\u201cKofi B! as I affectionately called you! We were destined to be together! Though I was not a medical student, fate brought us together on that fateful day, when I boarded the medical school bus,\u201d said Rita Adubei Offei, wife of the late Dr Omane Boamah.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur friendship started and was nothing short of love and adventures. Our night walks from my home to buy kenkey and fish, and vice versa. I always looked forward to visiting you in school so we would embark on our walk to buy kenkey and fish. Thus, buying and eating kenkey together became our hallmark.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no doubt you would be a loving and perfect father of our children. In fact, I saw a father in you because you were the exact replica of my father. You also confirmed that when you met my dad the first time. You knew that you had a partner for life. You were truly God sent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour commitment and love was such that when you proposed, we got married on my birthday, and we have always had a double celebration on my birthdays and was hoping the same for this year too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started having kids, you were nothing short of a wonderful father. You were a great source of hope to me and the children. Despite your busy schedule as a Doctor and later in your political roles, you either bathed the children every morning or dressed them up while I bathed them. You were their favourite teacher, because you knew all their syllabus back to back. You always had a strict timetable for their studies but made room for play and adventures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were truly a family man, a definition of a genuine person with a pure heart of gold. In our years of marriage, you always asked \u2018Abena Rita, what will you do when I am not around.\u2019 I never answered you, and till today I don\u2019t have an answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will, with God\u2019s help, take care of mummy and our three kids, knowing who you are, I believe you will be looking down on us to guide us through from the heavens. <\/p>\n

\u201cKofi B! Thank you for loving me, thank you for loving the children, thank you for loving my family and all who came to know you. God be with you till we meet again. Rest in power, my love!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
