Bubacarr Etu Ndow was my elder brother Modou Jallow close friend growing up in Bakau and as far I remember, he was a humble and gentle soul. May his soul rest in eternal peace in the highest gates of Janaatul Firdausi. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 25, 2014, at 2:24 PM, Baba Jallow <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Thanks Omar. Etu used to frequent our offices at the Observer and Independent when we were located at Sait Matty Road. He was a very good friend and brother, always bustling with cheerful energy and creative ideas, always with plans for the future. His passing at such a tender age is truly shocking. We can only pray that God blesses his soul abundantly. > Baba > > >> On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 11:06 AM, Omar <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >> Great poem from a great poet to a great artist.
