In the same way that after her father's death Celine appeared at the Billboard Music Awards with an unexpected dress, IMO these photos are her way of telling us that she is fine. Bravo Celine!

the picture was taken before her mother’s death

I imagine she'll do the show on the 21st and hold the funeral later in the week. At least she has Michel with her so they can grieve together. Hope Linda also flew in from Vegas in time to be with Maman on Thursday.

 

Adhemar is buried in Charlemagne, not Montreal, correct? Presumably that's where Therese will be as well?

Hard times for Celine indeed. Anyway, her mother has lived a long, great life. She has done amazing job with keeping her big family together, being there for each one of them every single time they needed her. It is surely sad now that she's gone but I'd rather celebrate her life than mourn her death for she is (I could never say 'was') a wonderful,inspiring peron.

[ryba]

She truly was an inspiration and a role model. It really saddens me that the world only appreciates great people after they are gone, and don’t care about them or criticize while they are still alive.

NIce to see this get picked up by BB.

It seems TVA is airing a Maman Dion special on Sunday night at 10pm. Hope it makes an appearance online for those of us outside QC.

 

They've also had some great interviews in the last day or so with people who knew her well (and of course are heavily in the Celine sphere) - Denise Bombardier, Joselito Michaud, Marie Claude Barette, Jean-Philippe Dion and others. Here's their initial reportage, plus bio-type story here.

 

In addition to the TVA special tonight, Julie Snyder also has a Maman Dion special set to air tomorrow evening: https://www.instagra.../p/B7hSBI5JepF/

 

I believe the TVA special at 10pm ET tonight should be here: https://videos.tva.ca/ (Click "en direct", might need a VPN).

Can someone explain the “Maman” nickname? I thought the word “mother” in French was “mere”..? How did she get the nickname...or is it quebecois dialect?

It's just "mum / mom / mommy" whereas mère is the more formal "mother". That's all.

 

Nothing much new in the TVA doc (though I didn't catch the entire thing). Mostly stock footage and things we've all probably already seen. Still, always nice to see pics of baby Celine :-)

 

This is new though. An interview with Julie Snyder - in English! Some fun anecdotes I haven't heard before.

I think mere or ma mere would translate to "mother/my mother" maman would be more slang like mom, mum, mama

I watched this special. It showed many rare pictures of the Dion family. It would be lovely if someone could post some of those rare pics to the forum. There was a picture I'd never seen before of Paul and Pauline as babies holding there mom and dad's hands. There was also some rare baby pics of Celine and childhood pictures of her too. I believe there was a pic of Celine as a kid with a red ribbon in her hair that I've never seen before. If someone could post some of these rare pics I would really appreciate it.

 

Edit: I forgot to mention about the young pics of Celine's mom and dad. I would love, love love to have those aswell!

This is Adhemar’s grave in Charlemagne. It looks like Therese will also be buried there.

Great docu from 2015. What a lovely lady. There is a segment, when they teared down the Dion house in Charlemagne (6:20).

RIP Maman Dion much strength to our beloved Celine and her family.

Let’s be real here. The reason why Rene’s funeral was so grand it’s because Rene himself planned all of that. But if Rene didn’t planned it, it will be a private funeral

René had a state funeral. It could never be a private funeral, unless the family had refused the honors of the Quebec government.

[Shamrock_1982]

Strange, catholic’s are usually buried within 2-4 days of dying unless it has already happened and we are yet to find out.

i thought céline said that rene planned it all that she didn’t know all of that. I’m sure i heard it before in one of her interviews....

it depends, some are even longer than that.

Yes it depends on many factors and it is not a rule for many years that catholic funeral has to be done in a short time. if the family wants maximum privacy it must be respected. But strange is that if it already happened that paparazzi didn´t take at least photo of the arrival and departure of Céline ...

[Angel2006]

I believe that the funeral hasn't happened yet, because surely the paparazzi would have a huge interest in something like this and wouldn't let a picture of Celine arriving or departing from the funeral go unseen. I have a feeling that the funeral will take place today, because today marks 1 week exactly since Celine's moms passing. Rene's funeral took place 1 week after he passed, so I figure the family would probably plan it around that same time frame. I think if not today, then the 26th. They surely wouldn't decide to have the funeral on RC's birthday. I hope they have it today (the 24th), because that's right before RC's birthday, plus it still leaves a good amount of days for Celine to recuperate and relax before going back onstage again.

Yes Rene planned the content and location, but he isn't likely to have known he'd be given a National Funeral or necessarily that it would be televised.

Yup rene planned it all so for Céline’s mom. I think it will be private
