You log off, shut the world out, go to sleep with the hope that yesterday didn’t happen. Then you wake up, and it still stands. Death is cruel. Inevitable but still so cruel. 🥺 May Modimo le Badimo watch over and comfort the Ferguson family, what a loss. 💔 #RIPShonaFerguson pic.twitter.com/pPqvY6L8Xe

After reading the official statement that Shona Ferguson has passed on, my body went cold.
Death is the biggest theft that comes unannounced. My biggest condolences to the Ferguson Family.
