A special thing about Mr. Jr. is that he was always smiling. Whenever I picture him it's with a smile on his face, which in turn puts a smile on my face. That's a wonderful gift to give others and one that I will always treasure. He and Annabelle were a very special and unique couple who welcomed me to their family with open arms. They will be missed but remembered in our hearts. All my love and sympathy to the the whole family. I love you all.

So long dad, you will always be in my heart. Now you can rest with momma and watch over us from above. You always took care of me without question, I will do the same with my children. I will miss working in the garden with you and will have to find someone else to answer my questions about why my tomatoes have brown spots. You are the best DAD XOXOXO

I never knew Mr. Joseph Lassus, but I will never forget my first day on my job. His son, Glenn, was the first one I met besides my boss and the person I was replacing. Glenn was so kind and considerate and made me feel very comfortable as though I had worked there for years. I'm sure his personality came from his dear father whom he spoke highly of quite frequently. My thoughts and prayers are with the Lassus family.
