In Memory ~ Marvin Arbour

Marvin has passed this life too, too quickly

The best picture I could find of this wonderful friend is this photo from a trip to Hornby Island in May 2008 with a group of friends. (I think there were eleven of us that trekked the trails on Hornby.)

A warm and wide smile

Kind eyes and strong welcoming hug

Charming, gentle

This is how I will remember Marvin

Her loss to our community is deep and profound.

There is no bravery in the loss of such a friend ~ only grief

But I suspect that Marvin would not want tears for too long ~ but lots of joy and laughter.

“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.”
