Dear nieces,
We have lost a great mother and sister and I still can't believe she has gone so fast. I am glad I went to see her in October and I still feel the hug she gave me as if she knew what was coming in the future. We have to be grateful that this awful disease didn't last for months and months on end. Your oncle Marcel and I want to offer you our deepest condolences. We will see you in May.

C'est avec regret que je viens offrir mes plus sincères condoléances à mes chères nièces que j'aime beaucoup. Madeleine était ma grande soeur cadette avec qui j'ai grandi sur la ferme dans toutes les tâches à la culture agricole. Mon plus joyeux souvenir est d'avoir viré une brosse au vin 4-AS de notre père alors que nous n'avions que 4 et 5 ans, c'était notre meilleur party.
