BONNE FETE - HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY Yvette Comeau/Deveau, December 19th. Love from Mom, Ed, Marisol & Family.

THANK YOU - It’s with deep appreciation that I want to take this time to let everyone know how thankful I am to everyone who has supported me. No act of kindness, no matter how small, has gone unnoticed. My benefit was a huge success thanks to so many people who worked very hard to make it happen. First, I’d like to thank a very special person Darlene Wagner, without her this could never have happened. She went above and beyond to do this for me. Along the way, she needed a lot of help and everyone pulled through and pitched in. Her husband Richard Wagner and sister Brenda Doucet. A big thanks to my awesome co-workers at Clare Dodge...you guys are the best!!! Love you all! Big thanks to all of you who volunteered at the benefit. Thanks for the donations for gift certificates, gas cards, to the local bands who performed, the fishermen who donated lobsters, the people who made rapures, the ones who baked, the ones who donated the items for the Silent Auction, the Acadian Clickers for dancing. Another big thanks to Marlene & Luke from the Wheelhouse for donating a seafood lasagna, spaghetti & pies. Also thank you to the 12 women from Clare who gave me the lap quilt, that was so special to me. My heartfelt thanks to my “Annapolis Royal Fan Club”. I’m overwhelmed at the generosity for your community. Once again from the bottom of my heart. Thank you to all of you who came to see me, sent money, flowers, prayed, called and supported me during this difficult time. Last but not least, thank you Mom (Lisa MacAlpine) and my sister-in-law (Nancy Walker) for taking such good care of me at the hospital. Thanks Dad (Heath) & Joyce for being there with me. Thanks Grand-mère (Elise), for all you do for me and taking care of my kitten for me. Geanna Walker for checking in on me and driving me around. Also to my amazing boyfriend Travis, you are the best, never leaving my side for one minute through this whole ordeal, I love you. Love you all, please forgive me if I’ve overlooked anyone. Erika.
