‘’He called me after his birthday that I should come and take some the clothes he used for his birthday shoot. I told him not to worry, but I didn’t know he was passing a message across to me’’.
‘Yesterday, he sent money for a contribution we always do on Sundays, he sent it early, and I questioned his choice to send it early. His response was we don’t know what will happen the next day or in the next minute, I didn’t know he was bidding me farewell’’.
