Dad, As I sit here today on your birthday and think of you I am sad that you are gone and I miss you dearly. At the same time I know that you are resting in God’s arms and that gives me some comfort. I think over and over of the things we did together and times we shared as Father and Daughter. I think of the many times when we made each other smile and laugh. I felt so safe just being with you. Your arms always comforted me and made me feel so secure. I am living my life but without you and it is so hard there is a void and emptiness in my heart. I miss being able to hug you and look into your eyes and tell you I LOVE YOU! Rest well Dad in God’s loving arms and know that you are thought of everyday.
Love always and forever, Your daughter, Helen. HAPPY 64th BIRTHDAY!

Salute, Henry. We went to grade school together and were neighbors on the East side. Your brother, Donald is my cousin’s (Darlene’s) husband and a best friend to her brother, Duane Petrovich. I wish you peace and blessings…..and the best to your family.

They say there is a reason
they say time will heal.
But neither time or any reason
will change the way we feel.
For no one knows our heartache
behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.
Dad, we want to tell you something
so there won’t be any doubt,
You are wonderful to think of
but so VERY HARD to live without,
Our Family Chain Is Now Broken.
But Our Memories Will Live Forever.
We Love You Dad

My deepest sympathy to your family – sorry for your loss.

Couillard family,
I’m currently serving in Iraq and unable to attend. I would like to express my deepest sympathies and regret on your loss.
To Mark, my longest and best friend, I wish I could be there but duty calls. Always remember, whatever happens I’m with you. At least when I’m home on leave he won’t call me “Wingnut”, but I’ll miss that also.
Sincerely, Kurt

We have alot of memories from vacation growing up and going to your home. The bonfires, and getting to play in the back yard when we were younger, and the brown fresh eggs that we did not like. We are going to miss Uncle Henry, but the memories will go on forever. We are praying for everyone, and sorry that we are unable to make it to the funeral. Take care and we will continue to pray for everyone.

Mrs. Couillard, You don’t know me I am sure, but I do remember Henry from school. I have been away from that neck of the woods for 40 years, but I would like to say I am sorry for your loss. May the Lord keep him in his loving arms.

Our heart and prayers go to Aunt Pat, Donna, Mark and Helen. The loss of Uncle Henry is extremely painful. He is loved very much. Our family is such a large, but close family that although we don’t see each other the way we wish we could, when we do, it was like we were just together yesterday. I’ll always remember the way he always joked around and got everyone going (definitely a Couillard trait). His Smile and his eyes, you could see the mischief and the love at the same time. I think all my cousins (Donna, Mark, & Helen ) inherited that! We love you guys and we have you in our prayers & thoughts. We’ll miss you Uncle Henry. The only comfort I have to offer is our love, all the memories and belief in the fact that Gramma Pru (and Gpa Couillard) was there waiting for him, and I do believe in that so I believe that we will all see him again.
