Chizo, it feels surreal to write about you in this manner. You were always that boisterous person who was more than just a friend; honestly, you felt like a sister to me from the day we met. We shared so much—endless conversations, laughter that lifted our spirits, and moments that transformed ordinary days into something special. We discussed the latest fashion trends, spent time together at church events and picnics, and supported each other in our faith and daily lives. She confided in me deeply, trusting me with her hopes, struggles, and joys. We prayed together, cried together, and uplifted each other with love and understanding. Her presence was a blessing—warm, honest, and full of grace. Chizo, you were a woman of grace and elegance. You loved your family unconditionally. You often spoke of your children and your husband with affection. You always considered the welfare of others and insisted that your friends prioritize their well-being. You approached your job with heart and passion, turning every female friend you encountered into a sister. You pretty much adopted every student on your caseload. Though you are no longer here in body, your spirit remains with me always. I carry you in my heart, grateful for every moment we shared. I fondly called you “Nwunye Chuka”, and you fondly called me Chii. You were my sister in every sense of the word, and I will love and remember you always.
