Bien chères amies,
Seulement maintenant j'ai apris le décès de Elsa Gempeler. J'ai été particulièrement amie d'elle, car elle était l'"ombre" de Beatriz Salazar. On a travaillé ensemble des dizaines d'années et je les ai accompagnées pendant le fameux tour d'Europe en 1989, conclu à Londres, où Beatriz a connu son terrible destin.
Après, avec Maria Luisa et Elsa, nous avons continué le travail de Beatriz pendant mon mandat de Présidence 1990 - 94 et j'ai revu Elsa encore plusieures fois soit pour nos réunions périodiques soit pendant ses voyages en Suisse, soit encore pendant le mandat de Maria del Carmen au Mexique.
Elle était si habile à broder et à sculpter en bois, je garde bien ces souvenirs.
Son attachement au Sacré Coeur et à l'AMASC ont été un exemple spécial pout toute l'Association et son amitié a été précieuse pour tous.
Je désire vous envoyer l'expression de mes condoléances à toute l'Association de Colombie et à sa famille, si vous êtes en mesure de les rejoindre.
A vous toutes, même si je ne vous connais plus personnellement, toutes mes pensées les plus affectueuses.

Dear friends, Only now have I heard of the death of the Elsa Gempeler. I was particularly friendly with her because she was the "shadow" of Beatriz Salazar. We worked together for decades and I accompanied during the famous tour of Europe in 1989, concluded in London, where Beatriz met her terrible fate. Afterwards, with Maria Luisa and Elsa, we continued the work of Beatriz during my term as President of AMASC 1990-94 and saw Elsa several times for our regular meetings or during her travels in Switzerland, or even during the tenure of Maria del Carmen in Mexico. She was so skilled at embroidery and wood carving, I keep good memories. Her devotion to the Sacred Heart and AMASC have been a special example for whatever the association and its friendship was precious to all. I want to send you an expression of my condolences to the Association of Colombia and its family, if you are able to join them. To you all, even though I do not know you more personally, all my fondest thoughts. Maria Franca Migone Calvi
