Décès d'Edgar de Chazal au Canada
J'ai le regret
de vous apprendre le décès de mon frère Edgar survenu
subitement hier matin, le 8 décembre 2008 à son domicile:
43 Carrier
Victoriaville
Québec G6T 0B6
Canada
tel:00-1-819-752-2996
Il nous a quitté
tranquillement à la suite d'un cancer qui a évolué très
rapidement car il devait être hospitalisé ce jour même à
Québec afin de recevoir un traitement à base de
radiothérapie et de chimiothérapie. Personnellement , je
pense qu'il s'agit là d'une grâce du Seigneur mettant un
terme à ses souffrances. Mais nous ne nous attendions pas à
une fin si ra pide qui laisse sa femme France, sa fille
Janique, son gendre Martin et ses trois petites filles dans
un certain état de choc et de surprise.
Je vous demande
donc d'avoir une pensée particulière pour lui et sa famille
dans vos prières et gardez les dans votre affection. Tout
spécialement pour ceux qu'il laisse car lui, je n'en doute
pas, a été accueilli par le Seigneur, son fils Thierry et
ses parents.
Il a retrouvé la
paix et la joie dans l'amour du Seigneur. Soyons heureux
pour lui.

ALIX
Mathilde Donald (>Eveline>Auguste) died on
Saturday 17th
May 2008
Alix was born on 11th
October 1918 in Orange Free State, South Africa. She
married Ian Donald on 16th
December 1937 in London. He was born on 27th
December 1910 in Cornwall, son of John Donald and Helen
Burrow Wilson. They have four children. |
These bald facts conceal the story of a
brave, interesting, strong character the likes of whom will
not be seen again.
Alix and her elder sister Ninette were
brought up on The Veld, in the almost featureless wilderness
of South Africa where The Enterprising went to make their
fortune from the land. It was rare that fortunes were made;
the work was unrelenting, the landscape dry and barren, the
skies big and beautiful.
For the two good-looking and intelligent
girls it was paradise, they had constant attention, open
space, no manufactured goods or toys, and their imagination
knew no bounds. Some today would say they were deprived, but
the freedom gave them character.
When Alix was about twelve years old it
was recognised that the sisters were special, they were given
scholarships it the New Church School in Durban. They quickly
caught up with their school mates and Alix passed her Matric
exam after only one years study. The New Church (Swedenborg)
Philosophy gave then a stable platform on which to build their
future.
Ian Donald had fallen in love with Alix
when she was a very young girl in South Africa; when she was
sixteen he arranged for the sisters to come to England, the
romance blossomed and they were married shortly before the
Second World War. Tessa was born about a year later, Caroline
(Caro) was born soon after the war and then a gap of about
seven years when Christina came into the world and about
twenty years after Tessa, Margaret (Noggy) was born..
Alix’s husband Ian was an interesting
man in his own right and Alix did much to support him in his
work. He researched and developed ultrasound for imaging
babies in the womb and was appointed Regius Professor of
Gynaecology at Glasgow University. He is well known for his
text book on obstetrics which is known by students the world
over as “THE DONALD”. He had strong views concerning the
evil of abortion. Alix travelled extensively with him on
lecture tours.
Alix passed away peacefully at the home
of Christina in the Orkney Islands, North of Scotland, having
three of her daughters around her, Tessa being unable to
travel from Norway. The funeral took place in The Orkneys on
24th May and there will be a memorial service on
Saturday 13th September 2008 in Glasgow to which
all are invited.

England and is well known as an artist. She started as a
taxidermist and has used her knowledge of anatomy to
create sculpture using recycled material. She is an
interesting person. From time to time there are articles
about her in our newspapers. She caused quite an
impression at a convention of taxidermists in the USA in
2007. |

Oscar's
London Marathon 2008
Fundraising Target £2000 |
|
Only 47
Days, 12 Hours, 36 Minutes, and 04 Seconds
left to train! |
|
|
|
 |
As you
may have already heard I have been accepted for the
2008 Flora London Marathon. This is my first marathon
- It's going to be tough but I'm finally ready to give
it a bash. I am also motivated by the knowledge that I
am following in the footsteps of previous great de
Chazals. I have plenty of training to do between now
and the big day so if you happen to be in a dark
corner of Guildford and something rushes by - it's
probably me. If you're there on the day look out for
number 016703. |
| I have
decided to raise money for charity for this event and
I would be very grateful if you would consider
sponsoring me. All money will go to SAVI. They are a
very worthy cause: a local charity and one of the few
that help partially-sighted as well as blind people.
You can pledge using the form below and I will remind
sponsors of their pledge after the event. This saves
the 5%+monthly fees which some sites charge.

Julien Anthony
Richard:
Youngest
child of Richard de Chazal and Gisele de Carcenac.
He
was born on
13th July 1945
in
Floral
,
Mauritius
. He went to the
USA
to study at The Louisiana
State University,
Baton Rouge
. He obtained a B.Sc. in
business administration. He is a bachelor and lives in
Australia
.
This is
a translation of Julien’s entry in the “Dictionaire” in
which every de Chazal and many of the de Chazal girls are
recorded. Julien has now passed into the next world (6th
or
7th Feb 2008
).
Julien was a private person and as he lived in
Australia
, so far from
Europe
, he was able to keep his life from us. He had a good job which he enjoyed
and was able to retire at an early age. It was with some
surprise and delight that I met him again at the de Chazal
reunion held in Charlotte NC. The sense of humour that I
remembered from our early days in
Mauritius
was still with him.
Julien
was good at entertaining and he had an excellent cellar in which
he took much pride. Soon after retirement he was diagnosed with
cancer. The doctors did a great deal for him but he did not have
any faith in them. He was able to be at his nephew Richard’s
wedding to Paula in
Madrid
, join the de Chazal
reunions in
South America
and again in
France
last year. At Rochefuret
he was ill and gradually fading and no doubt knew that this was
his farewell to the family. It was sad to see him going in this
way but we were proud of his fight and his courage of coming to
say goodbye---not in so many words, but goodbye nevertheless.
He is
really the first of this generation to have lived a life to
retirement and then die through ill health; it brings our
mortality into focus. His
wine cellar is no more: he and his friends drank it with
pleasure some years ago when he knew that he would not live to
be able to enjoy it for much longer. Julien is not with us
anymore but we celebrate his life with us and rejoice that he
will find health and joy in the next world.
Julien
is survived by his sister Francoise (
England
) and three brothers, Bertrand
(
Mauritius
), Denis (
Canada
) and Paul (
France
).

sa joie de vivre, sa bonne humeur,et son amour de la
musique; Très active et dynamique, elle aimait
la danse, les jeux de cartes et les voyages. Femme

accident de voiture. Elle avait presque 100 ans.
