Gramps

Not a day goes by where I don’t stop to think of you, I still think you are only a phone call away, what I wouldn’t give for your strong voice and empowering words of wisdom. I truly believe you have been my life line in the last few years I’ve felt you at times so strongly I have to take a look around to see if you are there, I love you gramps I miss you dearly but your memories live on through me and into my kids,until we bear hug and laugh again..,,love you always & forever

Trace xoxo

I have been thinking about you a lot lately, gramps. I can still hear your infectious laugh and how it made me feel so good to bring it out of you. 15 years have passed, but your memory is alive and well in me. I show my kids pictures and tell stories of all the good times we had, i wish they could have known you the way we did. I was very fortunate to have the 2 best grandfathers anyone could ask for. Both you and my grandpa Peter have a lot to do with who I am today. Love you gramps.

Thirteen years ago a golden heart stopped beating.
Maurice since your ship set sail into the sunset to anchor in Heaven, the road has been at times very difficult. During my darkest moments I felt your strength,encouragement and you firmly holding my hand while standing proudly next to me.It is effortless reminiscing with tenderness our well trodden path.I still distinctively recall when our eyes first met from that moment on and even in a sea of people my eyes were always searching yours.I was not your first date,your first kiss or even your first marriage; you were my first and I just wanted to be your last everything. You came into my world so unexpectedly,took my heart and changed my life forever. In a heartbeat we were set on fire without a pause, or a doubt You gave me the feelings that people write salacious novels about but ours was my favorite edition.Our love was composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies which made the eternal ride worthwhile. You were my rock, inspiration,balance support,anchor and wings. If I could have anyone in this world it would still be you, not even time can and will change your imprint which is so deeply engraved within my whole being.Your love of life was insatiable always giving of yourself;at no time expecting anything in return and never ever complaining. In spite of my imperfections and frailties you always made allowances for my human weaknesses.The sparkle of light in your baby blue eyes was a constant source of inspiration,and your generosity had boundless limitations.
Ti-Loup,you were my always and forever,my happily ever after,my soul-mate,my confident,my one and only,my shoulder to cry on,my heart melt,my husband,my everything.
You gave me a magnificent lifetime gift by becoming my life partner.
Until we meet again
You will forever be my always,
Your Lynney

Ti-loup,
On this your special day I remember asking you "What do you want for your birthday and you replied without hesitation"You"! That truly warmed the cockles of my heart. My flames of passion for you will never be extinguished. You were and will always remain my everlasting gift.
Thank you for having been my perfect partner.
'Til we meet again. For I will always love you.
Your Lynney

Lynne! Your ability to choose the perfect words when writing never ceases to amaze me!! Your story is Truly A Love ❤ Story! We are all blessed with the freedom you have in sharing it over the last 12 yrs! Big hugs I ❤ U 2 Pieces!!!

Maurice's sunrise:November 23rd, 1933
Ship set sail at sunset: April 15th,2005
Maurice you were definitely my favorite"Hello" and my hardest "Goodbye".
12 years have passed in a blur. At times it feels like five minutes and certain days it feels like forever,your wings were ready to fly but my heart was not a tuned.
Since our paths had crossed,by chance, for a second time and truly so unexpectedly never did I think that I would make this passage in life physically without you by my side.
I cherish the precious memories we made together.
Every birthday,anniversary,special occasion hasn't lessened the hurt.The emptiness felt without your tender love,unparalleled generosity,witty sense of humor,amazing pillow talk chats,hearty laughter,smiling heavenly blue eyes has been a difficult journey. When making our vows we both firmly agreed on"Two imperfect people definitely being able to get through all stormy weather,be a shelter for each other and never ever give up ...now this has become my permanent lifetime retrospective.You were and always will be "The best of the best".Your life was a blessing,your memory a treasure woven in solid gold.I find pieces of you in every song we shared.Moi,j'ai là haut entre les étoiles quelqu'un que je n'oulierai jamais.Je t'aime mon 'Ti-Loup"!
As the first second of eternity chimes I shall keep our Rendez-vous.
Your soulmate
Lynne

April 15th, 2016
Every year on this unforgettable date I pay an homage of love and respect to my astounding husband.It is never too redundant,stale or insignificant to speak about this one of a kind.All the words in the world would fail to describe what we shared.Maurice,you were my perfect king,you made my heart skip a beat,solely held the key to my heart,rocked my world, and made it a point to daily light up my lively hood with everything and in every way.Whenever I see beauty I wish I could still share it with you.You were my home port-sheltering me from the storms.We were two semi circles coming into one.The shadow of your radiant smile still colors all my dreams and lights the dawn.
Quand tu me manques,je mets ma main sur mon coeur et je ferme les yeux car je sais que c'est l'endroit où tu existe. Our life truly was like the key board of a piano; the white keys for the numerous happy moments and the black keys symbolizing sad moments but we always kept in mind remembering that both keys played together gave us exceptional sweet pure loving enduring music. Today my life is filled with everlasting love I am humbled,amazingly blessed and content that you are with me always.
I will forever miss your tenderness and compassion. For love is the beauty of soul which never dies and the "Gates of Memory" that never close.
Until we meet again
For I will always love you
Your Lynney

February 7th 2016
No photo frame or album in this world is big enough to fit the beautiful and blissful memories of our life together.With all it's rhythms,marrying Maurice was like dancing a slow Waltz,a peppy Salsa,a hot Tango,or enjoying and sharing Soulful Jazz.Our wedding vows were hand in hand - heart to heart into eternity. Ti-Loup was so so easy to love and truly became the wind beneath my wings.Loved you then and always will.
Your soul-mate
Lynne

A Love Of Life-A Life of Love
You're wonderful to think of but so hard to live without.You were my daily sunshine,my whispering breeze,my symphony-my entire world.Thanks for being my perfect partner.Your presence in my life made it colorful and certainly gave it a new dimension.Happy Birthday Darling!
With eternal love,
Lynne

Wow!!!! Over 10 years. My heart skips a beat for many reasons. I remember sooo many things. You were always my "other Dad". Whether we were doing good or bad, you always had a smile on your face and you always taught us lessons in life. I know you are up there with my Dad now. But, can you do me a favour and show my Dad the ropes, just in case he feels a little lost? I miss you and know that you are loved incredibly. Love and hugs, Monique

Ten years has gone by in the blink of an eye but I still miss you Much, Dad ! I am embarking on the next leg of my Life journey employed by a new company--I am excited and hopeful and anxious and wish I could share all those feelings with you in person cause you were always a great listener but I think you already know how I am feeling. I carry you with me in my heart Dad and remembering gives me comfort...loving you always,
Debbie xxoo

Dear Maurice:::: How time flies & how we all miss you ...I"ve had a very lazy day thinking of all of our family & of course "YOU & LYNNE The perfect Pair.I knew LYNNE wouldn't forget You started so well God bless you both ...LOVE ALINE & TED XOXOXOXOX

On April 15th.2005 your ship set sail and its destination took you to Heaven's Stairway.Ten years ago if I had made the schedule of departure I would have arranged for you to be at the very end of the list.You went first,just like you, to lead and prepare for my arrival. Ten years ago today I had a choice of moving on or moving forward.With your loving guidance and embracing spirit I was able to move forward.A decade has not dulled the brightness of your infectious smile,the impact of your tender words nor the recall of your comforting and passionate embraces.As long as the river of time flows on I shall keep you in mind,heart,soul and my very being. I will quote and share some of your intimate inner feelings."We were like two volumes of one book.To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.Life is eternal and love is immortal.True love sees with the heart and thinks with the soul.Two souls in love equals two hearts beating as one".You left me with a magnificent bouquet of memories sprayed with a million tears. Maurice you held my hand but for a short while but in my heart forever as from the start.Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies and we found the master key that opened the gates to happiness.
Forever loved~Forever missed
xoxo
Lynne

Life has sent me back to class to reinforce the lesson of unpredictability and living in the Now by ending that perfect job with Liberte (due to a merge with General Mills) and leaving me open to find my next "perfect for me" job. I remain ever positive and hopeful, lessons learned from you. Something positive about this break is that I have had time to do some deep cleaning at home and have come across old photo albums and cards and letters we exchanged....a wonderful walk down memory lane again ! Your encouragements act as guidance still. Thanks, Dad... love you and miss you much xxoo Debbie

Happy Birthday Ti-Loup,
By Fate,Chance,or a Higher Power destiny brought us together. When our eyes met for the first time it was an everlasting love affair, As the sun sets and the sky is coloring with stars if only I could hold your hand and whisper Thank-you for the privilege of being your wife. You touched my heart and soul.
Love you always and forever.

Well Dad, I am actually in Regina as I write this because that "perfect for me" job did come along ( Sask. sales rep for Liberte yogurt) and every time I am here I am flooded with memories of you. It's always a wonderful walk down memory lane as I pass by familiar places (like Victoria Square, our Sunday brunch place, chinese buffets you took us to and ....of course ....the MILKY WAY !) So things are better in my life this year ---I am happy but I today I feel a soft sadness that will linger as I hold those memories of you extra close !
Love you Dad and miss you,
Debbie

A token of love and remembrance of one I will never forget. Each happiness of yesterday is a memory of tomorrow. Maurice you were the symphony of my life and you will always hold the key to my heart.
As dawns another year,a silent thought,a secret tear nine years have passed since that ominous day when you,the sunshine of my universe,was taken away.
True love is like a diamond,it is rare,beautiful and lasts forever.
I thank God for the unique gift of being with you.
Maurice just as I keep loving you please keep smiling down on me for one day we will meet again, The bond of love which united us can never be severed.Those we love and lose are always connected by heart strings into infinity . Your loss is a lifetime regret.
A l'homme de ma vie qui est dans mon esprit et mon coeur pour l'eternite....
Je t'aime!
Ce n'est qu'un au revoir.
For I will always love you.

Lynne

Dad,
I choke back tears as I write this cause I still miss you so much and selfishly wish you were here to talk to this past year especially as I found myself unemployed.I know your words would have been supportive and encouraging...telling me to remain positive and believe in myself and to be patient for the right job to come along.I am doing all of this but being able to hear your voice saying the words would have been the extra boost I crave to get me through. Mike is here for a visit and we shared some "Gramps" stories and a few tears in memory. To have your advice and willing ear as he went through the trials and tribulations of his California house project would have been a godsend ! He made it through--maybe you were whispering in his ear ;) Monique misses you too as her Dad, Max has Alzheimers and is lost to her most of the time. We saw a movie together last week and cried for the loss of our Dads. Big hugs and kisses from all of us--Love you always---still missing you. XXOOXO
Debbie

My dear brother Can't believe you've been gone for nearly 8 yrs....but when i think of you I immediately get a picture of you smiling & I can hear your laughter which attracted so many people to you ..I can't understand anyone not liking you..but had you wanted you could have been a very important person in politics or head of
a huge company...Mom & dad idolized you
& realized your potential in life-far too short..I miss you & would give anything to see you one last time..Dale often says he'd sell his house so he could spend a day with you....& he's said it often...We love you & miss you but I thank you for giving my a wonderful sister in Lynne...Happy birth day & do pray for us as we need it in life yet...your loving sister Aline & Ted.who...feels the same way that I do ...

My Darling Maurice,
Tenderly and lovingly remembering your 80th Birthday.
How I wish that you were here or I was there or together we were anywhere. The reason it hurts so much to be without you is because our souls are connected.
My love for you is the beat in my heart,a lifetime promise,great and wonderful emotions,the wind beneath my wings and a souvenir once given never forgotten.
To have loved you I received the
Master Key that opened the gates of Happiness and a glimpse of Heaven.
Quand je pense a toi, je souris et mon coeur aussi;car ton Amour repand en moi le parfum des plus belles fleurs.
Je T'aime!
Falling in love with you was easy,remaining in love with you was even easier.
Sending you oceans of love for today and always.
For I will always love you.
Your
Lynnie

A page in my book of memories is tenderly turned today.I cherish the day we first met and have enamored memories of all the times we spent together.We built our marriage on love,trust,true meaning of devotion,compassion and commitment.What beautiful moments we shared.An exquisite dance amidst the storms of life.Asking for absolutely nothing in return,you always gave so generously.There's a corner in my heart you visit everyday. In somber moments there's a luminous glow.It fills me with warmth as I remember your love,
exuberant personality and sunny disposition.Memory does not allow it to fade or forget.Memories of you are endless. The years go by,the love lives on.True love is your soul's recognition of it's counterpoint in another.In thoughts and precious memories you walk alongside me with every step.I love you in a place where there is no space or time.
Until we meet again,my gentle soul mate,may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
I'll be loving you always
Yours forever.
Lynne

Happy Birthday Darling ,
Maurice you will always remain The Man of my Dreams my one and only Prince. Ti-Loup, what the heart has once known it shall never forget.On this day and forever I hold your memory very tenderly and lovingly in my heart.
Je t'aimais,je t'aime et t'aimerai pour l'eternite.
Until we meet again.
For I will always love you.
Your Lynnie

APRIL15TH,2012
Endearing memories of an exceptional man whose spirit lives on in my heart, thoughts,dreams,endeavours and decisions.
Our togetherness was extremely short lived but in spirit we are still bound by eternal love.
Love knows not its own depth until the final hour of separation.What a desolate thought that all my tomorrows have to start without you.
I miss our hopes and dreams of growing old together. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal....not even time.But I know for certain, time cannot take away the treasured moments,the precious memories, and the immeasurable passion that we shared.Your gentle touch will remain forever etched in my heart and memory.What the heart has once known it shall never forget.
Heavenly Father, thank you for sharing Maurice with me.He was the light of my life, the wind beneath my wings and the beauty of my world.
"Ceci n'est qu'un Au revoir"
For I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
Your soul-mate,
Lynnie

Gramps,
Sitting here this morning thinking of you and all the times we shared.I am at this moment listening to jambalaya,and wishing so much that i could talk to you.
There is so much I wish I could share with you, i would tell you my stories and hear you laugh, and then always you would say you loved me.
I miss you so very much Gramps I am so thankful to have had you in my life.
Miss you everyday...
Love you,
Danielle

In loving memory of Maurice who slipped beyond the bonds of this world 5 years ago.What tribute do I give you? What memoriam notice could bring you back? Sometimes its hard to give God the benefit of the doubt.

Today I am remembering a man I just simply adored for many years of my life. Looking back with absolutely no regrets.

Maurice your spirit lives on in every breeze that blows, in every drop of rain, every ray of sunshine, every flower that blooms and that twinkling star in the night sky is you my Ti-Loup winking at me and silently saying "Lynnie" we will always be together and into eternity.
For I will always love you,

Maurice you quietly came into my life and my moment was the radiance of your smile.Openly you shared yourself with me.Gently you drew me closer,always closer.Tenderly you touched a place deep within my heart. You truly believed that life had no limitations beyond those that we place ourselves.Gratefully I celebrate the beauty of each moment shared with you. The joy and love for having been with you are boundless,my sorrow for having lost you infallible.
You are,and,always will be,the Love of my life.Until we meet again,may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Ti-Loup,
Nous nous sommes quittes,mais pas abandonnes.Notre doux amour ne peut mourir,j'en suis convaincue.Je t'en fais la promesse,nous nous retrouverons un jour.L'amour,L'amitie c'est un seul esprit dans deux corps et je t'aime avec les yeux du coeur.
LIFE'S contradictions..... you're gone but yet you're with me every day.
MAURICE WAS THE EPITOME OF MY LIFE.

Love always,

Happy 75th Birthday Dad....I think about you everyday, and miss you so much.I know you are in a better place, thank-you for comming to me in my dreams...it is always nice to see you.Until we meet again...Love Corinne

To My One and Only Maurice,
Love is patient and kind..is always hopeful. Love never gives up,never loses faith. Our love was a beautiful gift.Whatever our souls were made of, yours and mine were the same.In your eyes, I say my soul-mate. In your arms,I felt secure and was at home. In our world, I'd found a love to last forever.Thank-you for your wonderful proposal of July 4th 1997. Our Love was truly made up of many splendored phases.Your life with me was much too short but the impact you made was unforgettable.There are no more tomorrows for me to share with you but yesterdays will always be there.I love you "My Ti-Loup". x0x0x0 Your Lynnie

On April 15th,2005
A heart of gold stopped beating. The soft rain that was falling were tear drops for the angels cried with me.Maurice three years have gone by without your infectious smile and the warmth and love that always spoke volumes behind your sparkling,playful,baby blue eyes.To say that a huge presence has left my life forever is to understate your personality and life force. You were my endless comfort angel who showed me that love and forgiveness were the keys to all devine things. Thank you for being such a positive influence in my life.My meeting you was like finding an oasis in the desert. I always knew when first we met that you would be a Soul-Mate I would never forget. WE CAME TO LOVE NOT BY FINDING THE PERFECT PERSON, BUT BY LEARNING TO SEE AN IMPERFECT PERSON PERFECTLY.Your eternal flame will forever be embedded in my heart. I will always miss your presence on life's daily road. My prayer is to linger with you at the end of each day.I am certain that you will continue to be the very best advocate on behalf of all your loved ones. Please guide me to your stairway so we can be together again.Love truly begins with a smile,grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. Love is something eternal,the aspect may change but not the essence. Il n'y a pas un jour sans larme et le vide que je ressent ne pourra jamais etre comble. Je puise dans ton amour et ta passion le courage d'affronter la vie. Meme au bout de la terre je continuerai mon histoire avec toi. TI-LOUP JE T'AIME x0x0x Lynne

HAPPY NEW YEAR DARLING,
From the promise of our early beginnings, Your Love had its own time, its own Seasons and its own Reason for coming into my life.

"Les yeux du coeur ne disent jamais Adieu". Maurice I truly miss and yearn for our quiet intimate talks between your soul and mine...for I will always Love You

Dear Lynne,

Our deepest sympathy. As you know, we met Maurice late in life when he moved to Montreal. In the brief time we were neighbors, we got to know Maurice with his great "joie de vivre" and love of life.

After hibernating for the winter , we would go to the sucrerie in the spring where we had a great time, food and maple sirop. He was a great man with a great heart.

After moving west we kept in touch with both of you by telephone but missed your warm and friendly personality.

May you rest in peace Maurice.

Dearest Lynne

I was so sad to hear about your loss. But it is not only your loss. It is OUR loss as well.

Maurice and you opened your home to two total strangers when we were visiting your country. Our friendship was with your sister and brother in law, Rita and Peter Premich and you did not have to invite us to stay for several days at your home. But you did and Maurice´s and yours big warm heart made our visit to Montreal a very speciel one. We will cherish our memory of the big warmhearted bear forever. And we will send many positive thoughts to you, Lynne, so you, in time, can get a little over this greatest loss of all. We love you Lynne. Big hugs from Ebba and Gun-Britt

Bonjour Lynne



Je te souhaite mes sincère sympathie et bon courage.



Tante Lily

Dear Mrs. Perillat,





My name is Max Stokvis and we have never met. My wife’s name is Leny and the same thing there. In spite of the fact, we do have a strong connection. Many years ago in the early sixties we developed a dear and close friendship with Maurice Couture and subsequently the Couture family. At this point, I am familiar with your name and position; so, let me offer you our family’s sincere condolences with the death of Maurice. What a horrible happening! And so suddenly! Granted, we heard of his cardiac surgery, but who expects an end result like that. Certainly not these days.



Although I mentioned that for many years we have been good friends with the Maurice Couture family, it was a friendship that blossomed anytime we got together. Whether we has been away a few months or a number of years, once we got together again we had a good time. And so it was supposed to go again this year. It was only last summer when we saw Debbie at the lake; we hard some details of Maurice’s existence and location. Montreal of all places. As we have a daughter, Monique, living in Montreal, my wife, Leny, and I planned a visit to Montreal this coming summer to renew acquaintances with Maurice. Maurice may have talked to you about our summer plans at that time. Sadly, this is not to be. Ironically, I have worked most of my Canadian life for AYERST Laboratories in St. Laurent.



How I wished to have known in those days that Maurice was living in Montreal. It would have been so good to see Maurice again after whatever number of years. We have been and we were good friends when we got together. We will miss that terribly, although I am a firm believer, as a catholic, that we will see Maurice again and under much happier circumstances. Here we are now close to the date of celebration of his life. We are so pleased and have been so privileged not only to have known Maurice, but also to have spent time with him, that we can treasure and reminisce for years to come. Maurice was quite the guy!



Dear Lynne, again, please accept our family’s deepest sympathy!







Max, Leny Stokvis and Children

Bonjour Lynne,

Je tenais tout particulièrement te souhaiter à toi et à la famille de Maurice mes plus sincères sympathies. Il est dommage que je n'ai pas eu la chance de le rencontrer mais je garde un excellent souvenir de lui car j'ai eu la chance de lui parler au téléphone.



Sincèrement,

Carole Audet

(Ti-Puts)

Uncle Maurice: All my memories of you evoke only thoughts and feelings of happiness and joy. You were always there for your nieces and nephews making us feel so important and loved. It is impossible to express in words how wonderful it felt to be in your presence,I am truly blessed for having had you as my uncle. I will miss you deeply. You also blessed our family with another gift in Lynne. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Maurice

We often talked of how things happen for a reason. When I reflect back over the past 2 yrs. from when Debbie first gave me yours & Lynne's phone # in Montreal & said "Call them they would love to help you out until you find a place there", right up to me writing these words, has NOT been by chance!

I truly believe that I was placed in Montreal to get to know & love both you & Lynney. Our relationship is so very special & I feel it each & every time we're together. To have been a witness to a "True Love Story" has made a believer out of me that all things are possible no matter of our age!!

And I believe that "True Love Stories don't have endings!"

I once read this Maurice & Lynne

"There are people who come & go in our lives. A few touch us in ways that change us forever, making us better from knowing them". Maurice & Lynne you have made a difference in my life & for this I am so grateful!!

Thank-you both for welcoming me into your home & your hearts. Know that I cherish you both more than any word can express!!

Maurice, I will continue to talk to you as I believe you are near, & that I have another special angel to watch over & guide me until we meet again!!! And Lynney I look forward to continuing this special relationship!

I love you both so much

Bonita

To the family,

I was very sad to learn of Maurice's passing. Time may have distanced our families, but fond memories of "Mr. Couture" are so easy to recall - from coloring contests to a toast to the Bride.



Hoping such memories give you all the strenghth you need to get through this difficult time.

Dear Lynne,

What a sad day for all of us !! Our time together was fleeting but so memorable...My entry in my diary for our day together, (June 5, 2000),read "Cocktails followed by dinner at Papillon de Szechwan with Maurice and Lynne. What a fun couple, and absolutely the MOST outstanding hospitality".

It was a long time between visits with Maurice...from July 1948 to then !!From next door neighbor in Leoville to big city Montreal !!

All our love to you Lynne, and our deepest condolences.

Dale and Daisy

Dear Lynne,



We were so saddend to learn of Maurice's passing. Our sincere symapathies go out to you and his family. There are very few people in life whom one can describe as 'special' at a first meeting, but Maurice was certainly one of them. In addition to being charming, he exuded a goodness and love that was irresistable. We will always cherish the good times we had with you and Maurice at the Saba family get-togethers.

Maurice

I got to thinking about the last time I saw you. When you and Vivian, your sister and her husband came and took me out to lunch at the Cheesecake Cafe. You slipped away from the table and after you came back the waiter arrived with a piece of cake with a candle and 'everybody' in the restaurant sang me Happy Birthday. Thank you very much old friend for doing something so special for me.

Anne Cherwoniak

Dear Vivian, Debbie,Corinne,Leanne,Carmel& families, Paul&Claire, You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. My deepest sympathy.

To my friend Lynne and the Couture family.



My Deepest Sympathy.



Lynne, I was so sadden to hear of your loss. Although I never got to meet Maurice, a thing I will now always regret after reading the guest book, I know that he was your soul mate. Just remember, that the years you had together were the best and truly the ribbons & roses to your life's bouquet, to quote you. My prayers go out to you and the wonderful family you became a part of. They will surely be a good support to you. I know that Maurice is watching over you and he will guide you. Remember, I'm just around the corner.



With Love, your friend

Maurice,



It's just a little fridge magnet that you gave me long ago. It reads "My Brother, My Friend", always a reminder of your love for me. Each time I read it, it evokes in me a deep sense of graditude to have been blessed with a caring brother who was always my best friend. I miss you, but will carry you always in my heart. Rest in peace.



As a brother-in-law, you were the best: thoughtful, kind, and always welcoming us with open arms. Add to that your contagious smile. We will miss you terribly. May God enfold you in his loving arms.



Lynne, We will alway be there for you.



Love, Paul and Claire

Chère Lynne,



C'est avec beaucoup de tristesse que j'ai appris le départ de Maurice. La vie ne t'a pas fait de cadeau jusqu'à ce qu'il vienne partager celle-çi et tu étais resplendissante de bonheur et Maurice aussi: les photos que tu m'as envoyé étaient très éloquentes. Te connaissant tu as tout mis de côté pour être constamment à l'écoute de Maurice afin de le soutenir dans cette épreuve et tu as certainement du faire des efforts incommensurables pour cacher ta peine, peur, ton désarroi. Je suis certaine que Maurice le savait et devait parfois avoir de la difficulté à composer avec la situation. Mais d'un autre côté l'amour que vous vous portiez ne pouvait que l'aider à supporter cette terrible épreuve.



Sur son grand nuage blanc il veillera avec amour sur ta personne afin que tu puisses recouvrer la santé, l'envie de vivre et de profiter de la vie comme vous le faisiez ensemble. Je suis certaine que c'est son voeux le plus cher.



Maryse t'envoie de gros bisous et si tu m'envoies ton email elle désire que je t'envoie des photos des enfants.



To all of Maurice's family and friends, accept my heartfelt sympathy for the lost this great person.



Sol

Chère Lynne,

Nous venons d'apprendre le décès de Maurice.

Nous ne l'avons jamais recontré mais nous avons l'impresssion de bien le connaître. Nous lui avons parlé a deux ou trois reprises au téléphone et nous gardons de lui un souvenir d'une chaleur et d'une grande délicatesse à l'endroit des tes amis. Toujours heureux qu'un ou une ami de Lynne lui téléphone et surtout curieux de savoir qui nous étions.

Lynne nous t'offrons nos plus sincères condoléances.

Ces quelques mots n'éffaceront pas le chagrin et la tristesse mais peut-être te réconforteront un peu.



Claire Blain et Gisèle Côté

St-Adolphe d'Howard Qc

À mon amie Lynne,

J'ai appris avec beaucoup de regret le décès de Maurice. Il est toujours pénible de perdre un être cher,mais bien plus pénible encore de perdre "un si grand Amour". Je trouve que le ciel ne t'as pas beaucoup gâtée en te l'enlevant si tôt après que tu l'eus retrouvé. J'en suis désolée et je penserai beaucoup à toi, particulièrement au cours des prochains jours, car je sais que, ce que tu auras à vivre ne sera pas facile. Mais je sais aussi combien tu es forte; tu l'as toujours été, face à la maladie et aux épreuves de la vie. Dieu doit t'aimer beaucoup, s'il est vrai qu'on châtie bien ceux qu'on aime.

Je t'envoie mes pensées d'amour et toute ma sympathie, ainsi qu'aux enfants de Maurice et à tous vos proches.

Plein d'amour aussi de la part de Jean-Paul, François et Vincent. xxx

Maurice touched our lives in many ways and we were blessed to have had him as a true friend. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. We extend sincere sympathy to each of you and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Harold & Ivy

My ancestry trails to German born "Premich's". While surfing the net, we located this site. I wanted to stop in, say a prayer on behalf of your loss, and move onward. May God bring peace to your hearts during this time of bereavement.

Dearest "BIG BRO'".....

What a huge loss the world has suffered with your departure!

You always gave so much - ALWAYS!



Some people come through life and leave un-noticed,

but NOT YOU MY FRIEND!

You're leaving "HUGE PAW PRINTS" like the "Big Teddy Bear" you are.

What a perfect name Lynne gave you "Ti-Loup" - "Little Bear"....

WITH A HEART BIGGER THAN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!



You had that infectious way about you..It was as though your heart was some kind of a magical magnet, capable of attracting everyone..

How you loved people - All People! - And they loved you back!

We mourn all those people who weren't lucky enough to have crossed your path...



We read all the precious letters in your guest book and we shed more tears, but we also burst with pride at having been the "chosen ones" who got to know you, love you, and have you in our family.



Thanks "BIG BRO'" - Thanks for always looking after and protecting your little sister. I know we had a special bond!

Peter always referred to you as his brother...That was truly special, but it was your spontaneity that allowed that natural transition from brother-in-law to brother... Thanks for allowing that to happen!!!



There is nothing we can add to all your outstanding accolades, except maybe that you were fair & non-judgemental.......What a guy!!!



So "BIG BRO'" - we send you off with a ton of love, a big piece of our heart, and the re-assurance that you will not be forgotten.

Enjoy your new found health & may you rest in peace, cradled in the arms of your MASTER...



Since it was "YOU" who gave us this nickname, we'll sign off, in the only way we know you'd approve of........

All our love always & forever - XOXOXO - "The Wildcats!"

Cher Maurice,



Ton départ nous a tous pris par surprise. Malgré ta condition médicale, nous voulions reculer l'échéance le plus loin possible. Par égoisme peut-etre, mais tu avais su te faire aimer de tous ceux qui t'ont connu.



Tu savais combien nous aimions Lynne et elle a su me faire aprécier toutes tes qualités. Je fus comblée par l'accueil d'un couple chaleureux et généreux. Merci de m'avoir permis de partager votre bonheur à travers des rencontres toujours des plus cordiales.



Mes plus chaleureuses sympathies vont à Lynne, ma grande amie. Bien que je n'aie pas eu la chance de les rencontrer, je transmets mes condoléances également à tes enfants.



Que cette nouvelle vie qui commence soit à la hauteur de ce que tu as préparé sur terre et que de la-haut tu protèges tous ceux que tu aimes toujours.

When I think of lyou Maurice, the first thing that comes to mind is your "JOIE DE VIVRE".You were in your glory surrounded by family, friends or grandkids---& your laughter spoke volumes. Your generosity--be it material, intellectual input or in the form of advice---knew no bounds...Your empathetic nature drew people to you & you reciprocated in whatever

capacity demanded of you.

Attending your wedding in Vegas

was magical reflecting your inner dreams. When Lynne was asked if she'd been lucky--meaning "at the slots" she quickly replied "I'm going home with the best prize pointing at the beaming Maurice. You had both discovered the greatest joy on earth "TO LOVE & BE

LOVED"

Thank you Maurice for getting us addicted to "pickled garlic" & ice-

cream parlor crawls.But most of all thank you for the way both of you made us feel so welcome to your home.Perfect host& hostess.

We have loved you in life & we will continue to to care deeply in spirit until we meet again.

Your loving sister, Aline, Ted & Val Kyllo XOXOX)

Cher Maurice,



Quel ami precieux et genereux que ce cher Maurice. Nous avons été tres attristees par ton depart.



Tu aimais la vie, mais pas à n'importe quel prix. Vaillamment tu as combattu, et la maladie a eu le dessus. Courageusement les tiens doivent accepter cette réalité de la vie qui ne souffre aucune exception.



Hélène avait rapidement décelé que tu étais très accessible à tous, peu importe leur condition. Tes taquineries, les fou-rires lui manqueront. Sois assuré qu'elle gardera tous ces bons moments en mémoire longtemps.



Ta "petite" Dorothee que tu choyais bien par ta compréhension, et qui te le rendait bien, tu lui manqueras grandement. Elle avait trouvé en toi le conjoint ideal pour sa grande amie Lynne.



Repose en paix, cher ami de

Cher Maurice, nous t'avons rencontre la 1ere fois un 23 novembre, date de ton anniversaire qui était également celui de Claude.



Depuis, chaque rencontre nous a permis d'apprecier ta grande generosite, ton sens de l'humour et ta joie de vivre. Tu resteras dans notre memoire comme le grand «Ti-Loup» de notre amie Lynne.



Maintenant que ton voyage sur terre a servi a distribuer du bonheur tout autour de toi, repose en paix.

Mission accomplie! Tes amis qui te gardent dans leurs prières.

Cher Maurice,

Nous avons, Guy et moi, été privilégiés de te connaître. C'était toujours un grand plaisir lorsque nous nous rencontrions de retrouver un ami plein d'attentions, de compassion dans les situations difficiles, un ami qui savait aussi nous faire rire. On a vraiment passé de très bons et joyeux moments en ta compagnie. Notre seul regret est que cette amitié fut beaucoup trop brève. Nous nous consolons sachant que la vie nous a prêté pour un temps aussi court fut-il, la présence d'un ami VRAI. Nous partageons avec Lynne son immense chagrin tout en souhaitant, cher Maurice, que tu auras la plus merveilleuse des Éternités.

Danielle Delorme et Guy Metcalfe

We were glad to know Maurice. His love towards family and friends. His infectious laugh and wit. We know he'll be deeply missed.Our thoughts are with you. Love Ernie & Raymonde

I love you Uncle Maurice, I wish I had the chance to say it earlier.Life throws us some curves sometimes and I like to think that you understood. To all the family, my heart is with you, I think of you often. Lynne....he will always be with you!

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time of sorrow.May your dad's memories always be with you and have a special place in your hearts. Love Len, Karen, Tara and Kyle Hrycuik

Uncle Maurice,

Im so lucky to have been able to spend time with you, our trips to Mesa and Las Vegas, sitting on the patio in the evening having a beer (and clamato juice), laughing about what we did that day. They were highlights of my life! To see you interact, anybody could see you were a sincere, genuine person with a heart that was open to all. Unselfish and always fun to be around, i'll miss u deeply.

You are right Lynne, to know Maurice was a gift in itself

Love always,

Dale Maurice Kyllo

Our deepest sympathy goes out to all.

Maurice gave us am unforgettable lesson on how

to live life to it's fullest.

Love everyone unconditionally.

Recognize the beauty in all that we see.

Face our challenges head on.

Surround ourselves with laughter and humor.

Thanks for being an important part of our

lives.

Until we meet again.

Love,

Denis and Yvonne Frenette

A Lynne et toute la famille de M. Maurice Couture.

Nous vous offrons toutes nos condoléances. Nous avons eu la chance de cotoyer Maurice et de le connaître. Il était un homme plein d'amour. Sa joie de vivre et son sourire était contagieux et nous enveloppaient. Maurice, tu es dans notre coeur et ton exemple nous suivra pour toujours.

My sincere sympathies go out to all the members of Maurice's family and especially to my very close friend Lynne Perillat-Couture.

Lynne, you were extraordinarily blessed with Maurice, as he was with you. Well into your middle years, you met and began a loving, respectful relationship which culminated in marriage. I was so happy for both of you.

Maurice had such a love of life and truly seemed to appreciate all the people he came in contact with. I will always remember his smiling face and his laughing eyes as he asked me about Morgan and The Girls and...... when were we coming to visit.....?

Sadly, we didn't get to visit too much in Montreal, however, our "Board Meetings" in Hudson will remain very fond memories of the times we did all get together.

Maurice, you will be greatly missed but I know you are now out of pain and have gone on to a better place, where you will be happy, contentd and healthy.

My heart goes out to you Lynne.

You have my deepest sympathies!



Leslie

Maurice was an exceptional man who embodied all of the qualities that made him a very special human being in the eyes of all who knew him. Gentleness and kindness were as basic to his personality as his warm and winning smile. His unique gift for making each person he spoke with feel special and appreciated was beyond compare. It was indeed a great privilege to have known him and we share many precious memories of happy times we spent in our homes with Maurice and Lynne.



May he rest in peace and may his memory be eternal.



With loving thoughts,



Connie, Terry, Patty, and April

Our heartfelt condolences to our dear friend Lynne and to the Couture's family.



We had the privilege to meet Maurice after he and Lynne reconnected under a full moon night on May the 22nd. Of course we wanted to meet this incredible man who swept our grounded friend off her feet, so in August 1998 we, and the third musketeer of our team, flew in Saskatoon to deliver our seal of approval. Well it was friendship at first sight! It did not take us long to conclude that Maurice was a real, sincere, true, genuine gentle man and a gentleman. It was also no contest that our Lynne and Maurice were deeply in love with each other and that they had started their journey together as a whole. In the following years we had the opportunity to travel with them, visit them and enjoy their loving company and most importantly witness their love and respect for each other. So Lynne, we know you lost half your heart but we also are certain that Maurice is diligently watching over you and will guide you safely through life.



We will miss your full of spirit and warm animated company Maurice and we wish you a well deserved rest in God's hotel!!!



Your friends,

Skip and Jojo

To Debbie and all the family,



Our Deepest Sympathy.



Our thoughts and prayers are with

you.

Please let me start by first passing on my condolences to the whole family................I was so very sorry to hear.



Maurice..........I know you are listening.......I too can feel your presence as many others have stated.......



I can remember perfectly the day I met you. In fact, I even remember what you wore. More amazingly, are the feelings I experienced while shaking your hand in a split second - SINCERITY, HONOR, INTEGRITY, and HUMOUR to mention but a few of your outstanding attributes........I was right. And, I say this because you demonstrated each to me in the short time we spent together. Very few people impact me the way you do (not did), because you're still with me....always. I often find myself wondering, "what would Maurice do"? And, usually the right answer comes to mind. Usually, it makes me smile!! Throughout the years, whether in person and/or via phone you provided me with guidance, strength, hope, and support............that will continue my friend....you add to my toolbox of life each and every day....you make me a better person simply by you being you.....I have tried to adopt many of the values that you have instilled in so many people.......



Although we are going to have a small time-out here until we can visit again soon, take care my FRIEND!!!!! Any stock tips would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!



Love and Happiness, Maurice!!! See you soon..............Deano.

Dad, I can't believe it's been over a week already...I've been composing this in my head since Gerry called and told us you were gone. My trouble, as always, is how to keep it brief. So forgive me because I still have lots to say...



Thanks for all the times you have listened and offered guidance in my teen years, for not letting me take the easy road and quit (like being president of the SRC or writing that firefighters essay), for challenging me and believing in me. For standing behind me in my early years as a young mother and wife and university student- for being part of the best babysitting team so often, for teaching me to waterski (??) at Candle Lake, for the memorable "Father's Day boat trip", for the laughter and the tears. For the trips to the casino for a father/daughter Blackjack day, for loving my friends as your own, for the advice, for all the visits to Montreal (especially the one last summer with Leigh Ann- IT WAS THE BEST!). For Lynne, and all the happiness she brought to your life...and thanks for our conversation last Thursday- for not rushing me and letting me say some things I needed to say and for asking "How are things in your world Deb?"



BUT---putting all that you meant to me aside- most importantly- you were the best grandpa my kids could ever have. You were the best storyteller- every story had a character easily recognizable as one of them. They knew those stories always lasted awhile pushing bed time back indefinitely! You were so patient and understanding with them. Thanks for the racetrack visits, trips to the Milky Way, slingshot lessons, Dim Sum experiences, laughter, games of crib (with your special "pip-teen" counting lingo), Thanks for making and then being the first to break all the Bubbles and Schnaupse and Peaches "dogs in house" rules. Thanks for loving those mutts so much. Thanks for the motorhome trips and picnics and trips to Edwards, the Sunday brunches and midnight snacks and cheers from the sidelines at Soccer, Hockey, Ringette, Baseball games etc. The list goes on...



The void you leave in their lives saddens me the most. However, you leave behind a legacy of passion, memories of a life lived to the fullest. That is your final gift to us all. Your memory will live forever in my heart Dad.

Love, Debbie



P.S. Peach is missing you too. She wanders around looking for someone to sit on or curl up beside. She is looking for the comfort of Gramp's lap and extra treats that made their way onto the floor when Gramps was around...

Oh, and probably a belly scrub too.

Hi,

Although I haven't seen you since I was a little girl at Grandma Doucette's (your aunt Rosemarie) I still remember you as such a nice guy, and of course mom, Mary Caffet(nee Doucette) spoke of you often. I just wanted to offer my heartfelt condolences to your wife and children and wish we could have all met, also to Paul, Aline and Rita.

Love Jeannette Tetlock (nee Caffet)

Our deepest sympathy to the Couture family. Although we met Maurice, we never had the opportunity to get to know him, but have had the good fortune of getting to know his children and grandchildren. Our lives have been made complete by the incredible "gifts of love" we have received from the Couture family. We will forever be grateful!

Thinking of you during this difficult time,

Darrell, Ruth, Joshua and Kayci

A tribute to my soul-mate,Ti-Loup, my universe, my life.

Words cannot truly describe this gentle, kind,

compassionate, giant of a man!



His sense of humour - MEMORABLE!

His way of being - AUTHENTIC!

His integrity - GENUINE!

His courage - IMMEASURABLE!

His experience - INSPIRING!

His love - UNCONDITIONAL!



Being with Maurice everyday was a gift.

He was my pillar of strength,

my shining light, AND

my greatest friend......



His "HEART OF GOLD" was his greatest attribute and

he had a special & unique designated corner, for each &

everyone of us, which he visited frequently, freely, & so lovingly.



The meaning of "LOVE" to Maurice, was putting beauty in everyday things - the warmth in our home, the joy in a memory, and

the "WE" in a dream.....



MON TI-LOUP, ton amour repand

dans mon coeur le parfum des

plus belles fleurs... Je t'aime!!!



Ce n'est qu'un "Au Revoir!"



It was wonderful having someone as precious as you

who added ribbons & roses to my life's bouquet.



Thanks for the memories...

Look upon me & guide me safely through life...



You "ARE" the wind beneath my wings!



You fought such a valiant battle, you deserve this eternal rest!

All my love....XO - Lynne...

Sorry to hear that Maurice passed away.My sympathy&prayers go out to all the family.

I too grew up in Leoville but I first met Maurice in Saskatoon.My first and only impression of him was that he was a sincere person.He carried the message of integrity to others very well.He walked the talk.

Paul Lavallee.

Dear Debbie & Family: I am so sorry to hear about the death of your Father. I know you were close to him. My thoughts are with all of you.



Sincerely, Dianna Cook, Sean, Jackie, and Nick

I will miss your beautiful smile and wonderful personality.It was great knowing you and your family when I was young in Leoville. Mom, Therese Polard,

also sends her condolences.
