Mes plus sincères condoléances à vous tous. Je ne pourrai pas assister aux funérailles, qui me rend triste. Chaques fois que j’étais à Chéticamp, je rendais visite à Michael au Foyer. Il était toujours de bonne humeur et avait toujours un sourire, j’ai beaucoup apprécié ces visites. Il avait une bonne âme, il va me manquer. Repose en paix Michael!!

Mes sincères condoléances à la famille de Michael. J’ai rencontré Michael au Foyer Père Fiset. Il était pour moi, l’ange gardien de mon père Patrice, toujours souriant, toujours de bonne humeure, toujours prêt à donner un coup de main aux autres résidents du foyer. Il a une place au ciel.
