We celebrate you for the time we shared together. You were diligent, hardworking, social, philosophical and intrinsically a connoisseur. You were practical in all spheres of your life. Your fierce love for your family and your protective-ness of them was exhibited in how practical you were. Your advice and solutions were real, practical and well grounded. You were elegant. An elegance born of an innate sense of beauty and appreciation of colour. An elegance born of your fierce independence of thought and action. Death ends a life but not a relationship. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist. But for you, you lived.

To you Friends and Relatives: We are tremendously grateful for your prayers, contributions visits, calls and Messages. We can’t thank you enough. God bless you.

Min Okinda, nind gi Kwe.
