To the family our sincerest sympathies. We have just found out today that Auntie has passed away. What a shock for everyone. She had called us from Arizona even planning that we should join her for her next visit so that we could get to know you. This is so sad, auntie was always there for me and our family when dad (Leo) was ill and at his passing. In fact she was always there for all her siblings. Had we known we would have made every effort to be there for the funeral. Sorry I guess some of the family here didn't connect with everyone to advise. Sending our love and sadness for her loss. Love from Terry & Aime - Posted by: Terry (Therese) & Aime Lehouillier (Niece (Comeau)) on: Feb 28, 2013

Céline! Je vous ai connu moins d'un an, mais j'ai developpé une grande amitié pour vous. J'aimais chanter avec vous des chansons du terroir - chansons de notre jeunesse. Que Dieu vous accorde une paix éternelle. Basile. - Posted by: Basil Rotoff (Ami et voisin de Sterling House.) on: Feb 07, 2013
