Indeed, it’s been a sad beginning to the New Year for Africa’s next rated Super Modeling sensation and make-up artist, Cecil Chinyere.
The elegant run-way diva lost her dad, Mr. Paul Chukwuemeka Okafor to the cold hands of death on Wednesday, 2nd January 2013, after a brief illness. It was with a painful heart that she gave inkling on her social media page, of the passing unto glory of her beloved father,
He was until his graceful end, a benevolent man, a philanthropist and a hardworking individual who also contributed immensely to the development of the society. He lived an exemplary life to all and was a wonderful husband and father to his children.
The Christian wake-keeping was done on the 7th of February 2013.
Late Mr. Paul Chukwuemeka Okafor was later commited to mother earth at his hometown, Anambra State, in the South Eastern part of Nigeria.
He is survived by his lovely wife, Mrs. Chinelo C. Okafor and three splendid children. Among whom are multi-talented music power house Junior "Jay Wizzy" Okafor, Knight House's microphone wizard, Stanley Kamtochukwu "Kerry" Okafor and the adorable entrepreneur Cecil Chinyere Okafor.
ON BEHALF OF THE STAFF AND CREW OF CUBAZE MYKELZ’ BLOG, WITH A SORROWFUL HEART, SINCERELY COMMISERATE WITH THE ENTIRE OKAFOR FAMILY, AND PRAY THAT GOD IN HIS INFINITE MERCIES, GRANT THEM THE FORTITUDE TO BEAR THIS LOSS.
MAY HIS KIND SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE. (AMEN)
