    My Sincerest Sympathy to the Bibeau Family during this difficult time. Sometimes mere words are not enough to express our thoughts, yet I would like you to know that I share your pain. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard but always near. Still loved, still missed and held very dear. I pray that hope will sustain you, friends will surround you and their love and support gives you strength.
