Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • Mrs. Bohemier was my grade 4 teacher at George V School in 1968-69. She was a wonderful teacher, instilling knowledge and encouraging her students. I have always remembered her with fondness and admiration, and as one of my favourite teachers. - Posted by: Pamela Heinrichs (nee Poitras) (former student) on: May 18, 2017

  • Dear Yvonne and Marie, my sincerest condolences to you both on the loss of your dear mother. What great memories of Rita I have cherished within me over the years, I certainly remember her daily devotion to the mass which she participated in and often read the passages during the noon time mass at the little Chapel on Edmonton Street. I often saw her years back catching the bus to go the Chapel to do volunteer work and every time we saw each other, she always had her very special smile. Her eyes would light up and we always shared moments. She lived a long and fruitful life. SIncerely, Claudette Veinotte (Bohemier) - Posted by: claudette veinotte () on: May 13, 2017
