In Memoriam

One of many brethren taken to the Grand Lodge Above. The following was sent by Bro. Dr. Greg Macasaet PM (below left) to his lodge group—was a front line doctor treating the VOVID-19 in the Philippines:

Good evening My Beloved Brethren ! The turn of events Is just no longer going in my Favor. The feeling you get aside From extreme pains all over , difficulty of breathing and as if all Life Is being sucked From your body ! They Will be putting cutdown lines and central Tubes on me anytime soon ! If they intubate me and place me on ventilator , then the game Is almost over ! If Ateng survives , then my wish for her and Raymond for a long and happy Life Will bear fruition ! Raymond however needs financial and emotional care for the rest of his Life ! Something I may no longer be able to fulfill ! It Is my fervent Hope that all of you may assist the rest of my Family in our most difficult times ! Bro. Greg leaves his wife (also front line—on right) and a son; it is believed the Craft will assist them in financial terms and also a memorial will be made—it is hoped to report this in a later Cross Keys. He can also be seen with his Rosicrucian fratres in the Pearl of the Orient College (5th from left in 2nd Row).

Rest in peace though good and faithful servant.

Brethren, I’m sure Bro. Greg is one of a number of brethren who have lost their life with this virus. Please let me know of others and I will try to get their details out there.
