Chère Kristi:

Bonne Année to you and your family. Amicalement, Janine
Bonne année and may your belle-mère stay in you hearts and memories always.
Sweet memories will be in your hearts forever! Bonne annee a vous tous, et gros bisous!
Dear Kristi, It is so hard for you all to start a new year with such a sad loss and my heart goes out to you. There is so little anyone can say or do in these circumstances that is of any use or comfort. Loss, sorrow and grief are hard work and take time which never fully heals the pain. The only “advice” I ever found in the slightest helpful was – think what the person who died would have wanted. Probably to be remembered and missed with some tears and sadness, but also to be remembered for all the good and positive things on their side and yours. Someone who loved you is not going to want you to be overwhelmed with grief for too long. They would want you to be happy and remember with love and smiles. We would I think want this for all those we will one day leave behind.
Bonne année à toute ta famille…avec des très beaux souvenirs de ta belle-mère. xoxo Kate
et la même chose pour vous. tout le meilleur de la nouvelle année.
Chère famille Espinasse,
Je vous envoie mes meilleurs vœux pour un nouvel an plein de la bonne santé, la prospérité, et
l’amitié.

You were blessed to be in her life, and she was blessed to have you both.

So sad for your deep loss at his time. It is always the wrong time, somehow. All the best to you in the New Year.
Happy New Year. Thank you for you continuing posts!
Jean-Marc and Kristi,
Your dear Michèle-France may have left you but memories of her never will. May your hearts be filled with those memories in 2018…and forever after.
Chére Kristi, Cher Jean-Marc,
Je suis bien triste d’apprendre les nouvelles tristes de votre belle-mère/mère. Que vous ayez à jamais les beaux souvenirs de sa vie et son amour pour vous et toute votre famille.
bien amicalement,
Bill Goff
I am so very, very sorry for the loss of your belle-mere. My sincere condolences to you all. My prayers are with you all for your comfort in this horrible time of grief.
Kristi, So very sorry to hear of the passing of Jean-Marc’s mother. I suspect that knowing you as we do here virtually, that she was blessed to be part of your family. To share in your joyous moments must have made her heart sing! Thinking of you both! Jan Greene in frigid Cape Cod
Bonne Année Kristi. My deepest sympathies to you, Jean-Marc and your family on Michèle-France’s passing. The loss of one’s mother is most definitely a life altering event. Sweet memories help you through, but, as Jean-Marc commented, it marks a new chapter in one’s life.
-Leslie
My mother died in October and I feel I am just winging the grief process. I think what helps is really paying attention and respecting your own pace and the needs of you and your family. I imagine there is more ritual and understanding in France than here. I hope to slow down to take in more fully what happened and who this person was in the new year. The paperwork is soul-killing, but remembering is sweet. Take good care going forward!
So sorry for your loss, Kristi.
Quelle belle photo de vous deux! Kristi, et Jean-Marc, mes pensees vous accompagnent lors de cette epreuve difficile. Bon courage!
Kristi & famille,
Sincere condolences on the loss of your dear belle-mère, mère & grande-mère!
Kristi, Je suis vraiment désolée, Toutes mes condoléances à vous, à Jean Marc et à toute la famille. Kathryn MacCullough
Chère Kristi,
Je suis tellement désolée quand j’ai appris que ta belle-mére est morte. Michele-France doit être une femme formidable et sympathique. J’espère que tu puisses eventuellement penser d’elle sans tristesse. Ma mére est morte il y a 17 ans et je pense d’elle et de mon père chaque jour, mais maintenant je ne pleure pas comme au début.
I wish words could help you and Jean-Marc at this time of great loss. Bon courage! – Lorena à Wilmington Delaware
So very sorry to hear of the loss of your belle-mère. It’s so very sad to lose someone we love dearly. Safe travels back to France et Bonne année!
oops…meant to reply to Kristi!.
