Pictured with Michèle-France, who passed away on Christmas Eve. We are heading back to France, tomorrow, to celebrate my belle-mère's life. I will share Jean-Marc's tribute to his mother in the next post. Thank you all for the tenderness you shared in the comments. Our family is deeply touched. –Kristi

Kristi…the time comes to us all. We can only hope that we have left good memories for the next generation and hopefully a whole lot of loving moments to cherish (which I am sure your belle-mere has done…) Bon courage!
Kristi and J.M.
Well, you were children before but now you are adults. Not only adults but orphans. It is a big step in life. How wonderful that you hadJ.M ‘s mother for so many years. Especially with your own children. The memories will remain and grow dearer with passing time. My heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with you all.
I hope so much you will be living in France, Kristi. And I hope so much that Jean-Marc’s sadness will pass soon. Here’s to great memories of a magnificent woman.

I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful belle-mère. The only way most of us know her is through what you have written about her over the years, which is lovely. She leaves a beautiful legacy through your family. My prayers are with you all.
Kristi and JM:
I send hugs and love to you for this difficult time. My mom passed on Christmas morning 2009, so I understand the sadness of losing a loved one around the holidays. Each year, I light a candle for mom on Christmas morning and I feel like she is present with us in the candlelight. My aunt died on the 26th and we just had a family gathering Friday for her memorial. It was good to see family I had not seen in years, even through our tears. So many great memories were shared. Lean on your loved ones and know that Michele-France is happy and a beautiful angel now, always present and ever-loving. Bisous.
So saddened to learn of the loss of your Belle-Mere, Kristi. So difficult at any time and especially during the Holidays! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
My Condolences to you and Jean-Marc and your family on the loss of his mother. May the rest of the year bring you only happy occasions.
So very sorry for your loss. Holding you and your family in my thoughts. Hugs from California.
Oh, Kristi and jean Marc, Jackie and Max,
I am so deeply sorry that this beautiful lady has moved away. Sat and looked at that lovely picture several minutes, afraid of what clicking on would tell me. What a delightful one she was and I know you will miss her so much. Kristi, thank you for sharing her with us and giving us an opportunity to feel this loss with all of you. Wish I could bring food and help in some way. Please feel the warmth and love I’m sure everyone is sending and know you are your family are genuinely loved. God’s blessings and safe travels home. You’re in my prayers. Jacqueline Pope

What a wonderful and comforting post. Good advice and felt like a loving hug.
May her soul rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon her. Condolences to all the family.
I’m so deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your belle-mere. I’ve followed your posts since I moved to France over 10 years ago, and have come to feel like I know your family as well as my own.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Kristi,
You write so beautifully about your beloved belle mere. I feel your pain, never to see, to hear, to touch this person again, it is the hardest part of life to accept this fact and allow these universal feelings of loss bind us in empathy together here on earth. Your generosity of spirit is an inspiration to me. I grieve along with you, for my own recent losses as well. Let’s take each day one at a time, cherishing our memories and
comforting ourselves in the simple pleasures of everyday life.
My best to you and your family.
