Gisele blessed our world with her faith, her joy de vivre and her many contributions to organizations at St Peter’s Church, I am so grateful for the many conversations we shared and wisdom gained from those visits at St Peter’s Credit Union over many years. Thanks for the memories my dear friend. Rest In Eternal Peace.

From the delicious family meals to her loving and caring nature, Ma Mere was always available to chat or lend a helping hand. She always made me feel like I was one of her own children. She will be missed dearly but I know that she has waited a long time to reunite with “Dad” Bolduc. May they pick up where they left off and know how deeply they were loved by us all.
Love and blessings,

Sorry to hear about “Tante Gisele”. She was always a very connected lady and good communicator who when I was a painfully shy child could draw me into a real conversation that made me feel I really had something worthwhile to say. Condolences to our cousins.
Dear, dear, dear Mrs. Bolduc! The 4th of July will never be the same! I loved seeing you and talking with you on those very special days! Carl agrees. I hope that you are going to be watching the parade, (and us), from above and laughing that wonderful laugh of yours! I have such fond memories of you! I will treasure those forever. God bless you!
Barbara, Your DAR sisters are so sorry to hear about your loss.
I took care of Gisele for almost 3 years and it was a pleasure to care for her, I loved her very much. She was a Blessing to me. I thank Lucie and Jon for trusting me to care for such a special Lady!!
