Lit by Eric Amedzo 25th November 2015
Abena or Sixo as we liked to call you, We first met as very young children in Morning Star School and despite being tiny, your strength shone through your eyes and infectious smile. Your warm personality was a joy to behold and you never had any airs. We made it out of MSS and into Achimota School where you endeared yourself to our new mates for the three years you spent with us. Somehow after you left, we lost touch but you never forgot about us. Everyone can attest to how you reached out to reconnect and that goes to show your love. And in the short years we spent together after reconnecting, you never let us down. Through it all, you carried yourself with pride and courage through all your illnesses but alas, God has a better plan for you. We will forever remember you and cherish that memory. Go in peace and never let the smile dim. God be with you till we meet again, Abena.
This candle was first lit on the 25th of November 2015 and will burn for 91 years 6 months and 8 days.
