Poitras Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was the best, she was funny and kind and she was always doing something for you and your children and anyone else who needed her. She will be greatly missed. But she is not suffering anymore and she is at peace with God now. So remember the good times that is what she would of wanted. You are in my thoughts and in my prayers. God Bless! Jo-Ann Leber Santarsiero
