Oncle "Magloire", Paulin, Donald, André et Jean-Marc, je tiens à vous dire que j'ai été très heureux d'être avec vous pour rendre un dernier hommage à tante Colette. Elle aura toujours une place spéciale dans mon coeur, comme dans le coeur de bien d'autres personnes. Elle nous a quitté comme elle a vécu, dans l'amour et la dignité. Gardez en tête les bons moments et elle sera toujours avec vous.
Sincèrement, Pierre

Accueillante, chaleureuse et surtout pleine d'amour envers les autres. Je me souviens de ma marraine comme étant la tante qui donnait les plus beaux câlins du monde. Elle t’embrassait comme si tu étais un des ses petits. Elle avait un esprit cosmopolite qui se dévoilait naturellement dans ses conversations. Elle s’intéressait avec sincérité à la vie des autres et elle voulait en savoir plus sur ce que tu avais à dire. Tante Colette, tu seras toujours présente dans le coeur de ton filleul.

We are all deeply saddened by the loss of ma taunte Collette.

Toutes mes sympathies à Marcel et famille. J'ai bien aimé les visites de Colette avec ma fille Marie-Jeanne. J'ai l'ai connu comme étant une personne très gentille et douce, qui se souciait de ma santé. En plus on partageait le goût du tricot. Une autre chose que j'admirais d'elle est sa grande foi en Dieu. Qu'elle repose en paix.

Marcel & Family,
My wife and I were deeply sadden to hear of the passing of Colette. I worked with Colette many years ago at the Pub's Depot and I thought the world of her. I remember the times during the strike many many years ago that I would meet up with Colette in a parking lot near work so we could drive together in order to cross the picket line. We always had fun and joked a lot. She will be greatly missed.

We are deeply sorry for your loss. May you find peace in knowing Colette has gone to join the angels in heaven. She was a great friend, so kind,so caring, so genereous. I will always treasure our conversations and weekly trips to bingo in Russell. When my cancer returned she couldn't do enough to help my husband and I. She was always there with meals, baking, treats and ready to do anything and everything she could. Our world has lost a wonderful woman. Heaven has gained a saint.

Chers Marcel et famille,
Nos sincères sympathies à toi, tes fils et à ta famille en ce moment très triste dans vos vies. We met Colette 21 years ago when we moved across the road. It was always conforting to know that she was there watching over our house and watching our young boys get on the school bus every morning. That part was very special to us and we were very fortunate to have such a sweet and loving woman to depend on. There will not be a day that we don't look out our front window or step outside and not think of Colette. You don't realize how much someone is important in your life until they are gone. We will all miss you very much Colette. Marcel please know that we are there whenever you need us.
