Dear Laurel, Marianne and your families.
I recently learnt of your mother's death from your cousin Jeanine to whom I am indebted as I would not otherwise have had the opportuntiy to express my sincerest sympathies. Your mother was a most remarkable woman whom my brother and I had the privilege of meeting. As you may or may not remember, your mother took care of my brother and I at Collège St. Joseph in Zenon Park. She extended untold kindness to two urchins who were taken in as part of the extended St. Amand family while boarders at the Collège for which we remember with great fondness. May she rest in well deserved Peace.

Chère Laurel,
Je viens de voir à l'ordinateur que ta mère est décédée au lendemain de Noël. Mes plus sincères condoléances à toi, ton époux tes enfants et ta soeur et sa famille. Tu as été très bonne pour elle et je suis certaines qu'elle est partie en paix. Que le Seigneur remplisse le vide que tu sentiras.

Je voudrais avertir Sr. Claire Dargis, sa grande amie, mais je viens de recevoir la nouvelle qu'elle est tombée et a peut-être eu une attaque d'apoplexie.

C'est avec grand regret que je ne pourrais pas être présente aux funérailles à moins que les choses changent.

Je vous garde tous dans ma prière.

Réjeanne
