Her words were“ July 25th, 2017 started as a normal Tuesday for us. He just complained of heart pains and we took him to Igando Hospital and the rest is history. My husband was my best friend. We ate and jogged together everyday. Whenever I want to go out and I didn’t feel like driving, my husband would drop me off“ and awaited me at the door till I came in. We would chat till wee hours of the morning.
