To the Fournet family, I had the pleasure of growing up next door to the sweet Fournet family! I have FOND memories of both Mrs. & Mr. Fournet from childhood & early adulthood. Mrs. Fournet was the type of lady that her big heart was apparent and her kindness was genuine. Loved her hugs, conversations about how you were, and she was ALWAYS offering snacks (such the love language to a child!). I always admired how they kept their home so beautiful outside. I played with their Granddaughter, Tiffany, and remember thinking how lucky she was to have them both living next door and very present in her life! When I think of Mrs. Fournet, I will always carry her big hugs and wonderful ways in my heart. Praying for all of the family, she was a treasure! Love, Monica (Britain) Holm Dallas, Texas

To Uncle Maurice, and to Keith, Denise & their families.. We are so very sorry about the loss of Aunt Pic and send our condolences and prayers. She was such a fine person, and we truly enjoyed every moment we spent with her. She was the kind of family member you longed to live near to your whole life; it's a shame that distances separated us. So many people were blessed to have been a part of Aunt Pic's life at some point during the 95 years God blessed the Earth with her kind presence. Much Love and Sympathy, from Dave and Bonnie Marin Metairie, La

There is nobody in the world like Inez. She was a true lady, loving to all, accepting and caring. Inez was with my family during some of our worst days and that will never never be forgotten. She was the definition of a true friend. I loved her, and Maurice, deeply. Rest in the arms of our Lord, dear friend. You will be in our hearts until we meet again. :heart:
