Our deepest sympathy, in the passing of Eva and Andre Roziere, we were unable to be at the funeral for Eva and hoped to go to Andre's, but since there is no service we wanted to make sure you know we wish we could have had a closer relationship, with both of them, it's too bad how we all get so busy raising our families and we don't take the time to spend time knowing our Uncles and aunts better. Both were wonderful people and will live on in all who knew them and shared their life, we did not know all the wonderful things they did, as stated in the obituaries, as a Roziere family, we wish we could get to know all our relations better ! Claude is one of Robert's son, the 3rd one. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all, Love Claude,& Agnes Roziere and family - Posted by: Agnes Roziere () on: Feb 26, 2012
