Bonjour,
C’est par hasard que j’ai pris connaissance de l’avis de décès de Antoinette.
Je suis un cousin éloigné ,j’aimerais d’abord offrir mes condoléances à la famille pour le décès de Antoinette.J’habite Joliette au Québec,j’aimerais qu’un membre de la famille de Antoinette qui parle français communique avec moi afin de prendre des nouvelles pour les transmettre à ma mère Madeleine Morin ,la cousine de Antoinette. Maman est la fille de Hélène Beaudoin Morin , la soeur de Rose Alma Beaudoin .Maman est peut-être une des 3 seules cousine de cette génération encore vivante et est âgée de 93 ans, .Elle a connu ses cousine mais ne les a pas vue fréquemment.
Espérant la chose possible,
Jean Chevrette
