À Jocelyne, Joanne et Josette... ainsi qu'à toute la famille Gosselin... mes sincères condoléances. C'est dificile de perdre une Maman aussi extraordinaire que la vôtre. Madame Gosselin m'a été un grand appui dans le domaine de l'alphabétisation au courant de mes années à Pluri-elles. Je vous souhaite toutes et tous courage et j'offre mes prières pour le repos de l'âme de Madame Gosselin. - Posted by: Murielle Gagné-Ouellette (Acquaintance) on: Apr 29, 2005
