Our deepest sympathies for your loss. We have many happy memories of your Dad from young ages and more recently, it was a joy to hear that he had the grace of age and reflectiveness to foster the development of special relationships with his grandchildren and lasting memories with his very dear daughters. We have lost our Dads, yet heavan has gained some incredible men who dedicated themselves to raising their families and providing for our futures. May Mr. Stewart rest in peace and look over us. A friend recently said the following and it brought a lot of comfort, so we offer it to you; Catharine, Jesse, Liz and Bec, hoping it does the same for each of you: "Always remember: your Dad in not your past, rather is in your future for eternity." With much love, Eric, Joanne and Denise Boucher
