My memories of Alain were of his kindness, gentleness,
his love of the gospel, his caring for others,
even at the expense of his own needs at times.
I loved him the most because of his goodness to Donna, my sister.
I wanted her to be happy and he made her happy.
And Donna loved him.
They were kindred spirits in many ways.
I so appreciated his desire to help me solve a problem I had in my chicken coop
by helping me design and then make a wonderful tool
to help me clean out the chicken poop
in the 8 inches of pine shavings I use to keep the coop clean.
He worked and worked until he had it just right
and was so willing to listen to my needs.
I always marveled as Alain pushed along with life enduring physical pain
that few knew he suffered with.
He wouldn't let it get him down and he always had a smile
and a wonderful, warm greeting for everyone.
I loved that he loved so many.
I miss him
as I know so many also miss him but we will look forward to seeing his smile again some day.
He has been a wonderful example to me of Christlike love.
