I attended the Merton Goans drop-in on Wednesday. This is a drop-in that takes place every Wednesday and the members are primarily seniors. Many had attended a recent funeral of a Goan and were informing me of the service. Quite a few were upset at the eulogy and sought my opinion. I sympathized with
their feelings and confirmed to them that indeed, they had heard correctly as this eulogy was printed in London's premier Goan website. I was shocked when I read it. An eulogy is supposed to extol the virtues of the deceased; this piece published the deceased's failings - unfortunately this is in print and is now available to the whole wide World - When I go, I hope my survivors check the eulogy. It would be interesting though, if it was mentioned, ever loving husband of Lily, extremely fond of his Stella!
Also heard about the function that they had attended on the Sunday. The priest who said the Mass was highly thought of, in the manner that he spoke. Almost everyone to a fault, described the food as diabolical, some wondering whether they should have been given a refund! Rice was grainy, fish had guts intact, miserly starters. I am stating this here and now to avert a glossy picture being painted about this function in the next issue of the GOA Newsletter.
That's it for now, hope to keep you in touch with pulse of the Seniors.
cheers,
Gabe.
