Relation: Tish was married to my first cousin, Ray Tessier
Ray, there are few words to express how I feel for your loss. Even though we didn’t see or talk together over the years, you and Tish were always in my heart and mind. I am so very happy that you were both able to spend a part of your retirement travelling the countryside; how exciting. May the path forward be smooth knowing there are many family and friends who will have you and family wrapped in our thoughts and prayers as you make your way. Take good care of yourself. May Tish now rest in peace.
