I visited the St. NORBERT CEMETERY recently. That's how I found out that your Mom had passed away. She was a wonderful lady and I cherished the time I stayed with your family when I taught in St. Norbert. My late but sincere condolences to all the family. - Posted by: doreen dion (friend) on: Sep 30, 2014

Mrs Cloutier was a very nice person. When I first met her at her place with Jamie she was so kind and generous to me. I really felt comfortable around her and her jokes that she told me and everybody else at Christmas time. I had many good memories of her when we went to Winnipeg to visit her with the boys. I am sad to say goodbye to such a lovely woman who had a heart of gold. My condolence to Jamie, Garett and her aunts. My thoughts and prayers to you all. She is now in a good place with God and also with her husband and also Gisele (Mom) her daughter. May all of you find peace that your grandmother is in a better place and is not suffering. I love her lots. She is a very special grandmother. - Posted by: Barry Yee ((friend)) on: Jan 05, 2014

I am sad to say goodbye to the best grandmother that anyone could have had. I have so many great memories of the times I stayed at her house in St. Norbert. I stayed with her for weeks at a time when I attended camps in the summer. She was always interested in what I was doing and I was totally spoiled when I stayed with her. I can't imagine a better, more loving grandmother. - Posted by: Jamie Thiessen Yee (Granddaughter) on: Jan 04, 2014
