R.I.P. Louise Olivia Quesnel Fortin 1944-2011

LouiseQuesnel2 150x150 R.I.P. Louise Olivia Quesnel Fortin 1944 2011This morning, one day after my birthday, mom died peacefully at home surrounded by friends and family. It’s the best birthday gift because she suffers no more.

It was truly an honor to be there for her.

She allowed me to give back to a person who gave so much of herself, and to discover a part of her I never knew.

She was selfless until the very end. Even when in constant pain, as she struggled to swallow and drifted in and out of consciousness, she was still thinking of others.

She was always making sure she paid for any of her expenses, always asking about others, always stopping short of asking for help for fear she would be an imposition.

Mom’s memorial service will be held at St. Mark church, 160 Principale, Gatineau (Aylmer sector), Québec, on November 4th at 10 am. Family members will receive condolences starting at 9:30, and snacks will be served after the ceremony.

A huge thanks to Sylvie Fortin. My rock. My family’s rock. And my mom’s rock. Most of all, thank you mom for this gift. I love you. Always.

Lonely rivers flow, to the sea, to the sea. To the open arms of the sea. Lonely rivers sigh, “Wait for me, wait for me.” I’ll be coming home, wait for me!

    So sorry, Michel. Blessings.

  • TheIMKoala

    I don’t know you, and you don’t know me, but I am still very sorry for your loss. I lost my own mother a couple of years ago, and like you, I was with her when she passed. While this is truly an honor and a blessing, as you have mentioned, for those of us left behind it is only the beginning. Take good care of you.

  • deanna.blanchard

    I’m so sorry for your loss, Michael.

  • AliceFlanders

    I give you my sympathy. I understand the dying near your birthday part. My mother died ON my birthday. She wanted to live till the year 2000. She died 12/26/1999.

  • RaviJayagopal

    Michael, so sorry about this. The suffering has ended, and she’s in a much better and happier and more peaceful place now. She’s with God!

    Thanks for sharing Michel. Very sorry for your loss although it’s good to hear she was surrounded by loved ones. Take care.

  • MikeLamb

    Michel, I am truly sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom last year and the year before that my Dad. ike you, I was very fortunate to be there for the both of them at that time. The work for us goes on, but I know our parents are still working for us and with us from the other side. Be strong and take care, both of you. As time continues you’ll realize more and more of the little things she helped you do to become the person you are.

  • RonakShah

    @michelfortin NO! Gasp! Michel, your mom is real! this is really disappointing & shocking to know your mom expired. Mom’s are precious. They live in your soul. Sorry, I can’t take the pain. My condolences to your family.

  • ctrcristie

    Michael, this is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman. Although we all will pass from this earth, we leave behind the legacy of all we are to those who love us. It is obvious you have loved and been gifted with a beautiful legacy from your mother. Mine passed away almost two years ago and I think of her every day. You will continue to honor her with the life you live. May you be blessed with peace and the knowledge that she is yet with you in spirit. May angels attend you and comfort you. Blessings, Cristie Gardner

    I feel for you Michael. Remember that your mother would not want you to be sad. Think of the good times you had with her and feel the joy of that now and bring it with you to give you strength now.

    Take care.

    My condolences to you, Sylvie, and your family Michel.

    Very sorry for the loss.

  • coachgrazina

    Someone is happy now to welcome her back home on the other side. Alice A. Bailey said that death and birth are similar, as we pass through the same doorway. Birth onto the Earth plane makes us happy here, but can make someone sad in the Spirit world. Your Mum is back home, Michel, lots of love to you and your family.

  • fastcreative

    As Caterpillar becomes a Butterfly so has your Mom been transformed in the twinkling of an eye.

    Your dedication and courage is an inspiration to us all. Condolences to you, Sylvie and your family.

  • JeanetteCates

    Michel – We are thinking of you and your wonderful family. I’m sure your mother wanted to be there for YOUR birthday – and once that goal was accomplished, she passed on quietly. How wonderful that you and Sylvie and your family were there for her.

    • http://MedicalMarcom.com/ MedicalMarcom

      @JeanetteCates I really like your sentiment, Jeanette, and believe she did hold on to be with Michel on his birthday.

      Incidentally, Michel, my birthday was also yesterday. A bittersweet Happy Birthday to you along with my prayers and thoughts.

  • RobertLehrer

    Even the tremendous wordsmiths that read your blogs Michel, probably can’t come up with words to properly reflect what you’re feeling now and what you’ll feel a month from now.

    Just know that there’s a lot of people (I’m one of them) that think the world of you and are wishing you and your loved ones the best.

    Warmly,

    Rob Lehrer

  • BrianVoiles

    You are in my prayers Michel. I hope you are doing well… you deserve good things. Much love… Warmly, Brian Keith Voiles

  • omanjason

    HUGE condolences to you Michel! I can only imagine how hard this could be. But, it sounds like you’re taking it the right kinda way and turning it into a ‘positive-ish’ kinda thing! Way to be the Rock Star you are superstar! I hope this only serves to propel you to making even more of the amazing positive difference you do for others, my friend! RIP Louise…

  • DazzlingDolly

    Hi, Michel, I’ve been getting your emails for about 4 years now…….and though we’ve never met..I feel like I know you. My heart goes out to you and your family…….losing the Matriarch of a the family is very hard. Especially when they are loving and selfless like your mother. My prayers are with you……..I think it’s pretty amazing that God took her home on YOUR Birthday……and that you see it as a “Gift”… Thank you for all the stories you’ve shared over the years and your dedication to helping others become successful on-line……whatever business they are doing. I have learned a lot from you. Blessings, Always, Dazzling Dolly Lutz

    P.S. Make time for grieving……..this is a HUGE loss for you.

  • DazzlingDolly

    Hi, Dolly again. How embarrassing…….I reread your post and it says one day AFTER your Birthday……..sorry about that…….but I think that is still pretty miraculous, considering there are 364 other days God could have chosen. Take Care, Dolly

    Michel and Sylvie, my condolences to you both, and all your loved ones as well. I’m so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing and the loss in your hearts for her presence. I felt that way when my Dad died. The thing that comforted me was sensing that he was, somehow, still around me in Spirit and very much in my heart. Love is an eternal bond and they live on deep in our hearts. Blessings to you both and your family. <3

    I am so sorry for your loss. From the posts I’ve read, it is clear that you were a superb son and your wife was an amazing daughter-in-law. From what you’ve shared about the very special person your mom was, there is no doubt that she is in a better place now.

  • Mary E Mazzullo

    Michel and Sylvie – as you shared your experiences of what you went through with your Mom, I re-lived my Mom’s passing. We knew she was going to leave us. And her spirit and health was so good that I thought I could go to BIG13 and then be there for all that you went through in 5 days when we returned. Instead, she decided that she could finally let go – I believe knowing I would not endure the process as well as you have. And she battled late Friday to Sunday and let go before we could get a flight back. I now understand even more fully what her weekend was like… and believe she wanted t that way. Though I miss her so much. And I appreciate you sharing your journey with your Mom. SO MUCH love going your way.

  • Barb Harris

    I’m so sorry, Michel. But I’m glad the ordeal is over for you all.

  • Joe Nykoluk

    “…the best birthday gift…” I told you that you would smile. It will be a little strange at first, but you as well as your Mom are finally free. You are both released.

  • LaDawn Hancock

  • Glen Osborne

    Your dear mother still lives through your memories, Michel. If and when you are ready, it will be interesting to me to learn of some her little and great activities which helped build the part of the world she dwelt in. My mom reached the end of a terminal illness in late 1996. One of her activities was to continue her tutoring of high school math from her care home bed up until 2 months before she passed on. The vibes I get from the photos of your mom indicates to me that this fine lady did much that without her a community would not have grown.

  • Mary E. Ulrich

    Michel, What a lovely tribute to your mom and family. They often say, “People who live well, die well.” It sounds like your mom died well. She was caring and loving for others as they were caring and loving for her–a circle of caring and love. I’m sure you will miss her, but you’re right, she left you with an amazing gift.
