To the Desilets Family...I am with you and her in spirit on this day. I am sorry for the loss of your mother Bernice. I loved her dearly, she was like a mother to me. I feel blessed to have had her in my life. She was a wonderful role model, and friend. Independent, strong and full of zest.

So sorry for your loss...we all grew up together and have fond memories of Mrs. Desilets sending us home with her home-made root beer. And more times than not, we saw our dog Shep sleeping on your front porch rocking chair. Peace be with you at this sad time.
