I am so lucky to have gained Lucian as an uncle through marriage! Even when my husband, Kawami, would try to put him in his place, Lucian made it known- “Hey nephew, I love you!” Lucian will be greatly missed by both of us!

It was always a pleasure for me to be in BoBo’s presence. He kept me laughing. I will treasure most the memories I have of BoBo and his mother, Ms Helen together. I usually never saw one without the other. There is something sweet and special about a man who cherishes his mother. When Ms Helen passed a few months ago, I thought about BoBo often and I worried about him. Today I worry no more. The last words I would always speak to BoBo when we run into one another in town, I say for the last time now… “BoBo, tell Ms Helen I said ‘hello’”❤️
