[AfrICANN-discuss] Sad News from At Large

Thu Apr 16 01:04:50 SAST 2009

Dear all,

I join you in expressing my heartfelt condolences to the families of the bereaved ones: Aloyce Menda, Paco de Quita, and Mrs. Ivy Matsepe-Casburri (whose passing away Anne Rachel announced on the list a few days ago).  Just one of them passing away would have been a lot of sorrow and grief to bear, talk less of all three of them.  I join all of you in praying that their souls rest in perfect peace, and that we all have the strength to carry on!

Katim

Dear All,

Please read below and I would like to extend my personal condolences
to the families of these two esteemed members of the community. May
they rest in peace! Those who were in Mexico would remember Aloyce,
tired but still going on with a smile. He will be missed.
