One senior 'Seun Adebusoye' passed me this 'Cotiner' in St. Lous Grammar school Akure 2003 when she graduated. She had the most warming smile I ever saw.
ReplyDeleteShe was the health prefect. Modesty, savvy, neat, Brilliant, beautiful and soft spoken.
I look for that senior tire for Facebook, till date, I no see her.
I hope she's well out there.
God's grace to her always.💐
See my fellow st.louis girl. I went to st.louis Kano. Finished 2006
