"To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die."
I will always remember Aime as a kind, compassionate, good hearted man who put his whole heart into life. He would always have a smile on his face when he came into the store. Years after I left he would see me out and about and always stop to chat and ask how I was. He was one of the most sincere people I had ever known. I can honestly say I will never forget him.
With deepest sympathy,
