We were saddened to hear of the passing of Helen Fleming (nee Fitzpatrick) of Chapeau. She was the beloved wife of the late Jack Fleming. Our prayers are with her family and friends at this sad time.
Our family was saddened to hear of the passing of Aunt Theresa Perry (nee Ethier). She was the beloved wife of the late Stephen Perry. Aunt Theresa was a long-time resident of Waltham but had moved to Carefor Residence in Pembroke, Ont. She was very talented at sewing, knitting and crochet. She taught sewing years ago. Her family were her pride and joy. Our sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this sad time.

On Saturday afternoon, family and friends gathered at the Waltham Town Hall to pay tribute and celebrate the life of Cecil Denault and Richard Denault. Leon Venne was the emcee and welcomed everyone. After a lovely lunch was served, Philip Denault, Danny, Denault, Dollie Denault, shared their fondest memories of their brother Cecil. Gerard Labelle, dear friend of Richard gave a eulogy followed by Philip, Danny, Dollie, his sister-in-law Gail and nieces. Leon read a tribute on behalf of his dad Wayne Venne, who was unable to attend and was also a dear friend of Richard. We also listened to a song that Wayne had composed in memory of Richard. Several other family members and friends shared their fondest memories of Cecil and Richard ,followed by a slide presentation. May you both rest in peace Cecil and Richard.
Little Jack Béchamp of Barrhaven, Ont., the grandson of Lyne and Ray Béchamp celebrated his birthday on Oct. 31. We hope that you enjoyed your day.
Anniversary wishes and love are extended to my sister Susan and husband Brent Pilon, of Casselman, Ont. and to Marlene and George Campbell of Pembroke, Ont. who are celebrating on Nov. 3. We hope that you share many more years of God’s richest blessings.
Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour before you retire this coming Saturday night.
