Death leaves a void no one can fill. No one can ever take the place of this individual in the world. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.

Well, a Kenyan man identified as Sam Mkenya on Facebook has left many in tears after penning a tearjerking letter to late wife. Sam's wife passed away the other day though she didn't show any signs of sickness.

In a lengthy letter he posted on Facebook, Sam, who's yet to come to terms with the death of his wife, has described her as the best companion and jovial woman he ever met.

"She was So pretty, from Inside... The rest are her complementary

She was charming, jovial ever smiling even on tough times, she was easy going, she is Mad now, 2 minutes later she's Jovial. For the 10years I have lived with her, There has never been a dull moment with her. She was everyone's Love, from Being her Granddaddy Favourite girl to her friends' preferred company.

You've hurt everyone, I can't fathom that you will no longer come back. I touched you yesterday for the 15th time to confirm, I felt you were already turning cold, I touched your cheek, I was so hopeful that you will change your mind and open your eyes, but you didn't ,Your pretty smile had already vanished,I turned you,you were heavy and didn't even supported yourself. I couldn't hold my tears, I almost fainted, but I didn't give up. I'm coming again today, I know you might change your mind.

The couple was planning to go on a holiday but the man says he will not cancel the plans and will go ahead and book for their holiday even though his better half is no more.

Remember we have unfinished business, All your home decor and furniture we were planning to go pay Last Saturday? the shopping we did that Friday after clinic appointment? The salon appointment you had for tomorrow is still on, No one has canceled it. Your expensive hair extensions are still here with me. Baby you are going nowhere. Your baby girl is still here looking for you, she too knows you're playing hide and seek on her.

Your passport at Nyayo house will be ready this week. I will still go on and book our planned vacay, Our plans will not change.. No way..

The struggles, the highs, and lows we've gone through, your patience with me, your loyalty, the dreams we had together, YOUR strong faith in me. All the dreams and promises I had and made for you, our wedding, Our plans are still intact, it can't go down the drain Just like that. You know me soo well, that I don't give up easily, I won't give up on you, I will persist.

The good meals you usually cook, your organized life, your simple lifestyle, I love it, No one does better than you. I won't take any better offer from any one apart from you. You're a blessing to me,youre my hope, I have all my bets on you.

It's not Over until its OVER."
