A huge thank you for the love and commitment throughout the years that her daughter Nicole did for her Mom. To the PSW’s Natacha, Penny, Carrie, Dr Barry Wannan and others who cared and loved her, thank you. Your dedication and hard work will never be forgotten.
Brigitte was a huge fan of the Québec Nordics in her younger years and proudly wore her jacket. She spent many years of her senior life enjoying the cottages of Cinder Lake and Dunlop Lake. Brigitte was a proud lady, devoted to her children and her family was her life. She was truly loved and will be sadly missed. A true pillar in all our lives, we love you!
