We love you. Sweet memories of beautiful YOU will be forever! March 8 will be a celebration day for YOU... Olufikky, we'll live celebrating YOU!
Tributes
Leave a tributeDeath remains a mystery. But rather than wallow in grief and wonder when we will meet to part no more, I celebrate the woman you lived to be.
Today we had a Digital Marketing Workshop to celebrate your birthday and to "Inspire Inclusion".
Love you like kilode! Finding greater meaning in the gift of YOU, Olufikayo.
This month I became a Chaplain Resident in a hospital and there's a lot I would have shared with you. Today, during reflection we talked about JUSTICE and how many people respond to injustice with silence rather than say something...
One thing still makes me smile about you, your beautiful smile, your humane heart, the beautiful memories we shared, your selflessness and sacrifices you made especially at Unstoppable Generation Parish. I wonder if they'll remember you today. But we do...
We remember Olufikimi. Your candle is lit in my heart.
Love always. ❤
YOU remain beautiful... in my mind, heart and my eyes.
Today, we honour you again with an edition of Inspire to Excel... We have put in so much work because you personify excellence.
You were denied equity is some sphere but today we call everyone to #EmbraceEquity. As women globally celebrate International Women's Day, we celebrate your day of birth - March 8, your achievements, the lives you positively impacted, the grace that flows through the sacrifices you made to see others excel.
You are never forgotten... The beautiful memories we created together across the world, lives.
You are never forgotten and your loving memories I cherished and will always remain with me.
Continue to rest in peace and in power my ever smiling Angel.
Keep the fellowship up there dearestMi….
❤️
Continue to rest in peace my ever smiling Angel.

We both agreed that love is a verb. In your honour we commemorated Women’s Day again today... I have no doubt that heaven celebrates the gift you are to Mother Earth every March 8. The legacy you bequeathed and the joy you exemplified speaks still. Love always!
You came and showed what life in Christ should be.
You lived and won all through smiling into heaven.
See you some day.
Hmmmmmmm.
Miss you forever.
warmth, warfare and that you were indeed a wonder!
I recounted to a friend how you appeared at the foot of the bed in my room on an unscheduled visit. You said nothing but the light glowed as I said sternly, “Olufiki, what are you doing here! Go back! Please return to your body! Not now dear! Not now!
(I was in the throes of death myself and wished it was me and not you.)
I wish I held you...
I wish I held you right there to speak you back to life... I realised late that it was rather late...
Heaven called and you already answered.
You came to show and share that the light you are have received PERMANENCE to SHINE in FOREVER SMILE.
Tears flow down my cheek as I type this... I thought I won over being teary. I thought I translated the grief and gloom to grace... I thought... Now I know, I’ll always miss you.
You’ll always be the smile. The smile that lived. The smile that loved. The smile that lifted. The smile that bade farewell to life’s anguish to usher in heaven’s affluence.
You still light up my mind even through my tears, as I relish the memory we shared.
One day it would be good morning beautiful. I have no doubt I’ll meet you smiling.
It’s been a while learning this difficult rope of playing alone
It’s so many long days and longer nights
I am learning to laugh alone
The jokes we shared
The fond memories
The trying times
I recall them all
Many times I cried
A numbers of times I wailed
Sometimes I smiled
There were even times
I could only laugh
So much grace I had
So much kindness I was shown
For such an angel to have been mine to hold
Mine to serve
Mine to have
It’s been a long road to coping
You are now farther than a call away
It’s been a long winding road to getting it
A ping will fail to ring
An angry face emoticon will be inadequate
A kiss will be insufficient
To get you clicking the call button
So when we start, we may begin with that all-too-familiar roar of laughter
I knew how to make you laugh
All I was after was the beauty of that face of yours in happiness
You made me laugh too
When life’s blows were a lot to bear
You taught me how to say no to fear
Who will I call at odd hours now?
Who will I say it to just the way it is without the fear of judgement?
Who will I make my confessions to without losing my honour’s badge?
Who will I tell I have been a terror and leave still a hero?
Who? Who will be you?
Life is different without you my dearest one
But the memory of that ringing laughter of yours makes a difference like none
Its been a while since I found that things will always be different while I grope with coping forever
‘Coping with Forever’, A poem by Motunrayo Famuyiwa-Alaka written in memory of Olufikayo Famuyiwa-Keazor in commemoration of the latter’s 40th posthumous birthday in 2017. Revised on Olufikayo’s 5th remembrance anniversary on 14092021. Dedicated to all you have fell the anguish of losing a most loved one.
We just had an Inspire to Excel Conference in your honour. We started sharing your legacy with an event in 2016 attended by family and friends.
Later that year OAK Foundation was instituted and I also supported those living with cancer with N40,000 each. The beenficiaries remain thankful.
We continued that for a while before we were led by the Holy Spirit to embark on FGCO Repair Project. We cleaned and cleared in and out, did the roof, the doors and just recently did the tiles. We also counselled the students - I visited Osun and of course Cross House! I told them about you.
We are still trusting God will send us givers to write off the N1.5M invested in the tiles and more to be invested in chairs etc. We won’t atop until many can feel excellence in the Chapel. It was very well worth it as you would never have wanted to see the Chapel of God’s Excellent Spirit in a state of disrepair.
Today was great my love! We had another Inspire to Excel Conference with a Speaker you would have loved - Prof. Olabisi Olawuyi. Simple, Intelligent and Caring! Members of Excel Leadership Academy made the conference one I remain proud of and for sure, we shared about you.
Trust heaven is all we are told and more! Seep on dearest sister. Teara is welling up now but I try hard not to cry tears of pain butbof a glorious gain - Heaven gained an ANGEL. I still see your smile and hear your sonorous voice in my mind’s eye. I LOVE YOU. YOU FOUGHT. YOU WON. I tell all who care to listen what you told me - GOD HEALED ME! I have never forgotten dear.
Continue to REST IN POWER GREAT WOMAN OF WORSHIP AND WONDER!

You're always fondly remembered.
I was still telling someone about you, few weeks back.
Thank GOD, you knew JESUS and you're resting at HIS Bosom.
Now I smile.. I remember our "Golden Morn" Joke.
Hmm..
GOD bless and keep your family.
I asked myself - what would you have told me to do at a time like this? And really, I'm sure you would have told me to "relax that all is well".
You always had the right words..
Fond and Great memories of you, my very dear friend.
U are forever missed darling....
Sleep well & sleep tight.
Keep lightining heaven with yr infectious smile.
Earthly loss is heavenly gain...
You will remain forever in my mind.
Adieu my love....
I recall your effortless laughter and your heart of gold...undiluted!!!
May God console us all but most especially your dearest family...may your memories remain ever green in all our hearts.
Sleep on FikkyFam!!!
Till we meet at Jesus' feet
What a privilege and honour knowing you!
You always had the right word for the right time.
And with such great sense of humour, I remember having to kneel at your wedding as my punishment for coming late (fond memories)..
I'm sure you've gone to GOD. Good bye for now till Jesus returns..
Adieu Fikayo.
The memories we had while I was a kid will never fed...
Rest on ever beautiful...

Death remains a mystery. But rather than wallow in grief and wonder when we will meet to part no more, I celebrate the woman you lived to be.

The gap & vacuum you left is still not bridged.
Your thoughts are forever fresh in my memories
Your beautiful character connected you to this year INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY Celebration. You were one of a kind!!!!
Posthumously we celebrate your 42nd Birthday.
Earthly loss is heavengain
Keep celebrating in His presence
Fikky, I love you beyond what words can describe.....
Adieu beautiful Angel!!!!
BEAUTIFUL YOU!
For many of us, she was our first encounter with the name Fikayo. Olufikayo Famuyiwa, fondly called Fikky Fam, was more than a classmate, she was a friend. We all remember her in our junior days as one of the strongest girls of our set especially being able to survive a classroom occupied by 96% boys. Olufikayo was an active member of the chapel and school choirs, where she shared her talent in so many ways from acting, to dancing, to singing, and she still holds the only record of being able to spin around while balancing two breakable plates in both hands. She was well rounded in academics and extra curricular activities.
Fikky Funky Fam as she liked to call herself, a pet name given to her by her dad, could light up a room with her smile. She was a member of and was eventually named Miss Cross House. A member of class SS 1-3 Yellow and also one of the Prep Prefects of our set, which earned her the name "Omo Balo". She was loved not by her classmates alone, but by her seniors, juniors, even teachers. We all have our own personal and special memories of the mark she left in our hearts and lives, as a friend, school daughter, school mother, roommate, bunk mate, school sister, classmate and beyond.
Although most of us have not been in direct contact with her for several years, that does not in any way make it easier for us to bear the hurt and painful feelings of losing a member of our Fego Class of 94 family. She is loved and will be missed, but the memories we all share will be treasured by all of us she left behind.
Olufikayo Atinuke omo Famuyiwa aya Keazor, may your gentle and loving soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.
