Words cannot express the grief and sorrow in my heart. Illa was as close as a sister to me. I was with her 3 weeks ago and we had such a good time in her flat - eating, gisting and laughing our heads off. I didn't know it would be our last time together! I can't stop crying. May God give us all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Gloria Abugo (nee Ukpe).
