I miss u mémère, you were a true angel at heart ❤️. I miss making fires in the barrels and just laugh and talk. I also miss the family gathering and going to Bonanza restaurant and Canad Inn. I love you - Posted by: Joel Frechette (Grandson) on: Jan 30, 2022

I often think about Mémère. Always fondly. When I needed nurturing, a bowl of her soup soothed my soul. She had this way of showing she loves us. She was our personal cheer leader if we excelled in any artistic expression. A personal teacher of her love for Jesus. A survivor. She taught us that when we do a job, we do it right the first time. She thought us about forgiveness. It wasn’t because she forgot. She had class! In an unsuspecting way. She could make us laugh! She united us all to watch a couple of shows with them on Sunday nights. Her and Pépère decided to build a cabin with a guest house. Family fires 🔥 with sing songs. The beach in all it’s beauty. Her painted rocks lining the entry way to the cabin. Our refuge. Our home. Our gift. From Mémère. Thank you Mémère! Love you and miss you. - Posted by: Suzanne Fréchette (Granddaughter ) on: Jan 21, 2021
