I do know that for Michele to be absent from her body is to be present with the Lord – and from what I know of Him, that must be pretty good! The funeral service was lovely – wow that Gelinas family has talent! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Condolence From: Grant Corey
Deepest sympathies to the entire Gelinas family in the loss of Michelle.
I know Marc through work at General Dynamics. Although I have not met Michelle, this is particularly touching to me as our second daughter has juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
May God bless you in this difficult time. You are in my prayers.

Marc,
I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your sister Michelle. I wish I had heard sooner as we were at the Bend yesterday but am at my son’s place in Oakville today and tomorrow so won’t be able to offer condolences in person. Epilepsy is such an awful disease. We’ll make a donation on Michelle’s behalf. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Joe
