I still remember playing with Rachel and all the kids including Mark after school at the Braud house behind Westdale, Mr. Braud was always busy working on something and showing us what he was doing. Such a great father...so sad to lose these wonderful men that brought us up and taught us to be the best we could be. Hugs, love and prayers to all the family.

My deepest condolences to the Braud family. I did not know Mr. Braud personally but they say you most often can judge someone by their offspring. If that is true Mr. Braud must have been among the Best of the Best because his son Paul, My Friend is the best. I feel sure that is a direct reflection of a good Godly man. My prayer is for peace and comfort in the days to come for this sweet family of which I love. So sorry I'm not there for the service but my thoughts will be with you on Thursday
