Nollwyood actor Junior Pope died in April last year in a boat accident after he and three others drowned.
The actor and the crew were returning from the set of a movie they were shooting.
His wife Jenniffer Awele has paid tribute to the actor a year on. She spoke of the deep loss the family continue to face one year after his death.
"It's been one year of standing in the face of our unimaginable loss, and not a day has gone by without a thought of you. Your love still surrounds us, your laughter echoes in our hearts, and your presence is felt in the quiet moments when we miss you most."
She described the challenges she's been through the past one year.
"You have no idea how tough it's been, trying to stay strong for each other even as the world around us seems to be falling apart. The grief remains heavy, the absence left a void that words can never fill, but through it all, we look up for strength from heaven as a guiding light."
The mother of three revealed that two of her sons have been asking about their father.
"I still don't have the right words to respond to Jason and Jaden wanting to know if Daddy will fulfill his promise of taking them to a proper football academy and be present at their first official match. They said, 'Daddy told them he wouldn't miss it for anything in the world.' Then the littlest one (J papa as fondly called by daddy) Jamon, keeps asking when daddy is bringing the big toy car he promised him."
Additionally, she acknowledged those who stood by her, showing gratitude for this.
"We appreciate everyone who sympathized with us and stood and still stand by us through our time of grief. Words cannot express our heartfelt gratitude for your love and support towards us." she continued.
"To our beloved, you did not only leave us, your family, but so many who loved you and loved your works. It is so difficult and unbelievable to say these words, but still, continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty. You will always be in our hearts and our thoughts, and your memories and legacy will live on forever."
