• Nos plus sinceres sympathies a toute la famille de Monique. Monique a toujours ete une charmante et sympathique personne avec qui et pour qui nous avons eu l'occasion de travailler soit a travers des elections federales ou Stats Canada.

• Your mom was such a fun-loving, kind-hearted, unselfish lady. When I had to move to St Pierre for schooling in grade 8, she was the first person to come up to me and make me feel welcome. We became good friends and our parents lost a few sleepless nights because of our friendship. Know that you girls were her everything, she was so proud of you. We will miss her. Rest in peace my friend. And no cheating at cards is allowed up there. - Posted by: Monique (Alarie) & Denis Lafond (Friend) on: Nov 06, 2014

• Monique was one of those rare and precious individuals; caring, loving, fun to be with, possessed a unique sense of humour, a dedicated, loyal, hard working employee, a good friend, but above all, she was first and foremost a mother and grandmother. When Monique was diagnosed, I asked her how she was doing and her response speaks volumes about the kind of person she was, "well, I am dying and there is nothing I can do about that, I don't feel bad about it, what I feel bad about is leaving my girls and my babies behind." Vintage Monique, always thinking of others and facing down death with grit, determination and no self pity. I had the privilege of working with Monique for eleven years; she taught me much, was willing to share her experience and knowledge; we had more fun 'than a barrel of monkeys' and that is for sure! We spent many an hour talking and laughing about things that happened on the job. I will miss her voice, her laugh and her earthly presence; the world is a lesser place without her. God's speed my dear friend. For Monique, her girls and her babies: Where go the Boats? By Robert Louis Stevenson Dark brown is the river, Golden is the sand, It flows along forever, With trees on either hand. Green leaves a-floating, Castles on the foam, Boats of mine a-boating- Where will all come home? On goes the river And out past the mill, Away down the valley, Away down the hill. Away down the river, A hundred miles or more; Other little children Shall bring my boats ashore With love, Carol - Posted by: Carol Irving (Friend, co-worker) on: Nov 05, 2014

• My deepest sympathies to all of you. I always enjoyed talking to Monique when I saw her around town. Jack and Monique were a big part of my brother Shmuller's life. I remember when they used to come to the farm when they got married. She is at peace. - Posted by: Carole Beaudry Roger Perreault (friend of Jack and Monique) on: Nov 05, 2014
