Sally, Sue & Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Sally and I quickly became good friends through work 15 years ago and through the years I got to know all of her family. Later on through work Sue also became a good friend and she is now my co-worker. Both were with my when my father became ill and offered their love and support when he died. They are two of my best friends and we have shared alot of good and sad time. I'm here for both of you and love you.

David is my grandfather. I, as with all of you, have shared in his life and know what kind of man he is. This message is not to him though because he knows how much I love and will miss him. This message is for all who write in this book. Thanks for letting me and my family know how speacial he really was to people outside of our family. For sharing all the things he did when we were not there to see. Thanks for helping us to remember him for all he was.
Bumpa we love you!

Dear Babara and kids, I'm so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I'll never forget when my father was having a heart attack and Dave tried to help him and comfort him while we waited for the ambulance to arrive. Please accept my condolences and remember, he's with God and in a better place. I hope he and my father are getting together to chat From Paula (Fortier) Turenne.
