Oloto
I can’t believe you are no more.
Your news came to me as a shock.
You went to church, complained about it, and went to the hospital opposite your church. You sat down to complain to the receptionist about how u were feeling, but instead died immediately.
What a world
Vanity upon vanity
All is vanity.
Rest in peace, my friend
It’s a wrap”.
