WHEN A LOVED ONE DIES
Have you lost a loved one in death? The pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. At such times, we need to go to God’s Word for comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4) The Bible helps us to understand how Jehovah and Jesus feel about death. Jesus, who perfectly reflected his Father, knew the pain of losing someone in death. (John 14:9) When he was in Jerusalem, Jesus used to visit Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, who lived in the nearby town of Bethany. They became close friends. The Bible says: “Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.” (John 11:5) Though, Lazarus died. How did Jesus feel about losing his friend? The account tells us that Jesus joined Lazarus’ relatives and friends as they grieved over this loss. Seeing them, Jesus was deeply moved. He “groaned in the spirit and became troubled.” Then, the account says, “Jesus gave way to tears.” (John 11:33, 35) Did Jesus’ grief mean that he had no hope? Not at all. In fact, Jesus knew that something wonderful was about to happen. (John 11:3, 4) Still, he felt the pain and sorrow that death brings. In a way, Jesus’ grief is encouraging to us. It teaches us that Jesus and his Father, Jehovah, hate death. But Jehovah God is able to fight and overcome that enemy! Let us see what God enabled Jesus to do.

This is very sad to have lost a great scientist and a very close friend. I shall always remember Edgar’s commitment to advancing technology in Africa. Iam a product of these efforts. For me and the MIRCEN Nairobi team is that his soul rests in eternal peace.

Thank you for informing me about Edgar's death which was terrible news for me and my family - it is still difficult to come to terms with such a sad event. But the memories of him are indestructible and will remain among the real highlights of my career. I've put down a few personal thoughts on Edgar (attached) and if Lucy and/or Peter would wish to use them I would be happy.
Trust all goes well with you - such a long time since our paths last crossed!
Best wishes

We have lost an international giant of a friend. Edgar daSilva cared
deeply about his fellow human beings and worked tirelessly to help those
most in need. He was a champion of science for the developing countries
and worked hard to forge partnerships between the developed and
developing countries. He will be sorely missed by all his friends,
colleagues, and family. The loss is even greater for those who will not
have had the opportunity to meet Edgar and enjoy his good humor and
caring soul.
