Michael and family, I was just looking at the funeral home website and saw your Mom's obituary. I am so sorry to hear about her passing away. My Mom used to love her and she was such a nice lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time!

Dear Mike, I wish that I knew how to take your pain away. I do know that your mother is with Jesus, looking down and saying how proud she is of her son. No Mother could have had a better son than you Mike. Your Mother is at your side now, as she was throughout your entire life. You all will always be in my nightly prayers.

Dear Mike, There are no words which I know to lessen the pain which you are now feeling. You are in my nightly prayers always, and now I shall add your dear mother. Please take solace in the fact that you had your mother's advice and love for so long. As I am aware you already know, your mother is in Heaven with Jesus, looking down upon you with all of the pride that any mother could have, saying: "I will be by your side forever, Mike, so take heart, you have given me everything that any son could give to his mother...you gave me LOVE!"

Blessed are those who die in the Lord, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them (Rev 14:13). Heartfelt condolences to the Girouards family. May God bring you peace, and the memories of the times you all shared bring you comfort.

The first time I met Mrs. Girouard she was dancing with her son. Now she is dancing with our Father. My prayers are with your family. Love and peace to all of you.
