On Tuesday July, 24 2012, at about 2:15p.m., the entire world was thrown into a state of mourning. The death was reported of his Excellency John Evans Atta Mills.

Atta Mills unique brand and legacy was characterized by his personal humility and devotion to the Christian faith, his unflinching believe in and support for peace, his unbridled respect for the rule of law and his often self-effacing and tension deflating sense of humour.

As president, his statements and proclamations have always been in consonance with these admirable.
