I had the huge pleasure of meeting and working with Rev. Sayibu this past December on a research trip to Ghana with my colleagues, some of whom have been collaborating with Rev. Sayibu for decades. He was instrumental in helping us to learn more about inclusive education in Ghana. Samata and Rev. Sayibu also welcomed us to their home and we shared a wonderful meal together with his accomplished and giving children. Rev. Sayibu and Samata also found the time to teach us about African fabrics, to ask their tailor to sew some clergy shirts for my husband's birthday, and to send them all the way to Canada's east coast. We also enjoyed sharing anecdotes about Guelph, where I grew up and attended university as did Rev. Sayibu. I can't express how much his--and their--welcome meant to our team and to me, personally. It is painful to grieve here on earth alongside his family and friends, yet Rev. Sayibu has earned his heavenly rest.
