and talking and catching up. I will always have a place in my heart for her. I have one more thought and that is her signature word ‘ooolala.’ 

We will miss you Geneviève, Rest In Peace 💞
