OUR LIFE IN CHALABRE: An American Expat in the South of France

PEPETE PASSES AWAY (December 2006) 4 Dec. - This afternoon, practically the entire village gathered to say goodbye to Pepete, José Montoro. We met at the monument to the dead and stood there, solemnly, waiting for the cortege to bring him on his final journey. Even the weather was gray and sad, bearing witness to the sense of loss felt by everyone in Chalabre. This has been a very difficult year for the Montoro Family; one of Pepete's sisters passed away only 6 months ago. All of us join together to pray for Pepete and the rest of the Montoros in this their time of loss.
