My memory of Alietta is one of a wonderful and gentle soul, who made myself and everyone around her feel welcome and special. She was also blessed to be surrounded by one of the most loving families I have ever known. Something I’ve heard is when you lose someone you love, you gain an angel you know. That feels very fitting for Alietta who will forever live in our hearts, and may she Rest In Peace! Sending love and hugs to all those who have lost a very special mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend.

One of my fondest memories growing up centered around Christmas and we usually arrived in Chelmsford with a couple of hours before dinner time. My father, Jean Claude, loved his Mom and all his siblings and his energy would rise as he exited the car and put the long days drive behind him. I would say hello to my Grand Mere and Uncle Lionel, sometimes that included whole cream and blueberry preserves or chicken noodle soup, but I quickly excused myself to head over to the Farmers. I always felt welcomed and safe around my Aunt Alietta and Uncle Paul and there was always something in the oven when I walked into the kitchen, I remember feeling as if she cooked pork sticks just for me! Ma tante, knew out of all the kids running around during the holidays, I spoke no French, was the cousin from the big city and at times, didnt fit in. Never did I have to take a back seat or feel that I was alone with her in the room. I wanted to write something profound, at the very least comforting, something that anyone who reads this can relate and take comfort in; but I cannot. I have to admit that I only knew ma tante Alietta through my direct interactions of my youth and any time since have been limited over the past 25 years. When we did speak, it was effortless and as if we had continued our discussion from years past. Too few visits, and only short conversations on the phone lead me to writing this today. Im sorry to have not taken more time to visit, spend time with you and to let you know I love you. I will miss you; ma tante Alietta, but I will never forget you. You always made me feel as if it was - just for me.
