We Remember

CARON, Denise

Denise died on June 13, 2014 at the age of 50. Survived by her loving husband Vincent Collado, her mother Cecile Drouin, brothers Raymond and Jean-Louis Gendreau.

 We did not know that morning

what sorrow the day would bring.

The bitter grief and shock severe,

to part with the one we love so dear.

You bid no one last farewell,

no chance to say good-bye.

You were gone before we knew it,

only God knows why.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

but you did not go alone

for part of us went with you

the day God called you home.

Though your smile is gone forever

and your hand we cannot touch,

we will never lose the memory

of the one we love so much.

    Dear Vincent,
    My sincere condolences on the passing of Denise.
    When she worked in Belgium, more than 10 years ago, she taught me, by showing, how one can achieve the best results by respecting and motivating people, in a pleasant way. These were valuable lessons and reason why I still think with a great pleasure, and great respect of the days I had the privilige to work together with Denise.
    I wish you all the strength you need in this diffucult period…

  • Simret says:

    I am shocked to hear the sad news. Denise was one of the best leaders I know. Not only she was bold and fearless but also kind and compassionate. She will always have a big part in my heart and may God console her loved ones. She went too soon, but she has surely touched many hearts through her generosity, vibrant personality and humility.
