In a moving tribute, Pastor Kessie, a Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) Church pastor who lost his wife, two children, mother-in-law and a niece, said he feels empty without his wife.
He noted that one of his biggest regrets was that he could not say goodbye to his wife who was a pillar in his life.
"It is hard to accept your sudden death my dearest lover especially when I didn’t have the chance to say goodbye," Pastor Kessie said emotionally, adding "I wish you can hear me but you cannot."
