"Endearing press secretary, funny and generous, communications strategist, your determination was scary and nothing and no one could resist you. You demanded top billing and spectacular media coverage. The journalists knew it and respected a score written by you.

"It is now up to all of us to orchestrate your Farewell Symphony. Now glued-tight against Georges-Hébert, your great love found again, enjoy the show without false notes that we offer you, with a heavy heart and a blurred look."
She continued: "I know you will continue to take care of us mom. You have taught and given me a lot; I loved you, I love you and will always love you... Celine xx…"
As she finished her tribute, she heartbreakingly asked her: "P.S. Can I ask you one last little favour? Kiss Rene for me..."
