I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathy to all of the family. I have many great memories of Marie-Paule as she was my very best friend in the early years of school in Ste. Anne. We did everything together, including exchanging shoes in class. This was always a classic topic which we would talk about when the old school stories were brought up. I recall the many sleepovers at her house, being her bridesmaid at one time. I am very saddened to hear of such loss. My prayers are with Marie-Paul and her family. - Posted by: Louise Trudeau (Perrin) (Friend) on: May 27, 2005
