Fans,friends,ex-internationals,current internationals of the Black Queens and well wishers paid their last respects to Ghana's Patricia Ofori on the 11th of June,2011 in Accra,Ghana. Although a sad occasion,mourners kept Patiricia's warm spirit in their hearts and wore her smile on their faces as her mortal remains was laid to rest. A poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye aptly spells out what Patricia,affectionately called "Wagas" by her peers would have said.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
For those who were unable to attend the funeral of Patricia Ofori,here are a few of the photos taken.
