Recently our friend Babeth died. We were all members of Phoenix en Claise, a group which very successfully brings together all nationalities living in the area who like to walk, dance or make music. We participated in the walking together.

A few years ago she started having back problems, which just got worse. Eventually she was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer. Immunotherapy doubled her life expectancy, but in the end no further treatment was effective.
An animal lover, Babeth could never resist offering a handful of grass to any horse we passed.
She is a sad loss to the group. Much too young to die, for a start, and enjoying retirement. She was immensely houseproud and a tireless housekeeper. Kind and gentle, with a ready smile, she loved to chat with anyone walking beside her on the trail.

She will be missed by everyone in the group, and our hearts go out to her husband Fabrice and their (adult) children.

She was a lovely person and will be missed by us all. It's tragic that she died so young and reminds us all to live every day to the full, because you never know what's around the corner.
