CLAUDE ANTOINE JOSEPH VIEN It is with broken hearts and great sorrow that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of our dear son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend, Claude Antoine Vien, on September 27, 2007 at the age of 42. Claude leaves to mourn his parents, Emilien and Lucille Vien; brothers, Gerald (Brenda), Rene (Laurie), Roger (Evelyne), Richard (Renee) and sisters, Jacqueline (Brian), Louise (Eugene), Evelyn (Jacques), aunts, uncles, numerous nieces nephews, cousins, friends and of course his beloved cat, Reggie. Claude resided in Lorette, Manitoba and was employed with the Real Canadian Superstore's meat department for the last 25 years and made many life long friends. Claude enjoyed summer weekends at the cabin in St. Malo with family and friends and with many nights around the fire, singing our old country tunes. Claude was young at heart, caring and an easy going person and saw the good in everyone he met; he lived each day to its fullest. Claude is predeceased by his grandmother, Antoinette Young in September 2002 and his best friend and cherished dog, Nikita. Prayers will be said at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, October 1, 2007 at St. Timothy's Parish, 135 John Forsythe. Memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 2, 2007 also at the Parish. Interment will follow in Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Claude's memory to the Winnipeg Humane Society. We would like to express our deepest thanks to the Tache Fire Department, who were with Claude in his final moments and the St. Boniface Hospital's Doctors and Nurses. Family and friends are invited to sign the Book of Condolences at www.glenlawn.ca My Youngest Son, My Little Brother, My Understanding Uncle, My Close Friend, your life here on this earth was short but your memory will be forever in our hearts, your smile will never fade, and your laughter will never be forgotten.
