I just found out of the passing of "ma tante toutounes". I remember her playing the piano at "Pepere" on New Year's Eves for many years. She was always a very jovial person. Our deepest sympathy to all your family. Claudette Sabourin & David Zilli. - Posted by: claudette sabourin-zilli (niece) on: Jan 08, 2015

Ma tante toutoune. I don`t know how your mom got her nickname but it was the first name I recall hearing before eventually knowing her official name; It gave me the impression of a joyous personality. Although I`ve not had many visits with your mom it was always a pleasurable experience conversing with her. Condoléances a vous Lynne, Robert et toutes la famille. - Posted by: Gerald Sabourin (Neveu) on: Jan 08, 2015

Nos plus sincères condoléances chers Lynne et Robert. Quand nous pensons à matante Toutoune nous entendons les douces notes du piano qu'elle honorait avec tellement d'amour, surtout aux réveillons de Noël ou du Jour de l'An chez ti-Bob et Ninette.

Bonjours chers Lynne et Robert, C'est avec grande tristesse qu'on a appris ici le décès de tante Rose...tante Toutoune comme on l'a toujours appellé. On parlait justement d'elle il y a deux-trois semaines lorsque Jacqueline et Jean Yves et Lucette (tante Lucille Berard) étaient chez nous durant les fetes. ET j,avais demandé à Diane Alarie aussi si elle avait des nouvelles récentes de tante Toutoune. Je garde des tres bons souvenirs d'elle, sa joie de vivre, son sens d'humour et son rire si attachant. Maman avait toujours que des belles choses à dire de sa grande sœur et elle nous racontait souvent des aventures qu'elles avaient eu ensemble lorsqu'elle étaient jeunes et moins jeunes. Malgré la distance, toute la famille Connelly pense à vous dans ses moments difficiles et envoie ses condoléances a vous deux et à vos familles respectives. Nos prières sont avec vous. Denise, Dennis, Lynne, Michèle, Kathleen, Raymond et Daniel Connelly xxoxoxo - Posted by: Lynne Connelly (niece) on: Jan 06, 2015
