The decease of my dearest wife Nicole BILLIAU had taken everybody by surprise …everybody was astonished at this and shocked …
A year long she defied with great courage and without complain her illness , but finally she loosed the fight …
Always we were together and we did always everything together , even our hobby : “Photography” , which brought us much pleasure and more than that : a lot of acquaintances and many , many GOOD FRIENDS …
It’s very heart-warming in the period your “soul mate” is taken away from you and you stay alone , you receive so many condolences and wishes to have much courage …
Nicole will stay not only in my heart , but I am sure also in the heart of all who know her and we will remember her as a “ bright , friendly , frank , sincere and active person , who promotes the photography and specially the Friendship ….
Along here I thank everybody for their sincere condolences and their deepest sympathy …
