How deepest sympathy to the family
Ur cousin Yvon Arseneault from Rogersville RIP
My sincere condolences to Rob and the rest of your family.
How do you find the words to honor someone so close to your heart? Saying goodbye to my sister is one of the most heartbreaking experiences i have experienced. My big sister was a little bit of my childhood that can never be replaced or forgotten. She was a friend and confidente. I am heartbroken that I will never know again the joy of laughing with her again.
Rest softly dear sister. You are forever cherished.
Rod, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. Please know that I am thinking of you and your family.
Take care,
Sjaan
