Isabelle I guess it's time to pass on my guardian angel wings to someone else. You always welcomed me for just that quick visit or that moment to chat and laugh on your driveway. You will be missed. - Posted by: Janet Wonnick (Sabourin) (neighbor) on: Feb 06, 2015

Miss you memere. You always told me I was a nice girl. I will never forget the one story you always told me. One time, you babysat me when I was a baby, and you stepped outside into the garage for a minute only to find yourself locked out. You were so worried about leaving me alone in the house, but when someone finally came home to let you in, you said I was just standing in my crib as calm and happy as could be because I was such a nice baby. You always had so many stories from life and travel. We love you and miss you very much. Boulettes will always be one of my favourite foods because of you. We will never forget the kitchen in your basement where you served us many many meals. Lots of happy memories because of you. Je t'aime beaucoup, pour toujours. - Posted by: Chantel Barnabe (Granddaughter ) on: Feb 05, 2015

Our deepest condolences to all of you and your families. Your Mom was an amazing and remarkable woman; extremely kind, friendly, generous, and very comical. We will always treasure our most recent visit with her in early November. Although she was already very frail, she still had her lovely sense of humour. To us, she was always considered an aunt and she will always be remembered as such. Hold on to all the wonderful memories. Surely there are many of them! God bless you all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. With sympathy, Jocelyne and Eddy Jaremowich - Posted by: Jocelyne and Eddy Jaremowich (cousin) on: Feb 05, 2015
