Valérie Plante in mourning: “The shock was brutal”

Valérie Plante, the mayor of Montreal, is currently in mourning, a news that we learned on her socials.

Indeed, she informed us of the death of a loved one, her father, with a message and a very touching photo.

“My dad is gone. He left us suddenly, but gently in his sleep. His health had been more fragile for a year. This did not prevent him from migrating south in the fall with his sweet, beloved Loulou. A father is a daughter’s first love. Mine always believed in me. He showed me that you can dream and reach your goals when you put your heart into your work. In my blood flows this will to all tests which was his”, she said in homage to her father.

“I realized yesterday that no one would ever answer me again when I said ‘ Daddy‘. The shock was brutal. Now begins the long apprenticeship of continuing to move forward, to laugh and to cry, without him in our lives”, adds Valérie Plante, a passage that shakes by its truth.

All our sympathies to Valerie Plante and her family.
