Je tiens &agrave; remercier le personnel de la R&eacute;sidence Beacon Heights et de l'H&ocirc;pital Montfort pour leurs soins d&eacute;vou&eacute;s.

I am proud to have worked as a nurse, and to have volunteered for community organizations such as Les femmes de la F&eacute;d&eacute;ration Canadienne-fran&ccedil;aise and the Auxiliaries of Montfort Hospital. Most of all, I am proud to have raised seven children: Louis (Dann Michols), Anne (Robert Letellier), late Albert, Patrick, Suzanne (Paul Fourcassi&eacute;), Pauline (Paul Hunt) and Jean-Pierre (Luce Gauthier). Their offspring gave me much joy (Gabrielle, Marie-Eve and Eliane Letellier; Alix, Joseph, Fr&eacute;d&eacute;rique, Fabienne and Pierre-Marcel Mantha; F&eacute;lix, Elie and Victor Fourcassi&eacute;) as did my 5 great-grandchildren. I wish to thank the staff at the Beacon Heights Residence and at the Montfort Hospital for their devoted care. Don't cry for me, as I have loved and been loved.
