“When I lost you in 1993 to the cold hands of death, it was not a pleasant experience for me because you serve as my source of joy and happiness and that of your children too, you played a central and a vital role in the balance of the home even thou I got along few years after your demise, certain events & circumstances always trigger your loving memories.”
