Chère Monique, Suzanne, Louise, Jacques et Paul,

Veuillez accepter mes sincères sympathies par rapport au décès de votre père. Je garde de bons souvenirs de lui et de sa façon de m'agacer. J'ai bien apprécié l'été où il m'a donné un emploi à la Caisse populaire (j'avais 15 ans je crois).

J'espère que cette pensée vous réconfortera:
