Sincere sympathies to the Turgeon/Cote families during this very difficult time. I did not know Claire personally but enjoyed hearing about her through my brother in law Roger (Cote)!!! Roger and my sister in law Jeannine loved Claire with a passion and I know that her memory will live through them for a very long time.

Sincerely,
