Dear Vadenais Family -
Well, I have no doubt that there is now another angel in Heaven. . .
I will always remember Mr. V as not only a gentleman, but a gentle man - kind and caring to all. He loved you all with a quiet manner and was loyal and trusting. Always proud of his family, he inspired everyone to aspire to high standards.

Dear Sally,
I am very sorry for your loss. Normand was a wonderful man. I will especially miss him on Sundays at Honey Dew for his chocolate donut. I will keep you and the rest of your family in my prayers.

From the stories that have been told by Kristen, I pass this on knowing that it was written about someone like Normand.....
Think of someone you know who is "a person of good character." Lock his or her image in your mind. Now take a moment to reflect on the things this person says and does...the personal characteristics that make him or her a role model for you. What comes to mind? What do you see?
Chances are that high on the list of your role model's qualities is COMMITMENT - the unwavering dedication to being a good family member and friend...to doing his or her best at work and away from the job...to doing what's right, noble, and decent.
Committed people like your role model just seem to have their heads and hearts in the right place. They keep their priorities straight. They stay focused on what's important. They know, inherently, that what they believe must drive how they behave - and how they behave ultimately determines the character they possess, the reputation they enjoy, and the legacy they leave.
My heartfelt sympathies to the family,

Grandpa,

I am very proud of you. You were a good man, and had a kind soul. I wish I had had the courage to say this to you in person. I love you, and will always have a special place in my heart for you. I will miss playing chess with you and making sand sharks.
