Dear, Dear Gaby, Nicholas, and Valerie my heart goes out to you and your extended family for your days ahead 💔. As an uncle he was exceptional in so many ways! My thoughts are full of all the precious memories of his humour, his dancing, his handsomeness, his joie de vivre (!), his kindness, our conversations, his stories, his outlook on life and the way he lived it ❤️❤️❤️❤️. From visits in Canada, our road trip to Mount Blanc with Uncle Paul, being welcomed in Coppet while backpacking thru Europe, his visit to Lyon while I was there, filling in as an paire after Valerie was born and the 3 months of being part of the household, and then spending a wkd with my own 2 little ones in Tannay, and later the wonderful visit in Uzes with you all with Hilde, Yacoba, and my youngest daughter, Meghan.... All these memories are full of joy and love and I look forward seeing you with a warm embrace in June to share in the sadness of him not being there but still feeling his closeness then and always! May all the wonderful memories of what a special person he was and what a privilege it was to have him in our lives give you strength and courage through this difficult time.
With much love,
Christine xoxoxo
