Chère Ann,

Quelle triste nouvelle. Je m'incline devant votre douleur et votre chagrin. Vous étiez un couple si exceptionnel qui avait toute notre affection et aussi notre admiration pour ce que vous avez fait au nom de l'amitié entre nos deux peuples et en particulier pour le jumelage entre Boston et Strasbourg. Pendant de longues années j'ai eu la chance et l'honneur d'être votre correspondant strasbourgeois. j'en garde un souvenir émouvant et reconnaissant. Bon courage pour cette épreuve. Vous êtes dans mes prières. Que Dieu vous garde!
