Dear Nathalie and family,
I got to know your mom through your stories and your trips home to see everyone. She is at peace with your dad. Your are a very dear friend to me and my family. We are so very sorry for your loss.  We are praying you and your family will find comfort in knowing she is your guiding light while you are here on earth. 
All our Love Mike and Lori

Dear Nathalie,
Your mom was such a blessing to me over the years that I knew her through our Christ the King church.  She always had a smile and a hug 
for me and loved to talk about her family.  I especially enjoyed hearing her share her love for the Lord and wise insights at our Bible study.  I was so impressed that she read her Bible in French just to stay sharp!  You cared well for your mom Nathalie, and I know you will miss you.  Be comforted with the fact that her faith is now sight and she is with her Lord that she loved and served.

Natalie,
We are so sorry for your loss.  I know this was not what you expected or hoped for when you moved down to be with your mom.  The time we have with loved ones is so precious.  
I am glad your mom is no longer suffering. If we are faithful we have the promise of spending eternity with those we love.  God loves us and these trials will soon be over. I believe Jesus is coming soon...for your mom it will be the very next thing she knows to hear the voice of God shouting "awake!" We love you Natalie.

There are a million more pictures I could post of all the good times and memories we had but they will forever be in my heart ❤️ 
I am so beyond grateful for you and dad being such a huge part of Briahna's life. You both made such an impact on her and she will forever have those fond memories.I will miss you so much you have no idea. You thought you were a burden but to me you never were and I would take you back and do It all again to have you here with me.But I know you are in  Heaven with the Lord and dad and for that I am at peace. Until we see each other again Mom . I Love you ❤️💕😘

Dear Francine,
I am heartbroken to know you are no longer with us here at EP. Your light and energy, your love and empathy meant so much to me as I waged my own cancer battle. Your strength and softness will help me go forward and help us all age gracefully here in our gorgeous piece of paradise. Thank you for all the wonderful life lessons. RIP dear friend. Love and condolences to all.

I feel very blessed to have gotten to know Francine Croteau.  Nathalie is my very best friend, my maid of honor at my wedding, and a very important person in my life.  I am feeling so very sad for the loss of her mother, a beautiful woman inside and out.  Nathalie, maybe our mothers are enjoying heaven together, watching over us until we see them again.   My heart breaks for your family.  I know she is at peace and at home now.  It’s simply hard for those of us left behind, for now.  We will all meet again.  Much love and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Francine’s passing. She was always the most smiling, vibrant woman and looked and acted way younger than her years.  Every day she was enthusiastic on her beach walk, sharing her finds along the way,  swimming in the gulf and enjoying the Secret Garden.  She was truly an EP treasure and her positivity and smile will certainly be missed~  My deepest condolences to all her family.

My dad's pearl, my precious mother...words cannot express how I will miss her. I am so glad we went to Paris, France together. I was blessed to know her first as mother and then as my lifelong friend.

I am saddened to hear of Francine's passing.  My deepest condolences to family and friends.  Wishing you comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Francine's beautiful smile and kindness will be greatly missed  at Envoy Point.  I'm thankful to have met her and to have her be part of our community.

Dear Francine's Family,

My condolences on your loss.  It's so sad to hear this after she fought so hard and valiantly to live and enjoy her life at Envoy Point.  Her lovely smile and optimistic attitude will be missed.

I am forever grateful for all the amazing memories I have with grandma. She was the most creative, bubbly, beautiful, and caring lady and I am beyond blessed to call her my grandma. I am selfishly sad that she has left us but I am comforted knowing she is in Heaven with the Lord and my grandpa, somewhere she has always looked forward to in Gods timing. Her time on Earth has finished, but the impact she left on so many will go on forever. I love you grandma 💛

My sister Francine passed away  November 9 2025.
She is in heaven greeted by our Savior Jesus Christ. We will have a heavenly reunion at God's appointed time.
My only sister born 13 years apart was more than my sister.She at times took on the role of mother,sister,friend and supporter. Larry and I were beyond happy when she came to visit us at the lakehouse.We had such a blessed time together! She mentioned that she was looking forward to coming back for our wedding but God had other plans.We know she is resting now,away from the pain of cancer and totally healed in heaven with our precious Savior Jesus Christ and we know we shall meet each other there! Mourn we will,but not without hope,as we will see her again in the portals of heaven,where there is no pain,sorrow,sickness or suffering. I think the Lord is having her sew new curtains for her heavenly mansion now.We will continue to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. He will carry us through this.
