Lit by Joseph Okonkwo(Jnr) 7th July 2015
its been 12 years since you're gone.Today is the 12th anniversary of your passing away from us your beloved children.I still cannot come to terms that you are no longer with us. you are everything a child will wish for a father.You lived your life for your family.You showed us love,you inspired us to live for what we believed in.I can remember the last conversation I had with you,as if you knew that we will never see again.You told me how proud you are of me and those words you said to me which have become the most inspirational words I have ever heard, still guides me as I strive to make my mark in life.I thank God for making me to know you closely and be your son.your legacy will be a shinning light for our generation and many more generations of your lineage.Love dad.Eternal rest grant him oh lord,may the soul of chief Joseph O Okonkwo(Snr) and the souls of the faithfull depart through the mercy of God, rest in peace
