Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Words are inadequate to assuage the loss of one's father. As the days enfold his spiritual presence will surface and you'll be at peace and comforted by his nearness. You and your family are in our prayers. Remember the joy-filled days and the love of all of us! May our paths cross soon. We miss you!

A Special Person! If we are fortunate in our lifetime, we will come upon a special person who leaves a remarkable impression on us. I met such a person some fifteen years ago. When this special gentleman--gentle-man--was introduced to me by his daughter, Barbara, a special friendship began. When I addressed him as Mr. Ouellette, he looked up at me, smiled, and said,"My name is Roger." That did it--the 'shy me' felt right at home. Roger's personality and sense of humor led everyone to call him 'friend,' and want to be in his presence. Though he is no longer with his wonderful family, and friends, we will always feel his presence and kindness among us. To know Roger was to love him. He had a way about him, that could make one smile, when they would feel like crying. Thank you, God, for puting this gentle-man into our lives.

Barbara and family. We offer you our love and deepest sympathies. The Ouellette family has always been a part of our lives - Mary like the "other" daughter. Karen was very upset when I told her about Roger - she immediately started talking about the "good old days" at Lake Lytal. You have so many good memories.
God bless you and know that other's care.

Mary and family, If I would never have met your dad I would have known what a wonderful man he was just by knowing what wonderful children he had. How lucky you all were to have been fathered by him.
And MOM how lucky you were to have been married to such a wonderful man for 52 years.
May peace be in your hearts,
Love to you all AUNT LINDA
