AV News 177 - August 2009 After travelling for meetings and staying in uninteresting hotels she and also Maurice, concluded it was enough and she was looking for something new. This new activity was found in creating in Belgium a national group of AV workers, or Diaporamists, as they were called in these days. In joint operation with Maurice the "Diaporama Club Belgium" (DCB) was founded. She took upon being the editor of the "DCB Bulletin", until she passed away. Above all this there was the family: much more important than all what has been mentioned so far. She always did what was in her power to assist her son and the two grandchildren in their studies. She was so proud her son succeeded in such a fine photographic career. During her three months long stay in hospital ending in the palliative section, she frequently said "Will Yana and Lisa be ok with the current exams?" These last months, hopelessly fighting against liver cancer, suffering from severe diabetes and feeling the limitations imposed by Parkinson's disease, there was never one complaint. Her end vision of our life was: "We've had a rich and successful life, let's be grateful. Let's not forget the superb moments we had in working together in science and photography. We had the opportunity to travel around the world for our photography. Let's keep that in mind". Later the head nurse told me, that the evening before Liliane died, she begged her to convince me to continue to work for photography.
