I am crying as I type this message. Your death is a stark reminder that our time here is short. We only met virtually through the PhD buddy programme and I could immediately see our common interests. Elvis, you really helped me to settle into the PhD programme within the first few months. You were kind, thoughtful, and always looked out for those around you. I couldn't inform you that my PhD upgrading viva went very before I heard about your sad demise. I will miss you, dear friend and brother. Until we meet to part no more.. Wariri
