LE MÉE, Gilberte Simone

My Mémère’s hand could heal my hurt, or cool my fevered brow, I always knew that I was loved, by deeds, a hug or smile. Sometimes she was my playmate, and my mentor, too, I learned to take life as it came; That’s helped me my life through. I grew up and she grew old, yet our loves has no end, For I was blessed long as she lived ’cause Mémère was my friend. ‘Le meilleure Mémère au Monde. ‘We love you forever.

From Stephanie, James and Myles xxx.

I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. ‘(Mary Elizabeth Frye – 1932. )Our wonderful maman taken from us but finally reunited in spirit with Papa, her oldest son, Jean and her son-in-law, Gary.
