We learn something from them. We spend precious times with them, whenever life allows it, and they remotely yet socially keep enriching us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excluding recent exchanged Christmas postcards, thanks to Louis&#8217; historic annual tradition, the last email Bambi received from Glenn was in March 2021. Honoured by his gift-surprise to her spouse\/her (ie., a mailed book), she wrote to thank him. He kindly replied fast. She felt happiness and pride when she noticed his professional signature, at the end of the email, about his new position. Like all of us, his colleagues must be shocked now. Condolences to everyone, especially those who saw him and paid tribute to him last, without knowing that life would be that cruel (Peter). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of life cruelty, death reminds us that we are all heading there. It is just a question of timing. May Glenn Brown&#8217;s memory be eternal and may his family members find the courage to face their shock and long sorrow journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bambi will stop here, ending this post with the song in question. It is in French. For your convenience, an English translation of its beautiful lyrics follows it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube
