Mr. Lebrun,
I did not have the opportunity to meet with your family, but had the pleasure to talk with you and your mother on the telephone, lately.
My grand-mother Hermina LeBrun, was the sister of your grand-father Josaphat LeBrun. My home town of St-Bonaventure is only 15 miles from St-David, where your father was born.
Please accept my condoleances

Dear LeBrun Family:
My sincerest condolences on the passing of Arthur. From what I know of him he led a long and full life. My Mother Patricia traveled with him to work at the Davisville Seabee Base for many years. I recall the times he would come to the house to pick her up in the morning and drop her off her off at night. Again please accept my heartfelt condolences and may the memory of him give you much joy.

In my heart, there is nothing but wonderful memories of Uncle Arthur. He had a unique ability to lift our hearts when he entered a room. His visits to Hartford were among the very best childhood memories I have and will cherish forever. Although our hearts are heavy today, our memories of the great times spent with Uncle will last a lifetime.

To My Aunt Rita and My Cousin Roger:
You know how much Uncle Arthur meant to all of us in the LeBeau family and our extended families. He will be so greatly missed. But, we all have very fond and wonderful memories of him that we will hold in our hearts forever. He filled our childhood with laughter and love. He was a very, very special person in our lives and are so grateful to have known him.
