Detailing her gratitude list, Bassie counted her blessings, thankful that all the things — good and bad — she has endured have moulded her into the woman she is today.

Today I am thankful for family and friends, I am thankful for all the people I work with near and far. Today I am thankful for all the love that surrounds me. I am grateful for the lessons I have learnt. I am grateful for life experiences — the good, the bad and the ugly. They have defined the woman I am today. I continue to pray for guidance and wisdom as I journey in life. Today is gratitude day for me as I celebrate my birthday,” she said at the time.
