My sincere condolence goes out to the Ivan Paradis family. Remember he is now with Jesus and no longer suffering. A loss is very hard to accept but time will heal. He will not be forgotten for his humorous stories and his kindness. Thank you Ivan for blessing me and making me laugh when we went clamming with my Dad. God bless you for ever.
