Dear family, loved ones and friends, It is with great sadness I announce that Dr. Rowland A. Anyanwu has passed on Thursday, October 10th 2019.  He was a great man who has sacrificed so much for so many.  We are forever in debt to him and for all he has provided for Mbaise. Please pray for our family as we grieve his loss. I am forever blessed that my grandfather was in the US to witness so many life accomplishments, including graduating with my master's degree at UPenn, where he also received his doctorate.  He was an inspiration to me, and I know he has inspired many more to achieve great things in our lives. It is time to give back to ensure his legacy will live on.  We are asking for support for his funeral services. We are working quickly to make arrangements to receive him in Nigeria so we may celebrate his life. These funds will go directly to costs including funeral arrangements, transportation, and all international documentation for legal purposes. We hope to reach this goal in the next 30 days. Please give what you can. Any and everything counts.  Thank you for your support, Kelechi (Danielle) Fitzgerald on behalf of Chioma Fitzgerald and family
