โREST IN PEACE, Nwanyi oma. Iโm shattered beyond words. The fact that I was about to pay for your flight ticket to come finish what we started only to here you went to be with Lord just last night is one of the toughest things Iโve ever had to deal with in recent times. I pray Iโm able to recover from this shock. Life is really just a mist. One minute you have it, the next you donโt.
For more than 20 years that Iโve known you, youโve been such an amazing, decent and lovely soul to be around. I never imagined youโd exit so unceremoniously. Words fail me
Sleep on, Cynthia. May your gentle soul rest on till we meet again in glory,โ he wrote..
