She had plans, dreams, and a future filled with purpose — but God, in His wisdom, called her home too soon.Today, we mourn, but we also remember. We remember the light she brought into our lives, the lives she touched, and the legacy she leaves behind. Pwavi’s memory will live on — not just in our words, but in our actions, our compassion, and our commitment to carry on what she stood for. Rest well, dear Pwavi. You were truly one of a kind.”
