This reminds me of a very common expression used in some parts of the country, mostly I seem to associate with the Canadian Atlantic provinces, but it might be in Louisiana as well, so might be of French influence: "Remember me to your sister when you see her." Which basically means tell her that I remember her and send greetings. Most dictionaries list this definition down near the bottom of the list, but it is rarely heard in most parts of the English speaking world.

It's an old fashioned expression. But it doesn't sound like French at all, grammatically speaking. The French would say something that could be translated word for word as " give my good memory to your sister"( this sentence doesn't make sense in English, obviously)

It's in the "Scarborough Fair" folk song (aka "parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme"): "Remember me to one who lives there."
