Rose M. Lanier

Don & Debbie Sicard,
Your grand, gran "memere" was a font of love, courage and joy to all in the Lanier/Sicard family. You are blessed in the grand heritage she has left to all.

My condolences on the loss of Rose. I only met her a couple of times but I knew her through anecdotes that my grandmother used to tell. (She was Yvonne LaFrance; Emile was a first cousin of my grandfather--Wilfred LaFrance). My Memere was very fond of Rose. May her memory be a blessing to you.

May the faith of your mother be with you at this time. Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. The Dionne-Lanier connection has always been a strong one. We have had many examples in our lives through our parents what the importance of family and faith are. We have been blessed many times over.

Our love, thoughts and prayers.

My heart goes out to all of you at the loss of your mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Having lost my own mother as well as my "Memere" Dionne I know this can be a very difficult time. But, even though she has passed on, know that she will always be with you. May your memories of Aunt Rose help ease your sadness.

My condolences to the family for the loss of your dear mother and all families.She was indeed a very good person and friend.

We can remember Aunt Rose and uncle Emile (as they were effectionally known) coming to Vermont so uncle Emile could deer hunt. Aunt rose always had a smile and a very nice French accent.

Rosie girl.. I will miss you greatly. You became my very close friend and I'm blessed to have known you. You will be very missed!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.
