 Estimado Nathaniel:
He visto la noticia de la muerte del hermano Godwin. Que el Señor le reciba en al plenitud de su Reino. Estoy en Paraguay y hoy empezamos la Asamblea de los claretianos de esta zona de América Latina. Rezaremos por su eterno descanso y por toda su familia y la comunidad claretiana de Nigeria.
Que Dios nos conceda muchas y buenas vocaciones de hermanos.
Un abrazo frarerno,

I got the news of the demise of Bro Igbokwe. I heard he has been seriously sick but least expected the result of this sickness now. He is a loss to the Claretian Community and those of us who knew him right from our formation days. My condolences to the Provincial and the Nigerian Claretians. Please do let me know when the burial is fixed so that we can join in prayers same day. I hope Fr Tony Igbokwe has been informed so that we can also reach him.
God bless

It is really a loss to our province. He had contributed his best to province. We owe him prayers and masses. May God rest his soul perfectly.
We have started saying masses for him in our communities.

Hi Fr.Nat! I just recieved from you the sad news of the death of our beloved brother Rev. Br. Godwin Igbokwe.It is indeed sad but then rejoice as brother died a committed religious. May his gentle soul remain blessed in the bossom of our Lord. I sent you all my greetings from Darfur! Here in this crisis striken land there is a lot of challenges of evangelisation and faith. I move from one location of military camp to another for church ministry but it has to be under intense security. It is not an easy place but God is the one that guide and protect his own. I place all my trust in him as he has called me to be an instrument of peace at this point in time in the land of Darfur. So please say masses for me and for the christians and the church in Darfur. Greetings to the confrers in the community and extend my condolences.

Dear Nath,

The News of  brother Igbokwe's transition is really saddening. We have lost a remarkable personality in the congregation. His religious simplicity and conviction marked him out.
I join all in mourning the noble soul that has gone before us marked with the claretian seal and sign of faith in Christ.
May God grant Him perfect rest in Heaven. Amen.

Cajetan Okey Ani, cmf.

Dear Fr,
It is really a sad news and yet we can only say "To God be the glory" in all things. We shall really miss our dear Brother Godwin Igbokwe. May the Almighty and merciful Father grant him a place of union with Him and all the Saints in his heavenly kingdom.

I shall definitely celebrate masses for his eternal repose. May he rest rest in perfect peace
