A True Friend

Tunji used to attend First United Methodist Church, Hyattsville and he and l sang in the gospel choir. We became friends and l met his wife, Morenike when they got married. I attended his 50th birthday party at a restaurant. He and Morenike attended my 50th birthday party too. They also came to the New Year's day party in my new home in 2011. The last time l saw Tunji was July 22, 2018 after he informed me he was recovering from a stroke. He came to support me at a business event and wanted to join my team. A true gentleman. I spoke to him on his birthday October 9, 2020. Rest on my friend, the suffering is over. Rest in peace. I'll miss your smile.
