Toutes mes sympathies profondes à votre famille. J'ai travaillé près de 23 ans avec France. C'était mon amie et ma collègue. Son départ me bouleverse et je suis de TOUT coeur avec vous Jerry et les filles. Perdre un parent subitement nous laisse en douleur et sans mot. Sachez que France n'est plus ici mais partout en tout temps. Parlez-lui. Je vous envoies tout mon amour.

France was one of the first people I got to really know at the University. She was a colleague, friend, confident and mentor. Her generous spirit and willingness to listen will be forever ingrained in my memory. She spoke of her girls and Jerry with such pride and was so attentive to those around her. The shock of her sudden loss will eventually fade by my cherished memories of my friend and colleague will be with me forever. Our sincerest condolences for your loss. May your cherished memories of France always be a blessing. Karin and Kayla Brault

As a new, and young professional at uOttawa, I was blessed to have worked with France, she always made me feel welcomed and appreciated. She was a wonderful, kind, and understanding person.

I worked with France several years ago and this comes as such a shock and fills me with sadness.

She was very warm, friendly, generous, funny and great to work with.

My deepest condolences.

J'ai eu la chance de côtoyer France régulièrement à l'Université d'Ottawa, depuis 2006. Elle parlait de sa famille avec tant de fierté que j’avais l’impression de les connaître personnellement. Je retiens d'elle sa grande sensibilité et son rire. Son départ soudain est d'une énorme tristesse. J'offre mes condoléances à sa famille, ses collègues et son entourage. Repose en paix belle France.
