We are so sorry to hear of Mr. Broussards passing. He was the so kind to our family!
We just found out today at Mass that he died last week because we had flown our special needs daughter to Philadelphia on June 8th for an evaluation and returned Thursday night.
Our deepest sympathies to his beautiful family. He will be missed.
Sincerely,
Paula and Mark Moreau
