My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Marie. Rick and I have been friends a long time and my fondest memory is playing cards with Marie, even if she always beat us. She was always the voice of reason, an Amazing Mom, and a great friend. We miss you tons.

My mother, Rita Lavallée (born Belanger, Dorothy Berthiaume's daughter and Marie's cousin) told me about Marie passing away. Marie had such a nice smile in the photo you've put on this web site. I just wanted to let you know that you are all in our prayers. My mother reminisced with me on the phone the other night and told me the news and some nice stories about your family.

Ricky and family,
I want to extend my deepest sympathies to you all. I'm sorry I didn't make the services. I went to school with Marie and she was a really sweet quiet person, when she was talking about her family she always wore a beautiful smile.
God Bless you All as you go through this, remember she loved you all dearly and wants you all to be happy, and I'm sure she is looking down on you all..and will take care of you like the loving mother she is.
God Speed,
Catherine (Smith) Driscoll

I only met Marie during Parent/teacher conferences concerning her children but judging from those memories of her and the result of her parenting, she was an exceptional person. At each meeting she impressed me with her caring, understanding, and humor. The world is definitely a sadder place without her but we are all richer for having met her.

We are going to miss Marie terribly - the bond between her and I and also with my family was incredible. I feel like I have lost a Sister-Mother and my kids a grandmother even though she was their aunt. I will miss our talks and time spent together. The last few weeks with Marie should teach us all a lesson on how precious life really is and to savor each and every day that we are here on this earth. I'm sure she is up there with my Dad and will be watching over all of us - she definitly earned her wings. Rick, Krystle, Ricky & Jon, We love you and will be here always for you.
Love, Laurie,Scott,Michael,Ben & Adam

To All of Marie's Wonderful Family and Friends, Our hearts are full of such sorrow in the loss of one of the nicest persons in the world. Marie was a great wife, mother and friend. She never had a bad word to say. We will hold her, and all of you, in our hearts forever... we can only hope that someday we will join her again and see that beautiful smile of hers. Hold on to the memories and know that now she is at peace.

Friends are special and we are honored to have had Marie and her family as our friends. Our hearts are aching because she is no longer with us, but I am sure she is in heaven, because that is where special people go, and she is now reunited with her dad and brother in law, Arnold and others who have arrived there before her. She is there where there is no more suffering, probably playing cards, and all is ok. She will be with us always in our thoughts and hearts with the great memories and times that we shared with her. When I think of Marie I think of her smile, she always had the nicest smile that she gave to you when you saw her. She never complained about anything, and when asked how she was doing, she would reply, "I am ok, how are you doing?" Marie and her family are special people and I am honored to call them "Friends"
My love and condolances to all of her family, and all of her friends.
with Love from
Patty and Phil Woods

Words cannot express how deep our sorrow is with the loss of Marie. We loved her very much and enjoyed spending time with her no matter what it is that we were doing. The word will be a little less brighter without Marie in it.
