Because of you, our family grew beyond blood, stretching across the length and breadth of Ghana, held together by trust, gratitude and love.

You touched lives in ways that cannot be counted, and your absence will leave a space that no one can fill’’  Hajia Ligbi concluded with the words, Rest well, my love. I will carry you in my heart for the rest of my days, and I thank Allah for the gift of twenty-eight years by your side.
