Dear Rob and Christa and family, So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers for you at this difficult time.
Dear Mr. Malcolm's family, Mr. Malcolm was a great guy. I loved spending time and walking around outside with him. I liked being his helper. He always helped me when I was sad or not feeling well. He taught us how to play fairly outside. I miss you and love you. I am praying for your family. Avery Grade 3 St. Kateri

Helene, my dear sister....your loving Alex was a compassionate, gentle, warm and courageous man. In the last 12 weeks of his life, he provided me with a gift that will always stay with me...he shared with me his life, his travels, he needs, his pain and his fears. I know he cared for you and loved you deeply until his last breathe. He will be greatly missed in your life and in many lives. May Jesus provide you peace and comfort in the days to come and may you always feel Alex's love in your heart! And, Alex...it is now your time to fly with the angels! Love you Helene. Your sister, Dianne Ducharme.
