The part where he said "I got home and started looking for my wife" totally broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes. The Lord is continually your strength Sir. What a woman, what a legacy.

[@olayinkaajayi6270]

Ibidun's loss tore my heart to shreds even though i had never met her. Her genuineness is just so evident and there was a peace about her. She just comes across as an angel. Rest well.
