I was so sorry to hear that you had lost your Dad. Dennis worked for my Dad a long time and he was such a jokester! My parents loved your Mom and Dad and had so much fun with them. Your Mom and Dad are finally together again and I know that they are so happy. Know that you are all in my prayers and in my heart.

Castonguay family, nothing compares to the pain we experience from losing a loved one. We wanted to offer our support and comfort. Notice God's words of support at 1 Peter 5:6,7 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time,while you throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you."

Darrell, Darren, Kevin, Tina and Donna,
I am very sorry for your loss. I will never forget the laughs and stories you dad shared. From ice fishing, to sitting around the house he will be deeply missed by all.
