Remarks

To all of us, Emmanuel Gonda lived a fulfilling life of dedication, conviction and hard work as manifested by his years of service to society.To the family, he was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. We would have loved to have him longer with us but our ways are not God’s ways.We believe that beyond the gloomy darkness of death lies the dawn of immortality where father Emmanuel Gonda has gone and is happily taking his deserved eternal rest with the angels and saints.The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord
