To: Mrs. Janet Jagan, State House: It was with profound sadness that we learned of the death of His Excellency Dr. Cheddi Jagan, President of Guyana. We followed closely news of his illness. Like the great fighter he was, Dr. Jagan kept giving us hope that he would recover, but in the end he succumbed. To you, Mrs. Jagan, to your children, grandchildren, and other relatives, we extend our sincerest condolences.Guyana has lost its greatest son. He was a champion for the poor and downtrodden, and ever since he entered the political field, he sought to better the lives of his people. A man of simplicity, of integrity, of honesty, he was all these things and yet his work was not finished. He was in the midst of bringing back life, happiness and progress to the people of Guyana when the good Lord called him to greater service.May those in charge carry on his policies to ensure that his vision for Guyana is achieved. We have lost a great hero, a friend, a father. May his soul rest in peace. -- M.L.Persaud & Family, retired Deputy Permanent Secretary and ex-District Commisioner, Rupununi.

You have undoubtedly received hundreds, if not thousands, ofsympathy messages. Words cannot erase the sorrow that youmust feel. We all share your pain to some degree. But, inthe end, the greatest testament that can be said of Dr. Jaganwas that he gave his life selflessly to Guyana.Our thoughts are with you all,Dave Jailal on behalf of the Jailal Family

Dr. Jagan, when I was losing hope, I look towards the helm and you were always there, guiding an embattled ship. In 1992, you eventually took us to port, despite the numerous batterings and desertions. My only regret is that I am not there with you at this time but you will continue to live in my heart and in the hearts of numerous Guyanese as well.I would like to express my sympathy with Mrs. Jagan (who quietly worked for us) and her family.Sincerely YoursZamir

I would like to extend my deepest symphaty to the family of Dr. Jagan. He was one of the best examples of a charismatic leader who never lost sight of where he came from, or the people he left behind. He is certainly by far, Guyana's greatest hero, and a roll model for others. He will be missed, and may Guyana flourish in the future in his name.

I wish to express my condolences to the family of the president and the people of Guyana, on the death of a great statesman. My last personal meeting with Dr. Cheddi Jagan was on October 30, 1996 at the Travelodge Hotel in Toronto Canada, where I served as a panelist at a forum on the future of Guyana.Dr. Jagan was the keynote speaker and my presentation was on youth and education. I believe that the best of the legacies that Dr. Jagan left us who are overseas is the great desire to return home and continue the process of rebuilding that started on October 5, 1992.

Dr Jagan in all instances hasbeen regarded as the father of our nation who stood in thesame shoes as men such as Gandi, Kartin Luther King, Leninand Nelson Mandella. He stepped in to the challenge the British system as only a true Guyanese "son" would. I was truly mesmerized be his passion for poor people and the political changes which were neccessary to improve the livesof many. He has left us a legacy which will cause many torefer to in years to come. Today much would be said of this great man, but his vision in life has touched many.

It was with deep sadness that I heard of the death of the Honorable Dr. Cheddi Jagan. He was indeed honorable. He captured the imagination of all people who shared his concern for equal oppurtunity for all regardless of social status, race or religion. He inspired generations of freedom fighters all over the world at a time when the third world was fighting vigorously for its right to exsist. Through all the hard times in Guyana he maintained his dignity in the face of tremendous odds, and at times great scorn. Present generations can learn from the examplethat he set. This was really a man. Heartfelt condolonces to his wife and family. Fondest Regards, Michael Harris, 1302 Cresthaven Dr., Silver Spring, MD 20903.
