September 2020: It is with deepest sorrow that we inform you of the passing away of our beloved mother, Claude Bouscharain. She was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother and talented artist . We will always remember her wonderful sense of humour, gentleness and elegance and how she taught us to see beauty in the smallest , simplest of things.
