No words to express the profound loss of Roxanne. She was a part of our extended family (Lisa is my sister) and almost every holiday was combined with the Marleau’s and us. She was a joy to be around and such a beautiful lady. She will be sorely missed as her family was super close and so loving. Gone too soon. RIP.
