Sad news concerning Jdou

Post #1by Adirondack » 05.01.2007, 00:32

I received a sad message by Mrs. Dosset.
She announced that Jdou died unexpected on December 24th.

Here's the original message:

Code: Select all

Nous ne nous connaissons pas mais je me permets de vous contacter car j'ai
une nouvelle ?  vous annoncer.
Vous ne pourrez plus correspondre par mail avec Jdou comme vous aviez
l'habitude de le faire et j'en suis d?©sol?©e.
J'ai la douleur de vous faire part de son d?©c??s survenu le 24 d?©cembre
dernier.

Mme Dousset son ?©pouse.

:cry: Very sad news.
A small piece of Celestia community has reached a place in the sky. Perhaps now he will be able to travel through stars like he did many times. This is what I wish to him and to all of us when the unavoidable will happen.
Remember: Time always flows, it is the most precious thing that we have.
