Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

  • So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a sweet and loving lady with an amazing memory of long ago events. Your mother is a huge part of my childhood memories on Hebert St. and I`ll cherish them forever. We were away at the time but I do wish I could have attended the service to give you all each a hug. With having lost my own Mother almost 13 years ago, I know the pain of the loss never really goes away. My thoughts are with you as you go through this very difficult time. She will never be forgotten. - Posted by: Simone Rasmussen (Burnell-Grenier) (cousin) on: Apr 17, 2016
