Chef Violier proved to be a passionate chef with an amazing talent for the gourmet cuisine...who fought to make a great name for himself successfully ...I know that no words could ease the grief, and that every family is different in their journey of healing. But, our Heavenly Father can become your Stronghold in these moments of need. May the family be granted strength and comfort to endure.
