Condolences
My deepest condolences to Roland and family. Although a few years older, I do remember Germaine as a sports enthusiast and always smiling. Only found out about her passing as I was looking for my cousin Lucille Fougere who recently passed.
Again belated sympathies for the Doucet family.
My sincere condolences to you Roland and your family.
My sincere condolences to Roland & Star & family , Germaine was very special to me, I hope she is at peace and with Donnie again ❤️🙏
Roland, Star, and family: it was a shock to learn of Germaine’s passing, although we knew her health struggles were worsening. Both of you were so kind to my parents, Florence and Leo P Chiasson, over the years as Point Cross neighbours, and that kindness was further extended to the rest of the family : Leona and George, Clifford and Anne. Denise and Don, Maurice and Andre as we began to make more use of the Point Cross property. I shall dearly miss the chats that Germaine and I used to have as I always looked forward to visits with her where I would get the news. You both were a true example of what neighborliness should be. So sorry we cannot make it to the funeral, but we will be thinking of you today .

Wayne & I want to send our deepest condolences to Roland, Ronnie, Annie Luce & all the family & friends. We were so sad to hear of her passing. Germaine was a schoolmate of ours & we considered her a good friend. I remember how good she was in math in school. May she rest in Peace.
Sending our deepest condolences to Roland and Germaine’s family on her passing. We knew Germaine and Roland as guests at their B&B years ago and this past summer staying at Germaine’s vacation home. We had the great pleasure of visiting with Germaine and Roland one evening last summer. We found Germaine her cheerful, friendly self despite her health concerns. We have many fond memories staying with Germaine and Roland, of their hospitality, the delicious homemade jam, muffins and wonderful breakfasts. We know Germaine will be greatly missed and we hold her fondly in our treasured memories as the kind and generous woman she was.
Nos sincères condoléances Annie, Donna, Robert et Marie
Our deepest condolences to Roland and family at this difficult time. Germaine was always very kind as a waitress at Evangeline Restaurant and to our boys when selling minor hockey tickets. May she rest in peace.
Nos sympathies à toute la famille!
