Kahlil Gibran

I still expect to see Kahlil passing my living room window on his way to the corner store to buy his ice cream. One could set one's clock by him. He waited at the door for Jean to return from swimming. In my mind's eye, he is in familiar places. Rest well, Kahlil.

I miss you, still, Kahlil each time I look at the picture of you, Jean, and myself.
Such an outspoken, talented, and honest man you were [and still are].

On this approaching anniversary, the presence of an absence fills us with warm memories of Kahlil's many gifts. Our guardian angel Kahlil's twinkling eyes and gentle mirth carry us through these difficult times.

Kahlil's passing was nearly one year ago. The street is not quite the same, but my smile still comes when we pass the house and think of him. Inevitably, we see him making the short trip to Casa Cuong for a pint of ice cream..a small smile on his face and a quick spring in his step. Love to Jean, Nicole, Frank and the boys on this anniversary. With fond remembrance, Alice and Colby Andrus

Dear Jean,
Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Kahlil, this online guest book has allowed me a peek at the wonderful man he was. I am so happy to know that your soul mate was such a vibrant, interesting, intelligent, and talented man who cherished family and friends. I wish you strength and peace, and I offer you support and friendship as you grieve his loss.

Dear Jean:
Kahlil was a charmer when I first met him in the late 60s while we were at the Bates. He was that same delightful charmer when Bill and I met him as late as Feb. 2007 at the St. Botolph Club.
We will miss the "gentleman with the permanent twinkle in his eye."

We will remember Kahlil, Nicky, Frank, the boys and especially you Jean, in our prayers.

Dear Jean

My deepest sympathy in your loss. Take solice in the many happy memories that you have of times with Kahlil.

Kahlil, I was always in awe of your many talents and I will never forget you. What a fantastic artist, an incomparable technician, and a true magician with any material! You were a great friend and I will always cherish the times we spent together. Argie and I feel privileged to have been Jean's and your friends.

Kahlil Gibran was an innovator who stalked the edge to find meaning, beauty and splendor in the ordinary. His dynamic, unique artistic master works rank with the greatest sculptors. He was a loyal, dear friend, husband and father and a creative genius who will be missed by us all. Patricia Jobe Pierce and Marco Apollo Pierce
