Now, in true Goan unity, I would like to request that we all observe 3
minutes of silence and prayer tomorrow 29/11/2007 at 14.00 GMT/Lisbon time
when Jorge will be moved from the mortuary chapel of Figueirinha-Oeiras to
the crematorium of the cemetery of Olivais, in Portugal. This is the least
we can do for Jorge since we cannot attend his funeral. At least let us all
be with him, his beloved wife Livia and the rest of his family, in spirit
and in prayer.

Dear Paulo,
This is a splendid idea and a unique tribute to Jorge who has
enlightened all of us over the years with his insights about Goa and
all things Goan.
I did not have the pleasure of meeting him in real life but have
communicated with him privately and publicly by e-mail. I am eternally
grateful for all the clarifications he has provided me about
historical and other facts. His passing away is indeed a great loss to
the Goan community.
My family and me will observe the 3 minutes of silence and prayer at
7.30 pm (IST) on 29th November in respect to this truly great Goan.
Regards
Cecil
