Gloria. Because of the glory of God. This year has not been an easy one for some members of our family, close and extended. But we believe all things, from birth, through life to death occur for the ultimate glory of God.

Safi. A Swahili adjective meaning pure, clean, honest, decent.

Barlow. Rachel's maiden name which has to be included according to Brazilian law (and my wife's wishes).

Maclure. The best surname in the world.
