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 today among you for his funeral, but could not make it.
I wish you all force and courage to overpass his loss, and deep inside of me I am happy to figure out Anahid and George somewhere together again.
My deep condolences, in armenian we say "hasdavdz ira hokin loussavore"(may God illuminate his soul).
Kindly keep me posted with his cimetary location so that I will able to visit him during my next trip in New York.
Gianke tsezi (Life on you)

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.
