Asked on what her fondest memory of Papa Shirandula was, Wilbroda shared

We were also neighbors. At the time we were working on the project 'Mzee ni Wewe.'

His last days were some of the happiest days of his life. We laughed, shared food, and also shared concepts

He was so excited about this project.'' Shared Wilbroda
