MY MOTHER WAS BORN ON MAY 25, 1942 IN A LITTLE VILLAGE NAMED ALLAINVILLE, NEW BRUNSWICK. SHE CAME FROM A VERY LARGE AND LOVING FAMILY. I GUESS THAT'S WHERE SHE GAINED ALL HER STRENGTH AND COURAGE. SHE WAS BORN THE DAUGHTER OF LIONEL AND MARGARETTE HEBERT, AND A LOVING WIFE TO MY FATHER EDGAR GIROUARD. SHE WILL BE SADLY MISSED AND WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS.

IN 1994, MY MOTHER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE DISEASE CALLED SCLERODERMA. A RARE DISEASE THAT I KNOW THE US AND THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER START PAYING ATTENTION TO AND START FUNDING AND REASEARCHING ON. THEY SAY AN ESTIMATED 300,000 PEOPLE IN THE US ARE SUFFERING FROM SCLERODERMA TO DATE. WEII THAT IS A FIGURE THAT SHOULDN'T BE IGNORED. THERE ARE MANY WONDERFUL SITES AND ALOT OF INFORMATION ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS DISEASE AND I'M HOPING TO HAVE THEIR LINKS ON THIS PAGE. NOW ABOUT MY MOM IN 1994 MY MOM STARTED TO SEE HER SKIN TIGHTENING ON HER ARMS. SHE WENT FOR MANY TESTS BEFORE THEY FINALLY REALIZED WHAT SHE HAD. WHEN THE DOCTOR TOLD US WHAT SHE HAD WE DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT IT WAS OR WHERE IT COMES FROM. WE DIDNT HAVE A CLUE THAT SHE WAS UP FOR THE BATTLE OF HER LIFE.FIRST YOU HAVE TO KNOW MY MOTHER. SHE WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN I'VE EVER KNOWN AND MY ONE TRUE LOVE. SHE RAISED 7 CHILDREN AND WORKED AS WELL AS MY DAD TO PROVIDE FOR ME AND MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND BELIEVE ME THAT WAS A TASK IN ITS OWN. SHE LOVED TO SMILE AND LAUGH. SHE HAD A HEART OF GOLD THAT I KNOW SHE GOT FROM HER MOTHER.SHE LOVED TO COOK AND KNIT. SHE WALKED EVERY DAY AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL SHE HAD A REMARKABLE FAITH IN OTHERS AND IN GOD WHICH IN THE END BROUGHT US ALL CLOSER TO GOD...THANK YOU MOM. DURING HER ILLNESS WE'VE SEEN MANY DIFFERENT CHANGES IN MY MOTHER'S APPEARANCE DURING THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE DEASE, BUT KNOWING HER SHE NEVER EVER COMPLAINED ONCE ABOUT IT. SHE WAS JUST AS ALWAYS, STRONG AND ALWAYS HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT PAIN SHE WAS FEELING. SHE WAS ALWAYS HOPEFUL AND THANKING GOD FOR EVERY DAY THAT SHE SHARED WITH US. DURING HER ILLNESS SHE HAD A FEW REAL LIFE GUARDIAN ANGELS WITH HER AND THEY WERE HER SISTERS, FOR MY AUNTS THAT SPENT ALL THE TIME WATCHING HER SUFFERING AND GOING TO DIFFERENT DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND SITTING IN THE HOSPITAL WITH HER WHENEVER SHE WAS THERE. I KNOW FOR ME AND MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE'LL NEVER FORGET EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE. WE LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH, AND THANK YOU FROM US ALL. DURING MY MOM'S ILLNESS MY MOTHER HAD STRENGTH FROM TWO VERY SPECIAL LADYS, WHO I BELIEVE GAVE MY MOM MORE STRENGTH AND COURAGE THROUGH IT ALL, AND WENT BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY AND WAS MORE THEN WHAT WOULD EVER BE EXPECTED EVEN FROM SISTERS. THEY WERE REAL ANGELS AND WE WERE GREATFUL THAT THE LORD HELPED THEM THROUGH ALL OF THIS AND GAVE THEM THE STRENGTH TO SHARE WITH MOM.I'M HONERED TO SAY THAT THESE TWO ANGELS ARE MY LOVELY AUNTS CARMELLA AND PATSY. FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE DISEASE, MY AUNT CARMELLA RESEARCHED TO FIND ANY INFORMATION SHE COULD ABOUT THIS DISEASE, WHICH SHE WOULD SHARE WITH THE FAMILY AND TELL US WHAT TO EXPECT. SHE NEVER HELD BACK AND NEVER GAVE FALSE HOPE. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART FOR HER.NOW PATSY IF THERES A PLACE RIGHT BESIDE THE LORD I KNOW HES SAVING IT FOR HER SHE WENT TO EVERY APPOINTMENT WITH MOM TO THE DOCTORS,EVERY TIME MY MOTHER WAS IN THE HOSPITAL SHE TOOK THE TIME TO STAY WITH MOM NO MATTER HOW FAR SHE HAD TO TRAVEL.SHE TOOK TIME FROM WORK AND TIME FROM HER FAMILY | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
