People from different walks of life paid their last respects to late Jesuslee Fernandes, son of former minister Isidore Fernandes, who was laid to rest at the St Inez Cemetery in Panaji on Monday.
Jesuslee, the elder son of Isidore and former Panaji Councillor Pauline Fernandes, was running the Jesus e Goes, a Goan restaurant in Lisbon, and passed away after suffering a massive heart attack on April 5.
On account of the Holy Week and Easter celebrations, there was a delay in transporting the body from Lisbon to Goa and the funeral took place at the St Inez Church in Panaji after the body arrived on Monday.
Isidore’s daughter and son living in Austria and UK respectively also came down for the funeral.
South Goa MP Francisco Sardinha, other politicians from all over the State and people from different walks of life, including many from his Canacona constituency, attended the funeral service.
During the funeral service, priests paid rich tributes to Jesuslee, a well-known celebrity chef running a restaurant in Portugal.
