I always remember enjoying seeing aunt Marceline during her visits up here to Oregon with Uncle Joe. Also visiting her in Louisiana as a child, later as a teenager and eventually while I was in the military. I was saddened to hear of her loss.

One of the fondest memories I have is growing up across the street from her on St-Michel Street. I always think of her as one of the smartest and most loving people that I've ever known. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Babin family.

Aunt Marcelne always had a way of making me feel special. She was a role model for me. There are no words to express the sadness of our loss. Knowing that she was able to share in the Easter celebration in Heaven is a comfort.
