Don’t have many memories but a few years ago we had a mini cousin reunion in Connecticut at our cousin Irene house also I called her on her birthday this year and she told me her son was taking her out for her birthday. What a nice sweet thoughtful young man.
We are so sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our prayers. Love, George and Rachel

Jim and I fell in love with Clo the minute we met her. Unfortunately, our friendship lasted only a couple of years, but she is that someone who left a huge tear in our hearts. To her whole family, our love and sympathy goes to each one of you – Clo will be missed by all of us. Bob, we love you! You are so special to us! Sue and Jim Andrews
Thank you for your support throughout the years.
Clo had a personality much larger than her small frame. With a contagious laugh and a warm hug she welcomed everyone into her circle. She was strong, brave, upbeat, fiercely loved her family and was a devoted Catholic.
Clo was my mentor and sponsor when I came into the Catholic Church.
God bless those who were touched by Cleo’s love and compassion. To Bob and her family, my deepest sympathies to you all. I pray the many memories help to warm your heart with this painful loss.
Clo was someone I considered a friend and mother figure since I met her in the 80s.
Bob and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Clo was a very strong devoted Catholic and cared about her family and everyone around her. You never knew she had so many health issues. She was a strong woman and never let her illnesses interfere with anything. Praying for all of you during this difficult time. She will be missed by many. May she RIP. Love ant Maddy and uncle Norm🙏❤️
Bob, my brother – I feel your grief and your pain; I know…
Clo was a gem. She always had a warm, inviting smile and a hug whenever we visited from VT.
There are many things I loved about that woman, and one of those things that I loved about her is how much she loved my brother and brought joy into his life.
And now she is spreading her joy with the other angels.
Roger and (Janet)
Mom I miss you with all my heart you were a great Mother in law I couldn’t have ask for a better person to be that thank you so much I love you alway and forever. Sally Lemieux
clo had many health problems but one would not know it because she was always laughing and very jovial. My deepest sympathy to Bob and the family. She will be missed. Take care of yourself Bob and may she RIP, love aunt Stella and uncle Ben
My deepest condolences to you, Bob, and all my cousins. I always loved Matante for her zany, fun-loving ways and her kind and giving soul. She loved life, her family and especially, God. She always had a compassionate heart for those in need and reminded me the most of her mother, Mémère Desrosiers. I called her a few times – not as often as I would have liked – and always enjoyed talking with her. It saddens me to know that she is no longer here on this earth, but I rejoice in the thought that she is in the arms of her loving Father, no longer suffering or in pain and watching over all of you from above. May God give you all His peace and comfort in your time of grief. Love, Sue
Claudette was my aunt, my dad’s sister.
