You knew and loved him dear Paul, he was like you because he loved LIFE and he was as generous as you know how to be - you like him, you are among those whom God has put on Earth to show that there is only one valid MUSIC here on earth: THE JOY OF BEING. I know you love me, Paul, and you know, you feel that I love you too, because friends like you can be counted on the fingers of one hand. All the best to you. KISSES. Susy and Henri TISOT.
