Bro Claude and family:
It was such a pleasure to know your dad. One could see Jesus in his face. He was a great man. He truly loved God and his family. May you find peace in feeling his presence more now than before. As the seasons change and the rising and setting of the sun. The beauty of the trees and flowers. Will remind you of God awesome love and His ever presence in our time of sorrow. May God give you peace, joy and laughter in days ahead as you remember your precious dad.
Our love and prayers are with each of you.
We love you,
