Robert Karuhanga says: God gives and takes. No one knew that you're going to meet your creator!. the few moments I spent with you yesterday evening will never erase in my memories. the way you said good bye to me before leaving will never come out of my memories.

Only to receive a call that you have gone. I could not believe it.you have gone too soon. any way God had good plan for you.

May your soul rest in eternal peace Fred Kasasira
