Dearest Jango Family,
The greatest tribute a man can have is his children ... you and your families are your Dad's special legacy. That breeze you feel on your face is him telling you he is with you always. May God bless you and keep you in this difficult time.

God saw him getting tired,
a cure was not meant to be,
He wrapped His arms around him,
and whispered, "Come with Me".
