Mom, Words cant describe the feelings.
You will be sorely missed. I have never known another person who was so nonjudgmental, unselfish, caring, loving and giving. I could go on forever. What a role model. I am so proud to have you for a mother. You deserved all you accomplished in life. We will never forget the times around the kitchen table, Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas with family and the love and devotion to dad. I can see why he felt like the luckiest man in the world. (which he often commented on). Thanks to my wonderful family ,who's dedication enabled Mom to stay home where she was most comfortable. You left us all with wonderful memories. We love you. Mark, Lisa, Jimmy, Julia, Laura and Christina

Dear Mathieu Family,
I'm sorry to learn of the loss of your mother. We grew up in a simpler time, and I'll always cherish the memories formed on Harvey Lane. Football games the length of three backyards, playing in the fields and cow pastures, and always having a steady family life. It's truly amazing to think what your Mom did, and the energy and passion she put into so many lives. My thoughts are with you. God Bless.

To the wonderful Mathieu Family,
My heart goes out to all of you with the loss of such an extraordinary mother. I felt blessed and privileged to assist in caring for your mother. I will always cherish the friendship we shared, and learning about her life. She was always so kind and appreciative. She lived each day following her faith in God. I learned so much from her, that she will always hold a special place in my heart. She was one of the kindest, compassionate, loving, most humble and positive person I have ever met. She loved all of you so much and was so proud of all that each one of you have accomplished in your lives. You are truly a special family devoting yourselves to your mother so she could stay at home. May God bless all of you as you cherish the lifetime of memories. May God give you the strength in the days ahead with this deep loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mom is at peace now and your Dad is waiting with open arms to have her join him in heaven. Love and Peace, Diane O'Regan, Glen Orsi, and Mary O'Regan
