Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Sr Irene Leger ndsc 1932 2022..
Décès pour la Ville: Moncton, Province: Nouveau-Brunswick
Les sympathies affectueuses de toutes les Filles de Marie-de-l’Assomption qui ont connu Soeur Irène, en particulier, celles qui l’ont connue en Nouvelle-Écosse. Moi, je garde un excellent souvenir de son passage dans ma paroisse, Buttes-Amirault, ainsi que les membres de ma famille. Ils s’informaient encore d’elle. Dieu se souvient de toutes ses bontés pour les personnes qu’elles a côtoyées. Merci! Dolores, f.m.a.
