I was shocked this morning to learn of Arkue’s death. He was one of my favorite family member growing up. I immediately called my uncle Galimah Arku to informed him. He was in my life as far as I can remembered; in Buzzi quarters in Kakata with my grand uncle oldman Deddeh, his father, oldman Kaka and all of my aunts, uncles cousins and grandmothers. I am really sad and didn’t know that he had been sick. He was always at our house on Capital Hill. May his soul rest in peace. I will always remember him. My sympathy to his wife and children.

My deepest condolence to you Martha, and the rest of the Arkue family for the loss of your husband and father. May his soul rest in peace and light perpetual shine on him.
You may not remember me but I am the daughter of the late Priscilla McClain of Old Road, Gaye Town. I always thought about you and your family, including your mom and siblings.It is so unfortunate that I had to finally get in touch with you as a result of your loss. Hope we can take contact with one another after everything and when you are prepared to do so.
May the Lord strengthen you and the children during and after this time of your bereavement.
