Connie Ferguson celebrates Shona's heavenly 51st birthday
She lost her best friend, business partner, and husband, and even though nearly four years have passed since his departure, the void he left behind still feels incredibly raw. Losing a loved one is never easy - but losing one to a global pandemic added a layer of complexity to her grief. For Connie Ferguson, although the pain of losing her husband Shona Ferguson still lingers, love remains. As the Ferguson family says the Sho goes on. Connie Ferguson, the beloved South African actress and producer, took to social media to celebrate a significant milestone - her late husband Shona Ferguson's 51st birthday, who passed away on July 30, 2021, due to COVID-19 related complications. In her emotional tribute, Connie posted a picture of Shona wishing him a happy heavenly birthday, reminiscing about the time they spent together and cherishing the memories they made together as a couple.
