I didn't know Mr. Pouchet but I still
wanted to give my regards to the family. In times of loss, a message
from the bible, can give us comfort and hope. Please note the words of John 5:28-"Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear HIS voice and come out."
