Lit by Obinna Kalu Ume 4th October 2020
Dear Tope, Your light, your laugh, your witty remarks when I am being silly at the office. You, always reminding me of how handsome my dad is for his age, our various discussions on marriage and life in general. You always being there to encourage me when people were being mean. You were the first to call me when I was laid off by HEOSL. You said "I would miss you and your crazy, I know you'll get something better and we would celebrate it". I finally got something better but you aren't here to celebrate with me. I most especially would never forget the love and listening ear you always gave me. I would forever be grateful to God to have met you. As I'll always say to You, I love you Lady Tope & your response would be "mmagi ura" in igbo (if I slap you eh) and we would laugh over it. Thank you for being a light to many. I believe in the power of a good heart and your heart is pure with so much light that has lit so many lives. With a heavy heart I say I LOVE YOU Lady Tope. Thank you for being true.
