It is unfortunate to read about the passing of Judy Figi who was a Board Member of the Friends of Sierra Leone (FoSL) position she worked tirelessly for the Development of Sierra Leone and to connect all the present and former PCs that served in Sierra Leone. My sympathy goes to Dave and the other extended family members not forgetting FoSL which she greatly cherished. Judy, you will be greatly  missed. Rest in perfect peace, Amen.

This is such a shock, Judy and Dave Figi met at Harford School for Girls in Moyamba when my parents ran the school from the mid-60s to early 70s. They were both single. Eventually they got married while they taught at the school - yep, like a romance out of a picture book! The Figis and the Fitzjohns (the family to which I belong) have remained close friends ever since those days at Harford. 

I had a memorable time as a FOSL Board member working alongside Judy, 2000-2001. I would keep up with her when she made her visits to DC, where I'm based. She had a genuine and undying love for Sierra Leone. She was young at heart until the end. May her wonderful soul rest in eternal peace and glory🙏🏾
