Dear Judy and Bob

I was very saddened to receive your news of your Mothers passing. I have so many great memories of your Mom and Dad when I was young growing up in Ottawa and spending time at the cabin. Genevieve was a cherished friend of my parents and I wish they had been able to spend more time in their later years. Your mom was always great to talk with over the phone and I always felt enriched after our talks. I guess I took it for granted that she would live forever because Genevieve never slowed down.

Take care and keep those incredible memories of you mom close at heart as she is always just a thought away. God Bless

Ted & Rayanne LaBrosse and Family.

Dear Judy,
On behalf of my Mother, Simonne
Sullard (Renkers), please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss
of your dear Mom.
Simonne has Alzheimer's and sadly
could not attend the service.
I have made a copy of the notice
from the Citizen for her, however,
sadly she will be unable to retain
the announcement for more than
a few moments.

Simonne always had the highest regard for your Mom and she will
be sad to hear of her passing.

Take Care
Toni Lyons-Mindzak (Simonne's Daughter)

Dear Judy, Bob and Shelagh,

I was very saddened to hear the news of Aunt Genevieve's sudden passing last week. It was a real treat to see her on my trip to Canada in October. She was her usual self - full of energy, wit and was as sharp as always. I will always remember her kindness and generosity to me over all the years.

I know that her passing will not only leave a void in all of our lives, but also in the hearts of all those who knew her.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Judy, I've decided that Aunt Genevive is up in heaven organizing everyone and making sure the do it right. I also pretty sure my Dad would be there to take care of her and get her settled in. That is what makes it easier...
