Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

• Marcel and family. I just learned of your loss of Yvette. I am so sorry to learn of this sad news for you. That is a beautiful picture of Yvette. I still remember Yvette, all those years ago, as a most beautiful girl, always so warm and friendly, and a most lovely smile and laugh. I admired her as I watched her float through your house so graciously and quietly, as it seemed to me. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I believe she remains for always an inspiration to you and to all of your family. Je suis désolée. Que les doux souvenirs de Yvette que vous garderez pour toujours dans vos cœurs, sachent vous réconforter. Mes plus sincères condoléances....

• Joel - my condolences. I saw the name in the obituaries and wondered if this was a relative of yours. I remember your superior French in high school and wondered where the French came from a name like Zemcak. Now I see. I also see the family resemblance from the photo of your beautiful mother. I always remember an excellent speech you gave in high school speech class despite the fact that you did not revel in public speaking. I suspect you had great support and assistance from your teaching mother. Take care at this time, - Posted by: Joe Langan (Class mate of Joel) on: May 31, 2020

• Our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Joel and Eric. And Yvette's brothers, Maurice and Marcel. Yvette and I were born 3 months apart. We did so many things together as we were 1st cousins. What I liked about Yvette was her calmness. She knew how to keep our attention, while she would tell us about an event which had happened. Many childhood memories, too numerous to name, but also wonderful memories with her and Josef. We were blessed to have shared some vacation time with both of them and Joel and Eric. To name a few 2 weeks at Matlock in 1988. The kids would go to the lake every morning. We had weiner roasts down at the lake at night. Another event our trip to Kenora one Sunday. We went on the MS Kenora with our children, Yvette's father was also with us. We wanted them to experience a ride on a boat, and look at the beautiful scenery. We enjoyed the buffet and the ride. On our return trip we stopped at Minaki Lodge for sightseeing. Well that trip was quite unforgettable as the next day, we all suffered of food poisoning, except Josef and grandpa. They did not eat the potato salad. It was also pleasant when Yvette joined us at the St. Claude Fall Supper, as well as the one in St. Joseph. She was easygoing. She will leave an emptiness in our lives, but we have a life time of memories in our hearts. You left to early Yvette, may you Rest in Peace. Love you Yvette.

• Nos plus sincères condoléances Eric et Joël . Nous avons rencontré votre mère après la retraite et avons eu de nombreuses soirées de jasette et jeux de mah-jong. Yvette nous racontait de petites histoires à votre sujet - remplies d'amour et de fierté. Ce sont ces moments qu'on garde près du coeur. Sincères condoléances aussi à Maurice et Marcel. Yvette passait des vacances précieuses auprès de vous et vos familles. - Posted by: Diane et Léo Fontaine (ami.e) on: May 30, 2020

• Je suis sous le choc et profondément attristée du départ précipité de mon amie de toujours, Yvette. De l'Académie St-Joseph, de l'université, de nos débuts d'enseignantes, de nos premiers voyages, à nos retrouvailles au cours de nos vies, Yvette était toujours cette fille charmante, douce, joviale et généreuse qui faisait qu'à chaque rencontre c'était comme si on s'était vu la veille. Je me sens privilégiée d'avoir eu le plaisir de bavarder longuement avec elle la semaine avant son grand départ. Tu me manqueras Yvette. Mes sincères condoléances à vous, Joël et sa famille et à Éric, ses garçons chéris que j'ai connus surtout de noms et de photos, à Maurice et Marcel, ses frères bien-aimés, à Irène sa cousine, et à toutes vos familles. - Posted by: Denise Gauthier (Amie) on: May 30, 2020

• Chers Joël, Éric et famille, C’est avec grande tristesse que j’ai appris le décès de Yvette. Je suis de coeur avec vous durant ces moments difficiles. Je souhaite que le vide affreux occasionné par son départ sera soulagé par les bons souvenirs et les bons temps vécus avec elle; qu’ils vous apportent paix, réconfort et consolation. J’ai eu le privilège de l’avoir connue, au fil de nombreuses années, comme camarade étudiante, comme collègue de travail, et comme amie; une amie à la voix douce, généreuse, toujours affable, bienveillante et gracieuse. Son amitié me manquera énormément. Nos cafés et lunchs ne seront plus les mêmes. Yvette vivra toujours dans mes pensées et dans mon coeur. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal”. Je vous offre mes sincères condoléances.

• My deepest, heartfelt sympathy Joel and Éric. I met your dear Mom at a Celiac Association meeting, and from there built a connection. We were the only two who spoke French, and we both got the Celiac Disease after having our newborn sons, both named Éric. Both Érics were in the same class at Lacerte until mid-grade one, until we moved out to the country. My Éric remembers you. We loved sharing our recipes and what worked and didn't work for each of us. Later, we found out we shared the same friend! Monique. She was a wonderful woman and I am blessed I got to know her. - Posted by: Gaby Musick (Friend) on: May 30, 2020
