Mrs Cote and family,
My family wishes to extend our sincere sympathy to you all. Mr Cote was a very special person to me. One of the most sincere and friendly gentleman that I had the pleasure to know. Always had a handshake and a warm smile to greet me. A man of faith. May he realize what he believed in.
