“Friends began to question why I chose you over all others. Little did they know that you were the complete, total package meant for me. You were and still are my all in all and meant more to me than words would ever explain. God must have brought us together for a reason,” she said as quoted by Citi FM.
“Though you were in the lime light you managed to stay humble and took great care of your home and family.”
