At L’Assomption, several thousand people came to the heart of the city to sing and celebrate the memory of Karl Tremblay. They were treated to an unexpected surprise: two members of the Cowboys Fringants came to greet them and thank them briefly.
Indeed, Jean-François Pauzé and Marie-Annick Lépine, both residents of L’Assomption, arrived around 8 p.m. in a marked car. Seeing them take the stage, the crowd exploded. The lights, candles and lanterns held at arm’s length quickly formed a sea of fireflies which surged from the stage to the street. Several spectators cried. Others shouted, “We love you.”
“Thank you very much on behalf of Karl,” said Jean-François Pauzé. Karl was a humble and modest person and he would have been the first to be surprised by all this love. It is very beautiful. »
