Easter Greetings.
Our fren James was cremated and his ashes were buried near his wife and parents in the church cemetery, near his village.
Another friend from NY, who volunteer closely with James at Brickdam Cathedral/GT, visited his grave site recently.
I always enjoy James company, especially when he visited his homeless friends in Georgetown. A wonderful man.
May his soul REST IN PARADISE.
Did not know that he passed away. When did he ?
James passed on a few months ago. His family, also sisters and brothers, from Canada, NY, UK and other parts of Europe were at the funeral. James was their last immediate family in Guyana.
When I saw him a few weeks before he passed on, he was very weak and could not walk unaided on flat ground, much less on stairs.
He was looked after by persons from the Brickdam Cathedral where he had strong contacts, especially the bishop and some of our friends at the Cath. Standard.
Most of his family lives in your city and GNI Django is a close relative. I know the children since childhood. Two younger boys graduated from Vancouver UBC and I met them last at GNI Mara's home in North Vancouver.
I spoke with Mara's brother recently and unfortunately Mara is still in bed with a disabling stroke at North Vancouver Lions Gate Hospital and unable to speak.
