André and Elise Gagné

Mes sympathies

Mes plus sincères condoléances.

Elise meant so much to me. She was a longtime friend and supervisor at Family Services of Ottawa. Her kindness and capacity for love and support will stay with me always. She will surely be missed by many as will Andre. Maggy

Elise sang alto in the choir à l'église St Charles à Vanier for many years. In 2010, some members of the choir went on a cruise and Elise was my cabinmate. She was a wonderful companion and such a lot of fun. I am adding two photos from the trip to the gallery.

I was so very saddened at the passing of Elise and André. Elise was a long time friend of mine that I first met while working at Family Services Ottawa. She had a big heart, the fortitude of a true social worker and the spirit of a very spiritual seeker and practitioner. I appreciate the opportunity to have been able to attend their service by zoom and the personal aspects of the service were truly touching. I continue to miss Elise and so wish she could have remained on earth longer. Her partnership with André was true and strong; a couple that left together. I will not be able to attend the Interment, but want to extend my deep sympathies to her family, friends, and church community as they gather for this moment.
