Grief and sorrow lay thick on Freetown, the capital of the Sierra Leone, today as the solemn civic laying out ceremony of the body of the First Mother of the Nation, Madam Alice Rosaline Koroma , drew thousands of mourners to the Miatta Conference Hall. According to Commentator, Vivian Stack-Davies, the body of Madam Koroma, the mother of the President of Sierra Leone, Dr.Ernest Bai Koroma, was laid out in a white bronze casket, with gold-coloured side panels and she was dressed in a remarkable blue, flowing shroud.
