This is not true, Lady Princess is not dead, this is not true,\u201d Madam Mercy Frimpomaa, a sibling of Ebony\u2019s mother told Daily Graphic.<\/p>\n<p>Madam Frimpomaa said during the two-hour visit, Ebony \u201cwas all over her mother, hugging her and talking about how she has missed her mum\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Even when she was on her way, she called backed to tell her mother \u201cI have missed you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Madam Frimpomaa said when they informed her about the accident they were in disbelief. \u201cWe still did not believe the news until one of the elders of the family who went to the mortuary at Mankranso called to confirm the death of our daughter\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ebony\u2019s mother, surrounded by mourners, sat quietly, in a pensive mood and occasionally she sighed while resting her head in her palm.<\/p>\n<p>Ebony is the third and the last child of her mother. Her other siblings are Nana Kwarteng (eldest) and Happy Opoku Kwarteng.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of Ebony\u2019s family members speaking to Daily Graphic\u2019s Emmanuel Adu-Gyamerah Family members of music star, Ebony, say they can\u2019t come to terms with the shocking death of their beloved daughter.
