To the Cloutier Family,

My prayers and sympathy are with all of you. I didn't know Mr Cloutier but I know Pat well through the Air Force Reserves where he has always been a respected member of our family here. I'm sure that rubbed off from his Dad.

I was told when my Dad passed away recently at the age of 74, that he is now in heaven with God at the age of 32, which was Christ's age when he died for us. Mr Cloutier is with God at the age of 32 also.

With deepest sympathy for your loss.
