We still miss you, Angel. I still remember your words to me. You are never out of mind Xx
Dear all,
This website has been created in loving memory of our daughter, sister and friend Doyin Fagbenro. We will remember her forever and would like to celebrate her life, and memories of her in true Doyin fashion.
Please post your tributes for Doyin here and as many pictures, videos and stories, as possible.
Doyin was a big character (to say the least) and an absolute pleasure to be around. She touched so many lives in ways that won’t be forgotten. It would be lovely for us all to share our memories of Doyin so that friends and family worldwide can smile while reading them – no matter how random they are. Your pictures and words will keep her memory alive.
Feel free to share this link with people who know and love our angel. It will be updated from time to time with information and chapters of Doyin’s life.
God Bless,
The Fagbenro's

Darling DSF,
7 years on seems just like yesterday and sitting in the same room, observing you and not realising you will not get up to get a hug. It is not easy and through the pain, God has been too faithful. What an Awesome God we serve.
Every time I remember you, my heart is filled with praise and gratitude to God for the privilege and honour to look after you dearly.
Surely, the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. KORITBOTL DSF.
Love
Papa D

Our Doyin, we thank God for the good memories you left in our hearts. You were ebullient in life and in your glorious sleep in Christ, you are still ebullient. Just like Elisha, even in your eternal rest, you still touch lives who learnt about the trail you blazed while here.
I remember our last tele-conversation when I called you while in Abuja on a mission. I vividly recall your excitement on the phone. To say we miss you is an understatement. We love you BUT God loves you more. This is our consolation. Continue to REST IN PERFECT PEACE.

A million times I’ve needed you Doyin
A million times I’ve cried
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I’ve loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, no one else can ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone, part of me went with you, the day God called you home.
Continue to rest in peace my sweet ❤️

Dear Family and Friends
Both Wendy and I have been thinking about you these past few days. It is difficult to imagine the pain and grief that you must be feeling at such a troubled time.
I'm sure you would agree that at times like this prayer can provide enormous comfort. Philippines 4:7 says 'the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus'. Throwing our troubles and pain on God and his son can give us peace of mind and great comfort.
Although I never new Doyin each time I visit the grave side I feel that I did.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Take care and much love

Dear Doyin, your life summarizes the stanzas of the famous Hymn titled “Happiness is the Lord”. You were an epitome of a happy young lady who knew the savior, lived a life that lies within His favor and exhibited great fruits of the spirit. You were an incurable life-style soul winner, a dedicated worker in God’s vineyard and an exemplar in your sphere of influence, particularly the God’s Kingdom.
We have wrestled, and still wrestling, with why you had to leave too soon but we realized that you finished your God-ordained assignment and that God’s love outweighs our love for you. We will always remember the great legacy a young lady of your age left. We pray that this legacy will keep having ripple effects, especially amongst the generations to come.
We remember you today as we approach the fifth anniversary of your departure to paradise. Continue to rest in perfect peace.
With love,
GrandMa and GrandPa Rome

I have been at a loss for words ever since I found out. I keep thinking back to VBS in Rome in August 2005 and how much fun we had. You were so vibrant and a great helper! And I remember when you and your friends came over to my apartment and entertained me with your stories and jokes.
I cannot imagine how your family is dealing with this but I pray that the Lord will comfort them. You were such a jewel and I know that you are shining in heaven. Seeing all the wonderful photos of you is moving and I thank God for all the lives that you touched. You were (and are) loved by many and will be forever missed.
Rest in your Father's bosom beautiful one.
Lots of love, Lade.
