I need to enlist the help of my French speaking brethren!

Post Reply New Topic

My French teacher passed from this vale of tears a couple of days ago. I bought a card to send to her husband, but living in the extreme west of Canada, there are not a lot of French cards available, so I was going to write a few words of sympathy in French to buff out the lovely English sentiment. However, the problem is - I only completed the initial course; the second course was cancelled, and what I remember is a little shaky because the first course ended in November 07.

What I would like to say is "Jean, my prayers are with you. Fern was a good soul and will be missed" - or something like that.

I was going to babelfish it, but I don't fully trust it (because you have to phrase the sentence right or it does a straight translation, right or wrong).

If you can be of assistance, that would be wonderful!

Thanks...

According to freetranslation.com, it's "Jean, mes prières sont avec vous. Fern était une bonne âme et sera manquée". If you want a more reliable source, I can't help you...
