UNCLE
It has been really difficult for me to put this down because I can't imagine writing a tribute for you so soon. When I got the sad news of your demise at the early hour of the 26th of April, 2021, it seemed like a dream to me, and yet it was, and is still a reality. So, brother is truly gone? What an irrecoverable loss! An epitome of beauty and intelligence has left us. You were the head of lgbafe dynasty. Why did you have to leave us this way without a farewell? However, as Christians, our solace is in God's word in Phil 1:21-23 that says "to live is Christ and to die is gain." As you go into the world of immortality where distance, space or time is of no consequence, we pray, you will be among the Galaxy of saints when you arrive the beautiful shore. I will always remember you for your words of wisdom, advice, your intuition, encouragement, caring personality and humor.
I love you dearly and would have wished you stay with us longer, but God knows it all and loves you more. In him, mortality has become immortality. I believe that he that is loved never dies but lives on in the hearts of the loved ones. So, brother, you may have gone but you live on in our hearts.
Rest well, the great historian.
Rest on until we meet again on the resurrection morning. May God grant eternal rest to your soul in heaven. Amen.
