Janet et la famille Besner,
Je tiens à vous exprimer mes plus sincères condoléances pour le départ d'Yvan, un cher ami et un frère des Chevaliers de Colomb. Il y aurait tant à dire sur l’homme qu’il était : une personne sur qui on pouvait toujours compter, rempli de joie et profondément attentionné. Sa présence va nous manquer énormément. Nous prions pour vous tous en ces moments si difficiles.
Avec toute ma sympathie.
David
