My husband, Al, worked for Mr. Parenteau as a custom upholsterer for many years. He was a wonderful person and a great employer and we are so sorry to hear of his passing. He treated his employees as friends and we will always remember him. Our condolences to his family.

The Wilson Family enjoyed our visit with Paul and Suzanne last Summer and misses Paul very much

To all the Parenteau's..
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your dad was a great guy and it's terrible to hear this happened. Below is a poem I'm using to get me through mom's death and maybe it will help you.
All my love, Pati Lynn
I'M THERE INSIDE YOUR HEART
Right now I'm in a different place,
And though we seem apart,
I'm closer than I ever was ...
I'm there inside your heart.
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright,
I'm there to share the sunsets, too ...
I'm with you every night.
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall ...
I'll still be there for you.
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me ...
Forever in my heart.
