Mike, I was heartbroken to learn today, August 12, that Collette had passed away. I think of you both often and the laughs we shared at the table of Jack and Theresa. Those occassions always make me smile. Her spirit and elegance was amazing. And the love you both shared was obvious.

Dear uncle Mike,
I was very sorry to learn about aunt Colette’s death. These moments are always difficult. It is so painful to loose someone we care for so much but she is no more suffering. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathy Mike and family
We met Colette in 1966 when we moved to an apartment building on Kenneth Ave in Willowdale. Colette and Irene became close friends and their daughters Michelle and Anne Marie became playmates. After we all moved away from Willowdale, we seldom saw eachother but were able to keep contact through mail and through Mike’s relatives in Barrie. We also live in Barrie.Colette and Michelle have always been in our hearts..they were angels on earth. Our dearest Colette is now reunited with her beloved Michelle. Colette was so fortunate to have had such a wonderful family! Forever in our hearts and prayers..we love you so much. Irene and Bill
