Mon amour,
Ton sens de l’humour, ta grande générosité et ton immense bonté resteront à jamais gravés dans nos cœurs.
Je garderai toujours en souvenir l’homme exceptionnel que tu étais, toujours à mes côtés pendant 55 ans, me comblant d’amour, d’attention et de mille petites surprises.
Tu as été mon soutien, mon ange gardien, et tu cherchais constamment des façons de rendre la vie de Natasha spéciale. Tu étais un père formidable.
Profite de ton dernier grand voyage, où qu’il te mène.
Bon voyage, mon amour.
