No, I had no direct contact with him, only with his father i.e my grandfather from whom I got the news of the sickness some days ago; I met him once in 1988, ages ago, when I traveled there and stayed there during 2 months. He was not that older than me, maybe 6-7 years older in fact, so we spent the whole holidays playing football with other kids.
Priidite, poklonimsja i pripadem ko Hristu.

Lord have mercy.
May his memory be eternal.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
Well maybe it's merciful that this terrible-sounding disease progressed rapidly, thus a very short time of suffering.
Maria, really ? The 2 diseases are related, and a new form of TB has been isolated recently ? I imagined it was all stamped out. I think of Saints who died of tuberculosis, but in the 1800s at the latest.
I am glad to hear Jean-Serge is not distraught but is still posting here and he sounds calm. Admirable !
