Much of whom we become in life is influenced by those we come in contact with, and allow them to pour into our lives. Today we honor our late Godmother whom we owe a great debt, for her many contributions to humanity. #IyaAdunniOlorisa we salute you, and we are eternally grateful to you! Sun Re O!! Rest In Peace!!!
