My Darling Joy...I will forever be grateful to God for the friendship that we shared. I remember how and when we met during CIPM lectures in 2007 and how we clicked from the onset.You always inspired and encouraged me and when I needed someone to talk to ....It was you. We could discuss anything;marriage ,kids,life!  
Joy, the baby girl we both spoke about arrived two days after you were laid to rest.I miss you so much my dear friend.I can't believe you are gone.
My soft spoken Joy,ever willing to listen,counsel and encourage.Your love for Oma,Nonso and Isitor was undeniable.I remember how you sent Oma's party pack to me at work. If I had known that friday was the last time we'd chat, I'd have told you how much I loved you and cherished our friendship.
I am certain we will meet in heaven. I have you in my heart. Its not goodbye,Its goodnight.God loves you more.
 

My friend Joy

August 23, 2012
A dear friend sent me an sms a few days ago saying we are dear friends even if we didnt see every day. And that is exactly what i consider you to be ; a dear friend. We met in MBA school and even though we ended in different specialities you kept in touch. I have always been bad with keeping in touch and i remember the last time we spoke, you had called so i was merely returning the missed call. We had chatted about a lot of things, you encouraged me about my project and all, and i kept the call thinking you had called for a particular reason only to have you say "l just wanted to say hello"! I truly remember driving out of the parking lot with a big smile thinking about your thoughtfulness and sweetness and making a mental note to call more often.Oh, how wrong i was. A very caring, gentle Spirit yet with a dogged and resilent interior. I remember when you were pregnant and exams were close. You would say you had slept of the night before and couldnt sleep.Yet you will come in the morning , determined to read as much as possible... Have I mentioned your generousity? I made a simple comment about liking your bag and you replied saying you didnt even carry it often and asked me to write out my ad. Only to have the bag cargoed to me a few days later! I couldnt be there today cos of work and I feel like i have deprived of something precious. Loveable , wonderful and beautiful Joy, my heart goes to your family you know you better and so most certainly, their pain will be on a higher pedestal. God obviously loves you more.... Rest on, beloved.

The Medicated Glasses

June 16, 2012

I would never forget the story behind this medicated glasses of yours, I remember when you came back from school and complained about your eyes.... Dad sent you to the optician, I was so jealous cos i thought it was cool and expensive.. I went on to  say my own eyes were aching... I got to the optician and read all the alphabets on the board sadly :) when the optician said my eyes were ok, i kept on saying NO NO No... LOL... Love you forever.

A study in humility

June 12, 2012

Joy was a peaceful and very serene personality, yet highly intelligent. She was an active member of the Unilag MBA HR specialization class. This lady had a studied manner and approach to tackling humanity problems, she could walk up to see what your problem was, once she noticed you wear a downcast face, she talks like a baby and cares like a mother. I used to sit close to joy during HR lectures in Unilag MBA, to have a feel of the tranquility that surrounds her. I greatly miss her serene personality, but i am assured that peace, joy and happiness will forever dwell with the family she left behind, and also follow her whereever she might be....surely in the bosom of the lord. Good bye, dear coursemate.

Sleep on classmate

Joy is an example of tranquility. We were in MBA class of 2010 in Unilag and I can still remember how easy going and calm she appears in class and leaves after lectures. I feel very deep sorrow thinking about all that and I pray that God will give the husband fortitude to bear this loss. He will watch over the kid and the entire family. You will be sorely missed.

If you do not have a sister, and you meet Raphael-Joy, you will not but go green with envy! Raphael will always be occupied at Joy's place almost every other time when he is not at work. More often than not, he will be at the movies with Joy and family, always a date he never misses for anything.
There is hardly anyone of Raphael's friends who has not heard about Joy, 'cos he will not make 10 sentences without Joy's name being there.
He was practically fond of her. I haven't met her one-on-one, but believe you me, I soooo know a lot about her, don't even ask me to start, (& I am only a colleague/friend of Raphael's).
When she was pregnant, they were pregnant together, (ask me how i knew she was pregnant). Baby Naomi literarilly is Raphael's first child. You needed to have seen the beams of Joy all over his face at her birth. He practically changed his name to "Uncle Isitor" for months! And you must address him as such. (Don't just let me start, i'm writing thesis already)...
Joy dear, honestly, you shouldn't have gone, left to me. You should have stayed alive! I needed to meet you physically! Hmmmmmmm!!! But it is okay, even as it seems soooo not right! You will be fondly remembered, Sweet Soul.

She was the best Big sis Isitor had.

I was not so close to Joy, but it always felt like i was because she was all isitor could talk about everytime we hang out. You could see the joy in his face when he talked about her and when he was going to visit her, he was always like a baby about to be given ice cream especially when she got married and added David and beautiful baby girl Naomi to her life. she had so much love to go round. we miss you Joy, but am definately sure David, Issy, Naomi and your entire will miss you abundantly. Till we meet again. sleep well in the lord.
