Francis Cabot has done so much for the betterment of the world in so many ways, not the least of which are preserving nature and bringing the grace, beauty and peace of gardens to a world increasingly filled with strife. We will cherish our memories of Les Quatre Vents and remember a great man. Our deepest sympathies to Anne and family.

Our condolences to Mr. Cabot's family. I had just revisited the Garden in August while at home in Cap-a-l'Aigle/La Malbaie. I live in New York City and work with the United Nations. I remember fondly receiving a very touching letter from Mr. Cabot years ago when I had written to him about the church of our village.
He will be missed by many.
Sincerely,
