Monrovia-This moment is incredibly difficult for me. Brother, this is something I never expected something I never imagined I would be writing.
Today, we mourn the heartbreaking loss of the Deputy Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives, the Chairman of the people of Gbeapo in Monrovia. Hon. Commicks C. Chea, your passing is not ordinary this one hit us hard.
You were more than a public servant you were family. A man of wisdom, humility, and gratitude. You always made time to offer your advice, and you carried yourself with quiet strength and dignity. You were always present, always kind.
I am at a loss for words. Your death has shaken us. How do we say farewell to someone like you? How do we explain this pain to our people? But again it is written.
Sleep well, my brother. Yes, we will miss you deeply. To your family, to the people of Gbeapo, to the Honorable House of Representatives, and to the nation of Liberia our hearts are with you. May we all find strength in this time of sorrow.Youwill forever be remembered. Rest in peace, good man.
