Chere Yvonne
C’est une tristesse profonde que je ressent sachant que “notre Dr Mongeon” nous a quitte.
Tu le sais, sans doute, qu’il etait tres aime par l’equipe dans la salle d’operation.
Aujourd’hui, on se souvient de Roland et Yvonne-deux personnages qui faisait parti de notre groupe
P.S.les infirmieres se rencontre le dernier jeudi de chaque mois (6 a 8) pour dejeuner, chez Gloria’s
Tu seras tellement beinvenue!

Yvonne and family,
Even-though it has been a long time since we have been in touch, it was a shock to see that your dear Roland had passed away. We are so sorry for your loss.
We always found Roland to be a sweet person and a kind man.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Yvonne.

Dear Yvonne, Luc, Guy and Roxanne, Nicolas and Joel,
We were so saddened to pick up the morning paper and see the excellent photo of Roland accompanied by his Obituary. Although we haven’t kept in touch since Roland retired, we have thought of you both often and reminisced about good times in younger days, often as your guests.
We echo most of the sentiments posted herein by Linda Levesque regarding the Memo Team. Roland and Elwood were proud colleagues for most of their medical careers as part of the Memorial Hospital Anaesthesia Team. Yvonne, we value your friendship and share in your sorrow as you grieve the loss of your dear husband, father, and grandfather, Roland Mongeon, MD, FRCP(C)
With our heartfelt sympathy,
Elwood and Dale Dunn

Dear Yvonne and family
We would like to offer our condolences to you and your family on your loss. I worked with Rolly for many years as an OR and Recovery Room Nurse at Memorial Hospital. The OR/Recovery Room staff i worked with became my family as did the doctors and anaesthetists that worked there. There are so many cherished memories with Rolly from there, the staff pot lucks, the smiles, the jokes and laughter, the comraderie, the teamwork, the respect he gave us, the luscious fudge that Yvonne faithfully made every Christmas for all the staff and Rolly faithfully delivered it. All the staff so looked forward to it and cherished every bite. Rolly always treated all with respect and always with a smile. He will be sadly missed by the “old Memo Gang”. Rest in peace Rolly on behalf your many old friends at Memo.
