En 1957 j'ai commencé l'école à l'École Marion. Mme Toupin fut ma première institutrice et elle me donna le goût d'apprendre. Je ne l'oublierai jamais. Ma première expérience scolaire fut merveilleuse grâce à elle. Je saignais souvent du nez et elle a pris soin de moi plus qu'une fois cette année-là. Merci Madame...Ginette Fournier - Posted by: Ginette Fournier Richer (ancienne élève ) on: Sep 20, 2014

Condolences to the family. I always recall those wonderful Christmas eve dinners, the marvelous food, the family banter (pretty loud at times), and mom taking charge of the place. She had her way... and it was a good way. When I talked to her, I felt like I was a part of the family.. a great loss... - Posted by: Adriano Magnifico (family friend) on: Sep 18, 2014

Mme Toupin a par sa grande générosité influencée positivement la vie de plusieurs personnes dont entre autre celle de ma famille (Dolorès, Jérôme et Patrice) en nous hébergeant chez elles et nous fournissant un noyau familial au Manitoba. Mes sympathies à tous les membres de la famille en ces moments difficiles. Patrice Deschênes - Posted by: Patrice Deschênes (Ami de longue date de la famille) on: Sep 16, 2014

I have fond memories of going over to visit Claudette and feeling so welcome, I was only 6 years old. I also wished I had Mme Toupin as my teacher but was not lucky enough to have her. Everyone wanted to be in her class. The last time I saw her was Residence Despins, my Mother-in-law was moving in, I had such a nice conversation with her. She told me how much she loved to teach and how much the children meant to her. We also talked about Claudette and her family. Gilbert and I are on holidays and are unable to attend the funeral mass, but would like to express our deepest sympathy to all the family. - Posted by: Lorraine Landry Cloutier (Friend) on: Sep 15, 2014
