The widow, who is yet to come to terms with the demise of her husband, stated in her tribute: “Sweet, so it is true that you are no more. I can’t believe that you have gone so soon. You were my husband, my brother, my friend and mentor.

“Baby love, you were a caring, loving, God-fearing, calm and a thoughtful husband.”
