Jo,

You leave an immense void behind you.
It is with great sadness and compassion that my family and I who had the chance to know you and the opportunity to be by the side of your tender and dear wife Eveline (my friend, my sister, my high school comrade) for an entire week just after your wedding in Limbe – present our most sincere condolences to your dear wife , your children, your parents , your sister ) and your family, to show them our support in this painful moment.
Also, I come to say (thank you for giving me a sign that the spiritual [realm] can well understand!
It is the fact of having shouted my name, Siktine, very loudly over the phone while Eveline was talking to me ; and all I had to say to you was:  Jo, I am happy to hear you after several years!

(and at the other end of the line, you said nothing more to me).
So I dedicate this song to you :
sleep ,beloved, your work is finished, here comes the end of your day; the hour of great rest has finally struck.
Farewell Jo, farewell!
Farewell Jo, farewell!
If we love you, Christ loves you more; he leads you on your pilgrimage, he sustains you in this final passage.
Farewell Jo, farewell!

Siktine à don Clotilde Solange.
