Aujourd'hui est un jour bien triste. Ma tante Mounette va me manquer .
Je garderai toujours le souvenir de son courage et de sa résilience face aux épreuves qu'elle a traversées.
Elle ne se plaignait jamais et gardait sa joie de vivre malgré tout. C était toujours pour moi un grand plaisir d échanger avec elle par téléphone.
Je pense í Marc et sa famille dans cette épreuve et leur adresse toute mon affection et mon soutien

With deepest sympathies for the loss of Marcella. I was very fortunate to have known her and privilege to be her hairdresser. She will be greatly missed by me. May she rest in peace with the rest of her family up in heaven. Susan
Such a lovely photo of a young Marcelle! She took risks, worked hard and helped create a new life in America Silvio, complete with a beautiful family. She was a joy to know!
It is with great sadness to see the last of our parents leave us, who were part of the greatest generation and against all odds came to a new country with a different language and culture to make a new life for their children. Marcelle was an amazing woman with great courage who made a new life so her family and children could prosper in peace. It was a privilege to have known such a great person. She will always be remembered. May you Rest In Peace Marcelle.
