Will be missed by one and all, It was very good to see everyone come together in this very sad time. I hope this will bring all of us, those who were there and those who were not, closer together not apart. Gilles would have wanted us to celebrate life not mourn his death
love you

Cher cousin, ton départ m'a beaucoup touché et attristé. Même si nous ne nous voyons que très rarement, tu étais "mon meilleur cousin", la copie conforme de grand-papa. Mes pensées sont avec vous, Rachelle, Brigitte, Steeve et Martin et les enfants de Gilles.

Toutes mes sympathies, je vous aime! Sophie XX
