On the day of March 16th, 1996, we lost our father, Phonse to a suicide. We are still grieving and
struggle every minute,
hour and day without him, missing the one person we loved more than anything else in this
world.
This website was built out of love by his daughter jennifer, and was created in his memory to let
people who never met him know what an absolutely wonderful man he was.
and for those who knew him, to take time to reflect.
This is a poem that I found that relates to our Story
I Never knew when I woke that morning,
the grief that day would bring.
For the visit was sudden, the shock severe,
to part with the one I loved so dear.
No matter where I'm going,
no matter what I do,
there's never any moment,
when I do not think of you,
Only death will end my grief,
the wound to my heart is far too deep,
life goes on for some that's true,
but not for me since I lost you.
To some you may be forgotten,
to others a part of the past,
to me who loved and cherished you,
your memory will never be lost.
Your resting place I visit,
and tend your grave with care,
but no one knows the heartache,
when I have to leave you there.
