Condolences for
Mandala victims

It is with sadness that we, the United in Diversity Forum,
learn of the tragic passing of Governor Rizal Nurdin.

Indonesia lost another one of its best sons; the people of
North Sumatra lost a great leader; and others who have come to
know and work with him lost a dear friend and a fine colleague.

While no words can ease the pain of their loss, it may be of
some comfort to know that he made a difference in the lives of
many Indonesians and that he will live on in the hearts and minds
of us all.

Our heartfelt condolences also go out to the families of other
victims in the Mandala air crash. May the loving memories of your
loved ones give you the strength to go through this most
difficult time.
