to the Jeanfreau family:
You don't know me but Edmond and I went to St. Rose de Lima grammar school and graduating in 1946. Like most school mates, we lost contact after that. I went on to Holy Cross and finished high school at St. Stanislaus in Bay St. Louis, Ms. He was always a quiet and peaceful person.
One of your Deacons, Mark Coudrain is the son of another of our classmates, Deacon Eddie Coudrain who died several years ago.
Edmond seems not to have changed very much in appearance, and I'm sure his peaceful demeanor continued.
Eddie Coudrain and I renewed our friendship as we studied and were Ordained together in 1980.
Prayers and condolences are with you at this time.

I am so sorry about Mr. E.J.'s passing. I have wonderful memories of the whole family from my childhood. All of the parties and holidays at the Picou's house were even more special because of the Jeanfreau's love and spirit. Keeping ya'll in my heart and prayers.
When I saw this in today's paper, I broke down a cried. We spoke recently and I was hopeful to drive over for a visit. Edmond and his business partner Lewis were my prize customers for years in my budding real estate career and we did many investment properties for them. I know Marie and most of his children through the years of friendship which this family gave me. I know he is comfortable in Heaven visiting with many. of his friends and hopefully my wife and mother. Many prayers forward for you my friend!!
Dear Jeanfreau Family,
Paran was an amazing Uncle and mentor in my life. As a child we were such a close family. I cherish all the Sunday lunches, holiday, swim parties, Lake Ramsy trips we all spent together. As an adult I always enjoyed our rich conversations on my career and his wisdom on business but also his solid faith in Jesus and our Catholic religion.
Our heart and prayer are with all of you at this time of loss and change. Paran will be missed very much but never forgotten. He truly left a legacy to all.
Love & Prayers,
Joanie & Pete Caruso
