From Scott's sister Télaleigh Ivanye Skyy Lucretia (also known as Leigh)
For Claude
For my brother-in-law unequaled
In your death, as in your life, you reunite, and unite us yet again
Claude ~~
A complex and accomplished man.
Generous, kind, full of humor. Passionate agony for all that is wrong with our world.
A deep understanding of the kindred spirit we share with animals; our similarities, and the scintillating differences that brought us to consider them superior to humans in so many ways.
Your dedication to what is right.
Your devotion and utter commitment to family
Your commitment to commitment
Your graciousness
Your laughter
Your ability to fall asleep at a moments notice, and wake up refreshed and create with vibrant energy.
But above all that, I valued the way you treasured my brother.
Maybe my favorite story:
On a gorgeous summer day, we were strolling up the Montréal mountain called Mont Royal. You and I were a few steps ahead, Scott, Paul, Kelly, Skylar, and Leona trailed in their own group.
I suddenly realized that I never knew how you and Scott had met!
“Oh, we lived with an Italian family in Perugia. I opened the door for Scott when he arrived a week or so after I had. I was actually dating a woman back in Canada! I could go either way; I suppose it’s the French in me. I fell in love with him at first sight.”
You had my devotion as a beloved brother before that… but that cinched you to my heart forever as the man I could trust with my brother.
Thank you for loving Scott.
Thank you for loving Augustan.
Thank you for everything you continue to be, because I believe that time and mortality may be concepts we as humans don’t come close to understanding.
Love always from your sister-in-law
