Warm Tributes for a Life of Impact

Pwavi was more than a committed public servant; she was a sister, a confidant and a loyal associate whose sincerity and dedication left lasting impressions on everyone who knew her.” He emphasized that losing her was not just a public tragedy but a deeply personal one for those who cherished her loyalty and admired her character.
The commissioner went on to offer prayers for her family and loved ones, asking God to grant them strength during this difficult period.

“2 weeks ago she breezed into my office in Gwarimpa and in her lively manner, expressed how impressed she was at what we were doing and promised to make referrals! Alas it was the last time I’d see her. So devastating. My condolences big brother!”

“This is devastating indeed. I was actually planning to call her later today (Sunday). We always joked around on Sundays, and I would tease her that I was coming over for her famous Sunday rice and stew. Rest in peace, my dear friend Ijeoma. I’ve truly lost a sister.”
