I was also student of Mrs. Coderre's and learned so many life skills from her that I still use to this day. She always had a kind word and a smile to share with everyone. What a great lady who touched the lives of so many.

Dear Jeanne,
My sincere condolences in your mom's passing. In my Senior year at LHS I was one of your mom's students in Home Ec. In our last semester we had a choice between cooking or learning to knit. We chose to knit and 50 years later I am still knitting. Evey time I pick up my needles I think of your mom. Thank you Mrs. Coderre. Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
