Dear fellow mourners, thank you for standing with us in this trying moment.
Rest in peace my lovely sister Susan, smile and laugh at the villains who have brutally killed you. For you are at peace, much as you leave us in pain, your callous killers will be haunted all the days of their lives.
I laugh at them with you, for it couldn’t have been you my humble, loving, smiling apple, lovely sister.
You never quarrelled with anyone. You talked with everyone, you went about everything with gentle calm that made me admire you my sister.
When things were tough Susan would say weewe! Then keep quiet. Susan your smile was your signature, that we often teased with Renatta and Redempta that these our big Panadol’s (teeth) cannot be kept inside.
Smile and laugh at the greedy murderers. Oh Susan you had beautiful sense of humour.
Susan went about her everything with ease and calmness, sometimes I almost felt she was not as aggressive as I was, maybe as a bigger one I had to be aggressive or feign to be, so that my sister does not aim for anything less than what I thought she should be.
Susan’s mother died when Susan was about 15 years. Surprisingly, a couple of months before Susan’s mum died, she came to Makerere university where I was a student and asked me to go with her to visit, Susan’s younger sister Agnes Mpanga.
She requested me to always take care of Susan ad her siblings. I only understood what Adyeeri meant after her passing on. From that time, I took Susan as my daughter and assured her that she has a mother in me and her aunties.
I passed on her cloths. oh, Susan was always smart, she loved to dress up. I made sure I looked for the schools where she studied. I felt I had grown enough to relieve aunt Flora of the responsibility of taking care of all of us. Aunt Flora, on behalf of Susan and Dad and all of us, thank you so much for heartily taking care of Susan. Even now you were on the frontline fighting for the Susan.
