Siblings of the late Joy Brands Manager, Elvis Koku Kwashie, have expressed their deepest grief over the loss of their beloved brother.
The [two brothers and two sisters] said that their ‘hearts are sore with the grieve of losing’ the seasoned journalist.
In a tribute read at Elvis Kwashie’s funeral at the State House, Saturday, the siblings recounted how the Late Joy Brands Manager had been a leader to the family.
“Exactly two years ago, Daddy sadly left us, and you naturally filled the leadership vacuum his demise created. You were our physical and spiritual leader.
“Efo Koku, we cannot believe we have to write a tribute for you at this time. We always dreamt of growing old together and taking care of each other,” portions of the tribute read.
They further eulogised the seasoned journalist for his legacies and impact on the many people he worked with.
“Efo Koku, there’s so much we cannot put on paper. We take consolation in the fact that you came into this world, and from your humble beginnings, you made so much impact.
“In fact, we have been overwhelmed by how many people who told us about the way you touched them since your demise.”
Elvis’ siblings promised to keep alive his dreams for his three children.
