“Your commando is shattered. I can’t look at your pictures anymore. I can’t watch your movies anymore. Everything I have today is because of you. Boss, I love you. I will always love you. Keep resting till we meet again,” he added.

The heartfelt tribute left many mourners visibly emotional, with several attendees struggling to contain their tears as Miracle spoke.
