Mrs. Hemstreet was one of my all time favourite teachers! Both Mr. and Mrs. Hemstreet were beloved at Father Gerald Labelle School in Corunna. She was always inspiring, committed and engaged with students. I remember her very fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with the family & friends.

Shannon,Kim,Heather,Patti and families,
We want to wish you our condolences on the passing of your Mom. She was a good friend and it was a pleasure to have known her and worked with her and your Dad over the years in Lambton. We had many visits and good laughs in your home in Mooretown and those memories we will always keep in our hearts. We will miss her. May God bless you and your families and bring you strength and peace at this time and in the days ahead.

It is with mixed sadness that Marlene, your Mom, will no longer be here on earth with us. When we were together, she always spoke of Lindsay and said how she asked Lindsay for guidance. Your Mom lived life her way. Reminded me of Lindsay. She will be missed by many. The Heavens will be rocking and rolling. All our love, Jay and Marg

So sorry to hear of Marlene's passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time.
I am so sorry to hear that Marlene has passed away. I have so many fond memories of working with her at St. Peter's School. She was a great person, always kind and thoughtful to all. She was a wonderful teacher and a fantastic friend. I looked forward to seeing her at St. Ben's, on Sundays and to getting a smile and a hug. She was a very courageous woman. I will miss her immensely. My prayers are with all of you. I know she will be praying for all of you, from heaven.
Sincerely,
Mary Debus

I knew Marlene through yoga classes that we were in together. She was always so cheerful and smiling in spite of the physical pain she endured. It has been a few years since I have seen Marlene, but certainly I have never forgotten her beautiful smile and positive attitude. RIP, Marlene.
