My heart is heavy for my father. My father not only lost his father, but his best friend. A friend that he could call on, a man of character, a man of respect, the true description of a Father. That was my grandfather. My family will truly miss our Paw-Paw. We loved him and will never forget him. Though he is not here, he will always be in our hearts. Love, Michael & Belinda St.Romain, Adrienne, Bailey & Abi St.Romain, and the grand children, Jonas Rossyion, Gracie Lewis & Christian St.Romain.
