She was an extraordinary woman who embodied love, generosity, and total faith in God. We attest to her reassuring presence in the family and to those who had encounters with her directly or indirectly.
It was indeed a great privilege knowing her for a good number of years now. We know you are still here among us.
Thank you for reminding us that the present moment is precious and that we should make the most of it by loving fully and generously.
Your life has taught us that, when you love fully, only then you are truly alive!
Mrs Mercy Bako is alive!!!”
“While we know God in His infinite mercy will rest her soul and cause her family to be comforted in this time of distress we also prayed the this will not reoccur in the family,” he said.
He finally noted that this occurrence should be seen as the will of God and prayed for the repose of the soul of the departed.
