YOU WILL NEVER DIE PRECIOUS PATIENCE MIEBI OKOROTIE!
Like a comet, you have left the galaxy of stars!
You dropped after a terminal enemy named CANCER ravaged your peaceful life.
I weep not, I rather mock the malicious enemy that only killed your body!
Shame to it!
Your song so sonorous permeates and sinks, into deep recesses of countless beneficiaries of your peculiar feminity – as a meritorious pedagogue, amiable mother, counselor and strategic philanthropist.
Yes, Mother Patience – you may be late, but it cannot be late, to dance to the sweet sounding rhythm of your marvelous life!
Who says you are dead, when forever you will dwell in our hearts, because roses budded and blossomed in the fertility of your kindness?
From CARDOSO, to Bayelsa, and everywhere, you are being immortalized with love, as we etch your dignified name indelibly in the epitaph of greatness.
You Will Never Die Dear Mom!
