My sincere and heartfelt condolences are extended to the Rousell family, in particular, Mrs. Rousell, Alex and Jamie. The warm and gracious hospitality Mr. Rousell extended to me on my visit to your home will never be forgotten! We will continue to lift this wonderful family up in prayer. I pray for God's peace to envelope this family, the peace that transcends all understanding. Moreover, I pray that God will bless them with provision and strength during this season of loss and forevermore.

Our deepest condolences Jamie and your entire family.
We had the great privilege of calling Francois (Frankie Boy ) part of our Hearne Lake family in the NWT. His sense of humour, joy of life, love for fishing and friendship will always be remembered and in our hearts. We’ll always remember your big bear hugs as well.
Keep on fishing on the big lake in the sky.

So sad to hear of François' passing. He was a dedicated colleague who focused on the task at hand but also possessed a fabulous sense of humour. On a few occasions I had to chat with François on a personal level, it was clear how important his family was to him. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
