Lit by Toyin Daramola 11th October 2017
At my lowest ebb, Shina came along and became my friend in need & indeed! I'm eternally grateful to God that I got to know and be your friend because someone like you can only be found in a lifetime. You were so many things to so many people and I kept wondering aloud how you achieved that. Then you said this statement that summed you up so perfectly "I keep my friends no matter what" That, I have entrenched in my heart and will live by it daily. I doubt if I have your capacity to love or ability to influence but trust me, I will try Shina, my bestest friend, your death is bone-deep painful to me. Sleep on in the blossom of the One who loves you more than we do...
This candle was first lit on the 11th of October 2017 and will burn for 93 years 4 months and 21 days.
