No words can describe the immense sorrow we all felt
The battle is over, rest in peace Aunty
You did not give up
Neither did we
Everyday we prayed for a miracle
for our Good Lord to have mercy on you
In school you were our teacher
Outside of school, you were the mother of our close friend
A guardian, a counselor, a mentor
A mom
We came to you for advise
We came to you for motherly guidance
You always had time for us
Sharing in our jokes
and laughing at our misdemeanor
laughing at our gossips
laughing at us
Your son and I are the best of friends
Since kids to adulthood
Rest in peace knowing that we will always be
The best of friends
It's true all the times he said he was at my house many a night
We would just sit by the porch
and talk all night
You didn't worry
You trusted him
You trusted me
You trusted us, our friendship
Because we are the best of friends
and that's what friends do
As we bid you farewell tonight and tomorrow
Rest in peace Aunty
knowing we will honour your memory
your selfless sacrifices
your endless love for your children and family
and your students
