Everyone who knew our Mom had a tremendous amount of love, admiration and respect for her. She was a wonderfully kind and understanding lady with a deep faith who led a very exemplary life. We could not have hoped for a better Mother and we were truly blessed to have had her in our lives. Our Maman had many interests and talents: as an example, she had a gift for music and played the piano by ear. She was the daughter of Emile Beaudry and Emilda Alarie and was born and raised in St. Eustache, MB.
