Ruby. I’d like to offer my deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss. With God’s love and the support of those who care so much, may you find the comfort and strength that will help you now and through the days ahead.
I would like to “extend” my deepest condolences to the family of Sekou. May your memories of him sustain you now and forever. Peace be with you all!
Dear Ruby, This is so sad for you and your family. I remember going to the hospital after he was born. Your son was such a beautiful baby and you and Donald were so proud. Please remember all the good times.
There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of my friend. This has been a very difficult year for me due to this tragedy. I can’t imagine how his family feels. His passing was a loss for everyone who knew this brilliant man. I can only look forward to meeting him again one day. Till we meet again Sekou. Godspeed. Please keep listening to me when I talk to you as you did when you were here on earth.
