Grant & I are so sorry for your loss. Roxanne fought hard but the battle was to much for her. She truly was a wonderful woman which is evident by all the people on the blog who prayed for her so hard.
Rosemarie, I am so happy we had a talk a few nights ago. I am at peace like I know you are, my friend. You are truly a wonderful mother who is so very strong and whose faith in God, I envy.

James, Justin, and the Strueby Family,

I am so sorry for your great loss you have experienced. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

Roxanne was a wonderful, kind, friendly and loving person. The void left in all of our lives from her passing is something that cannot be filled..... but, we are all left with wonderful memories of her friendship, her laughter, and her smile.

RoseMarie and Maurice - be proud of the daughter you raised, because she touched so many people's lives, and brightened their days.

Reg, Ron, and Raymond - be proud of the sister you had, she was stubborn, spunky and had fight in her because of you boys - it her defence mechanism against the three of you growing up.

May God take Roxanne and place her in special spot amongst his treasured angels - because now that is where she belongs.

She will be greatly missed.

My heart goes out to the Strueby and Brule Families. Roxanne was one of those people that you wanted to be around, she was always upbeat and happy. I know that she was a wonderful mother and wife, and will never be forgotten. She was a true friend to anyone who she came in contact with, I had just ran into her last fall, and even though we hadn't seen each other in years, it was like we had seen each other last week. I will never forget you Roxanne, you've truly touched my life.

James, Justin, Strueby and Brule families,

I continue to pray for all of your strength in this tough time. Roxanne is certainly in good hands. Unbelievable how God worked through Roxanne. Fantastic to see/hear/read/feel the many truly amazing comments of this blog. See how she brought so many people together?

She was a master-organizer and truly a competitor and fighter - those traits hadn't changed from the school years. I have many funny memories of those years but what I remember most is her positive and upbeat attitude. With this personality it is very understandable that her illnesses frustrated her.

We pray now for her peace. God bless all of you!
Pam & Paul Bilodeau and family

James, Justin and families,

We are very sorry for your loss. Roxanne was a wonderful example of how a person should live their lives. Giving 100% was the way Roxanne lived, as a nurse, friend, team mate, wife, mother, daughter and sister. Even in these last few months, giving up was not an option. You always felt like you were a winner when Roxanne was around. She was determined, had great desire, unbelievable strength, strong faith, very compassionate, a good listener, and loved by all. I know that she will be looking down on us and encouraging us to be our best, because that's what angels do. With deepest sympathy.
