Cher Henri-Paul,

Thank you for your friendship to my mother and for always phoning her on her birthday, which was also your birthday! Maurice (mon pere) and Molly(Auntie Ducks) enjoyed your company so - you were always so enthusiastic about the Lanouette family and your research was phenomenal. You did it the hard way - before the www got involved in organising our lifestyles! But, hay , without it I would never have got to sign your guest book. Fond memories - may you rest in peace with your beloved wife, daughter and granddaughter. You leave a great legacy and the family have a piece of history that you diligently compiled for over 20 years (to my knowledge). Much love and abientot, Diane - Angleterre

To all the Lanouette family, my condolences to all of you from my family. We all grew up together and your father helped us grow as boy scouts and friends. Everyone touches someone and Henry touched a part of all of our hearts. God Bless him and his family.

From your little corner of paradise, may you have the pleasure to count all the Lanouettes on earth as you have searched for them for so long. I assured you that I would keep the Lanouette flame burning, and you may count on me to continue your good work.

You nurtured the bonds of friendship through your grace and charm and never hesitated to spread joy and happiness around you.

We will not forget you, our « frog » as you liked to be called, as you so proudly sang the songs your ancestors taught you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, May their burden be lessened with the thoughts that you are resting in peace.

Meeting Henry online in the Rivard Forum was a blessing to me. His gentle, kind spirit came through his words. He will be greatly missed. "Le Frog" is now with all his family and those he knew only as names on paper.

Thank you Henry for being a part of my life..You have blessed me much.

As one of the many Rivard cousins who shared a passion for genealogy, I will miss my dear Henry. Even his nickname, "le frog," made us smile! We were blessed to know him and have him among us. My prayers are with his family, for I know he is now at peace.

Mon cher Henri-Paul,

De ton petit coin de paradis, tu as enfin le plaisir de compter tous les Lanouette de la terre, toi qui les a cherchés pendant si longtemps. Je t'ai assuré de garder la flamme vive en comptant sur toi pour guider mes pas. Je te ferai honneur, n'en doute pas.

Par ta grâce et ton charme, tu as nourri les liens de l'amitié. et su répandre la joie et la bonne humeur autour de toi.

Chante haut et fort les chansons de tes ancêtres que tu as tant tenu à apprendre.

Mon cher Henri-Paul, ce n'est qu'un au revoir.

Repose en paix, tu l'as bien mérité.

Amitiés,

Gisèle et David
