Tante Jacqueline, Didier and Patty and family, Debbie and family, Pierre and Family, Lou, and Johnny:
May you find strength in this difficult time and great comfort in the rich and beautiful memories that Uncle Armand sowed in your lives and others in his special ways.
Our exceptional uncle Armand will be remembered as a loving, respectful, worthy, and welcoming person; a loyal and a protective spouse; and as a responsible and a giving father. Uncle Armand was a man of compassion who was full of life and goodness; his electrifying smile not only brought joy, but also emanated reassurance and confidence in others. Especially, he will be remembered as a man of few words with a strong divine presence. For, he was gifted with acceptance, he was prudent with judgment, and abundant in discernment. Simply, Uncle Armand would candidly express his wishes and expectations through his generous words of blessings.
A true: “Poto Mitan” has fallen! We join you in saying to our dear uncle: “rest in peace and forever you will be in our hearts.” Know and feel in your hearts, you will always be surrounded with his LOVE. He just stepped away to the other room and guess what… there, God, the angels, all those from the family who preceded him will welcome him… and surely auntie Yayanne will be at that rendezvous greeting him with humor and joy…
Goodbye our dear uncle, till we meet again….

All our condolences to the families, specifically auntie Jacqueline who was working very hard to keep uncle Armand well fed and healthy. Today God has decided to separate him from from his family, but one important thing he was serving God. May his soul Rest In Peace, and May the Lord continue blessing and strengthening auntie Jacqueline, his children, and all the families.
