I remember your dad. I was just feeling nostalgic from childhood and looked it up. I remember you all living in the top corner of l'anse au brillant. I always had a crush on Toni. :) I hope your dad lived his best life. Also, do you remember that great apple tree near the broadroad road?

Dear Joey, Cyndi, Noella, Toni and Tina. No matter how old you are, it is never easy to lose a parent. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you grieve. Because I cannot be there, I'm holding you in my heart to comfort you.
Thank you Joyce for all these years you and my brother shared. I will forever be grateful for all the good care you gave him I hope that you find comfort in the good memories you have.
Sam, even if I did not get to see you as often as I would have liked, you were always in my heart. I am sure that Mom and Dad, Exibee and Bobby were all there to welcome you home. Rest in peace. Love to all.
Rosette

Message from Noella Emilie Girouard August 27, 2020

Oh, Dad...sleep deeply in God's memory, where there is no pain, physical or mental. For I am fully convinced that we will meet again, in the not so distant future, in Paradise!

My heart is with my Aunt Rosette, my Uncle Ulysse, and our dearest Joyce...all whom my Dad, and his girls, love very much!

Message from Tina-Marie Girouard August 26, 2020

Joyce...I feel for your loss, and with all my heart I pray that you will find comfort in the promise that our loving God, Jehovah says in: Revelation 21: 3,4,5
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say:
“Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be His people...and God himself will be with them. And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also He says: “ Write, for these words are faithful and true.”

And so never doubt, that the words our creator, our loving God WILL come true, we just need to learn and understand how to attain the gift He offer us!

May you feel comforted that we will always be there for you.

Tina

Message from Cyndi Girouard August 26, 2020

(Job 14:13-15)

Life, like a mist, appears for just a day,

Then disappears tomorrow.

All that we are can quickly fade away,

Replaced with tears and sorrow.

If a man should die, can he live again?

Hear the promise God has made:

He will call; The dead will answer.

They will live at his command.

For he will have a longing

For the work of his own hand.

So have faith, and do not wonder,

For our God can make us stand.

And we will live forever,

As the work of his own hand.

Message from Cyndi Girouard August 26, 2020

Dad, you are in our hearts and prayers and have left us with many fond memories, smiles and laughs. Joyce, you will forever be part of our family. May Jehovah's peace be with you at this time of loss for you!

I hug you deeply!!!!
