Guestbook
99 years; Amazing life. Most amazing is the lives she touched and impacted- mine included. Odette- touched mine along with her beautiful daughter through food. I lost my mother at a young age – she could cook- Odette and Mariette picked up where I had lost my mother; filled in the blanks that my mother left open. Opened theirs hearts and knowledge of food and grace- I am thankful that I was graced with knowing and learning from a beautiful french woman that took the time for me. Rest
Dear Mariette and family,

We will always remember her kindness and very positive spirit.
Please accept our deepest condolences.
We will keep her in our thoughts and prayers.
Love from
Alix, Rukmini and Arnaud & Cyril
