Hey daddy, I live by the ocean you would take me to every year… :) and I’m missing you so much right now. Your absence during everyday is so apparent and I struggled so hard in my life without you, but hey, I’m 4 years sober and I only need 14 more to reach you. I can’t wait to meet you across the stars but til then, I’ll look at them because you promised me that’s where you would be. Love you always, je t’aime toujours, Raquelly - Posted by: Raquel (Daughter ) on: Oct 28, 2023

To my brother, I think of you often and all the fun we had as kids and adults. You were such a great big brother. I miss you coming over and asking me to make you French toast. I miss your laugh the most. I know Justin and Caiti miss their favourite Uncle. You were such a big part of our lives. Love always . . . - Posted by: Norma Guiboche (Simard) (Sister) on: Nov 07, 2013

Hey daddy, I know you're looking down on us everyday and take care of us even from the other side. I can feel your strength and protection everywhere I go and within everything I do. I miss you a lot. I especially miss someone being excited whenever I would do something great. I know you would be there to tell everyone. I know you're proud of what I'm doing and how I'm thinking. I look forward to the moment I get to see you again and for you to tell me how proud you are of me. Until then, I'll continue to do the things I know would make you proud so that we have much to discuss. I love you. - Posted by: Raquel (Daughter) on: Jul 30, 2013
