Dear Paul,Dan,Nita & Families, We were all very sad to hear about Jackie’s passing. I had hoped to come to the Memorial Service on Sunday, unfortunately I will now be unable to come. Thinking about you all.

Bonjour mon oncle Paul, Dany, Nita vos époux et enfants.
On est tellement triste et en même temps un peu soulagé de voir que cette femme si gentille, si dévouée, pleine de vie, être enfin délivrée de cette maladie si cruelle qui vient nous chercher une partie de nous même avec les années que durent la maladie. On aimerait parler de notre p’tite ma tante préférée qu’on aimait beaucoup. C’était toujours le fun qui commençait quand elle arrivait à quelque part, alors imaginer quand elle va être rendue en haut avec toute la gang de la famille. Ça va brasser pas mal. (hahaha)
Juste une petite histoire pour terminer. On était chez ma tante et mon oncle. Un soir on décide de jouer au UNO un jeu de cartes. Louise et ma tante jouaient ensemble et bien elle était si malcommode qu’elle réussit à convaincre Louise de tricher ensemble. Louise qui ne trichait jamais. On s’est fait battre sans jamais imaginer qu’elles pouvaient tricher. On avait bien ri.
La chose qui me revient le plus souvent en tête c’est qu’on ne l’oubliera jamais notre petite ma tante de taille, mais tellement grande à l’intérieur.
Louise, Gervais et la famille Boulianne.

Paul and family, we were so sorry to hear of Jackie’s passing. I worked with her at Alliston hospital and have many good memories of shifts with Jackie. She had a great sense of humour, and you always knew where you stood with Jackie. We left Tottenham in 1990 so it has been many years since I have seen Jackie but have thought of her fondly through out the years. God speed Jackie, I will say a little prayer for you tonight. Joan
Nita Pronovost says

I am sorry to hear about Jackie’s passing. We were co-workers at Stevenson for several years & there are still people there that remember her fondly. The news has been shared. I’d like to know when the memorial will be as some may wish to attend.
Take care.
