To the Turcotte family, Denis, Julie, Danielle, Pat and Phil. I am so very sorry for this loss, I couldn’t believe the news when i heard it! I have so many childhood memories of Adele, we became very close since my sister and I only lived down the street from your family and we attended the same school. We were always together and always came up with new and interesting things to do, and even when my family moved off to Sault Ste marie, your family did also keeping us close. Unfortunately i havent spoken much to Adele in the past couple of years and im very sorry that i didnt. She will be in my prayers and so will your entire family! Take care of each other and comfort each other through this hard time.
Adele was a wonderful girl and will be missed dearly.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am sorry for what you are going through right now. Adele’s spirit will be with you and although she is no longer with you in a physical form, she will be able to guide you and help you in a spirit form. Remember she is still with you.

dearest julie, denis and family,
it is with a heavy heart that i type this message. as i have told you, i still can’t believe it. adele’s last message to me was an unbeat “sorry i didn’t come up with my parents. i promise to come spend a weekend with you in the new year”. she had added me as a friend on her facebook and i admired every beautiful picture she had on there. she had flourished into such a beautiful young woman. i have known adele, albeit from afar for the last few years, since birth and we enjoyed many fond memories. we used to babysit her and danielle when her parents would go away. needless to say, we did a lot of laughing. i remember her as all smiles, bubbly and had a real zest for life. she was always so kind with our children. a comment on her “rest in peace” group on facebook, one person said, we have not lost a friend, we have gained an angel. that is what i try to remind myself and i certainly feel her presence around me. that is what heaven is… i head to the soo tomorrow and it will be very difficult. not as difficult as it is for the family…. my friend needs me, and i also need to be with her…. cry, cry, cry…

Dear family and friends,
I cannot seem to grasp what has happened, so i cannot imagine what you, the family, are going through. I cannot comfort or calm these feelings you have or tell you that everything will be alright but I can tell you that Adèle was a great person and you raised her to be. She was the bubbliest, the nicest, most beautiful(we always envied her fo that) and sweetest person. I was a childhood friend from Kapuskasing and although our ”gang”(Emilie, Julia, Tiffany, Jessica, Gabrielle, Natalie and Chloe) had our little fights and big ones we always seemed to come back together because of Adèle. I have to say that although I had not seen her since a couple years because they moved, that I had not forgotten her because of all those good memories we had. I had not forgotten her then and I will never forget her now.
Thoughts and prayers to the family and other friends,
Anne

Turc,
My thoughts are with your family right now. Chinny called me with the news. God Bless and I am praying that you and your family will find the strength to find a way to get through this….I do believe in the power of positive thinking and knowing that others care about you and your family. The last time I saw your family was in Chin’s basement during a Christmas visit in Westort! My family’s prayers and strength are with you, Julie, Danielle, Pat and Phil. Family, friends and faith will help you through.
Love, Prayers, and Strength
