Dear Collette & the McHugh Family.
Trish was a very special friend, always ready to lay her healing hand on me, when she heard I had breast cancer. She has been in my prayers every day. I am truly sorry for your loss. She will be sorely missed. My sympathy to you all. Jeannine Belisle & Rosa Jennings, former neighbors of Collette on Duncaster Rd.
