Therese and family After many many tries i've finally been able to send you all our sincere condolences on the loss of Joe. It was always a pleasure to run into Joe during a visit to Louisdale...he was always bubbly and just as glad to see us as we were to see him...always asking the questions that only someone that genuinely cares about you would ask. I was disappointed that we could not get down to his wake and funeral...Life can be overwhelming and frustrating at times....Therese...with the support of your family and friends, we hope you can rebound from the loss and find comfort in the fact that someone that you loved eternally is no longer suffering...I know that Joe would not want you to grieve too much and to continue with life drawing on the storehouse of good memories hes left you all with...Looking forward to seeing you.

Joseph Marchand: Thérèse and family. You will perhaps not remember me but I was involved in the Toastmasters Club in Port Hawkesbury many years ago with Joe and Jim Marchand. I worked for a law firmin Town ,however, if I ever needed advise about heating or plumbing, Joe was always ready to give me top advice. We shared many happy meetings in Toastmasters and I have a picture of a year end celebration at the Provincial Park in Whycocomagh showing you and JOe and Jimand Brenda. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Marcellin Chiasson
