I was just looking at old photo albums yesterday and saw some wonderful memories shared between your parents and ours. Not only was Dr. Benoit my favorite Optometrist but I shall always remember his smile and gentle manner. On behalf of the Gydé family, I would like to express our happiness by knowing your family as we grew up, and our prayers for your graceful mother as she reunites with your father. - Posted by: Laurie Gydé (Parents were friends with Dr. And Mrs. Benoit) on: Oct 21, 2015
