When I was in Grade 7,I was hospitalized for several weeks. One day Courtney came to visit me at the hospital. She brought magazines for me to read. She stayed and visited me for quite a while. She was the only person from school who ever came to see me. I never forgot that day.  Thank You Courtney.
Love Cheryl

So sorry to hear this sad news. 
Condolences from: The Foskett Family 

My heart felt condolences to Courtney's family and friends.  I was lucky enough to know Courtney in our high school days.  I always loved and admired her free spirit.  My fondest memory is going for walks with her and just talking and stopping in for slushies at the DQ in Whitby.  Over the years I have told stories to my husband of myself and a girl called Courtney. I think of those memories now and I smile.  Thank you Courtney for those cherished memories and rest in peace my friend. 

To Courtney’s Family,  “Words Fall Short Of Expressing My Sorrow For Your Loss. May I Offer My Most Heart Felt And Sincerest Condolences To You All At This Most Difficult Time”.

For all of my life and when I can remember Courtney doted on me. She was my God mother and cared very deeply for me in this regard. 
I will never forget how her eyes would light up when she saw me and she made me feel special as a young girl and adult.

Every birthday I was lovingly sent a card and small gift that she made for me 

 She then  extended this tradition  onto my daughter's Raquel and  Isabella. Raquel would receive little books, jewelry and notes that she wrote just for her. Raquel was delighted to receive something special in the mail , it was a great surprise to a young child. 
 
Since the day of Isabella's birth ( born in 2013)  Courtney automatically knew the importance of making handmade blankets, slippers and a wallhanging for her bedroom (it was up above her crib for 3 years) that she needed to have these things. 

As it  would ; she continued her loving traditions sending gifts  onto Isabella . At the beginning of every October and December I knew a package would come for  Isabella in the  mail for birthdays and Christmas. No one else has done this as Courtney did. She made us feel so special. 

Isabella and I looked around the house and saw so many of the hand made items from Courtney ( book marks, pillow cases, embroidered pictures, slippers, blankets etc) 

Isabella said "I am going to miss the things Courtney sent me mom" which made me break down. It is not the "things'  we are going to miss....its that fact that someone ent out of their way to take the time to make something by hand with another person in their mind and heart, 
Courtney, you were a really good, decent, kind and caring person and the world needs more people like you... Thank you for making me and my girls feel loved and adored. I will make sure to pass on your traditions even though I cannot make creations like yours, I will pass on kindness and humility.

You are missed

After many years I was able to reconnect with Courtney.
For this I am thankful.
Her passing is such a shock. My heartfelt condolences to Courtneys family.
R.I.P. Beautiful Lady..


RIP Courtney...thank you for all the knitted gifts that you have sent me for Christmas over the years..God Bless you sweety..😘

Courtney and I were very close during our high school years.  We along with Joan were inseparable during that time.  We had lots of great times together; each of us learning to drive, driving in her VW bug, lunching together and listening to music.  I have many happy memories of her and am truly sad at hearing of her death.  My sincere condolences to her family at this difficult time.

Today, I give thanks again to our God and Saviour for Courtney Maheu.  I give thanks that she came into my life.  Courtney was a woman of integrity.  She believed in women having respect and dignity and she fought for this right and today we realise and enjoy the benefits and get the recognition and also see how far we have come because of the fight that people like Courtney led in the 1980s.   
Rest in peace dear friend.  Thank you for fiercely standing up for me.   I did not have to ask for it.  You just gave out of the goodness of your heart.  You will always be in my heart.  We sing, "It is well with my soul" and "Because He Lives".  We shall meet again in Heaven and laugh and be joyful and share our stories.  There will be no pain, no disappointments.  Just praise because He lives.
