My heart literally stopped when I lost you. But it had to start beating again for the sake of the girls.

We all miss you so much but we are strong just like you taught us to be. You are my angel. My lover forever. You will never be forgotten. NEVER.

It doesnt get any easier with each passing year, but I am holding on to the promise that we will meet again to part no more. I love you forever my lover. Hmmmm! It is well. Continue to rest my love. #rip.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Damasus married Aboderin in 1999.
