Actress, entrepreneur, and executive producer Connie Ferguson recently shared two deeply emotional birthday tributes—one to her late husband, Shona Ferguson, and another to her grandson, who just turned 10 years old.
On what would have been Shona’s 51st birthday, Connie took to Instagram to express her love and lasting memories of the man she affectionately called “My Skat.” In a heartfelt message, she wrote:
“My KING would have been 51 today! Happy Heavenly Birthday MY SKAT. Conversations about you always end up in laughter! You gave us such a good happy life! Thank you for the beautiful memories! They’ve really kept us going even in the most challenging circumstances. I LOVE YOU FOR ETERNITY!”
The post touched many fans and fellow celebrities, who also took a moment to remember Shona. Actress Sophie Ndaba commented, “Oh my bro. Happy Heavenly Birthday.” Actress Zenande Mfenyana added her tribute too, writing, “Happy Heavenly Birthday Mr Sho, forever in our hearts.”
While Connie honoured the memory of her late husband, she also had something to celebrate in the present. Just a day before, she marked a special moment in her grandson’s life—his 10th birthday.
In a warm and proud message, Connie shared,
“My boy celebrated 10 today! A whole decade! Time is seriously a scam shem! Happy birthday big boy!!! God loves you so much he’s crafting you with such precision and preparing you for greatness! Thank you for all that you are to me and the family. I love you KING Cal!”
Connie’s tributes show how much she values both the love she had with Shona and the joy she continues to find in her growing family.
