Sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Bonnie Turriff. Bonnie grew up in LaVallee and was one of the Logan family. Bonnie attended the LaVallee School and still kept in touch with many of her public school friends. Bonnie was an amazing mother, family member and friend. She loved to check out “good finds” at our local Salvation Army.” Always a smile and a kind word. She will be missed by all that knew her and smiles will cross many a face, for many years to come when we think of Bonnie, definitely a special lady!
Sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Linda LaRocque. Linda was a loving mother, grandmother and recently great-grandmother. She lived life to its fullest. Linda worked hard and passed that quality onto her family members. She will be greatly missed and will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
Robin’s 2 cents:
A husband stormed to his wife in the kitchen and announced, “From now on, you need to know that I’m the man of this house and my word is Law. You will prepare a delicious supper for me every night, including a scrumptious dessert. After dinner we will go upstairs and be romantic. Afterwards you will draw my bath, wash my back and then dry my back and bring me my robe. Then you will massage my feet. Then tomorrow, guess who’s going to dress me and comb my hair?”
The wife replied,”The funeral director is my first guess.”
