In loving memory of my dear Auntie, who was not only the one who named me but also a guiding light in my life. Her warmth, wisdom, and unwavering love have left an indelible mark on all who knew her. Auntie had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel special and cherished, and her laughter was a source of joy that will be truly missed. Though she is no longer with us, her spirit and the beautiful memories we shared will forever remain in our hearts. Rest in peace, dear Auntie. You will...
