"Dear Cousins,My deepest sympathies for your loss. Aunt Jeanne was a blessing in my life. I truly enjoyed getting to know her better when I visited during the summers of 2007-2011. She opened her home and her heart to me. She was always so gracious and kind. We did crossword puzzles together or went out to see the sights in R.I. It was a lot fun.....After 2011, we stayed in contact through email, letters, and phone calls. She told me I was always welcome to stay with her. I felt like I had a home in R.I.I pray that God's love will surround you and your family and bring you peace at this time....."
In loving memory of
Jeanne A. Marcoux

"Dear Marcoux Family,I was lucky enough to know your Mom from her weekly visits to Zambarano to be with your sister Lisa. She was soft-spoken, kind, and so loving. She was so good to all of us who cared for Lisa, and we enjoyed her visits as well. Even after Lisa passed, it was nice to see her at our Christmas party. Please accept my condolences on the loss of such a wonderful woman."
