Together, they shared heartfelt tributes and moments of silence, lighting candles and laying flowers in remembrance of the girls.

The crash led to both vehicles igniting, tragically resulting in the occupants of the Acura being burned beyond recognition.

The choice for a private burial allowed Maame’s family and friends to mourn in a more intimate setting, free from public scrutiny.
In the aftermath of this heartbreaking event, an outpouring of condolences has flooded social media, showcasing the significant impact Maame had on those around her.
