View all 4 ReflectionsGibran Malik Arthur Williams Barclift was my little brother. I'm his second oldest sister. Although many of you knew him as a employee and friend etc. he was my baby brother. I'm happy he is at peace now which is what Gibran has always demonstrated throughout his life. He was a wonderful soul. I use the phrase " Always missed but never forgotten " lightly he is definitely missed. However he will be never forgotten. I thank L Miller for keeping his legacy living strong.
