To the Tanguay Family ~
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom...I can remember the many good times we all had at Camp Westwood. My prayers are with you.
May you find comfort knowing that she is now in the loving hands of God our Father and the she is resting peacefully in God's glory.

God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence, their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for the Tanguay Family, relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.
In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen.

Dear Tanguay Family ~
Many memories of Camp Westwood. My prayers are with you.

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want; He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil;
for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever. Psalm 23

Marie Tanguay is to this day has been my favorite teacher. Her care for her students went above and beyond what was expected. Her passion for what she believes was inspiring. We shared a birthday and on my bureau are the gifts she gave me when I was a student that I have treasured to this day. To her family I am sorry for your loss. I know her presence will be missed by many.

Mrs. Tanguay was my seventh and eighth grade teacher at St. Patrick's and, for me, was very instrumental in helping to shape the woman I have become. She was a very strong woman who always showed that she cared about her students in numerous little ways. I have had many teachers over my years of education but she has always stood out as one of my favorites. I am truly sorry to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and all those who have known her and loved her. Mrs. Tanguay made a difference in my life and I want those who knew her, especially her family, to know that. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Tanguay Family,
Words cannot express how truly sorry I am on the passing of Marie. She was the sweetest person I ever met. I met her at our Deaf church several years ago through my dear friend Deacon Paul. She had been so kind, a beautiful smile, and such a twinkle in her eye, it was so easy to love such an inspirational person. She loved to tell me stories about her angels and what they meant to her. Marie is now in good hands with God and his son Jesus, where she will be very well taken care of. I pray that God will comfort all of you during this very sad time. This is the time to celebrate her life, and all the wonderful ways she showed how much she loved her family, relatives and friends. Marie will truly be missed. You are all in my prayers. Deacon Paul cherish all the wonderful memories that you and Marie had together all the years of your married life and know how happy you made Marie.
You are all in my heart and prayers,
