Lordy lordy lord, who knew Hanks had a beauty queen for a sister. RIP
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad, may she RIP. Jeez
ReplyDeleteMay her soul RIP.
ReplyDeleteBeauty is indeed fleeting.
This cancer scourge is getting too much.
Pls what is causing it?
Medically, there is no specific cause hence no cure for it.......
DeleteLoosing my mum to cancer as a child made me learn a whole lot about the disease. It is deadly and the pain involved is not what you wish on your enemy.
RIP Rita, hope you are in a better place
Infact it has become the number one killer of man these days. AIDS that was the most dreaded is now child's play. With the different types of cancer now.. as if it never existed, or we were oblivious to how quick it can kill. You know Nigerians are secretive and would not disclose their ailments except in extreme cases. Cancer has always existed, but in hush tones. The cause is what I couldn't tell, expect the experts enlighten us. Simply Dreadful
DeleteNo known cause or cure for now but our God the revealer of secrets will expose this demon call cancer very soon. Rip queen Rita.
Deletechai, Rest In Peace Rita..
