Penning down this tribute is so surreal and heart wrenching, It’s hard to comprehend that you’re no longer here with us.

The memories of when we were young fills my mind just like yesterday. How we moved around in matching outfits that mama always made for us, as people often mistake us as twins.
Our visits to Uncle StayBright studios, as his amateur models, strutting around like we owned the place, posing for the camera with all the confidence in the world. These memories are etched in my mind forever

You always had a burst of infectious energy, how you light up the room with your hearty and husky laughter, always the life of the party and readily to do exciting and fun things. You had a special ability to make the most mundane moments unforgettable. The queen of drama, never a dull moment with you!!

“Sister-me” (as we called ourselves), I often pick up my phone to call and catch up with you, and remember you are no longer here with us. Our last conversation was at your hospital bed. You were making plans to come back for mama’s birthday. You were still organising and taking care of everyone as you always do.
Sister-me, I deeply miss you, we all miss you.

Though you may no longer be physically present, but you continually live on in our hearts. We carry your laughter, your love, and your essence in our hearts always.
Until we meet again, dear sister, know that you are deeply loved and profoundly missed. Rest in peace, my dearest.
