[PDFlist] [PDF-members] [PDFVotingDelegates] FW: Our Cherished Colleague, A Treasure of PSA has Passed away

Mon Jun 14 13:42:59 +12 2021

On behalf of Nuanua o le alofa and subgroups, we would like to express our deepest condolences   to the board of PSA as well as families and friends of Luke.

He was indeed a true leader who was not fear to speak his mind  and a perfect example  of one who will always go the extra mile to ensure persons with interlectual disabilities voices are recognized in all aspects of life.

May his sole rest in peace and may we continue to live the  legacy  he has left behind.

THank you CEO for conveying the message. 

On Behalf of PWDSI Board and Management, It is with great sorrow to learn of the passing of Luke. Indeed, the disability community in the Pacific has lost one of our own. PWDSI sends our sincere heartfelt condolences to the PSA and to Luke's families and relatives. May Luke's soul rest in peace and rise in glory.

Subject: Our Cherished Colleague, A Treasure of PSA has Passed away

Dear Friends and Families of PSA,

It is with our deepest sorrow that we inform you of the death of our beloved President Mr Luke Butler Taveta. 

Mr Taveta passed away peacefully in his home in Nadali yesterday at 12.30pm. Mr Taveta was an important member of PSA eversince it was established and will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.

We are sorry to say that due to the restrictions, Luke’s family have only allowed one representative from PSA(Sera Osborne) to attend his funeral service which is yet to be finalized. 

The staff and volunteers of PSA will be visiting Luke’s family on Wednesday 9th June at 3pm to pay our last respect. 

My thoughts and prayers are with Luke’s family and any contributions made are highly appreciated. (please contact Kelera/Sera) for arrangement of collections of Contributions)

Sincerely with a heavy heart,

Sera Osborne
