May the good Lord receive you in His heavenly glory. You took personal interest in my political and legal journey. Once I was on a television programme, you would be sending me pointers. Thank you, senior. Cadres may go. Cadres may come. The revolution has come to stay. Ambassador Sam Pee Yalley, true comrade.

Death, in its cruel and untimely way, has stolen you from us far too soon. My heart is heavy, and words fail to capture the sorrow I feel. Rest peacefully, Ambassador, in the eternal embrace of the Lord.
