My sincere condolences to Carol, Denis and their family. Your Mom, mimi, loved you unconditionally. May you find comfort in the memories that you shared. Bon courage. I had the good fortune of getting to know Yvette. A wonderful woman who was always glad to see me. We shared stories and laughed at a good many of them. Yvette had a great talent of making me feel special. Even when she was in pain she managed a big smile and a word of encouragement. Merci Yvette, you taught me so much in the short time that I knew you. I miss you. Until we meet again...Adieu mon amie. - Posted by: Jeanne Boily (Amie) on: Sep 19, 2017
