Dear Joel, And recently Lea remembered you taking us to the ruined house of the Visconde de Bardez, and also to the mound of stones marking the spot where Raoji Rane was slain in the 1890s. Best of all, she remembered the cantam that you picked for her from the shrubs that grew alongside the road Warm regards, Victor

Of course, I knew that she was sick, but death... I didn't expect it. Kindly accept my heartfelt sympathies and also convey it to your family members. On the few occasions I had the privilege of meeting Lea, she always proved be ever so friendly and kind, and filled with joy. I still remember her seated at the piano at your ancestral house in Porvorim. Lea leaves behind very happy memories while she left for her Eternal home. I wish her eternal happiness, and to you... all the courage to brave the immense loss. Regards, Joel.
