What an incredible woman, I feel so fortunate to have spent so much time with her in my youth. Truly one of the loveliest people to walk this earth. Peace and love to the extended Bolduc clan.

Miss you so much and I will never forget the deer shaped pancakes, old maid, the crossword puzzles, going to the wade pool, hiding behind the chair, making chocolate chip cookies, and how much it meant to me to have you there while growing up. I only wish I could have had the time to spend with you since I got older, but I am glad you are with God now. I love you so much and thank you for all you did for me.

A true lady in every sense of the word. Her infectious laugh would brighten a gloomy day, and make everything right with the world. Always warm and welcoming like you were part of the family. Oh the Memories! My most heartfelt sympathy to all my Bolduc family. Johnnie

Thoughts of Grandma

A petite little lady but as strong as they come,
would not rest her feet until the work was all done

The cellar stocked with Spaghettios and HI-C would make us joyfully scream,
then dessert in the freezer of Push-ups and ice cream

Her inquisitive teaching kept us on the right track,
tasty sugar-coated pie crust strips kept us running on back!

Homemade cotton candy, applesauce, and berries galore,
she had style and class but not afraid to play war on the floor

When we'd misbehave she'd speak in frustration,
was punishment alone to see a film of vacation

Missing her words such as "gads" and "good grief",
using a butter knife to cut her roast beef

-You are forever in our hearts and we will never forget your beautiful smile and your warm bubbly laugh! Love you Grandma, Kim

Grandma was as classy as they come! She did it all: raise three mischevious boys and a daughter, won awards for her baking, finished Grandpa's sentences when he couldn't remember what year something happened or how old someone was, and kept the peace for the entire clan. She taught us all so much! I can only hope to be as amazing a person as she was.
