Hey Pépère,
I'm sorry it's been so long since I last wrote to you, I've just been out of sorts. I'm trying to heal, but it's not easy. I still hear your voice on occasion and I still see your smile on my dreams. Wish I could give you a hug... but I know we can in my dreams.
I love you so much and miss you even more.

Hey Pépère,
Still missing you like crazy. Still hurts to know you're gone from physical form... but I know you're here in spirit. Just hurts knowing your bear hugs and kisses are gone. Your goofy tooth joke won't be around. Just wish I saw you one last time before you passed or simply stayed longer when I did see you for the last time. I should have hugged you longer. Should have given more kisses... but I know you know how I feel. I know you're always with all of us. But I can't help but wish...
I love you so much, Pépère, forever and always.

My deepest and heartfelt condolences to the entire Bedard family and friends. Meeting Mr. Bedard thru his daughters I knew, he was a kind and gentle soul with gentle smile, his words of love for his entire family was very evident. Loosing someone we love so much, as I sadly very well know, is more then hard, a piece of us goes with them. I am sure he is watching over his loved ones and praying for all. May your memories of him sustain you all during the days, weeks and years to come till we hold our loved ones hands and never let go. God Bless all of you..... Pat, Karen, Patrick, Sean , Kyle, Garrett, Bridget and Aedan Hayes

"I know it hurt you;
It hurt me too,
But now that you're gone
All I know is I miss you.
You were there for so long,
I never thought you would leave.
I though you had another year
Waiting up your sleeve.
The day that you left
Was the saddest of my life.
I remember sitting at home
And crying all day and night.
I might be selfish
But I wish you were here,
Or if you stayed
For one more year.
I know you loved me,
And I still love you too.
So I'm trying to be strong
Just for you.
I know I'm not perfect.
I know I'll never be.
I just hope you're up there
And that you're proud of me.
You had to let go
Even though you were holding on for so long,
But there's not a day I don't think of you
And how you were so strong.
I just want to tell you
That you're always in my heart.
Even though I still cry
I know we're not apart"
Love you always Pepere, I'll meet you in my dreams!

Dear Shirley and family. We are so sorry to hear of Emile's passing. Jerry and I wanted to come to the wake, but with the bad snow storm and our driveway not being plowed, we were not able to get there. God must have wanted him to do some more important work. Emile sure did his share of God's work on Earth while he was here. Our hearts go out to you, Shirley and family, at this time. God bless. Alice and Jerry Lincoln.

Uncle Emile was a wonderful uncle - always supportive and ready with a bear hug whenever we saw him. I have great memories of the family trips we enjoyed together in Maine - Uncle Emile and my Dad (Bob) splashing in the freezing ocean waves:) We share your sorrow and will miss his warmth, mischievous smile and the love for his family. But I also know he has become another of the angels in heaven and will keep all of you in his loving watch, and never leave your side. Love,
Lisa (Dupuis)

Pépère,
Words cannot express how distraught we all are over your passing. You were one of the best men I have ever known. The best father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Your smile lit up the room, even more so your laughter. Your jokes were the absolute best, especially your sassy remarks. Your love for Mémère was a thing of fairytales and I believe we all are trying to aspire to that dream of true love. Nothing will ever be the same without you, but we all know you have ascended into Heaven and will forever be watching out for us. You truly were an Angel on earth.
Love, forever and always,
Samantha, Jacob, Emberlyn, and Liam

Emile was a first class gentleman,kind and a super athlete. One that we have always cherishd as a friend. As expected he continued being the same gentle friend that any one could have. Along with Shirley they created a family of five wondefull gals.
For me (Pete) my time with him both on the field as well as in school I continue to have had thoughts of those times many times. So with heavy hearts Janet and I say memory eternal. Janet and Peter Class of 1949..

Well, I still play it now. I am so proud to be able to tell people that you are my Dad. You will always live on in my heart! I will miss you terribly!!!!
