I always remember our Happy Times in Riverdale, Manhattan , at Birdland JazzClub , in Paris ; George & Anahid will stay forever in the bottom of our heart...

Dear little Anahid, Maro, Greg,

I met your father in the late 90's and we started our relationship by producing together Datevik's last album "listen to my heart".
Then, we became friends, as a life gift for me. Anahid and George visited us few times in France and we visited them many times in Riverdale. I have in mind our dinner at the Yacht Club or the traditional "aperitif" with Uncle Lionel on Sundays, and so much more scrumptious moments...

I was looking of being present...

To the Avakian Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
