Dear ADA,
i would like to share my deepest condolences to Sopena Family for our loss (Fr. Federico Gussi Sopena).
i did not have any other median to share the pain & condolences, so sending it to you. you may forward the same with them or have them reach me directly. they may or may not know me, but a brief info below will help.
ours is one of the families whose life Father Fred Sopena has changed & my Mom (Agnes Dsilva)...
Dear Juanjo and All the Family and Friends who will miss Fred Sopena
This is to say we, so many of us, miss him dearly.
He was there for us to share our ideals, to analyse situations, to think bravely on life.
God gave him to us for so many precious years. Generations of Jesuits, so many other men and women whom he touched with care and hope.
I believe he will accompany us.
For his Inspiration was Jesus who promised life to us. Life that death cannot...
always with a smile on his face, tall as a pine tree, and wearing a white robe... and walking, opening new ways/possibilities
