April 13, 2004. Paris. Parc Montsouris. A cer­e­mony united his family and friends, before the depar­ture for Lebanon. Poems and speeches by Adonis, Miletti, Youri. Claude Lemand pro­nounced a farewell:

A cedar of Lebanon has fallen.
Farewell, Shafic !
You are leaving, but you have left us the smile that lit up your beau­tiful face.
You are leaving, but your work remains, frag­ments of light and of life.
In the name of your friends, and of the hun­dreds of ama­teurs throughout the World, we say Thank you.
In the name of your friends, and of the hun­dreds of ama­teurs throughout the World, we pre­sent our con­do­lences to those whom you loved most of all: They delighted your life and appease your depar­ture.
Farewell, Shafic !
You loved Paris and this Parc Montsouris and Paris loved you back and will do so even more.
You loved your vil­lage, the Lebanon of your child­hood and youth, and the Lebanon loved you back and will do so even more.
Farewell, Shafic !
A cedar of Lebanon has fallen.
