Oh Mrs. C! What a wonderful person you are and you will be missed so much!
I will always remember her spirit and energy. During the time I worked with her at DKH Development office, she was like a mother to me. i would just mention that one of my children had a baseball game that night and the next day she would tell me who had won that game. She was always interested in everyone and such a wonderful person to talk to and work with. Rest in peace, Mrs. C……
My condolences to whole family.

To the entire Coderre Family:
We have all lost people in our lives and some of those people find that special place in our hearts. Mommy, not just found a place in my heart, she became a piece of my soul. I loved her as I would my own dear Mother. Though she is not with me any longer, in impact she made in my life will never be replaced or ever go away. Not only did she become my “family” her children and their spouses also became my family and have a special place in my heart forever. May God rest her soul peacefully with golden wings and keep her near us all everyday. I Love you Georgette and will miss your smiling face and cute wave from your chair. I Love her family just as well and will miss all of your individual marks you have made in my life. Love, Annette xo

Ron and all the Coderre family,
Sorry to hear of Mrs. C’s passing. I have very fond memories of your mom taking care of the neighborhood kids when we would take a break during our summer baseball games. There was always room at your house and your mom was always there for us.
I’m also very happy that I had a chance to visit with her at her “office” during one of our visits to Putnam. At 92, she didn’t get cheated. She had a good life. Our prayers are with you and your family

We decided to wait a couple of days before we signed this condolence message because we knew there would be many remarks and we were correct. Georgette touched the lives of many and people took the time to write a note. Not too many people have that affect on others. She was one of a kind and just saying her name brought a smile to your face if you knew her. She was a wonderful human being and the Coderre family was lucky to have her as their Mother.
Penny Zamagni
Our deepest condolences to all the Coderres on the passing of precious Georgette. It was an honor for us to be part of the extended family of a woman who possessed a splendid soul and tremendous beauty, both inside and out. She was a person who brought light into every room she entered and into every life that touched hers. How proud she must have been of the wonderful family she raised and all your accomplishments. Prayers for you all.

To the entire Coderre Family.
Wow what a loss to all of us, and to all who got the opportunity to get to know her. As you know Georgette and I go way back to 1976 when we worked together as cna’s at Westview. She was amazing then as well as now. We always made jokes about me taking care of her someday, who would’ve known…I will miss her smiling face and caring and gentle ways. I’m sure she’s looking down on us now, and Dee I’m sure the make-up and earrings aren’t such. God Bless You All you’ve lost a good one.. SO GLAD THAT I FINALLY GOT TO MEET THE CHILDREN THAT WE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT YEARS AGO AND TODAY AS WELL. .LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU ALL. BE SURE TO COME BACK AND VISIT US. MICHELLE DANIELS XOXOXO

Joe and Pat Coderre
Dear Ron, Moe, Diane, Dee, Mike, Mark, and Jackie,
Our deepest condolances for the sudden loss of your mother and my last Coderre Aunt. The few times we were in Grosvenor Dale were all too brief but I can honestly say they were very memorable. Life pulls us in so many directions. It is times like this that we feel the pain of not seeing family the most. Please stay close to each other as you always have been. Encourage each other to remember happy times. Comfort each other when times of loss and sadness come. I pray doing so will bring more joy to you and your families as the good memories stay and the sad times fade.
With all our love,
Joe and Pat
Jamie and Debra Heath
