My dear cousins, I'm so broken over the loss of my Uncle Roland - he was like a second father, irreplacible and wonderful. They don't make them like that anymore. Guess that's why they are the "greatest generation". I'm so happy to know he's with Auntie Freda again and is not suffering. God Bless him and I love all of you so much and cherish all the memories we will always share. Jane

Paul, John, Mary, Jennifer, Joshua, Eric, Brian, Kelly, and Julie,
The loss of a loved one is never easy. Pepere was a wonderful father and grandfather who always put his family first. He will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved him. May you all find comfort in the memories that are yours to cherish forever. Just imagine how happy he is now with Memere by his side. He is right where he wants to be and is not suffering any more. I love you all and want you to know that I am thinking of you during this difficult time.

Mr. Bourgea,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
