Nous sommes très peinés de la perte de Marie-Anne. Nous la considérions comme un membre de la famille, que ce soit, au quotidien avec mon père, Jean-Denis Desjardins, avec qui, elle entretenait une relation assidue depuis plusieurs années ou lors de nos rencontres familiales, nous avons eu le privilège de côtoyer une personne toujours dynamique et positive. Elle nous manquera. Nous te portons dans notre coeur Marie-Anne, et transmettons toutes nos sympathies à Hélène et sa famille. Louise Desjardins, Craig, et la famille

Un être cher vient de s en aller. Je partage votre chagrin Recevez mes plus sincères condoléances

Je suis triste 😢 du départ de Madame Bédard c’était pour moi une cliente très précieuse que j’aimais énormément et qui avait une répartie très brillante elle va me manquer

Marie-Anne Bedard Simard was the twin sister of my mother Marie-Marthe... and my cherished godmother. Even though we lived in different countries, she held a special place in our lives and was a constant presence due to the deep bond that the twin sisters shared. Marie-Anne was a beautiful person - inside and out: spiritual, refined, creative, a gifted writer, well informed of current events, a caring and loving soul. Given that she was still living independently and enjoying life well into her nineties, her death took us by surprise and has left a hole that no one will be able to fill because of her unique character and charm. Our mother had a favorite saying whenever she was faced with adversity - that she was earning her wings... and our aunt stated that her passport to heaven was ready. They were like two-peas-in-a-pod, so different yet so alike. I will greatly miss our phone calls in French, her loving attention and prayers, and her beautiful spirit. But I am comforted knowing that she is reunited with our mother and her many siblings and loved ones. Dear aunt/godmother, I wish you eternal peace & beauty. Know that you will live on in our hearts and memories. Sent with love and prayers from a distance... Normand and the Poulin Family X0 XO
