In Memoriam
 
The EFEO is deeply saddened at having to announce the death on Sunday, April 7, of our colleague Dolores Guerra, at the age of 51. Mme Guerra leaves behind her husband and their two sons, aged 22 and 17. She began her work for the EFEO in the Accounting Department in April of 2008 and she played an essential role in the team here at our headquarters thanks to her great professional and personal qualities that were appreciated by everyone. All those who had occasion to work with her will retain an indelible memory of her warm personality and the many bonds of friendship she was able to establish around herself. Along with our gratitude for all that Mme Guerra brought to the EFEO, we send our deepest sympathy to her dear ones.
