Jerome's Two Little Boys & His Beautiful Wife

Sebastian, on the left is Caroline's Husband...Michel, his daughter Caroline, & Alain

Jerome and his father Michel, I remember seeing photos of Jerome as a little chubby boy, What a Handsome Gentleman he grew up to be.

The Most Famous Smile in Paris is the Mona Lisa Smile...The most Beautiful Smile is The Smile of Caroline! Her smile lights up a room!! This is the beautiful daughter of my Mother's Cousin Michel & Marie Claude.

"Monsieur Didier Levy " My Mother's Uncle. What an honor it was to meet him. An extremely intelligent man, who recited to me every American President....to the current President Barack Obama .... I have been told by his daughter in law.. his favorite pharse is " Do you Know?" because it seems this genuis does know just about everything! He was a little disappointed that My Mother did not teach me French, but he quickly forgave me when I said " Je t' Amie" I love you, he gave me a beautiful smile! Merci Beaucoup , I will always remember his smile!!

A Place at the table for Colette's Daughter..... After years of believing I would never find a place where I would fit in, I found the perfect place where I knew I truly belonged , here at this table with My Mother's family... from left to write Serge, Michel, Brigitte, Alain, Gisele and me.
