It's been 1 year now & it seems like I saw my dad yesterday. Not a day goes by where I do not think of him or miss him. Life is not the same. I'll always & forever be my daddys girl.

Johnny Mamma was the people for the people. His Presidential sewa locked a key impact on many Indo Fijians leaving the sugar cane fields. I am a better person today because of him. I really miss that poor fellow. His smile was refreshing. He treated me like a son. His legacy will never die.
