“My niece will always be remembered for her good deeds, she was not just a good mother and wife to her husband and family but all who came across her. We are saddened by her death but we give all thanks to God because she left us with lovely memories. I’m here to condole with my brother and his family to be strong and take faith in God”, Arthur Eze said.
Responding on behalf of the family, Kalu thanked Eze for empathizing with his family in their moment of grief and for the role he played in ensuring that their wife and mother lived, stressing that they have accepted the occurrence as the will of God.
