We would visit with Rochelle at Westview. She loved our shetland sheepdogs especially Rocky she would tell him we have the same name. The dogs always brought a smile to her face. May she rest in peace.

Rochelle J. Rivard was a old neibor of mine and when she went into Westview me and my mom would go visit her all the time until I couldnt due to a ilness that lasted 8 years and I did not want to get Rochelle or any other residents sick. I my self am a volunteer at Westview and was happy to see Rochelle after along time of recuperating. She remembered me and that made me smile. I always spent time with her when I was there and she loved that. I will miss her and will never forget her. Until we see eacother again R.I.P Rochelle J. Rivard my family will miss you.
