My late husband, Don, had so many cousins that I never had the pleasure of meeting. My thoughts are with the greater Patenaude family and especially those close to Mary Ellen Smith

Auntie, I am heartbroken with your passing. My childhood was filled with beautiful memories of us together! I will always watch Pocahontas and think of the million times I had you watch this with me! We sang our hearts out to the Colors of the Wind! Never once did you complain! My Princess Leia buns were adorable and I will never forget how you brought me to get them! You sat there with the biggest smile as the lady did my hair! I know I grew up thinking you were just my god mother, but we always shared a special connection and I can now understand and appreciate that bond because I am a Aunt as well! I love you so much Auntie! When I came home last time in September, we sat and talked and I know you are home and in peace. I will miss you forever but I know you with your Mom and Dad and you are happy!
With Love Forever and Always,
Your Little LeeLee
