Dear John,
Pascal and I will never, never forget the warmfull smile and kindness of Lila ( a french name for those delicate purple and white flowers that are blossoming now)
We moved 7 years ago, and I want you to know that very few people in business demonstrated such a great service for an emigrant family.
Que Dieu garde Lila dans sa tendresse en attendant vos retrouvailles à jamais.
WIth our deep and sincere sympathy
