Her daughter was therefore found ninety-five years later.
After seeing the letter, Michele Primeau explained that he immediately recognized his father's handwriting even though the message was written about twenty years before his birth.

The entrepreneur will have it framed and she will exhibit it on board her boat or in her store.
