My heartfelt condolence to our Dear Mum Ya-Marie Jallow and the rest of the family Awa Jobarteh & Yama Lowe ( U.S.A), Adama (Sweden), Baboucarr Lowe (Denmark), as well as Ebou  and Kebba. Babou Lowe called me this morning in Greenland to inform me of this sad event. May the almighty have mercy on his soul and grant him everlasting peace in heaven. 

George Joof.
