I am sure you all feel our loss. My brother Odin had a very amazing funeral which was attended by lots of people. Some people delayed their flights to be there for his funeral. There were four priests officiating at his funeral. Father John who did the homily was a good friend of the family and knew Odin well. He compared his life to a very interesting book which you could not put down. Vanessa did a wonderful eulogy. The weather was warm and sunny at the burial and all day. We have lost a very integral and important part of our family. If any of us had a need for him to be there, he was always ready. We did butt heads with him from time to time as he did not always follow the rules that we wanted him to play by. We thank you for your prayers and caring. We know that you share in our loss.

Dearest Gemma & Vanessa,

Diana, Gerry & Family, Ena, Ed & Family, Wilma, Gemma & Charles, Nestor, Shaila & Family and Shamina, Alston & Family,

Our deepest sympathies on the precious loss of your darling husband and father, brother, uncle and our cousin Odin on October 3, 2010.

While no words of consolation are adequate in this hour of tremendous grief, we pray that the departed soul rests in peace and God give you and other members of Odin's family enough strength to bear this irreparable loss.

My brother, Fr. Cedric was in Mumbai yesterday enroute to Germany. He said a very special and personal mass for Odin last evening. We prayed much for him that he enjoys heavenly bliss which he so rightly deserves.

Take care, Gemma & Vanessa and the rest of the family members. We will pray much for Odin at the time of mass and burial on October 8.

Yours in grief
