He wrote, “And so that day eventually came — the day my biggest fear stared me right in the face. November 16, 2025. Nothing has ever been this hard to deal with. No pain has ever pressed me so deeply.

“But have I known love? Oh yes, your version of it. It has held me and kept me covered all these years. In all, I give glory to God for the peaceful life she lived. My condolences go out to everyone who felt her warmth, love, patience, food, songs, and plenty of laughter.

“This right here was my friend, my rock, my mother. Nne’m o, Nne’m o, ezigbo oyi bu nne. Keep resting, baby. Bithyah, my baby.”
