Il y a quarante ans vous avez été mon professeur de français à Dio. Toujours vous étiez gentille et encourageante avec toutes votre étudiantes. Tout le monde vous a aimé. Vous étiez une belle dame et professeur formidable. Je ne vous oublierai jamais. Au revoir et que Dieu vous bénisse.

Ma Riri si jolie,

"Si tu as peur des ténèbres allume une bougie" était votre citation préférée...
ce fichu ordinateur ne connait pas la France, alors, comme notre douce amitié, je ne connaitrai pas de frontière...
Votre mignonne forever. Nathalie

Mon professeur, mon amie...on ne s'est jamais parle en anglais, je ne peux pas commencer maintenant...je peux te voir sourire, murmurer 'ah mon chou'. Quelle joie de vivre, quel sens d'humour, quelle sagesse, quelle intelligence. Ah Riri, tu vas me manquer. Sois rassuree que je n'ai pas oublie tes mots, mais pour le moment, laisses-moi etre triste. Bisous, Philippe.

Chere Riri. I won't write in French because you won't be happy with my grammatical errors I am sure. You have been a part of our lives for 25 years - know that we will always treasure the memories, your stories, all the laughter and love you shared. You have touched everyone who meets you and will always have a place in everyone's hearts. Au-revoir notre Riri, and every time I have rumballs, it will be one of the things that will always remind me of you. Lisa Bourgogne.
