You may not remember me (Emile Laquerre) mother Yvonne (Pelletier) father John Baptist. My brother John Laquerre is Fran's God mother. I'm sorry to read about her passing. I used to visit frequently when I was stationed at NAS South Weymouth Ma. in the Navy, then I got transferd to San Diego Ca. and we lost touch. Since than, I retired from the Navy, worked for Sikorsky aircraft and completely retired to beautiful Corpus Christi Tx. I'm a proud GRANDFATHER of several and enjoy being retired. My sisters Yvette, Lucille and brother all live in the Woonsocket area which I try to visit once a year. I would love to connect sometime when I'm in the area.

Sorry for your loss. I met Fern while working at her residence. She became my adopted grand mother. Will miss her smile and our talks.
