Saying Goodbye...
Eleven years ago, our family spent almost a month at a campground on the Algarve. While there we met some wonderful people but only two remained our friends after all these years, Jean and Malc.
In May, the plan was for all of us to have a reunion in Italy. Tragically, we lost Malc before we could be together again.
Today we said "Goodbye" to Malc as his ashes were released into the warm ocean breezes of Portugal, his winter home. He was a kind man who truly lived, fully succeeded and will be missed by many.

Because You Have Lived
To laugh often and much.
To win the respect of intelligent people,
and the affection of children.
To earn the appreciation of honest critics.
To appreciate beauty.
To find the best in others.
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
or a garden patch.
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
