THANK YOU: The family of the late Lester Gaudette would like to express their appreciation and gratitude to all who participated in his funeral proceedings. To the Hayes Funeral Home in Chapeau, Thank you for holding the visitation, and arranging to have him brought home to the island to be laid to rest. To the relatives and friends who contributed to the purchase, preparation and serving of food at the luncheon, Thank you. Thank you to the many who attended the visitation and Funeral services, it meant so much to us. To the St. Joseph’s Church choir led by Colleen Fleming on the organ, to our cousin Donna, and Aunt Theresa and their group for performing “Hallelujah” at the offertory, Thank you for sharing your gift of music, it was truly beautiful. Thank you those who opened the grave and closed it after the service. To all who made contributions to organizations such as the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and the St. Joseph’s Cemetery Fund in our Father’s name, those who bought flowers and purchased Mass Cards, Thank you. Last but certainly not least, thank you Father Tim Moyle. The mass was beautiful and your homily was well thought out and expressed, with a personal touch. It brought a lot of comfort and peace to help us all through a difficult time. All of you made it easy for us to understand why our father wanted to be brought “home” for his final rest.                  The Gaudette Family
