My Memories of Manuel Cardona

It is hard for me to lift the pen delivering this eulogy for you, dear Manuel Cardona. The preparation of these memories has been difficult, but also very rewarding. It allowed me to reflect on the time I had the privilege to spend together with Manuel Cardona and to remember what a wonderful and intelligent person he was. I am glad that I have the opportunity to share some of these memories with you and some of the attributes that made Manuel Cardona so special.
