Chère famille, chère Jenny, dear Bill, cher Pierre,
Je vous souhaite de la part de ma famille nos plus sincères condoléances. Je garderai une belle image de Michèle que j’avais eu l’occasion de rencontrer en 1987 lors de ma visite avec cousin Jean-François. Parrain Ernest nous avait fait découvrir le Canada dans son gros char.
Je vous embrasse de Belgique.
Bill, i wish you sincere condolences.

Well my heart hurts. Although over the last few years I have not seen Michele as often as I wish I could have, since leaving community living we have tried hard to keep in touch as much as we could figure out. I did go visit Michele in the nursing home and we share some chocolate and well Michele reminded me I did not bring her coffee. She insisted I take her for coffee at Janet’s. Oh Michele how I wish I had have done that. Then COVID happened and that ended our visit s due to having limited visitors. How this pandemic has made things very hard. I have the most fondest memories of taking Michele to the farm to visit with her dad and then years later to visit with Jenny. I have fond memories of going to Jeanette’s restaurant for fries and orange pop. Jenny, Bill and Pierre I think of you often and send you my love and hugs as you think of your own memories of Michele. She will also be in my thoughts and memories of my past that I love to revisit from time to time. With all my love Suzie

Dear Jennie and Bill and Pierre. Just heard that Michèle had passed away. I still remember meeting Mr Morue when Michele first moved to Egmondville and he told me that he knew our family. Michèle always talked about Solange and other people that I found out had been mutual friends of your family. Such wonderful memories for Michèle. Please accept our condolences. Hugs to you all. Janis and Peter Bisback.
