Thibeault Lionel

Dear Aunty Cecile, Pauline, Diane, Roger & Annette, I am very sad to hear your loss. Uncle John Paul was always such a gentle man and kind to everyone he met. It shows in his children... He was always interested in visiting with me when I saw him. I know that my Mom and Dad have helped prepare for his arrival in Heaven and he will be well received with open arms. Please let me know if there will be an Honor Guard by the Knights of Columbus, I would be honored to participate in the Honor Guard. I can be reached by phone or by email Lionel Thibeault (Gerry & Rita) 403-803-0939

My husband and I sympathize with you and your family on the loss of your husband and father. I remember when we would walk at least almost 3/4 of a mile to the main road to catch the bus. Many times we had to wait and wait for the school bus to pick us up. In winter it would get pretty cold and we were pretty young. I remember sometimes Jean Paul would offer us to come in his parents house so we would warm up! We were pretty happy to oblige! May your memories not only bring tears of sorrow but also tears of joyful times shared together.
