Habila Gambo Yelwa: “Even though we know it is a part of life, we are never prepared to say goodbye forever. Our hearts are heavy today because we have lost someone so special, but we also celebrate your life,
I can’t remember the last time I cried so much. You have left some wonderful memories in my heart that will never fade.
A thousand words won’t bring you back, I know because I’ve tried; neither will a thousand tears, I know because I’ve cried, I can’t hold the tears back.
Rest in peace Uncle
Dr. BARDE LUKA YELWA PhD”
