Pat and family, we were shocked to hear the news of your dear son's death. I'm sorry that we missed the funeral but were out of the country. Nothing is worse than losing a child and I cannot fathom what you must be going through. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your wife and family.

Dear Janet and Pat:
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel on the tragic loss of your precious son, James.
We remember James as a baby and little boy and even then he had the brightest smile and sparkling eyes.
We are thinking of you and wishing you hope in the midst of your sorrow and pain.
With our deepest sympathy,
Suzanne Bisson and Joseph Tracz

Dear Janet,Pat & Matthew
We are so sorry for your great loss. Your Dad has always found solace in poetry - maybe this little poem will help along the way in finding inner peace & strength:
The Broken Cord
We little knew that day that God
Was going to call your name
In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same
It breaks our hearts to lose you
You do not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
You left us peaceful memories
Your love is still our guide
And though we cannot see you
You’re always at our side
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us, one by one
The chain will link again
Our very deepest sympathy
