Memories and Condolences
for George Marchand

Not sure what to say?





It will be 10 years this November Dad since you've gone. Mom passed a year ago on 4-3-22. She was never the same after you passed. None of us are. I love you both sooo very much and miss you terribly. A cup of coffee and some good conversation with you both on a Sunday morning sounds so good, I miss those days. I think of you both all the time. There's always a song, a scent, a cardinal, something that sparks a memory that makes me smile and or cry. But either way it comforts me. I just wanted to put this here. Cause I tend to come back and visit this day on occasion as it represents the day I lost my Dad, the wind beneath my wings, and my childhood. I hope you knew you were my hero. And that I could not have had better parents. Thank you both for loving and taking care of me, your whole life.

I miss you dad and I think about you everyday. I thought I had more time with you. I was so, so very wrong. You were the first man I ever fell in love with. You will be the last man to ever break my heart for my heart will never be as broken as it was the day you left us forever. I will love you always.....xo Mary
