Dear June,Paul,Pauline,Normand,and Grace,

I'm sorry I was unable to attend the service for your mom, but I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sympathy to you all in this time of parting. I trust this has come as a welcome release from the bonds of this earthly life for your dear mom. I sense she had a vision  and a longing for an eternal home of the soul with God, and I pray that may be her lot. No doubt her greatest desire was that her children would follow after. May God grant you grace to that end.
The passing of time has afforded a greater appreciation for the season of life I was privileged to spend in your families company. Your mom was as patient and loving to me as she was to her own, even at the times I didn't deserve it. A wonderful example of the fruit of the spirit. Nothing but wonderful memories remain.
As you go forward, may the Lord comfort you, may you comfort one another, and may He bless the wonderful memories each of you hold within your heart and mind.

Sincerely,
Scott

Aunt Cecile was always someone I admired.  I was her flower girl when she got married & I remember how proud I was.  I always looked up to her for going to nursing school & doing it on her own at a very hard time in her life.  She had such a lovely voice & I remember going to her home & singing around the piano.  We spent many a happy Sunday at the cottage.  When my mother got cancer she was there for us.  I'm certain God has a very special place for her.

CC:  It's been a pleasure and honor knowing you for the past 27 years.  You are the example of mother and grandmother all women should aspire to be.  I will miss our discussions on science, current events and of course POLITICS!  Rest in Peace, you will be missed.  Dick Watrous

Our condolences to the loved ones of Cee Cee (Mere).  We were so truly blessed to have Mere in our lives.  I am certain she will be looking down on all.  She was a wonderful, loving, and giving woman with one of the warmest smiles I have had the pleasure of being around.  She always made the boys and I feel special.  May you all find peace from God above.  With love always, Ed and Cathy Guidi, Chris and Tyler Kenny, Albert and Rinette Chasse.

Anytime I think of my grandma I remember her pink polished nails, the cup of coffee that never left her side, the song/songs she always sang, her smile that could light up any room, and most of all her heart. She had a big one. She loved everyone. If there was something she could do to help someone, she would do it with out hesitation. Also, when we were at Strawberry Park she would always play bingo, walk around for hours on end, go to the dances and be the last one to leave, and of course eating. Mere could eat. It would take her hours but she would finish it.Mere was an amazing lady who had a huge heart. I will always love and miss you.
