To all the Lefebvre family,

It is with much sorrow that I see that you've lost your father, grandfather and great grandfather. I feel blessed by my opportunity to have met Mr Lefebvre and the Mrs as well. It was always enjoyable to walk into your home and to greeted as if you were part of the family. Before I even met any of the children my dad would take me with him when he went to Marcel's BBQ. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies and pass along my best wishes to your mother.
Much Love from Paul Carriere

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Marcel!

Even though our paths haven't crossed in many years since leaving CVS Store Set-up. It was always a pleasure working with Marcel, Marc, & David throughout my Store Set-up years. I will always remember the smile that Marcel could bring to your face when you were having a tough day at work. He will be truly missed by all!

I would like to extend my condolences to the Lefebvre Family.

Marcel, Rest in Peace!
