I remembered Honore' David in the Five College in Retirement Program. My husband, Roger A. Coulombe, worked on the Curriculum Committee with Honore' developing the right courses to be offered as well as the correct persons to facilitate those courses. I very much remember Roger remarking about what a wonderful asset Honore' was to the committee with all of her personal references and relationships which inhanced the courses that were put forth to our membership. She was a gem! Kathryn M....

It was with sadness when I just read the passing of Honore´ I knew her well from work at the University of Massachusetts. She was well loved by everyone. She was quite the amazing woman She will be remembered and missed by many many, who knew her

In 1982, we moved back to Amherst and I got a job at the Division of Continuing Education at UMass. Honoré was warm, welcoming, helpful, and altogether a lovely person. Later I worked with her on the Fine Arts Center Gala committee and founder to still be a deeply committed, kind, and knowledgeable person and a joy to work with. She will be sorely missed by any of us who knew her and by the community at large.

So sorry for your loss. She had a wonderful illustrious career and raise a beautiful child.

What an amazing life! Sending our love to Michelle, Don and family.

Michelle, what a beautiful tribute to a remarkable woman. Thinking of you and your dad as you navigate the world without her. Sending
