    Sad to hear the news of the demise of our beloved Agnesbai. She was a great pillar of strength to one of Konkani's great singer/composer (late) Jerome D'Souza during his lifetime. I still remember the great cooperation and help that she extended to Ancy Palladka who approached her on behalf of DoReMeFa, in providing relevant information to publish (late) Jerome's profile on Daijiworld eight years back.

    Dear Ryan, Reena & Ritesh please accept our sincere heartfelt condolences. We pray Almighty God to grant great strength to you all to bear this great loss. May her soul rest in peace!
