Claudette, Maurice & Family.

Please accept my most sincere condolences.  I loved Auntie Rosie and I was proud to be a part of her family.  Even though I haven't seen her in many, many years, I always kept up with news about her (from Auntie Cecil).  She was a wonderful woman and I will remember her always.

Your cousin - Sandra

Just a little note to say that this great lady "Nanny Dion" as we called her, will be sadly missed. She was an extremely pleasant person to have known and she always had a smile on her face and loved everyone.  She wasn't my nanny, but it felt very much like she was.  

I remember all of those camping trips to P.E.I. in Cabot Park, the family gatherings in Glencoe where she was present and it was always a fun time had.  She'd be there with her friendly smiles and always willing to participate in the fun.

She was a smart person and it was really nice to see that she remained that way until she got her call to be at God's side.  She said that she'd start all over again and maybe now she will do so in that peaceful place she is now.

Our sincere sympathies to all family members of Mrs. Rose Mary Dion

Love,
Denise, Roger and Matthew Gallant

Dear Don and Claudette,

I want to take this time and offering my sympathies once again.

Just a brief note to let you know how successful I was and going to the funeral and home  site to see the pictures on the website.  I enjoy seeing all the pictures of the course, especially those of your mother and of your family .  The one with Don  and  Claudette and the three boys was just excellent.  I don't know how old it is.  But it looks somewhat recent.  I was so pleased to see everyone looking so healthy and fine.  I want to reassure on you of my prayers in the next few weeks ahead during this very difficult time.  Take care and God bless all of you.  Sincerely, Ron

Dear Aunt Rosie,

 It has been along time since I last seen you and I have been meaning to write for the longest while. You have to know how important you are in my life and the lives in your circle of influence. Your spirit of life is infectious.

 I have always felt better each and every time I was blessed to spend time with you.  All be it ever so brief, you always impressed me with your universal unconditional love.  

 I can still remember the very first time I met you as a boy. We were visiting on our way to Moncton for summer vacation. I can still remember the huge smile and the excitement in your voice. The way you and mom would embrace, smile and laugh.  Then there was your cooking. Just outstanding, the smell of freshly baked bread was seared into my mind forever and the delicious pie. My mouth salivates with the memory. 

 As a child I was fixated on the food, the canoe trips out to the island and the story telling. Especially Uncle Armand, he sure could tell a story. I will never forget seeing you, Mom and Aunt Cecilia floating down the river on your backs with uncle Armand following you in the canoe for your safety. I always believed you were all fast asleep.

 The childhood memories were many but it was the memories I acquired as an adult that has influenced me more.  Memories I will carry for the rest of my life. When I realised the journey you and your sisters had taken, it fostered the realization of the special fortitude and character you have to always make the best of life. 

 You showed appreciation for life's smallest gifts, never letting the challenges way you down. I really loved to watch you, Mom and Celia laugh and smile making the most of every visit.  I truly believed that these reunions gave all three of you strength, prolonging and improving the quality of your lives. I will always treasure those reunions.

 I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being one of my heroes, for truly making a difference in the world.  I know you will argue that you got more than you gave, that's the way you are. I also truly believe that, your children, your grandchildren, your siblings and everyone who was fortunate enough to know you have value added to their lives.

 You are an every day hero whose life has the ripple affect of making our lives better.  I feel so blessed to have witnessed such greatness in such an amazing human being with a giant capacity to love.

 I miss you very much. My heart aches and is swollen with love for you. Aunt Rosie you have changed my life forever and I am eternally grateful. I know in my heart that when the day comes that you must leave us, the good lord will have a place of honour for you in heaven…..right beside Evangeline and Cecilia…three of the greatest angels ever.


Love

Steve

Dear Claudette & family & Maurice & family,

I am very saddened to hear of Aunt Rosie's passing.  She was a very wonderful Aunt and I was always welcomed and loved when I went to her home during those summer vacations with Mom(Eva nee Carr) and Dad(George Leighton).Aunt Rosie was a wonderful cook and we would over indulge in her wonderful homemade bread and homemade jam ... accompanied with a large glass of cold milk ... it was the best!!!   Aunt Rosie always took time to give you a big hug and a kiss.  She had a wonderful laugh and I just enjoyed hearing Aunt Cecile,Aunt Rosie and Mom(Eva) get together and they would reminisce about the good old times and laugh so long and hard:)  Aunt Rosie will always have a place in my heart.  My condolences to all the family.  My love goes out to you all at this time.

Love your cousin,
Sharon Tasse(nee Leighton)
