Your Mom's love for life will be missed. Always wanting to be in the middle of the soccer game or hike on our camping trips, always ready with a chuckle and smile. She was a free spirit. May you all find comfort in your memories of her.

"Grammie Claudie" will always be fondly remembered for her wit and humour, as well as her no nonsense, get to it approach about things. I love sharing with Matix and Zoie, the time she and I helped move them to Maine. Two weeks of packing and lots of fun! We have enjoyed many family moments together and we will miss her. Rest in peace Claudie,
Lona and Bob
