Following footsteps in the sand knowing he was leading my way feeling the warm sun hit my face, reaching my hand for his as I hear him call my name,I smile and feel the warmth of a tear on my cheek as I’m going to my forever home, you feel the warm breeze and think of me as I am with you even as you go. I’ll always be part of you as you travel, work and play, think of me in the sands of Florida to the spring and summer of Michigan. Laugh for me and smile because I followed his footsteps to my forever home. Ruby (home helper)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I feel like I knew this wonderful woman after all I have heard from Paul. I love that he loved his mother so much and he made sure everyone he knew heard how deep his respect and love was for her. Paul, I always respected that you boasted you were a self-proclaimed mama’s boy and proud of it! I know how dep this loss cuts, and I’m relieved you know she is in a better place with no pain and with dad again.
My deepest sympathy. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you besides making a donation in mom’s name.
Love, Cathy

Sue was a beautiful person who was always so nice to me whenever I visited John. I considered John one of my very best friends ever. Unfortunately, I found out about Sue’s passing late; and was unable to make the visitation or service. Gagneur family, please accept my sincere condolences.
