This is really sad news and my heart goes out to her family
for a life cut short by unfortunate circumstance. Death is inevitable and that
is why it is important for us to think about how we want to be remembered after
we are gone. Here is a special tribute to kefee written by Sammie Tosin...

| The late Kefee |
One Step in a much Greater Journey......
The word 'loss' itself signifies the absence of something so
dear that nothing else in the world can replace. The loss of a dear one's life
brings feelings of emptiness and loneliness that seem to never cease. If the
loss is that of a person we lived with, then moving on seems next to
impossible. Every little thing reminds us of them. The empty chair in the
dining hall, the daily habit to go with them for drives, or to ask for their
suggestion when in a dilemma.
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart
stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. And that’s how I describe the loss
of multiple award-winning gospel singer, Kefee Don Momoh,who has been confirmed
dead. She passed on in the early hours of today, after being in coma for weeks
in an undisclosed hospital in America.
Kefee went into a coma, after collapsing on a 14-hour flight
on her way to Chicago for an event about two weeks ago. A close family source
revealed she was diagnosed of having pre-eclampsia – pregnancy induced high
blood pressure.
Kefee whose music career started at age eight in her church
choir, was famous for her gospel songs ‘Branama’ and ‘Kokoroko’. She won
several awards including the best collaboration Headies Award in 2010 in
Nigeria.
Until her death, she resided happily with her husband in the
US and managed her restaurant, Branama Kitchen, in Lagos.
