My visit to see GiGi I'm sure that most of you remember Louis and GiGi Guilmette who formerly owned Century 21 Guilmette Realty in Auburn, Maine. They retired from real estate some years ago and moved to sunny Florida. Sadly, Louis passed away almost three years ago on May 23rd.
I visited GiGi in Florida last year on the anniversary of Louis' passing (she said he had sent me). I truly enjoyed our time together! GiGi looked incredible as you will see by these photos. We visited at her lovely home, then she took me out to a wonderful French Bistro (thank you!) and we did some shopping after. We were having so much fun, I didn't want to leave!! Besides seeing my family in Florida, this was very special to me.
We had a great visit together!

GiGi still has that artistic touch,
even in her decorating.
I must tell you that GiGi was probably the biggest influence in my life as far as developing
a fashion sense and a love of the arts was concerned. I learned the importance of "accessorizing" using lovely silk scarves, nice belts, and of course, jewelry. She was always impeccably dressed and well-put together. GiGi was the consumate perfectionist in her business dealings as well. I learned so much from her through the years, much of which I still implement today in my business & in my personal life.
Dear GiGi,
Thank you for your friendship & love through the years.
I was so happy to be able to visit you in Florida, and I hope we can do it again soon. You've always been there for me, and
you will always have a place in my heart!!
With much love, Charlene
