Mama Chidimma!
Today will always be remembered as your last day with us although, it is six years today, but it looks like yesterday, I am happy you are resting in a better place. Mama I miss you dearly, I am proud to say that I am living by the examples of your humble, gentle, and peaceful nature which i hold so dear in my heart. Mama, since you left us things has not been the same but i am believing God for complete a restoration. Mama Chidimma, continue to rest in peace till we meet to part no more. 

Mama! Chidimma! Nwanyi Manari! Oje na Nwayo! Onye obi ume ani. Onye udo! Omalicha Mamam! I am doing great! I heard what you told me in your phone call in my dream two months ago. God is helping me. I will continue to make God proud and make you proud. I will continue to try my best, Mama! You lived an exemplary life. You sacrificed a lot! But it was all worth it at last. Your faith in God was unwavering. I watched and observed you. Initially I didn't and couldn't understand why you endured a lot from people but now I get it !!!! Some friends and family have hurt me, Mama, and disappointed me...and I have also hurt and disappointed some people...but I have learnt to let go..to forgive like you will always advise. I also learnt to talk things over like you had always done.. Hmmmm...Mama, it is not easy. But I remember your words, your prayers and how you gave and gave and gave!!! Even in the midst of lack, you gave whenever a need arose. Hmm I am strengthened that your life was pure evangelism!!! Ewo! Odiegwu! A nam anwa!!! Mama, I can never be exactly like you in meekness and everything because you were a special breed. People like you are very few on this planet earth. Your humility was extraordinary..but like I said, I am trying. I went through a lot last year but my trust and hope in God has been unshakable. I am unstoppable! I look at myself in the mirror and I see your face..People often tell me that I am looking more and more like you...I laugh...who else should I look like???? It's an honor and a privilege to be associated with you. Your beauty never went to your head. Even though you were a head-Turner way into your old age and until death. You were amazing...
even to the end. I love you forever! You spoke volumes with your silence and your songs Mama. I will cherish your sweet memories till the end of time. Hope you often see Chike your son. I miss both of you dearly. Continue to rest in peace until resurrection morning. Love from your precious daughter Ify Onochie- The Diadem.

My adopted mother:
We remember you today and everyday. Rest in peace.

Mama your departure has really affected everyone of us. Sometimes I had picked up the phone or wanted to ask how you were doing forgetting you have gone to be with the Lord. I always thank God that not only was I opportuned to know you, but also blessed to have learnt a lot of beautiful things from you which I will bless people I meet along the way with just the way you have blessed me. I miss you but I know we will meet again when the time comes. Je nke oma.

Mama, Chidimma! Nwanyimanari! I love you so much.Your beautiful soul went home to the lord June 19th last year. It's seems just like yesterday. How time flies. I often wonder what you are doing in heaven. I will forever miss your love and warmth. - Your daughter Ify Onochie

Silva and Family

Mama,I knew you not much, but the little and best l know of you was you were a prayer warrior. You prayed for your children, and not just your biological sons and daughters, alone. You prayed for all. May that prayer life continue to lead you, even as you live now among the angels and saints in heaven. May you continue to rest in peace Mama.

Just like a rose…….
Rose is known as the 'Queen of Flowers' This indicates that queenliness Beauty, Grace are its inherent qualities. No other flower surpasses it for its beauty, color and fragrance. This is the reason why it is considered a universally favorite flower. 
Rose, a symbol of love, the essence of beauty, the most beloved flower, and yet, the stem is filled with thorns. Yes you all know Roses have thorns. Why? You may wonder. Why would thorns be associated with something as beautiful and delicate as a rose flower? Thorns are there to protect the rose. Thorns help to ward off animals from eating the rose up.
Why am I talking about the rose flower today? Well because my mother was Just like a rose. She was just as beautiful, as admirable, as delicate!
And just like a rose, mama had to deal with the thorns that surrounded her. Everyone who knew mama very well, knew that she had all sorts of challenges in her health. But she carried every thorn with grace. She never let these challenges steal neither her joy nor her peace. She cared about other people more than she cared about herself. She gave joy and happiness to all who came her way. She enjoyed fellowship with others. And most importantly with God, the author and finisher of her faith. She cooked and shared the little that she had with others. Life was not about her. It was about us, those she loved deeply.
Just Like rose, the thorns made her better. She understood that having visual challenges at a certain time in her life could be her way of shutting out the world and focusing on her maker Jesus. She gained extra eyes. Spiritual eyes. She saw things that others could not see.
Paul talks about a thorn in his flesh that constantly caused him pain. Paul says that he earnestly prayed God to take the pain away. But what did God do? He did not remove it. Instead God told him ‘’My Grace is sufficient for you’’ Like Paul, we prayed and prayed for mama’s healing. But instead God topped up His grace for her. Amidst the uncountable hospital stays and emergency room visits and finally hospice care, mama kept receiving more and more grace to deal wit h her pains, with her thorns. And she looked even more radiant than she had ever been. People marveled at her skin, her voice, her intelligence and memory. Everything beautiful and complete. Even her teeth at her age did not show any signs of aging. That is the power that lies in God’s grace. The power of redemption and restoration.
Mama’s life is being celebrated today because of God’s grace that isolated her a beautiful rose flower , delicate, radiant, wise, loving, discerning yet surrounded with thorns. And today my heavy heart is mixed with extreme Joy as we celebrate God’s faithfulness in her life because God gave me the opportunity to tend to this beautiful rose garden. It didn't just happen. I asked for it. And God gave me the chance. I thank the lord for renewing our strength as we went through the journey.
First he gave me a selfless, resilient and loving husband then He surrounded me with a host of wonderful family and friends who helped to hold my hands so that they will not get weary. Some wonderful women who gave care to Mama at her most volatile times and some super supportive men and women of God who backed us up in prayers and gave us their loving support. Yes many of you seated here today did this job together with us.
May God bless you all and cause overdose of His grace in your lives in Jesus name. Thank you all for coming. Mama, you are already in your heavenly home. But your I feel you in your now, earthly home. Right here in my heart. You will live for ever.
Chidimma! Nwanyi Manari! Oje na nwayo! Nnem Oyoyo nwanyi, je n’udo! If you were a flower mama, you’ll be a rose. -Ify Onochie

TRIBUTE TO MY BEAUTIFUL GRANNY.
 Oh death...I was so devastated wen I heard d news of your dismissal not because I didn't know that will visit anyone anytime but because my hope to see you coming back from America has been ruined. Whenever I think abt dat, I get depressed and sad because u were such a caring and loving mother to me and my mum.
  I called you grand mum because you were like a true mother to my mum"Julie nwam" as u foundly called her even though u were not her biological mother . I can never forget d love and hospitality you showered us with when u were here. Each time I brought out d necklace you gave me the day I and mum came to give you the food stuffs u requested for ur trip to American, I asked myself "when am I goin to see u again"?....To let u know that your piece of advise really helped me. U told me to be a good girl, work hard so that I wl have good education, good work and good husband. I listened and obeyed you and today I have gotten all your good wishes in life but its soo painful and sad that you are not here to Congratulate me...God knows best.
    Mama, even though we are mourning you today, I take solace in the fact that God has called you to enjoy elternal bliss with him. Our consolation is that u lived a good Christian and full filled life while on earth. May your soul continue resting in our Lord's bossom, Amen.
  Good nite our sweet mother.  
From Mrs.Julie Akpamgbo and her daughter Oly E. Arinze.

My dear grandmother Eunice Chidimma Nwonukwue ( Mama as I call her), was a wonderful woman.
I will miss everything about Mama, her voice, her presence in the house and her cheerful laughter. She was a force of nature.
Thank you Mama for your care, sacrifice and love. Your sacrifice made me a better person and the legacy you have left will NEVER be forgotten.We thank God for a life well spent, rest in perfect peace MAMA

TRIBUTE TO MY SWEET MOTHER
On 19TH June 2014 will forever remain indelible and engraved in my heart when I receive a phone call from my sister, tearfully, informing me of your demise. immediately, my world was eclipsed with grief and a cold feeling ran through my vein and spine. It seems as the world has ended.
    Mama I will never forget you because you are my role model in everything especially in living a good life, you thought me that a good name is far better than wealth. That integrity can never be bought with money, that hardworking and dedication to one's duty is essential for life's fulfillment, for these, who knew you personally the wonderful things they told me about you made me realized that you are indeed a great woman. I thank you for all the lessons of life that you thought me only by words but truly by your exemplary life.
     death has done it worst; it can do no more than take you away from us physically but we know that spiritually you are alive in with God and in with us.
    May you experience the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the last day?

Mama, your sweet and loving memories will forever dwell in our hearts. The little time that I was opportune to spend around you was more than enough for me to know how loving and caring a mother you were. Even in your weakest and last days, you found some strength to offer those reassuring prayers to me. I say thank you mama because those actually led me on. It's a pity you couldn't stay to see the beautiful baby girl that your prayers contributed to bringing to the world. God knows best even though we wish you could have stayed a bit longer, we are consoled knowing that you are resting in your heavenly home. Rest on mama. Your memories will forever live in our hearts.        For Bertram U.C Ekenwa and family.

It's amazing how we unconsciously go through life denying the obvious, Death. We knew Mama was old having lived a good life, but believe me, I was shocked to hear of her passing. Like it would never happen.
Now that it has happened, we are forced to reminisce on the loving, motherly christian virtues she left us, especially that of being joyful and grateful to God always. Mama had a memory that kept amazing us as she kept up with the latest events in everyone life. She even sized us up by holding our wrists to advice if we should lose weight. Whoa! How caring.
Notably, we dare not forget celebration of 'Mother's Day' when the whole family would assemble in her room for fellowship, prayers and thereafter take 'The Holy Communion', which she always longed for.
Mama it's now time to have communion with your Maker. So enjoy!
You are greatly missed.
Adieu.


Ogee & Adesuwa Nwankwo family.

A precious one is gone, a voice we loved is stilled, Mama you were a kind-hearted person, Loyal and loving in the eyes of everyone. You made sure there was absolute unity and oneness in your family. You are a compassionate, loving, generous and sincere Mother. You cared and loved your family dearly. Though on earth no more, You will not be Forgotten.

What a sad moment when I learned of your passing into glory. The Memories of my visit with you this past April was a joyful one. Immediately mama knew it was me,she took my hand, kissed it and held onto it until she inquired of the health of our relatives and their children. Her skin was glowing, she was overly joyed that for a moment I forgot she was battling a serious illness.


Mama was a woman of Faith, So I say to you my sister (Ifeoma) what mama is most likely to say.
"I am following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call. I found peace on that day. Don't grieve for me now, For now I am Free."


Mama's glorious passage into immortality is indeed a celebration of a life of fulfillment and God's grace. You were truly a special woman. You may have passed on but your memories will always live on. My family and I shall miss you as you go to rest in the bosom of the Lord.

My EGOVIN, (Mama's face would lit up whenever l called her in this manner). Omalicha, the Truest, Dearest, Precious Gift from the Almighty God. My EGOVIN, so much beauty inside out, so much GRACE, LOVE and PATIENCE, MAMA, these and many more you possessed!. My EGOVIN, you were simply UNIQUE and carried the the presence of God because the air around you was always peaceful and full of love. What can l say, you were just an ANGEL. 

I will always cherish my privileged moments with you, Mama. They were quite glorious especially our worship and prayer times in the presence of God. Even on your sick bed, your strength and smile touched hearts. You were truly an encourager.

My EGOVIN no words can ever be adequate in describing you, MAMA. But one thing that will always stand out about you is your love for JESUS CHRIST whom you wisely made your Friend and encouraged all to have so that we can see ourselves again in Heaven at the end of our sojourn here on Earth. You were in your special way a great Evangelist and a bundle of JOY to know MAMA.

Thank you Mama for all the love you showered on the children and myself each time we were in Atlanta. You never stopped asking after them by name. Mama, you were brilliant. You are surely resting in perfect peace in the blossom of the Almighty God. 

We all love you

Glad, Awi, Okey, Oby and Ify

Today you would have celebrated your birthday here on earth, but I know you are celebrating in heaven. May your soul forever Rest in Peace!
