Four months ago Lisette asked me to take a few portraits.
"For my children and grandchildren" she said, "before I die".
I told her there would be plenty of time as she was in very good condition
and enjoyed life in all it's facettes.

Lisette was always very keen on good photographs
and always had the best photographers to shoot her family pictures.
So I was very proud that she wanted ME to do this important shoot this time.

Today we burried her.
She just missed her 80th birthday.
She asked her children to put one of my pictures on the altar.

I will never forget her.
I owe her so much.

Une grande DAME.
