Benny Mascarenhas In Memoriam

 







Benny Mascarenhas

Born 31.3.1948 Died 24.9.2021.

A special tune of beautiful memories heard with a million tears,

with a wish that God could have spared you for a few more years.

I cannot bring the old days back, when we shared so much together,

my heart is broken now but our love lives on forever ❤️.

It was a sudden passing, too bitter to forget,

and only those who know you well,

are the ones who won't forget.

The blow was hard, the shock severe,

to part with you I loved so dear.

My loss is great, but I can't complain

cause I trust and know we'll meet again.

With my love on your 2nd death anniversary.

Love always Cecilia.

 

Hello

Attached is Benny's 2nd death anniversary memoriam card instead of posting a card to you.

I know when Benny was around in the past, we have kept in touch more often,  but I wanted to connect & share his 2nd death anniversary now the inquest is over.  Thankfully the Coroner ruled in my favour.

 

I also wanted to inform you that I will be in Toronto hosting a memorial for Benny on the 24th Sept with his band mates, some of the classmates and friends.  Leaving early tomorrow morning..  hence sending now! Ahem

 

A donation will be made to The Roy Castle Lung Foundation. 

This is now a perpetual Donation/memory page in his memory to keep this worthy cause going that has helped many with lung & other cancers that I know he would be pleased as he has always helped everyone best way he could and I want to keep his memory alive someway by helping others.

You can add a thought or memory as I would appreciate this very much.     You do not have to donate either – entirely up to you.   I just want to keep all the memories of my Benny on record to view and share with all who visit the page.   Some of you have….Thank you!

The happiness we seek isn’t found in things, places or possessions.  It’s in the people we love, who care and the memories we made and make as life changing times that ignite our souls, that’s the stuff I will always carry with me. And if you think I’m strong or things don’t bring me down, you’d be wrong.  I get knocked down, have bad days, make mistakes but I'm learning.  I have now put my beloved Benny to Rest in Peace. 

Please say a prayer for him 🙏

Sincerely & in sorrow

Cecilia.

PS   enjoy my Benny twanging with the rest of the Shiftars in 1998…their 50th!

Pinto: Blood on Western and Kenyan hands

  BOOK REVIEW   Pinto: Blood on Western and Kenyan hands   Review by Cyprian Fernandes     Pio Gama Pinto, Kenya’s Unsung Martyr 1927-1965 Edited by Shiraz Durrani [Vita Books, Kenya, 2018, 392 pp.   Pbk, £30, ISBN 978-9966-1890-0-4; distributed worldwide by African Books Collective, www.africanbookscollective.com ]   Less than two years after independence from the British, on 24 February 1965, the Kenyan nationalist Pio Gama Pinto was gunned down in the driveway of his Nairobi home.   His young daughter watched helplessly in the back seat of the family car.   Pinto, a Member of Parliament at the time, was Kenya’s first political martyr.   One man was wrongly accused of his death, served several years in prison and was later released and compensated.   Since then no one has been charged with the murder.   Now the long-awaited book on Pio Gama Pinto is finally here, launched in Nairobi on 16 October 2018....

The sanctuaries trying to save birds of prey from extinction in Kenya

  The sanctuaries trying to save birds of prey from extinction in Kenya (Courtesy of Al Jazeera) Poison, deforestation and power lines have pushed the African raptor population to a 90 per cent decline in the last 40 years. Raptor technician John Kyalo Mwanzia rehabilitates a juvenile fish eagle to flight after it was treated for grounding injuries sustained in a territorial fight at the Lake Naivasha habitat, at Soysambu Raptor Centre. [Tony Karumba/AFP] Simon Thomsett tentatively removes a pink bandage from the wing of an injured bateleur, a short-tailed eagle from the African savannah, where birds of prey are increasingly at risk of extinction. “There is still a long way to go before healing,” Thomsett explains as he lifts up the bird’s dark feathers and examines the injury. “It was injured in the Maasai Mara national park, but we don’t know how,” says the 62-year-old vet who runs the Soysambu Raptor Centre in central Kenya. The 18-month-old eagle, with a dist...
