Dear Joyce & Family, we were so saddened by the death of your Dad. He was a wonderful person. He & your Mom were so very good to Michael when he lived with them as a child. Michael never forgot that & often spoke of the time he spent with them. Your Dad always had a hug & a smile when ever we saw him which unfortunately was not often enough. You & your family were truly lucky to have had him in your lives,he will be missed. Love Michael & Jen Laferriere. [email protected]
