Peter,
We all got to know of this sad news.
Morealso - It is a mystery how a six months aircraft crashed from as the fleet of an African Airline rated as one of the best because of their partnership with KLM.
No one know when the time will come.
The Bible says that to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord. The Families of the bereaved should take solace in this.
While the body returns to dust, a man's spirit returns to the creator and lives forever. This can never be in the grave.The issue that must be settled here is a choice on where to spend eternity. This is what Christ paid for.
On behalf of Offshore Capital, we extend our condolence to Greg Heale and other African Families involved in this tragic incident.

Dear Peter
My heart and prayers are with everyone suffering such huge loss of family, friends and colleagues in this tragedy.
In the difficult time ahead for those who have experienced such sudden and overwhelming loss, I send love, strength and a message of hope.
It is only time, and a deep belief that life can and will go on, that can support them through their grief.
May they somehow be comforted by knowing that there are people everywhere they will never know who understand and share their loss and who send them God's blessings to comfort them and hold them at this very sad time.

Peter, with all due respect, if Kenyan Airways is so great and they knew that there was a storm brewing....then why did they fly directly into it?
109 people have died due to negligence it appears, please don't write and say that they are " The Pride of Africa ". It seems quite a mockery.
Kind Regards,
