Hugette was a wonderful lady full of life humor very smart knew people very well. In Arab land we call that knowing the birds and knowing in which direction it will fly . My relation with her was friendly and warm on social levels. I dealt with her in business locating an apartment to buy . There I discovered a different Hugette sharp as a whip on the ball a great lady that knew what she wanted nothing else mattered . I was very impressed with her savoir faire . I know she. Went to a better place she will praying for all of us . Albert which was the love of her life needs all our attention care and love he is a wonderful man to know . They made a beautiful blessed couple . Baroukh Dayan Ha Emet for Hugette
