Gilberte was the same age as Elise and at school they were in the same class. They made their **first communion together**. Some **photos, preciously kept by Gilberte**, illustrate their common activities, often with other girls.

Her memories of Elise: - she was often absent due to her illness, - she was otherwise first in class, - she couldn't go out in recreation, - she never got angry, - she was always very sweet, even if everyone wondered how she managed to stand up. Every Saturday Gilberte, Victoria (another friend) and Élise flowered the church. It is a very beautiful discovery that to have found Gilberte, a friend of Elise full of beautiful memories and some photographs.
