in deepest sympathy in the loss of your dear husband Al. Please know that i have you and your family in my prayers during this difficult time. May he RIP.
Praying comfort for the family during this time.
Even though I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Brouillard, I did have a class or two with Jill, so it’s obvious to me that anyone able to raise a young lady like her must have been a really special person. To the entire family, along with all those who miss him most, may God’s matchless grace, mercy and peace carry you across this bridge, and far beyond………….Matthew11:28 – 30.
