Veteran Nollywood actor, Prince Jide Kosoko has penned a moving tribute
to his late wife, Henrietta Kosoko who departed this earth last week.The
late actress has since been buried in her hometown. Jide, moved by the
tragedy that befell him making a total of three wives that have been
taken away from him by death wrote:
“I find it disheartening
that my treasured wife passed away at R-Jolad hospital. It was a
terrible shock because the sickness was so brief and never looked like a
terminal one. My darling Henrietta was not only a wonderful wife and
mother but she was my meticulous partner in my profession as well as
housekeeper and homemaker. She was a cheerful, friendly person and made
many warm friends.
Rita seldom, if ever criticized any person.
Instead, she preferred to refer to their good qualities. My wife was the
soul of honesty. She would never shade the truth no matter what the
consequences. It is difficult for me to estimate Rita. She departs this
sinful word with a substantial proportion of me. We did not only fall in
love but also built our relationship and were also fond of ourselves
till death.
She inspired me in ways I cannot explain. I have lost
a worthy helpmate but I have nothing but happy memories of her in this
world. Adieu Henrietta Kosoko. I sorrow now for my beloved wife but the
burden has been lessened by the many kindness shown my family and me.”
