Dear Geraldine,
I was really humbled to take part to this Memorial. Thank you for allowing me to.
Hearing all these testimonies about Mma Fraser's life made me think of an tunisian proverb that says "who has left a good legacy in people's hearts is never gone".
Granny's life was a one of bravery, patience, generosity and love as an answer to injustice and sometimes unfairness, and She will continue to live through you as you demonstrate the same qualities.
When my father passed away I was crying in silence in the plane taking me back to Tunisia for the funerals. A Pakistani steward came and asked 'Sir are you ok ? ' Someboday said that i just lost my father and the Pakistani said something that i'd never forget : "your father went to Paradise, so why are you sad ? "
Your Mommy went to Paradise , so don't be sad.
