Françoise, thank you for being in our lives. You brought humor, adventure, care, and love into them all. Words cannot express our feelings of shock and sadness at your sudden departure. Our hearts go out to Lionel and Rafael and to your grandchildren. You have a long history with us. When you came, as an exchange student in the 1960s to Scotland, you met my mum's family, the Cunninghams, and were 'adopted' by them (5 sisters, 1 brother). They were immediately taken by you and you by them. My grandmother (nana) adored you. (She didn't adore 'anyone'! But she did, you.) From the Cunninghams came the Dixons, Glimos, Grieves and along with us, wherever we were - the U.S., Denmark, Scotland - there was always also our other 'family member' Françoise. You never left us. We never left you. You are, and will always be, family.
