Visionner la cérémonieSincères condoléances à toi Alexandra, à Jean-Benoit, Henri et Philémon, à Madeleine, Maurice et Aline, puis à tous les proches de Diane qui sont éprouvés par son départ. Je pense à vous tous et à vous toutes en ces moments difficiles. Mes souvenirs de Diane remontent à plusieurs années, mais ils sont encore bien frais à ma mémoire.
Diane and I were very close friends for more than 20 years. Although 1000 miles apart, in this digital age we were in daily communication like roommates. We encouraged each other in whatever tasks we were undertaking. We shared good times and comforted each other in tough times. We shared what we were doing during the day and we discussed topics of mutual interest. We sometimes even watched the same television show together. When I had visitors, they also enjoyed talking with your mother. I and many others this side of the border will miss Diane.
During these last months as independent living became more difficult for Diane the move to long term care became unavoidable. I too wish to thank the CHSLD staff at Coaticook for helping us stay in contact with Diane during this difficult time.
In the last few weeks it became more difficult for your mother to communicate. Though she was not always able to respond I believe she was aware that the daughter she loved was showing the same love for her by her frequent visits and care. I’m sure that your love was an important source of comfort felt by your mother during her passing.
Bill Mutch, Indianapolis, Indiana USA
I am Bill Mutch’s brother. I live in Washington, DC, and I used to visit Bill two or three times a year. Diane was such an important part of Bill’s life that when I visited him I also visited with her. We talked about TV shows — mostly murder mysteries — that Bill did not watch, and she told me about shows she thought I would like. I am a political historian, so we also had some conversations about American and Canadian politics.
The next time I visit Bill I will not be able to say, “Hi, Diane” as soon as I walk in the door. I thought of her as my friend, too, and I miss those conversations very much.
Whenever I visited Bill I knew that Diane would be there on Skype so when I entered I always said: “Hello Diane”. I always got a cheerful: “Hello Nancy” in return. Because of the pandemic I have not been able to visit for more than a year and I missed being able to greet Diane. With your mother’s passing I will never hear her greeting again and it makes me sad.
Sometimes Diane would even kid me about eating all of Bill’s snacks. We would laugh about that. When Bill and I started to leave for lunch Diane would always ask us to bring back a hamburger for her. We always assured her we would. I will miss that.
Her passing is sad for me. It must be very sad for you. I’m glad you got to spend the day before her passing with her. I’m sure that was meaningful for your mother.
