TRIBUTE TO UNCLE JOE

Uncle, the laws above your death came to me as a shock because I had in mind that you will be
the first person to bless my certificate or the new career that have gone in for. I left you at the age
of eight and coming ten years later, I could still make out the road leading to the house in which I
met you at Mbende Street Daddy was amazed to note that I could still recognize the road.
Uncle Joe no one can ask God why he allowed this to happen so soon for he knows
everything. I will always join my brothers and sisters to pray for a peaceful repose of your soul.
