“We love you,” she added. “You are our family.”
Meanwhile, Melvin, who shared a close bond Ojeh, reflected on his friend’s devotion to his family.
“One thing he always talked about—he talked about those kids,” he said. “He loved those kids more than anything else in this world, and was just so proud. He was that dad that was on the sidelines at every soccer game. He was at all the concerts and the recitals. He was that guy, and they had such a beautiful love story.”
