To Marie- I will always remember the care and love Armand gave to you . He was an example of what true love is.. I remember how he was so caring for you as he brought you into my hair salon. I use to joke with you and him , that he would have carried you in on a pillow if he could....I'm sure in his illness , you were as comforting to him..In your grief,I hope God blessings will comfort you with all the wonderful memories that you shared together.. In sympathy and friendship,Joe and Kelly Adamik(Kelly's Salon)

To Armand's family: It has been my privilege to take Communion to Armand and Marie over the past year. They were always so gracious that I looked forward to it. Due to a schedule conflict I will be unable to attend the memorial service which I regret. I will, however, keep Armand and all of you in my best thoughts and prayers. His heart is now at rest in God's.
