I am so sorry for you loss madame Demers and family. Mr. Demers holds a very special place in my heart. He was a gentle giant who took time to teach a simple guy like me math. No one else could but he made it simple for me. Worlds greatest teacher as far as i'm concerned. Psalms 23 Yea, though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear mo evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and i will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. May Jesus bless you all - Posted by: Stephane L'Heureux (Student) on: Oct 12, 2013
