So sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. B. as she was known as to so many of us from Dracut. Having kids so far apart in age she certainly was "Mom" to more than just her kids. She always had a warm smile and kind words for everyone who entered her home. From my family to yours, you are in our thoughts and prayers. May she Rest In Peace.

Steve, Scott, Jon, Ellen, Paula and family.
Janet and I are so lucky to have known your wonderful mother. Finding the right words to express about what a great person and mom she was are difficult for us to find. Perhaps what says it best is that we know our son, and so many of your other long time friends, truly loved your mom and will always remember her as their own very special second mom. There's no doubt Ellie is resting in heaven and enjoying the rewards of living such a loving, caring, and positive life. Please accept our deepest sympathy and love.

Often its hard to understand, why things happen as they do. Especially when you lose someone who has been so dear to you. We know not of tomorrow, but one thing we can be sure.....God knows what your going through and , he will help you to endure.
You always share those memories, of someone who did care. Remember the special moments you two did share. and I hope that when tomorrow comes a brighter day you will see and share.

Breakfast at Ellie"s because she had the good cereal,spilt milk every meal, soccer games,break dance contest,cub scouts and trying to fold the flag,skate boarding and broken limbs,the parties,the proms,and the sleep overs,holidays,vacations and the constant activity of kids throughout the house. The phone rings.."The kids are on the bus,the coffee is on,come on over" I will miss you my dear friend.I love you. Kids find your strength in each other. Smile when you think of your Mom, cherish your memories and remember she will be with you always....Love all of you so much. Sue

This woman had a heart of gold! As infrequent as I saw her in these last 15 years I always knew how happy and thrilled she was with any update of my kids and family. From the outside looking in -- she seemed the rock in this family and for many others. It will be sad for me today, but I will keep thoughts of her in mind positive today in celebration of her life. My prayers to all the Beaudoin kids, you guys will also be in my thoughts today. My deepest and sincerest sympathy goes out to you all.

To all of you Beaudoin Children,
I just want you all to know how much I loved and admired your Mom. She was a big influence in my life in my younger years and throughout. Even though our paths didn't cross as often as they once did, it never changed the way I felt about her.
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you and to your children as well, as I am sure they will miss their Grandmother.
Please know that you are all in my prayers and that Your Mom will be number one on my list as I asked the Dear Lord to help all of us through this terrible time.
