Folks,

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Venus Cerant. He had been an Animator with CODEP for over two decades, working patiently with his teams to plant and nurture trees on the mountainsides.

His death was sudden, and it has hit us all hard following so closely on the heels of our losing Edvy Durandice.

In the picture below, he stands with other Animators after a meeting at the Depot. He is wearing a blue ball cap.

The trees are tipping their boughs.
