J'ai eu le plaisir de côtoyer Maureen au cours de ces dernières années et il était agréable d'échanger des moments de nos vies mutuelles sur nos heures de lunch. Pierre, ainsi que vos enfants et petits enfants, vous étiez son bonheur et je partage votre peine.

Dear Pierre, Michelle and Patrick,
Please accept my sincerest condolences. Maureen and I shared many work days together over 24 years we constantly ran into each other from Montreal to St. Sauveur. May she rest in peace.
Fondly,

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I work with Maureen, only few years but it was enough to say that I loved her very much. She was a fantastic person to work for. I will always remember her.

The legacy Maureen leaves behind can be seen and heard and felt through all who were touched by her along the way. I will carry yet a small piece with me forever. Sweet rest.

Dear Maureen,

My memories go back to when I was so young I dare not remember. I feel I owe you a big thank you for always being inviting and that would be an understatement. Ever since I was young I remember going up to Canada in both the summer and winter and every time I did, I would always look forward to it. You had mapped out our festivities every time. We will go ice skating Wednesday, skiing Thursday, snow tobogganing Friday, have a party on Sunday, go for indoor swimming where we would sort of sneak in with Patrick, Michelle, and Julie at this brand new hotel that opened. (“I know somebody there.”) You always had something planned, where to stay, etc. If it wasn’t for you, when I was growing up I wouldn’t have looked forward to such great times I had with everybody. I consider you my second family, my aunt. You where always my mother’s best friend. Even though I only got to see you twice a year growing up those times in my life, I will never forget how much fun it all was.

I remember one time, I think it was end of summer, and Linda was driving and I was sitting in the back seat with Patrick and Michelle, we were all being very annoying and my mother was lost. But you were relaxed “Oh Linda just turn down there make a right, no I mean a left.” My mother (Linda) was not a good driver but we were all laughing that we made it there in one piece, as my mother just learned how to drive.

Or how the first time I went cross country skiing was with you. I have so many great memories because of you at the lake house, etc. where my mother and you would talk about old times and sneak a cigarette while me and Patrick were probably getting into trouble.

I don’t know what to say. I am heart broken that you left this fine earth. As you not knowingly shaped my life by having so much fun planned every time I came to Canada for vacation. You are undoubtedly and will always be part of my family, just as I consider Michelle, and Patrick as my siblings and Pierre as my uncle. Words will never describe how much you meant to me. If it wasn’t for your blatant remarks at times to my mother (Linda) about some looser guy she was dating at the time and how much you hated him, Linda would probably be still dating that looser.

So I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, how much unknowingly you molded my life. I will miss you greatly. Canada will just never be the same without you.

Love,
Michael

Dear Kelly (and extended) Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I had a chance to catch up with Maureen not too long ago after many years and I still could see that fight and fire in her that I will always remember and which I will keep dear in my heart. Traveling across the Rockies and negotiating the pitching of tents with Maureen will always form some of my fondest life memories. All of us from those days back at Dawson College think of Maureen with great fondness and we will miss her greatly.

Dear Barb,
I was so very sorry to hear your sad news from Louise the other night.
My sincerest sympathies go out to you and your family. I didn't know your sister, but from what you've told me and what people are sharing about her, she clearly was a wonderful, and very well-loved person. I'm holding you close, my friend.

We Heard The Angel Say
We thought we saw your face today,
?in the sparkle of the morning sun.?
And then we heard the angel say,?
"Her work on earth is done."??
We thought we heard your voice today,?
then laugh your hearty laugh.?
And then we heard the angel say,?
"There's peace dear one at last."??
We thought we felt your touch today,
?in the breeze that rustled by.?
And then we heard the angel say,?
"Her spirit never dies."??
We thought we saw our broken hearts,
?in the crescent of the moon.?
And then we heard the angel say,?
"The Lord is coming soon."??
We thought that you had left us,?
for the stars so far above.?
And then we heard the angel say,?
"She left you with her love."??
We thought that we would miss you so,?
and never find our way.?
And then we heard the angel say,?
"She is with you every day."?
"The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,?
will forever be around,?reminding us of the
love we shared,?and the peace she has finally found.

Our sincere and deepest condolences to the Kelly/Beaulne Family.

Maureen, my memories of you go back to the summer of 1959, swimming in Lac Alouette behind your house on St, Joseph in St. Sauveur.

I was a teacher of Maureen's many years ago in Ste. Agathe des Monts and I just want to add my condolences.

Drar Maureen,
This is my last letter that I am going to write to you, but it is not the last time I am going to see you. You are my best friend, we met when I was 11 years old. You taught me so many things. Your strength and courage have taught me how to be a better person. I always loved your positive nature and how you fought so hard through your cancer. You always had a smile on your face, a kind thing to say and a great dinner waiting for me, when I came to visit. I have never known anyone like you, Maureen Kelly Beaulne. You are a shinning example of a beautiful person, Inside and out. I will always remember you blonde curly hair, directing your play in high school. How you started the school newspaper and organized our vacations. Giving birth to your beautiful children, Patrick and Michelle and your wedding day to Pierre. I was lucky, I was there to witness just how amazing you are. But you taught me something long ago when I was 15, and that was never never give up and I won't Maureen, because you are my best friend and I love you so much.
Love you always,
Linda Hartmann
