So sorry to hear of the loss of this lovely woman. She was a wonderful colleague to me during my 10 years as Head of Program Support at Denis O’Connor High School. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Rest In Peace dear Germaine. Karen
My sincere condolences to your family on the loss of your Mom. Germaine was always smiling and happy and would light up when she talked about her children and grandchildren. She left too soon but she will be remembered for her kindness and beautiful smile. I didn't get to see her often since she moved from Ajax but when I did she had new adventures to tell about her family and was very happy and content. She will be missed.?? Rhonda Anderson
Natalie, Michelle and Monique and families, I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately we couldn’t be with you today but are thinking of you and sending prayers. Germaine is with Wayne and they are once again holding hands. In memory of your Mom we have sent a donation to the hospice. Love to you all, Aunt Sandy and Uncle Doug, Curt and Allison, And Lisa.
I met Germaine many years ago when we were active in the Kinsmen club of Ajax. As time went by we would only see each other on occasion until she joined the St. Vincent de Paul where I was an active member. She was a warm loving person, who was always smiling. She would talk about her family of whom she was so proud and always had a smile on her face. She will be missed. My prayers are with all of the family. May she Rest In Peace. Liz Ryan

Our condolences to Germaine’s three beautiful daughters, and the extended families on both sides. Family was the most important thing to Germaine. Friends were a close second, I’m sure, as she had so many! And I was lucky enough to be one them. We met through the Kinsmen Club of Ajax more than 35 years ago and shared many an adventure with both our husbands and family’s. Germaine was my intro into the DCDSB at the start of my career and during that time we became very close friends, going away on girls weekends at her cottage, on shopping sprees, sharing birthdays and dinner parties. I feel very fortunate to have had her in my life and I will miss her dearly.
Monique and family, My deepest condolences on the loss of your Mother. Thinking of you during this most difficult of times. ❤️
