The final message written by the wife of the late Volo Da Saint stands as a deeply emotional tribute — a farewell wrapped in love, gratitude and heartbreak. Read at his funeral by Volo’s sister, the message captures the essence of the man he was, the husband he became, and the future that was taken too soon.
In her letter, she begins by admitting that no words can fully express the depth of her pain. Yet, she reaches for the words *love*, *peace* and *gentle* — qualities that defined her husband. She remembers him as a man who knew exactly what he wanted from life, someone who worked tirelessly to reach his goals and make his family proud. To her, he was a man of purpose and character, someone whose determination shaped not only his career but their home.
She speaks directly to him as “Khanyayo,” sharing the anguish of losing him at her most vulnerable moment. They were on the verge of a new beginning, ready to start a fresh chapter as newlyweds and new parents. The heartbreak of having to continue without him — just as life was giving them new blessings — is a pain she struggles to express. Their dreams as a family were still unfolding, and now she must walk this road without the partner she loved so deeply.
Her message then turns to their daughter, whose name carries meaning far beyond coincidence. *Armani* — the name Volo chose long before he even met his baby girl — means *peace*. She believes this name now serves as a message and testimony for the entire family during their time of grief. It is a reminder of what Volo would want for them: unity, healing, and the strength to continue supporting one another. Through their daughter, he leaves them a symbolic call to find calm and hope, even in the midst of heartbreak.
She reflects on her husband as a man overflowing with affection — someone unafraid to express love openly and honestly. He ensured she felt safe, valued and truly happy in their marriage. That love, openly shared and consistently shown, has now become one of her most treasured memories.

The letter closes with a final declaration of love — a tender farewell to the man she affectionately calls *Myeni wam*, *Khanyayo*, *Volo (praises)*. Though her words come from a place of deep sorrow, they also shine with gratitude for the time they shared and the love they built.
Her message, now part of Volo’s legacy, is a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and the lasting impact of genuine love. Through her pain, she honours him — not just as an artist or public figure, but as a devoted partner, a loving father, and the peaceful force that anchored their family.
