Blessed are those who mourn...

Hello everybody,
I have not posted anything because I have been grieving the loss of a dear friend and colleague who died on that ill fated Dana crash. I cannot even begin to describe the feelings that came when I discovered he had traveled. He was a selfless man, a mentor, a friend and a counselor . He never ceased to tease me any second he had the chance to, He  always came down to my level to explain things to me, make sure I presented my work well...... hmmmmmm I can go on and on and on.
 Last year when I had some serious emotional issues,he sat me down and gave me one of the best counsels i have ever received, As he was laid to rest last week Friday, it all seemed like a dream, watching the coffin pass by and knowing that this was the end!
I had major good news to share with him in just some days, and I can imagine how much of teasing he would have dished me :).
I miss him a lot, and I cant even imagine how his family feels. He left behind his beautiful wife and 3 kids. May God continue to comfort them  and keep them.
My Dear DR Jonathan, you lived your life well, only the testimonies that were shared are enough to touch all of those present at your funeral service. I am holding onto to all you have taught me, striving to be as excellent as you were, I will do you proud.
 RIP Dr J.
