A beautiful young girl, the firstborn child to her parents and the first granddaughter – lovingly named Esona, meaning ‘the right one’ or ‘the chosen one’- a name that reflected the deep gratitude and love her parents felt upon welcoming her into their lives. She was the fulfillment of their prayers and a sign of great blessing from God. Her second name ‘Alakhe’ had us all envisaging and seeing through her, hope for wholistic growth for the greater family.  From the moment she arrived, Esona brought immeasurable joy to her family, and everyone privileged to cross her path. A daughter, a sister, a friend, and an angel, embodying kindness and a spirit that touched so many lives in her brief but impactful journey.
