Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday I did some short eulogies for people that passed away in my riding. I'm going continue to do the same and finish those up.
[English translation not provided.] Today I would like to send my deepest condolences to the family of the late Noel Michael Francois, who sadly, passed away on November 14, 2015, more commonly known as Michael. Michael was born on August 30, 1982. He loved learning. He loved school and excelled in math, and did very well in calculus with a mechanical engineering program he completed at NAIT. Michael loved his boys, his parents, sisters, family. Michael's boys will follow in Michael's footsteps. They both excel in math and enjoy hockey, and are very sweet, well-mannered sons. Before becoming ill, Michael enjoyed working as a math and science tutor for the after-school program down at the Ndilo school. He planned to go back to school to complete his engineering program. He enjoyed playing the bass and he was always an Oilers fan, no matter what. He would have enjoyed Connor McDavid. Michael leaves behind his children Isaiah and Hayden Boucher-Francois; his parents Mike and Mary Jane Francois; his sisters Diane, Jackie, Mary Ann, Stella, Berna, Bernice, Helen; and his brother Sean. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who loved him, and he loved them, and cousins and friends across the North.
I would like to send my deepest condolences to the Boucher-Beaulieu family of the late Isadore Boniface Boucher-Beaulieu of Fort Resolution. He was born September 20, 1988 and passed away February 6, 2015. Isadore enjoyed playing video games and riding around with his friends. He was a very kind-hearted young man who suffered from cancer since 2000. Even though he was sick, he did not show it. He always put his friends and family first. He was a very strong young man who did not show any pain. Isadore is survived by his mother Catherine Boucher and his father Leon Beaulieu; brother Brendan; sisters Elizabeth, Leanne, and Isabelle; and two nieces, Emily and Piper. Isadore will be sadly missed by all his friends and family in Fort Resolution, and all over the North. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
