I apologize for taking a moment, out of my weekly postings, but I personally needed to update you on yesterday's prayer request and had a need to to express my sorrow.
After four years of fighting cancer, the Dominican humorist Freddy Beras Goico, died at dawn on November 18, 2010, in a New York hospital. He was blessed to have the opportunity to say good bye to his family before he died. His remains will be brought from NY to Dominican Republic on Friday. He will be watched on Saturday after 9 AM in the "Palacio de Bellas Artes Santo Domingo" and buried on Sunday. Peace to his remains.
Although I personally did not know Freddy, my family and I as well as for many Dominicans, feel that he is part of our families. Freddy was an excellent humorist, TV presenter, writer, actor, among other great roles. He was a well known media personality for more than 50 years and one of the most important mediators in this country's internal conflicts. An important voice of the common people.
Why I feel so close to Freddy? Well I have seen his shows since I was seven, and like many other Dominicans he was let in our homes through his weekly or daily TV shows. Also during these ten years of me residing in this country one of the very few tv programs I watched was his, "Con Freddy y Punto". Especially on Wednesday nights, which were dedicated to our Savior Jesus Christ.We lost not only a public figure, but one of the few good hearted, public defenders, and a persona of great values and morals. My husband and I admired him because he showed his Christianity not by saying he was a Christian, but through his actions, behavior and the love he showed to his wife Pily, his children and grandchildren. He was blessed with many talents, values and a great loving family. May the Lord continue to bless this family enormously.
And the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. -Ecclesiastes 12:7
