Christy, it is true that physically you are no more, but your sweet memories linger on. We cannot forget in a hurry the word of encouragement you left for us through your music. Rest In Peace. We will always miss you and remember you for every single sweet thing you had done. Again, rest in peace, Essien. Jegede's life will never be the same again.
