Today, Mom was buried in Montmartre cemetery.
The ceremony was very beautiful, outdoors, in an alley of the cemetery. The priest gave the blessing, I read a prayer of Francis of Assisi, and I said a few words about mom.
Then we went to Bistrot Montmartre, where we could raise a glass to his memory, the sound of some songs typically Parisian. The ambience was perfect, happy and relaxed, just like Mom had wished.
Anastasia, in her pretty dress, danced and did some pirouettes. From the above, I know Mom was happy and proud to see her and twirl and delight family and friends.
Mom sits in the 29th Division, 7th row, at 20 ave de la Croix. It is not just a tomb housing a beautiful tree. If you go there, just give her a hello, she will be delighted.
I want to thank everyone who took the time to read the posts on this blog mom or Doctissimo, and those who have contributed through the forum or via comments. You've all been very supportive.
A very special thank you to all staff home medical Jeanne Garnier, doctors, nurses, aides, volunteers, all of which were copies of professionalism and humanity. If Mom is a party in peace, it is thanks to you.
Voila, all is said ...
Eric

And life goes on ...
