We were deeply saddened to hear of Claudette’s passing. For many years, she was a special neighbour at the farm, and our family has cherished fond memories of our visits with her and Alec. Claudette’s kindness and warmth left a lasting impression on all of us. We truly value our friendship and will never forget the special times we spent together. Please know that you are in our thoughts during this difficult time. Wishing you comfort and peace as you reflect on the wonderful memories of a life well lived. With heartfelt condolences, Nelda Cole and Family

We are deeply saddened to hear of Claudette’s passing. We lost touch with her after she sold her home here in Cobourg. We became friends many years ago through Tom and his late brother, John had done some home improvements at their Shirley Street home. She and Alex were both wonderful people! Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Sincere condolences, Tom & Carol Ann
