I'm so, so truly saddened and sorry to hear of Rui's passing. I only found out this morning (Monday) before leaving for work. If I had known, I certainly would have been at the viewing last night. Fatima, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I've sent word to Anna...as she is in Florida at the moment. Again, I am so very sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Elaine Barreira (Wife's cousin) on: Feb 03, 2014
