To the funeral coordinating team, your gesture of support in our time of need is immeasurable. Thank you for reaching out. To the GX Group, GX Lets, Pentagon Group, G-potters, the Doctors’ fraternity ably represented by Dr. John Ong’ech, the Legal, Accounting and Engineering fraternities, loving others well comes from the sincerity of a kind and compassionate heart.
