The René Angélil legacy

[Jessyka]

Breaks my heart see her trembling with the rose in her hands. Love her

 

 

I lost it when I saw it.

Last night was the hardest thing I've had to watch probably in my life. Regardless of it being Celine to see any other human being going through that was tough to witness. There is no question that Celine greeted every single person because she wanted to and she felt everyone's love, warmth and support and those things are vitally important to her at the moment. I've no doubt she'll cherish yesterday for the rest of her life.

 

Today will be equally, if not more, tough for her and the family and again we will share their pain. My respect and love for the woman continues to grow. She is remarkable.

The PIC on the Instagram account of Céline RC and Michel leaving is so sad

[scielle]

Photo of Celine leaving the church (outside after it had ended) with RC and her brother. More photos on that IG account

 

What she did yesterday was epic. And the way these two - Michel and RC - have been there for her through it all was just beautiful.

So, the day has come, right?

 

Rene's funeral is the last chapter of an era. It may sound weird to some people, but I feel like I'm saying goodbye to a friend. I'm really sad, not only as a Celine fan, but also as a music fan. This man managed to make Celine an international star, thanks to her unique voice, and gave us the opportunity to have her in our lives.

 

Without Rene, I wouldn't have met the rock of my life. Through Celine's music and her strength, she stood by my side as a true friend. She was there when I felt alone, when nobody had time to be with me. Their love for life was a great inspiration to me when my dad was diagnosed with cancer, when my grandfather passed away, they helped me to move on, to feel and give love to people around me, to find true values in my life, to appreciate what has been given to me. Although I've never met them, I have so many memories with them...

 

Rene, I owe you so much. Rest in peace, my friend. Celine and your beautiful children are in good hands, our hands. Vole, Rene. Va retrouver la lumiere!

No speech from Céline, she only received condolences, shaked hand and huged everyone for hours !

I wish she didn't do these... It must be very tired and heartbreaking for her

René, may you rest in peace!

 

Your spirit and love will stay here forever! With the ones you loved - and with the ones that loved you.

Another heartbreaking picture of them, leaving the church. :cry:

Still can't sleep...one question to those who watched on TV when did the broadcast begin for TV? Was it before or after they greeted the family? And when did it end. Did anyone air it non stop until the feed cut out? For those who saw it online for Global/Et Canada at least we saw almost everything...

I believe yesterday's events were only shown via the online stream. Today's ceremony will be broadcast on TV and online.

sorry I did not see that. thanks

[DionFanAlways]

Wow the video of her trembling just sent chills down my spine :cry: :cry: I didn't see that part.

 

I pray that she doesn't do this kind of "M&G" today. Please don't Celine.

I can't find the link anymore, can anyone repost that little video that she looks at Rene's casket than walks away please

Today will be difficult to watch. I lost it completely when she was shaking and seeing RC cry. I'm going to have to watch secretly at work and don't know if I can hold it together at work. Poor Celine, what she did yesterday, there are no words. I am in awe. She is my hero always!

It's exactly what I would have said. Céline and René were with me every single moment in my life. When my mom passed away because of a cancer, when I was graduate, when I kissed for the first time, when I fell in love. They were with me for 7 long chemo that allow me today to be in remission for 4 years. She was in my ears all day, and René was there throught her music.

 

I lost a friend, a trully wonderful friend who I will miss terribly. If you love Céline, you love René. And we love him so much.

 

No words can descibre what we are experiencing right now.

 

I just want to send my love to the most incredible woman in the world and tell her THANK YOU for being who she is.

 

I'm so proud to be your fan Céline. Love U.

It's so nice to see that you haven't forgot about me after all these years.

It was so hard to see her like that. She's suffering from much. But at the same time, I really felt she needed every single words from everybody. We always say how much she love her fans, but tonight was beyond anything I ever felt. I told her: You offered us the greatest and most beautiful love story. We'll never forget about your husband. I am here today because for me, you and you're family are also my family (She started crying there...) I also told her to take really care of herself. And that I love her. She had one arm on me and the other one in the casket. It was just so hard to live this moment.

 

I have been invited by my boss, who's a famous interviewer here in Montreal to assist the funerals tomorrow.

 

I'll make you proud again.

 

Thankyou for sharing, and thankyou for going qnd giving those kind words. Beautifully said, I'm in tears.

Oh my god, I just woke up and checked this forum I can't believe she actually greeted for 10 hours, and was at the church for 14 hours. What can't this woman do?! She's freaking immortal it seems. (No reference pun to song.)

I have just seen this report about yesterdays viewing. Out of most that I have seen, I feel like this one sums up the enormity of what Celine did yesterday...

This is from last night's CTV National News. I posted a link to the full newscast earlier, which is basically the same video but with a lovely intro so worth watching this one while it's still up.
