As a friend and co-worker of Poucette I very much enjoyed getting to know Odette. Her visits to our office were always a joy. Her hugs and smiles made each visit a highlight of the day! She will be missed by many!

Bobby, Pat and Poucette, I am very sorry to hear that your mom recently passed. I always liked your mom, she was always so nice. I use to love it when she yelled at you guys in french because in that language everything sounds so diplomatic and nice.I am sure you may have had a different take on it but it certainly did not sound like the noice that came from our house. I know this will be difficult for you all because i know that you all had very close relationship with your mom. All of you will be in my thoughts, take care.
