Ma chère tante Adette, Mes meilleurs souvenirs avec toi sont quand j'étais jeune dans notre pays d'origine, Haïti, en visite chez toi! Je me souviens que tu nous envoyais de la soupe Joumou à la maison le 1er Janvier. Ta gentillesse était toujours au premier plan pour moi et mon frère Josué. Plus récemment, je me souviens que tu m'as aidé à construire un arbre généalogique de la famille Lherisson. C'était le plus beau cadeau que tu aurais pu me faire! Grâce à Faby et à sa connaissance de tes besoins en matière de santé et la généalogie familiale dans la maladie, j'ai pris conscience et j'ai commencé mes soins préventifs au début de mes trentaine. C'était le deuxième plus beau cadeau que j'ai reçu de toi! Ta force, ta volonté de vivre ainsi que le soutien et l'amour que Faby t'a montré au cours des 17 dernières années sont un bel exemple pour une fille à une mère. Cousine germaine une fois éloignée, nous sommes restées par l'intermédiaire de mon père Jean Camy Lherisson jusqu'à ton dernier jour. J'espère te revoir une fois de plus grâce à la promesse aimante de la résurrection trouvée dans le livre de Jean 5:28, 29 par le vrai Dieu Jéhovah. Je t'aime ma chère tante Adette. Faby, courage, courage, courage. Tu te sentiras seule, mais sache que tu ne l'es pas. Nourris-toi des bons souvenirs que tu as eu avec ta mère et avance. Prends soin de toi à partir de maintenant ma chère. Mes sincères condoléances de Julio et moi. Nous t’aimons.

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to express what a pleasure it was to meet you and your mother recently. It was truly a wonderful moment, and I cherish the time we spent together. I am deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Bernadette. She was a remarkable person whose warmth and kindness touched the lives of many. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Bernadette will always be remembered fondly and will remain in our hearts. As we reflect on her life, I find comfort in the words of 2 Corinthians 5:1: “For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.” This verse reminds us that while we may lose our loved ones from this world, they live on in a place of peace and love. Wishing you and your family strength and comfort in the days ahead. With deepest sympathy, Courtney Butler Front office manager at white river inn and suites
