JOANESA SPEAKS HER HEART OUT……. It hurts to say you have left us, causing a lot of grief and pain, but we bow before the Lord`splan., We cannot question Him. ,but we cherish sweet memories he left behind no one can steal
Memories are still fresh in our minds, how much we miss you is difficult to fathom., Your beautiful qualities touch everyone’s` heart, . You love, guidance, words of wisdom, endless support meant so much to us. Your absence in our lives will be always felt by us. I feel proud to say that though you are my uncle, you qualify to be my second dad. You were the backbone of our family, our pillar and our strength, in whom we could always rely upon , You supported us whenever needed and guided us on the right path. You always encouraged me in my studies and motivated me. Your suggestions were so motivating, it taught me and my brothers to achieve our determined and set goals To day I am a B.E because of your honest belief in my abilities. I salute you uncle Cypriano for your encouragement and being a beacon of light, Death has finally snatched you away from us. When I came down from Pune to visit you in the hospital, I never knew that I would be hearing your last pearls of wisdom. I whispered “get well soon” with a heavy heart anticipating the inevitable, but hoping not. I received the most unpleasant news of your demise on 23-February 2016, The ground under my feet shook, as I cried out alone my heart out .in despair and desperation. I raised the searching question Why you and now, when the world and your family were counting on you. How prophetic that whom the God`s want die young. I hopefully believed with unfaltering faith that you would recover from the dreadful disease after undergoing several and painful cycles of chemotherapy. Accepting the will of God is alone a soothing balm to our tormented minds It is in absence alone that we truly realize the real worth and importance of an individual. I am ashamed of my limitation of evaluating in weighing the value of people I dearly love. Uncle Cypriano, your absence will never fill the permanent void in my heart and mind . But I have the faith that your life of faith , trust and belief in God will ensure your place andrejoicing in the house of heavenly Father Joanesa Lopes
