I am very proud to have a cousin as dedicated, accomplished and loving as you. You are also a great mother to your children and a most loving wife to my late cousin Solomon. I can clearly see that he "married up" when he married you. Like your parents before you, you and Solomon have done us all very, very proud in The Gambia. We should all strive to build on your incredible legacy.

Love you lots.
p.s. the lighting on your photo needs to be "photoshoped" and brightened a bit. It's a bit too dark. Or, maybe change the photo to a brighter one?

Mr Njie, i am happy to have been of service to you by providing this information. You may not know that acquiring the picture was one major difficulty for me. I could only manage to have this one.
It will be a delight if someone can provide the picture. Unfortunately, as a layman in photoshop, I may find it difficult to upgrade the picture but I will try.
Thanks for the suggestion.
