A Mother’s Legacy — Honored in Their Own Words

There is no greater tribute to a parent than the lives their children build — and the gratitude they carry along the way. Mrs. Linnie Mae Dunn Kesselly poured herself into her sons, shaping them into the accomplished men we see today — all built upon the strong foundation laid by their late father, Dr. Edward Binyah Kesselly.

In this emotional and deeply personal tribute, her four sons — Binyah, Varnii, Jallah, and Varflay — stood side-by-side to share how their mother’s love, discipline, and unwavering belief protected them, guided them, and pushed them to reach their full potential. She was their bubble — shielding them from chaos while preparing them for greatness.

Their voices, each unique yet connected by the same story, honored a mother who refused to let life defeat her children. Their tears revealed how deeply she shaped who they are today. Their presence alone was the testimony — four remarkable men, living evidence of her legacy.

They celebrated her life. They honored her sacrifices. They showed the world the power of a mother’s love — strengthened by a father’s legacy — and carried forward through the generations they now lead.

May her soul rest in perfect peace, and may her legacy continue to uplift generations.
