The 23-year-old single mother died after getting stuck between her board and a tree while surfing on the LaSalle Rapids May 22.<\/p>\n<p>Her death was a great loss to the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoxane was super positive,\u201d says Melanie P\u00e9pin, one of the Suburban\u2019s advertising consultants. P\u00e9pin knew Roxanne because she was the cousin of her boyfriend, Dominic Cloutier. \u201cShe was a clown. She was always laughing. She made everyone laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first event in Roxane\u2019s honour takes place Thursday night at Le Skratch, 7803 Boulevard Newman, LaSalle starting at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>After that, there will be a giant garage sale in LaSalle on the weekend of the St. Jean Baptiste holiday.<\/p>\n<p>All the efforts underway will help Roxanne\u2019s mother Gis\u00e8le Claude care for her daughter\u2019s baby while mourning. She needs diapers, food and other goods right away and the baby will need money for an education later. A daycare spot also has to be found as quickly as possible. Roxane was on maternity leave from both her studies and her part-time position at the Metro. Claude doesn\u2019t qualify for parental leave until an adoption is completed. People are helping her complete the paperwork and other details, but it takes time. Roxane\u2019s father, Stephane Dub\u00e9, helps out when he can, particularly on mornings when Claude works at 5:30 a.m. The baby\u2019s father attended Roxane\u2019s burial, but he\u2019s since returned to a job in Nunavut.<\/p>\n<p>To help, P\u00e9pin is starting a foundation in Roxane\u2019s honour. For now, companies and individuals are free to drop off items for the family or for the garage sale at the Suburban office, 7575 Trans Canada Highway, suite 105.<\/p>\n<p>Hugo Lavictoire, a member of the Lachine Kayak Club will also collect goods at KSF SUP Surf and kayak, 7770 boul.
