Tam died on the December 29^th, 2001 shortly after giving birth to a new baby. She was 33 years old and left behind a little daughter, Mimi, her husband and the baby.

I knew her for about a year, then I was working with her in the customer services section at World Web Limited, Kaduna, an Internet Service Provider. She was such a friendly, nice person always willing to help others whenever she could sometimes staying so long at work that she’d begin to worry about her daughter Mimi. Sometimes she’d bring Mimi over to the office and we’d take turns playing with the cute little girl. Poor Mimi, she’d lost her father some years ago in a ghastly car accident (Tam remarried) and now she’s lost her mother as well. Tragic.

So, life goes. Death is a part of life and sooner or later we all get a taste of it.

We can only pray we end up amongst the best things in this world and the next.

I had to pay some last respects to a departed colleague.
