I live in the Pacific Northwest, and was pleased to visit Anne and Don twice. They opened their home to me and treated me like family. It was hard to get away from Anne without at least two heartfelt hugs, I regret not being closer at this time and am so sorry for Don’s loss, he always spoke of her as his love.
My heartfelt sympathy to Don and Joannes family at this sudden loss.
Don’s sister Donna is a precious NM friend.
I still don’t believe that you’re gone. I miss you mom. You’re were and will always be the greatest parent a child could ask for. Your memory lives on in the love I have and give for my children. Brittany says she loves you and well miss her Grammy.
RIP Mom.
Jeffrey

Mom I am lost for words. I walk around aimlessly . I keep thinking that you will call. You were my best friend . you still are my best friend. There will never be a moment that you wont be in my heart. You were the worlds best mom and I will forever feel your loss
Mrs. Couturier, I know you brought alot of love to your family and friends. Jeff and Jessica were two people I was glad to grow up with and you raised them to be wonderful people. That says alot about you as a mom. Please watch over them as they will always keep you in their hearts. I am so very sorry for this great loss.
You’re never prepared for the loss of a person like Joanne, unexpected as it was, or not. I have great memories of Joanne, Sarah, Chloe, and myself through the years. She was a peace keeper at times, and a referee at others, and never had a bad word to say about anyone. Ill miss her and all shes done for the family
Don we were so sorry to hear about Anne’s passing. Our sincere sympathy to you and your family.
