Hi Grandma!

I smile to you from down here. There is always somethings that stay when someone leaves. I am left with an example of a great woman; gentle and pure, simple and giving. I wish to return all these smiles & joys you gave to us when we where in your presence.

The loss of a mother runs deep. She is the thread that binds the family by weaving the memories together as the years pass by. We each had our own special relationship with Nana that will live on in our hearts. This journey is one we all must take, but knowing she passed gracefully and peacefully shall remind us how truly special she was.
We will think of you often!!!!
May you all find comfort in your thoughts and prayers at this time.
Much Love
Debbie Galipeau

I will always remember grandma and her stories about life and times in the 1940, 50 and 60ties... they were the best:) We were never bored visiting her, even as very young kids. She had lots to say and she is a true survivor. Cheers to you nana, I drink this one to you. I felt it when you passed away and felt the need to call my parents and this is when they told me about you crossing the line of time. I know you are right there looking over us now, I'm glad to have such an angel over my head and I am sure everyone will say the same. You are loved and remembered. Thank you for having this book for memories and for arranging this antie:) Love from Calgary Josee
