Well Dad it will be 25 years in July since we lost you. I am here to tell you that your legacy lives on with all of us. Your kids, grandkids, and even great grandchildren know who you are and what family meant to you. I can never thank you enough for instilling in us how important it is to love each other and be there when needed. Miss you big bunches and wish you were here so we could have one more drink and talk about what has happened and also reminisce about the days gone by... Love you

We are so greatful to have spent your last day with you at the lake. The boys talk about you often and are always telling each other that you are in heaven now. Morgan says "HI Pepere" when we go to see Memere at the house. Thanks for always being someone we could count on and for teaching us what it means to live. I will never forget you telling us that "if you ever smoked again, it was because you did not love us."

We worked hard to keep you with us.. but deep down we knew you had gone to be with Jesus. THanks for all the vacations, yard sales, bean sandwiches and hot dogs and of course the phone calls to tell us "your looking good!"

Now you get to see Mikaela for yourself and see we gave you one great grandchild that looks like a Laverriere!

We love you and will never forget the memories.

Kelly, Brent, Trevor, Samuel, Morgan,and Mikaela Capener

Pepere,

We miss you terribly! It is so hard to see your empty chair on the porch or at the dining room table. You have been such an important part of our lives and the focus of so many of our fondest memories. We miss all of your jokes, your love of family, watching the patriots games together, Sunday night phone calls and so much more (even the tons of email forwards that you would send)! I know that you were hurting and often discouraged by the loss of your eyesight and that it was selfish of us to want you around forever. I'm so sorry! We are grateful that you were able to hold Marcus, if only for a little while and know now that you can watch him grow as his guardian angel. We love you very much and Pepere, "You're lookin' good"

Love, Brian, Jen & Marcus
