Jacques,
This is Amy's Brother. I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Words cannot express the sorrow we feel in our hearts when we lose a parent. Although I don't know you, I feel I know you through Amy. She speaks fondly of you and considers you a good friend.

To the Riel Family,
We were saddened to learn of Joe's
passing. Even though, you may have known his time was near, it is still a terrible shock when the moment arrives.
There is nothing we can say or do right to help ease your pain but we want you to know that we share your sorrow.
May it comfort you to know that our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Our Sincere Condolences,
Bob, Elayne, Robert, Debbie
Shayne & Colin.

Joe, thank you. You have always shown such kindness and gentleness to your grandchildren and I. It's hard to see you go but I know you are in a better place with no pain and you take with you the love of many. I'm truly going to miss our lunches and wonderful conversations and thank you for giving me memories that I will keep forever.
