Jacob Gauthier Obituary News: In loving memory of boy killed in Laval daycare bus crash.
In Laval, Quebec, church bells rang on Thursday as family and friends said sad goodbyes to one of the two young children who died last week when a bus crashed into a daycare.
At 11 a.m., the bells of the Ste. Rose de Lima church rang as five men carried Jacob Gauthier’s small white casket into the sanctuary. When it came out a little more than an hour later, after a private service, people were crying and following behind.
Last week, a funeral notice said that Jacob was four and a half years old and that his mother, father, sister, grandparents, and other relatives will miss him.
The parish priest, Michel Bouchard, was in charge of the ceremony for a child he had baptized just a few years before.
