Loved seeing the family pictures! Your family continues to grow! We had an addition on November 28. A third great grandchild for me to love. The baby was named Ferdie, much to my surprise! Wouldn’t great granddaddy, Pops, be so thrilled. He was so well loved by our grandchildren and this was quite an honor. Know he’s looking down with a great big smile. All is well with me. Just can’t believe I’m 83, but blessed with good health. God is Good…He’s Good to Me! I still miss your Mom, especially around Christmas! What fond memories of your grandparents and our piano time! Love you, Jule
Merci beaucoup pour vos bons vœux, à notre tour, nous souhaitons à vous deux et à toute votre famille, une très belle et heureuse année 2021.
chez nous aussi, la famille s’est agrandie, notre dernière petite-fille s’appelle Lucy, c’est la seconde fille de Alix. un petit amour de plus à chérir.
Nous n’habitons plus à Pinville, depuis 5 ans nous sommes à Villevieille à coté de Sommières et nous nous y plaisons beaucoup.
bien amicalement,
Cécile et Patrick Bergeault.
