He wrote: REST IN PEACE, Nwanyi oma. I am shattered beyond words. The fact that I was about to pay for your flight ticket to come and finish what we started only to hear you went to be with the Lord just last night is one of the toughest things I’ve had to deal with in recent times.
“I pray I am able to recover from the shock. Life is really just a mist. One minute you have it, the next you don’t. For more than 20 years that I have known you, you ‘ve been such an amazing, decent and lovely soul to be around. Word fail me. May your gentle soul rest on till we meet again in glory. #CynthiaOkereke.
