Chère Eléanor,
C’est avec une profonde tristesse que Jane et moi avons appris le décès brutal de Norbert. Aussi, je vous présente à vous Eléanor, à vos enfants Cillian et Grainne, à vos petits-enfants, ainsi qu’à toute votre famille, mes très sincères condoléances, dans ce moment douloureux.
Je n’oublierai jamais Norbert. C’était un homme discret, intelligent, chaleureux, passionné, attentif aux autres, toujours de bonne rencontre, avec son petit sourire, et ses mots pleins d’humour teintés parfois de malice.
Jane et moi étions vraiment heureux de vivre à vos côtés, dans le camping lumineux de St Georges de Didonne, paisible au printemps et animé l’été.
Vous formiez, tous les deux, un couple extraordinaire, plein de tendresse, plein d’amour devrais-je dire, élégant et raffiné.
J’ai toujours considéré Norbert, comme un véritable gentleman. Son souvenir restera à jamais gravé dans ma mémoire.
Chère Eléanor, la vie est cruelle quand elle sépare les époux. Je sais que vos enfants et vos proches amis vous apporteront protection et amour dans le moment présent et pour le futur. Votre foi profonde vous aidera aussi à affronter cette difficile épreuve.
Bien affectueusement.
Michel LALANNE
