To all of Noreen's family. I was so sorry to hear of Noreen's passing. We just saw her at the Sion reunion in September. I am heartbroken for her family and friends. The Provost family was a huge part of our lives. She has many angels to greet her.
Sending my deepest sympathies to all. Much love Birdie Kitella (on behalf of the Darbellay sisters)

Dear Erin, BJ, Gerard, Linette, Maynard and A.J.
Many, many years ago, your Mom told me that her intention was to become a nun. However, when she realized that this would mean that her parents would have no grandchildren, she changed her plans. Somehow Gary came into the picture. And he certainly did his part!
Back in the days when your Mom was working full time at home, Christmas would be approaching. She was able to pick up a couple of temporary jobs and work 24 hours a day! She had her goals: one year I believe Maynard was out west and she wanted to get him a watch for Christmas. When I would ask how things were going, she would always enthusiastically reply with a huge smile on her face. Years ago my hubby and I were volunteering with the kids at Assumption. Come Christmas Eve, Louie would be working with the kids to sing during the Mass, while I would be responsible for the manger scene: yes, we are talking about real, live kids here. One year I found myself short a couple of kids. No problem. One phone call and there were Erin and BJ all ready to play their parts: no training required! At Assumption the church was always beautifully decorated for Christmas: Noreen and Erin - what a combination! To date I have never met anyone so enthusiastic about fasting during Lent. I am sure your mother found it exhilarating. When I would ask Noreen how the family was doing, I never got a : Fine, thank you. It was always great! Her face would light up and Noreen would begin detailing what each of you were up to. From what I recall, there was never a dull moment, no matter what part of the world you were in. One summer vacation, many years ago, driving out west, the decision was made to go the long way since the route would go all the way through Canada. Many hours later they encountered a major problem: the road was closed because of some sort of bridge problem, I believe. This resulted in an increase of many hours of travel time since they had to return and then take the route through the US. Only someone like Noreen could talk about this as an adventure! To Noreen it was like every day on this planet was a blessing.
And, undoubtedly, you were all a blessing to her.

Dear Gary and family and my cousins, deepest sympathies on Noreen's passing. I remember Noreen teaching my how to sink a basketball at St. Mary's hall, helping her serve early breakfast at retreats and her smile! Alec and I were very fortunate to visit Noreen and Gary last fall in Edmonton. She had great faith and had no fear of death...heaven is better with Noreen there! She will be missed by all. Cousin Cathy and Alec Hamel (Leduc, Alberta)

To the Plant and extended families ....my deepest condolences to you all. My heart literally dropped as I learned of Noreen's passing. I've known Noreen for most of my 27 years at Canada Post. She had a such huge heart and gentle soul, and was a great pleasure to work with. She was a very proud mother and grandmother, as she often spoke of her family with great pride. Noreen will be greatly missed at Canada Post by all who knew her.

Dear Gary and family, and Noreen's siblings,
My condolences to you all. It was wonderful to see Noreen at the Sion reunion last September and to see how brave she was. My sympathy to her siblings, who were "kids" at Feehan when I was librarian there. And to Gary, a colleague and guest guitarist for The Sands of Time. Noreen was a wonderful person and a woman of faith. May she rest in peace.
