We have not given up the search

Sep 29, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
I write in response to your article, “Companies finally give up search for missing U.S. plane”, September 23, 2009, on Kaieteur News Online (https://www.kaieteurnewsonline.com/2a009/09/23/companies-finally-give-up-search-for-missing-us-plane/).
My name is Darren Furlotte and I am an Uncle to Patrick Murphy who, along with Wes Barker and Chris Paris, went missing in Guyana, November 1st, last year.
On behalf of the families, friends and co-workers of Pat, Wes and Chris, I wish to offer a correction to your reporting of our latest search effort to find the boys.
With all the love and respect we owe to the latest group of searchers, which they deserve and earned, I say: it has not stopped us. We have not given up.
We have not given up the search for Pat, Wes and Chris.
The gesture that this Search Team made by dropping a wreath of flowers in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni region, was a show of respect to us and our boys not, as reported, a sign of the families, friends and co-workers “finally giving up” If we gave up after every failure since the boys went missing last November, well……
I hope that people realise that this entire Search Team were volunteers! Absolute strangers, who have heard our pleas for help and have ‘come to the crease’ for us, giving us their time, effort and skills to help us in our search.
Along with people like Glynis Alonzo-Beaton, from the Georgetown YWCA, the amount of support, love and assistance that we have received, truly humbles us. Glynis, I’ll let my sister, Patrick’s Mother Wendy, say what we all feel toward you, “God love you Glynis……..you are a true angel from above to us and a true model of a beautiful human being.’
We are eternally grateful for everything.
Be assured Guyana, we will be back again and that our friends and supporters in Guyana will continue to help us find our boys.
We continue to pray for Pat, Wes and Chris.
Darren Furlotte
Sydney, Australia
