Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

To the family of Andre DuPont,
We are so sorry to hear of Andre's passing. We built our house across the street from your mom and dad on Overlook Drive. They were wonderful neighbors. Andre always shared with us vegetables from his garden. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
