Subject: Ebola Struck Close to Home
To: Benetta Tarr < “H. Urias Harrington”
Dear All, My junior sister, Princess Christina Nyennetue (Age 27) died on Tuesday July 8th at the St. Joseph Catholic Hospital.
At my request, the Ministry of Health agreed to extract blood specimens from her body in search for cause of death and the result just came in this morning…she died of Ebola Disease.
Princess was the only girl child of my mother’s 5 children…this make it particularly difficult for us especially for my mother who lives alone in Southwest Philadelphia .
If you Facebook searched my late sister Princess, you will soon realize that death has cheated a promising young life. Thanks to you all once more for your many messages of condolence and best wishes. Good day.
