My dearest Uncle Hector. I had the privilege of calling you my Godfather and you stepped into those shoes with grace, wisdom, guidance and prayer. Uncle Hector, you and Auntie Marie were there for me especially when it seemed everyone else left. Your strength and comfort were guiding lights for Emilie and I too in our time of need.
May God keep you high in the heavens as an angel to look over all of us. Love is always and forever.
Sending our deepest condolences Marie Cecile and family
My sympathies to his wife and family. He had a great life. RIP Hector
Mes plus sincères sympathies à la famille et particulièrement à Marie Cecile. Marie Cecile, Hector et toi étiez tous les deux de bons amis de mes parents dans leurs moments de besoin. Tu étais la cousine de ma mère et j’espère que tu m’accepteras aussi comme une cousine. J’irai te visiter à la fin de juillet quand je serai au Moine. Bon courage.
