Dear family and friends of Jord, 22 April 2008, a sunny day, hardly any wind. To an ordinary observer, a beautiful spring day, promising all of us a beautiful summer. Nature announcing new life. 22 April 2008, a sunny day, hardly any wind. To you all, family, friends and colleagues this day will be remembered as a final goodbye to Jord. No promises what so ever about a beautiful summer or new life. 22 April 2008, a sunny day, hardly any wind. They say that time will ease the pain, but not now, not today. Today we need to mourn, we need to remember, we need to laugh and we need to cry. My thoughts are with you all and as a dear person once wrote to me: “May the Sun shine on your path, always But carry a big flashlight, just in case…” Mariëlle Vosbeek, Ecofys
