Sending love and peace to the family of Yvonne, my cousin.
While I rarely had the opportunity to spend time with my extended family, you are no less a part of my memories and my own family. My mother, Lillian Provost, (Hank’s sister) invested sooo much time reminding me from a young age, who was who’s and what they were up to. I had the pleasure of attending a family reunion in Rosetown , in 1982, and again the year after my mother passed on, in Saskatoon in 2000. Both times, I felt instantly welcomed by the Provost family! Oh there were soo many similarities!!!
Yvonne’s name came instantly to mind when my sister Lianne told me the news of her passing. I knew who’s she was, and where she lived, and her age within just a few years!! And longed for a time when I could have visited ….
So it may seem weird to get my message now, but as my generation of family decreases, I know the pain of loosing one so close, and you will all, always be family. How I wish I could hold you, and find some words to bring you comfort.
Should you ever travel to Nova Scotia, know that you will be welcomed with open arms by this branch of the Provost family!! How wonderful it would be to chat about Yvonne, who sounds and looks so much like “one of us” !
I still feel and talk to my own mom, I suspect you will do the same. And while her presence will now be different, she will nonetheless be present. Of this I am sure.
Please know how deeply we care.
Much love to you all, Theresa and hubby Joe Gallant and family
