Amaldo Fernandes On 21 July you were born,
In the wink of an eye, you were gone Though a year has passed, Your memory does last, You kept the illness all to yourself, Too late for any medical help, You loved to share and to live, Always willing, a helping hand to give, Saxophone, organ, clarinet, guitar, , so well you play, As the goal keeper, kept the football at bay. CRCC budget and accounts you kept, For your services the club members truly wept, A friend, sought and trusted, secrets to keep, Even in the worst circumstances, the light did not beep, You loved and cherished the spirits of life, A worthy companion to children and a rock to wife, Proud of your achievements, daughters and anxiety of son, Happily recounted in the end, the anxiety battle you have won, Good friends are rare jewels to find, Your memory will be treasured in my heart and mind Nelson Lopes, Chinchinim
