It is always painful to lose someone with whom we shared so many moments, both in life and at work, but knowing that he has finally found the rest he deserved brings relief to my heart. Our friendship will live forever in my longing. Edson Silva, go in peace, dear friend
Uncle Edson was a very dear uncle; whenever he came to Juiz de Fora he brought news about the soap operas! Since I was little, we were “enchanted” by his work! A good person! He went in peace, thank God!
