Lemoyne Baquet
May 12, 2020
We two hope never to forget the precious moments that we shared with Mother when she visited us in Egypt, Israel/Palestine and Austria and later, with husband Gene, in Ireland and Switzerland, from where we ventured into the Alps of France and Italy.
As her son, I hope Mother knew how much I appreciated her imparting to me, among other things, the importance of education.
Mother always strove to do the right thing.
And she constantly and thoughtfully tuned into the needs of others.
Both of us will forever miss her.
Lemoyne and Jacqueline
