Farewell Tribute to Joan Fernandes


Dear Catherine, Hyacinth & Joseph

Farewell Tribute to your mother Joan Fernandes

Please CLICK on the LINK below to accept my Special blogspot gift titled CathPereira

        https://cathpereira.blogspot.com/

To be Shared with all your Family Members, Relatives

and Global friends.

Lawrence Mascarenhas has added a Musical Tribute of some of the lovely Konkani songs your mum loved which Lawrence and the sisters sung , at the wake. Sorry I failed to back the musical group with my Saxophone due to a last moment technical hitch. I was hoping to play & sing a special song for your mum which failed.

Also added are a collection of family photographs which will always bring back sweet family memories.

Please keep your blogspot link in your favourites to view at any time in the future. https://cathpereira.blogspot.com/

Special thanks to Jack Soriano, professional Cameraman, who has provided a wonderful Video tribute Celebrating the life of Joan Fernandes which I have added to this blogspot on a special page link titled Celebrating the Life of Joan Fernandes.

Jack was the Alter server, also involved with the Parish Community and is a good friend of Lawrence who also plays and active roll supporting our Roman Catholic Church. Lawrence was instrumental in planning and playing all the music at the church and wake.

Catherine, Hyacinth & Joseph you certainly gave your mum a grand send off with the wonderful church service conducted by Celebrant: Rev. Fr. Simon Hall of St. Joseph's Catholic Church Epsom.

Wishing you our prayers to help you gain strength to carry on with your good lives knowing your mum is now in Almighty God's Kingdom enjoying Eternal Happiness.

Best regards from your new friends from UK/Zanzibar/Goa

Dear Catherine & family
I had planned to sing and play my saxophone at the wake as my
added gift with this special blogspot
"Farewell Tribute to Joan Fernandes" but unfortunately I 
experienced technical problems and am attaching below my
special song sung by my sister from Nova Scotia Canada.

Best regards - Benny De Souza
