Our memories
we still miss you deeply
Zainab
Dear chef Guillaume, How’s it going? What’s it like up there? Try not too have too much fun k? Leave some of the fun to the rest of us common people haha. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi because I was thinking of you. Nothing much Is going on with me tbh. But I did finish hosting my first ever penthouse function at work last night for v day. It was long and tiring but rewarding, I loved the experience of being a “private chef” to a large but fairly small group of people. I felt a sense of accomplishment and I wanted to share it with you cuz I thought you’d be proud that I’m making slow progress up the career ladder and not much progress at all in the social ladder haha. I’ve grown a great obsession for donuts recently- I literally cannot go a week without having a few. And more often than not, I think of those beignets you were “supposed” to give me it’s alright I’ve gotten over it (not ) Alright then, that’s all I’ve got for now. But I’ll tell you
Xijian CHEN
I saw you few times,but when i know the real you was from liz after you gone,I blame myself did not know you earlier, otherwise I can learn so many from you,as much as I can learn a lot from liz. Your smile was so contagious, even if I did not talk to you once,also can feel full of positive energy. If there have two moons in the world, Will there have two of you?i am very lucky to met liz and thank you. Otherwise, I would not have known I had seen an angel in the world.Rest In Peace, GUIGUI.
Yip KING
Dear Guillaume,
I really hope that you can share the horrible 2020 with us. I used to learn from you how to be a human, even what is a good man. Losing you left a hole in my heart and a place where like Wellington without you also lost a lot of charm.
Rest In Peace,
King Yip

How are you Guigui?! We are spending time on Animal Crossing recently, it is a game which you can show your creativity, I think you may like it. You can fish, make furnitures, and also draw. Liz created a wonderful sightseeing spot for you where you can enjoy the best sunset view on the island. I'm planning to make some cakes, so I come to find inspirations. Your works are extremely good!!
Zainab
Dear Guillaume, they say time heals all wounds, and it's January 2020.... two months and nine days since you left us with a big hole in our hearts. And that hole has yet to close, but I don't think it ever will. Classes are about to resume in no time for me back in LCB, and the reason I'm writing this really is because I thought that with time I would be able to go back to enjoying school the way I did when you were there. when you made me love every single moment of being there. but now I'm only terrified that I'm this close to walking through those glass doors again and reliving that moment I learned of your passing over and over again in my head. And there are so many things I want to share with you. About my time back home and the things I did and the pastries I made. And I really won't mind at all if you criticize them. I promise. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say for now. You take care of yourself up there. and we will take care of your Liz down here :) And I will write to you here, so whenever God gives you the time, come read them OK? oh, and you don't have to respond to any of 'em. love, Zainab

Dear Guil, When every time I try to write something, I can not finish cause all the memories in a mess and start not found. Same as this time, takes 45 mins only a few words. I'm not good at telling, but words in the heart. I'm so glad I can be your friend in my life. Not only all your goodness, but also your smile your patient your giving. You are the living angel in the disgusting living world. Wish the sunlight will lead you to heaven. I will follow you for your attitude to living. And do whatever I want, don't wast just go. Thank you love you, bro. 愿你的笑容,在我们的心里如温暖的阳光洒满人间大地。

Dear Liz & Guil, It’s the first day of 2020, happy new year. Still remember the day I heard the heartbreaking news from Liz on WeChat, I cannot believe that even two months have passed. I live as usual, but you often appear in my mind. When I went to W Hotel Guangzhou, when I drove through the Yangji Village, when I watched a German YouTuber who is married a Chinese girl and also has a never-negative-mind. Every time when you appear, I notice that I miss you my friend. I also suffered in the past year, I obviously felt I was getting worse physically than before. It seemed like, spend a day safely is the everyday task. 2020 is here, although all of us are unprepared. There will be happiness and also pain in our life. Hope we can face it and fix it.

It has been almost two months since that shocking night. I thought I would gradually forget you as time went by, but during this time, you have often haunted my mind. We have known each other for 4 years, not a long time though, you were always smiling when we met. I can still remember you preparing desserts and wine in the kitchen on Liz’s birthday when we were drinking and chatting in the living room. You like all this——everybody is living together happily. But we always forget that it was you who embraced us together, with your wings of an angel.
I thought I would forget you slowly, which I believed a rational and inevitable way. However, I can’t help thinking of you. You could always discover the good in everyone, even if they considered him- or herself awkward. You praised them with the most beautiful language, giving them love and confidence. I was one of them. Whenever I feel confused, lost or disappointed, I will think of you and the encouragement you have given me, which gives me a renewed confidence in life. If I forget you one day, it means that I have given up on myself.
You are the torch, and we are the matches lit by you. I came up with a word——I will be the one and only light if there is no torch anymore. Although you only have walked with us for a short distance, you let us understand, with love and hope, that it will always be us who illuminate ourselves in the dark for the rest of our lives.
从那个令人震惊的夜晚到今天,差不多有两个月时间了。我以为随着时间的流逝,我会渐渐忘记你,但是这段时间,你经常萦绕在我的脑海里。我们认识4年了,虽然我们交往的时间不多,但是你总是面带笑容。我还记得那次liz的生日,我们在客厅喝酒聊天,你却整个晚上在厨房为我们准备点心和葡萄酒。你喜欢这一切,喜欢所有人都开心地生活在一起。但我们常常忘记,是你用天使的羽翼把我们拥抱在一起。 我以为我会慢慢忘记你,我觉得这是一种理性的、必然的方式。但是我又总忍不住想起你。你总能发现所有人的优点,哪怕他们觉得自己很糟糕,但是你总是用最美的语言赞美他们,给他们爱与自信。我也是其中之一。在往后的日子里,每当自己迷茫、失落、失望的时候,我都会想起你,想起你给过我的鼓励。这让我重新有信心再面对生活。如果有一天我忘记了你,那也就是我自己放弃了自己。 你是炬火,我们是被你点亮的火柴。我想起一句话——“此后如竟没有炬火,我便是唯一的光”。你只陪伴我们走了一小段路,但是你用爱和希望让我们明白,往后余生在黑暗中照亮我们的,终究是我们自己。

Dear Chef Guillaume, I would say I’m lost for words, but you would never believe that. You always said I talk to much hahah. But, I really am this time. I just can’t believe you’re gone. BUT, honestly I could write a novel on how amazing of a person you are. You taught me confidence and you taught me love. I confided in you and you listened. Every time. And you believed in me. You said, “you’re so much better than you know Zainab,” and I’ll be honest, no one had ever said that to me before. I just wish I thanked you each time. Thank you for being the coolest teacher I’ve EVER had. And ever will. Thank you for keeping my secrets. Thank you for believing in me. I miss you so damn much y’know. I miss your terrible but not-so-terrible singing. I miss having you around when I need trouble shooting (yeah, I swear when I say this, he had a solution to literally EVERY PROBLEM. I don’t know how, but he did) and I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I kinda miss having you make fun of my non-existent love life. Anyway, you’re truly a wonderful human being. The most caring of them that I know. And the widest smile I’ve ever seen. I miss you so much Chef. But I know you’re watching over us. And you are looking over your family and your Liz. We miss you. But I hope you have a good time in heaven! Love, Zainab

Il n’y a pas de mots pouvant qualifier cette injustice. Toi mon frère avec qui nous avons tout partagé. Tu me manque déjà énormément et ce n’est que le début. Merci pour tout ces moments d’exception durant ces 15 dernières années. Prends soin de toi la haut et ne boit pas trop d’eau benite. Ce n’est qu’un au revoir. Je t’aime. Philou, Patachou et Mateo

Au retour d’une partie mémorable de golf, où tu m’as
Au retour d’une partie mémorable de golf, où tu m’as aidé sur les 3 derniers trous exceptionnels "Deux bras tendus et tu pousses, voila…c’est ça”, dans la voiture, j’apprends que ma femme est enceinte, un soulagement après deux ans d’essais, enfin! J étais tellement fier et content, que tu fus l’un des premiers a le savoir. Au lendemain de la naissance d’Alban, tu lui dédicaces une magnifique tarte fruitée et acidulée. Il m’est difficile d’écrire, en utilisant le passé, car tu fus une personne d’une gentillesse et sincérité exceptionnelle que j’ai rencontrée. J’ai toujours eu la banane avec toi. Par consequent, Je n’oublierai pas de boire un petit coup a ton honneur, à chaque anniversaire de mon fils, au revoir Guigui. RobertFrancoise Morillon
Your tatie Françoise & cousine Cecilia who will always have you in their heart. You've left behind only happy moments and we regret we couldn't share more together.

We will remember you happy & funny like the attached photo on your wedding day accompanied with bith of us & your wonderful wife Liz who will also always remain part of our big family. We thank you for the great times you've given us all.

On t’aime très fort Tonton Guillaume. On pense à toi et tu es dans notre cœur. Tu nous as laissé un grand espace vide. Je t’aime. Lily.

You have no idea how deep your encouraging words have embedded in my mind, or in anyone else’s mind. If there is a definition of success, it is you, the happy confident humorous supporter, artist, life-adventurer. R.I.P. Guillaume Marchand.

Mon cher ami Guillaume,
Repose en paix la haut et veille sur ta famille et ta femme Liz. Je suis enormement content de t’avoir rencontre dans mon parcours de vie a Guangzhou. Nous avons passé 2 superbes annees ensemble au W hotel a rire, s’eclater, bosser comme des chiens et surtout faire des events memorables ensemble avec Philou. Tu sera toujours un grand Chef a mes yeux et je vais toujours me rappeler de toi comme un homme hyper souriant, qui mordait dans la vie a pleine dent et qui avait une joie de vivre enorme!
Tu me manques deja, bon voyage mon cher ami xx

Please allow me to express in Chinese, because my English is not good, I want to better express my feelings for you.
我是2013年2月加入广州威斯汀酒店,这个是我人生非常重要的转折点,因为你是我跟的第一位外籍厨师长,我会接触怎样的甜品?这位外籍厨师长是怎样的脾气?带着紧张,疑问,好奇的心开始我的威斯汀之旅,很开心的事,我遇上伯乐,这位外籍厨师长人很好,技术很棒,教我做东西的时候又很详细,哈哈哈,虽然我英语不好,他也不会中文,但大家都在努力地沟通,最有趣的是他也在学中文,哈哈哈哈,而且在墙上帖上他学习的拼音,哈哈哈哈,还尝试跟我们中文沟通,哈哈哈哈哈,我很想说:不如你说回英语吧。他跟我一样都是抽中南海这个牌子的烟,我很惊讶,他说便宜啊,又好抽,他上班是骑单车的,从珠江新城骑回酒店,又一次让我惊讶,他才刚来,记得有一次我跟女朋友在酒店附近吃完饭走出去林和西路路口,远远看见一名骑单车的人在塞车的队伍里左穿右插,我跟女朋友说:你看这个人多傻西,咁7危险,说完几秒钟骑单车那个人骑过来啦,原来是我的外籍老大!!他还洋洋得意地跟我打招呼:hi pipi,我傻眼了,但还没反应过来就走远了……,guillaume.
他没有保留地教我技术,每一款产品的原料搭配原因,每一个重点,注意事项,到成品的装饰,颜色搭配意思,每一次他的演示都让我惊讶和佩服,他还教我做人的道理,由于我的性格比较情绪化,容易让情绪控制自己的行动,这些我都会统统表达出来,他希望我不要这样,任何事都要笑着面对,开心要笑,不开心更加要笑,事情总会有解决的方法,不放松面对如何解决,这么容易出情绪怎么样进步.
今天是一个特殊的日子,是万圣节,也是你的生日,虽然你偷偷地去了另外一个地方,但我还是要跟你说:happy birthday chef,
附件有我做给你的蛋糕……,还有我的万圣节出品,我会继续进步,thank you chef miss you

Mon cher beau-frère, avec toi nous avons partagé des moments joyeux, colorés, de complicité, de rigolades. Les moments de vie avec toi ont été beaux. Nous ne voulions pas que cela s’arrête. Je pensais qu’en Nouvelle Zélande tu étais parti au bout du monde et que tu ne pouvais pas être encore plus loin de nous...pourtant... Tu nous manques déjà tant. Merci d’avoir laissé dans notre cœur tous ces merveilleux souvenirs à tes côtés. Véro.

Dear Guillaume:
To be honest, I don't really remember when we first met. But I always remember the look in her face when my elder cousin mentioned you.
That is the light I have never seen in her eyes,and happiness.
In my memory, you are a confident, optimistic, open-minded, humorous and cheerful person with the most perfect, warmest and most influential smile in the world. Maybe God is too selfish and wants to take this smile for himself, so he summons you to his side.
Please continue to protect your loved Liz in heaven and give her the courage to love.
May you rest in peace.Dear Liz:
Sometimes bad things gonna happen.It just happened with no reasons, we don't know why the God would made such arrangements or, it just an accident.
Maybe the same things happens everyday in different parts on this planet, but only when it comes to us, then we learn that the god's injustice is the most fair thing in this world.
The fact can't be changed, although we are still in shock, unbelievable and the sadness.Please forgive me, I really don't know how to comfort my loved ones who just lost their loved ones. I can only say may the dead live in our hearts forever, and we will continue to live with his love of life, family and friends.
At the last, may he rest in pease,and hope you take care of yourself, we will always be by your side.
This is some photos of your wedding, you can't imagine how much I regret not taking more pictures for you
Carol
To my dear cousin in law,
I tried to find some good photos of us but unfortunately I only have few. However those photos bring piece of memories we spend together in Guangzhou and Mountain. Luo fu. I started to notice the reason that why we had to take photos every time we met. It is not only a mean for sweet throw backs but a recall to reminds who we are, how we treat our life and what might become us today.
I think every life has its journey to count down and when it comes to you, it will comes to you. Whether we born in poor or wealth surroundings, we spend tons of time to search for our greatest life satisfaction. I don't know whether you had found most but I'm sure you have one -- your love, my cousin, Liz. Forgive my old fashion phrase but its deep true, I can tell your happiness to spend times with her everyday and there is no regret to share your part of life with her.
I like your smile Guillaume, your every smile you took with your friends and families. I had ever known your past, maybe all of your sorrows and sadness hide under your smiles but your turn it into energy to struggle a better life. If it's too hard, you may found some peace and rest now. It's ok we can take it for you and complete what you haven't. I love pastry but never get a chance to learn from you, but I will try to make some nice cakes to make people happy, just like you do. I will try to achieve not New Zealand the best but friends the best :)
May your soul and body rest in peace,
yours and one last time,
Cousin in law
Carol
PS: I didn't find the best three of us photos because my laptop was broken last time, may ignore the first pic as reference and take the rest.
Aurelie Menard
Cette photo ne date pas d'hier, tu en as fait du chemin depuis et surtout tu en as croisé du monde. Aujourd'hui le monde est triste, tu nous a tous laissé une partie de toi en nous, nous ne t'oublierons jamais la guitoune, notre guigui.... Repose en paix l'ami, je pense à toi, ta femme, ta famille et tes amis. Ça rapera toujours à fromage. La bise d'en bas.

C’était l’une des premières fois que l’on prenait un verre ensemble en juin 2014. On t’avait sorti après une soirée CCI. Toi qui étais si sage J
Le temps semble loin, mais tu as toujours fait partie du paysage de Guangzhou. Merci ta gentillesse et ta présence pour chacun d’entre nous. J’aurais toujours une image de toi heureux. Tu seras toujours le meilleur pâtissier du CHR club ! Maintenant c’est aux anges de profiter de toi !
Felipe - Marikiki
My dear friend Mariqiqi,
I still laugh about the “mariqiqi” , I guess not even you are sure about its meaning, but it has always made me laugh each time we called each other that way; how could that word be created?
Many memories come to my mind. Your great pastry skills and me sneaking to your kitchen to see what I can grab and eat. Plenty of those Gin Tonic afternoons with Jannis at the garden; some more funny conversations than others and some just some good talks about life. It was always good to hear your thoughts and good sense of humor.
I do also remember those other afternoons of table-football at work; you were unbeatable! A machine, well, most of the times; until you know, when someone caught us haha ; no more games again.
And in the real field too, a great goalkeeper. So many good memories that I will never forget; but what I take the best is the honor to have met you and be your friend.
Thank you for the amazing memories and I’m sure we will meet one day to enjoy another game of table-football or G&T with sky views.
A great soul is never forgotten.
Rest In Peace mon chere ami.
With love from you friend
Felipe - Marikiki

Mon Guigui,
Que d’années passées en Chine ensemble. Autant d’années a vibrer, profiter de la vie , partir en vacances en Malaisie golfer , jouer au tennis. Profiter de ton talent de chef pâtissier en me servant allègrement dans les frigos de tes cuisines. A chanter ce générique entêtant que tu as entonné en mon honneur a ton mariage!
Tu vas terriblement me manquer mon toucan, reposes en paix , nous nous retrouverons la haut pour le meilleur.
Ton toucan, Adrien Roland

Guillaume, tu étais comme un petit frère pour Ktai.

Repose en paix et prends soin de là-haut de Liz, de ta famille et de tes amis.
Ton sourire, ton rire resteront gravés dans nos coeurs à jamais.
Ktai et Véro

Ma Guitoune,
3 ans, c’est le temps durant lequel j’ai eu la chance de te connaître. Tellement court.
Mais tellement chanceux aussi, toujours tout sourire, drôle (le plus souvent) et avec tes coulés magiques au billard ! De la magie, il y en a aussi dans ta cuisine. Qu’est-ce que tu nous as régalé.
La Nouvelle-Zélande c’était déjà loin et on t’a fait partir encore plus loin. C’est malin. Tu vas vraiment nous manquer mon copain.
Félix et Léona

I have joined le cordon bleu last year In December and Guillaume reach me out in spring to inform about his move and we were laughing about the good timing we had without really consulting each other!!
About 2 weeks ago I was checking on him and he was saying that he was very happy, New Zealand being being such grate place to be and our last words we had to each other was how blessed we both are....!
God bless you Guillaume and Rest In Peace my friend, I’m extremely sad and chocked by this terrible news and all my thoughts will be with him today and of course with his family...
My deepest condolences,
Clémentlu Adam
