AURORE MERCIER (PREFONTAINE)

Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

• Mama Mercier was my Foster Mother in 1982/83. The time I spent with her and Va-Va and the rest of the family have left me with Treasured Memories. Time spent up at the cabin. Mama giving me my First wristwatch for my birthday. Mama taught me how to make jam. Mama taught me so many countless Valuable Life Lessons that I carry with me to this very day. The world is Truly a Better place for having had Mama Mercier in it for the past 89 years. Rest in Paradise now Mama. I Love You like I have Loved No Other. - Posted by: Amber Hayes (nee Hendrickson) (Foster child) on: Jan 15, 2013

• Dear grandma, I have so many amazing memories of you and you were such a big part of my life, I miss you terribly already. I hope heaven is everything you imagined it to be and you, your husband, and my beautiful sister Elva are all together now. I'm sorry me and Melaine have not been home in a very long time but you were always in my heart, my thoughts, and prayers. You took care of all of my family so well and you made us better people because of your love. I was so looking forward to bring my daughter to meet you in a few months and I'm so sorry I don't have that chance now. Grandma, I want to say a million things to you but most of all would be I LOVE YOU!!! Please be with my dad now because his heart is broken without you!!! I'm sorry I can't be there tomorrow to say goodbye, but grandma, I love you, I love you, I love you. Love Michelle Mercier. - Posted by: Michelle Mercier (Granddaughter) on: Dec 27, 2012

• I first met Ma in 1969 thrOUGH Jackie who became my sister-in-law, when she married Bill. Ma was always there with advice and offering to help in any way. We would go out to her cabin and have so much fun there. She opened her heart and her home to many in my family and I admired her for that. When she opened her Foster Home you really saw the love she had for all those kids. She never judged any of us for the mistakes we made, instead showing us the love and giving some really good advice. She was such aN awesome lady and will be missed by all of us who had the opportunity to have met her..RIP Ma - Posted by: Marlene Kryschuk (Friend) on: Dec 27, 2012

• My condolences to the family. My Aunt Aurore was the strongest woman I have known, she taught me to be strong, and stand up for myself. She was the care giver of ALL children, always there for the kids, you knew she was always there for you. I enjoyed so many summers at her cottage, I loved spending time with her there so much and Christmas Holidays at her home or her at ours. There was always lots of food, fun, laughs, and hugs to go around when together. I love her dearly, for all the care she gave my siblings and I. She was a loving Aunt to us. Remembering all the good times we did share. Aunt Aurore will be dearly missed. She nick named me (Me too) because I would apparently say that when I felt I was being left out, when she would ask my siblings something. May you Rest in Peace Aunty. Remembering you always with love. Kelley - Posted by: Kelley Prefontaine Kowalski (Aunt) on: Dec 26, 2012
