You were My big sister and you will forever remain in my heart. You had a beautiful heart and one of the warmest smiles I knew. Eventhough we had hoped for a different outcome we give thanks to God for you. Its hard and sad but we know you are in a better place.Rest in the Lord big Sis.
Love always.

Growing up together was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. You were taller and bigger and you always tried to bully me around.
I will challenge u and gently move you out of my way. It was always a repeated action because you knew I was not going to fight you back.
With no time I grew taller and bigger than you and you will always call on me to protect you wherever we went. I did indeed protect you and I promised myself to protect you in all times. We built so many beautiful memories together as we grew up. Attending the same primary and JSS as well as the same university was fun, had common friends and we loved to go out together, including doing long trips together. It was never a dull moment with us together and that is one of the thing I will surely miss.

In 2007 when Sickness raged through your life, I stood firmly beside you day and night beside your bed. I lost control of myself, I could not concentrate on my upcoming exams in that year, I would always get into class so late or not turn up at all and people wondered what I was up to as they realised that was so unlike me. I only kept it all to myself, praying and believing u will pull trough and gradually you started to come around, building strength each day and it felt very promising and fulfilling. I kept to my promise Irene, I did protect you, I did stay and stand by you.

You became stronger at heart when you finally came out of the hospital and gradually started learning a new way of life with the disability the sickness left you with. You Learnt to drive, you learnt to be more independent and you learnt to be entrepreneurial so you carry on with life as normal as possible.

Our bond continued to grow even stronger, I will talk to you several times each day and you served as my confidant, my armour and my advisor in chief. Your views to me guided all my final decisions I had to make in life and whoever needed to convince me will have to do that through u. 🥰 at a stage it became too obvious to everyone.

On the fateful afternoon of the 19th July I received a call to be informed Rene was not fairing too well from my Dad. The last few months was full of pain and agony for Irene. I shed tears sometimes when we spoke and she explained to me the level of her pain and weakness, we just looked forward to her getting better by the day. Little did we know that our lord had seen how tired she was and needed her to take her eternal rest with Him. It breaks my heart to believe you are no more and I could not protect you from death. I guess somethings are not humanly possible. You called me Man, you called me Super man, indeed I was your super Man. I believe God knows best and he has put you in a better place where you shall know no more pain.

Our chain in broken today but someday as the lord calls us we shall reconnect our chain. You are gone but not forgotten, our memories together shall keep my days bright. You will surely continue to hold that special place in my heart and I will forever love you Rene
