Dearest Aunty Bimbo

The funniest - you brought laughter and dance competitions to the room. I remember our last conversation you told me how much you loved me and how you always wanted the best for me. I believed you and I wish you could still be here to see the things you desired for me come to fruition.

One thing I am certain of is that heaven gained an angel. Your resilience, your strength and fight of faith will always stay with me. You kept your head up aunty I admire you. You’ve been there through it all and I will miss you sooo much. I know you will be watching over me and I promise to make you proud.

Love you forever and always x

Dear Abi,
Your passing is so painful ☹. You being no more is just unimaginable. I have fond memories of the numerous moments shared with you and Jide back in the day, you guys were just so much fun to be with. I remember your, near permanent, cheerful disposition. In fact, it is difficult for me to picture you frowning or being upset. You were always full of fun! Well, I have no doubt that you are now in a better place. May your loving soul Rest In Peace, Amen.

Eternity, a place we must one day go
it is an errand to which none can say no,
Lord, please grant us all a place by your Son’s throne,
So we ask you show us the sins for which we must atone
the pain of seperation weighs on all our hearts,
Every time a dearly loved soul departs
Still we must accept the Almighty’s will as of Love
Because She now lives with the angels above.

We are not mourning as those who do not have hope but we are certain that our dear Aunty Abi has gone to Glory to be with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. She has fought a good fight She has finished the course, hence there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness. God will comfort Mr Femi and the Children. We will meet at Jesus feet. Rest in peace

A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on. Surely you will never be forgotten,continue to rest in peace MA

WHO CAN QUESTION GOD?

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18-23 King James Version (KJV)

We give God all the glory, honour and adoration for the life of Bimbo and all that He enabled her accomplish during her time. At this time, we are thankful to God for :

45 years of infinite mercy
45 years of divine grace
45 years of God’s faithfulness

We salute you God of heaven and earth for the impactful life Bimbo lived and how you kept her glowing and beaming with smiles till the very end. You strengthened her with might in her inner man and made her a source of inspiration to others.
Her virtue and courage are visible from the pictures and testimonies of families and friends.
Bimbo, you have displayed what it means to fight a good fight of faith and also showed us that God is able to uphold His children to the very end.
Precious in God’s sight is the death of His saints and we take solace in the fact that there shall be a resurrection morning when God and all His saints shall live to part no more.
Blessed is the memory of the righteous.
Bimbo, Omo Sister mi, SUN RE O!!!!

Abi darling,
Wow!!! I am so broken but the memories make me smile. You are that ride or die kinda chick, you do anything for your family and friends. You always made me laugh when we were together and even when we spoke on the phone. Your energy is contagious, your resilience inspiring and your smile lit up any room. I miss you girl and I love you dearly. Our chats were always meaningful, inspiring, happy and fun. I have no doubt fought hard till the end and now you are resting in our fathers arms.

Till I see you again, rest well my dear friend.

BIMBO
Your death sadden my heart , despite all odds of suffering and pain you still smiled. Bimbo was strong ,confident, courageous, always positive and a fighter still the end . You are in a better place on the right side of God. We will meet again at Jesus feet.
May your perfect soul Rest in peace. RIP

We often say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, when we say this we imagine this hour would be in a distant future and we never thought we would be thinking about you as a memory.
Yes, it came a little soon, it came as a shock and still feels a bit unreal.
You will always be remembered for the different things you are to one and all. Continue to rest in the bossom of the Lord
Jesus Christ who died and now lives on, where all tears are wiped away.

Sis Bimbo i wish i could stop the tears but i know u are in a better place free of pains. You were u the strongest woman i ever met,i love u loads as u will always say to me. My family would miss u cause u always came thru for us.....i dont think i can ever get over this bt i hope one day we will meet to part no more....but till then sis know my love for you is irreplaceable .....love u Aby

Abimbola, writing this message is so painful. having to use was instead of is, is very difficult.  However, we thank God for your life, for the lives of the people you touched during your journey through planet earth. We know that you are in a better place resting in the bosom of the almighty, singing with the angels. We will miss your cheekiness, your words of wisdom and all the things we did as a family together.

Let this be known that you were loved, you will be missed as you have left a gap, but trust me Sis you will never be forgotten. Sun re o my beautiful sister.

Dear Late Bimbo, and my dear family..

Gone too soon. Looking at the beautiful pictures and remembering how I knew Bimbo, even before she married into the family; amazing.

Our going out days if I may say.. beautiful, as my mum would say é lò sé drink up nì yén...

Your life has been beautiful, and those are the days I chose to remember. God sees and He knows and am sure He will comfort all of us as we go through this process in our lives.

The beautiful boy's you brought to this world; May the Lord continue to watch over them and your dear Jide, may the Lord comfort him always. 

Your resting now; you job on earth is completed, you were a fun person to know, you always had a smile on your face, even till the very last moment when I saw you at a family wedding; amazing only God can give someone that comfort. Amen.

Rest in peace friend.

Abi
I recall a meeting with Jide in Lagos and I asked after you and the children. He said he couldn't wait to be back with you in England. He couldn't really bare to be away from you guys.
He talked with much excitement and delight in his voice that one could not but notice the contentment, joy, and lovely fulfilment that going back home meant to him.
Such was the beauty you radiated to your husband, children,, family, friends. You were charming, kind, caring, witty as company, and mindful of everyone who meant something to you.
What a loss and you will be missed. We remain comforted that you are with the angels and finally in the arms our saviour.
Rest eternally in peace. You indeed ran a good race and received your crown of glory.

Jido
Although I did not have the privilege to meet your wife but through you, she struck me as a woman of substance and strength. It was therefore with deep shock and sorrow that I received the news of her passing away. All the time I've interacted with you, I've been most impressed by the genuine warmth and care she radiated through you and the boys to everyone that come in contact with you. We have lost a truly great woman I share your sorrow and pain. I'll always be there for you whenever you need me. My sincere love goes to you and the boys and I'll continue to pray for you all. Stay strong brother. May her lovely soul rest in peace. Amen.
Tomi.

Abi,
We never met but we interacted time and again through your darling husband Jide. You fought a victorious battle and checked out on your terms to join the hosts of heaven in destroying the last enemy, death. We can take solace and comfort in the fact that you are at rest and at peace, but most importantly you are now completely with the church of the first born whose names are written in heaven and in the company of just men made perfect. See you in the morning.

Aunty Bimbo,
You can no longer be seen, by the human eye,
But your soul and love that you gave so many, will never ever die
Sometimes, I wish words, cries, prayers, and every other things your loved ones had done could bring you back to stay.
I guess this is the way life goes, and God's will we must accept
But I hope you didn't feel this pain or weep the way I've wept.
Keep resting in the bosom of the Lord that has called you this early out from the trials, pains and Tribulations of this World.

It is painful to loose a lovable soul, sister and mother, you left us in a state we will never forget ,you gave us a lasting memory that can never be forgotten,we will miss you ma. Thank you for giving to the Lord, Thank you for affecting lives positively, Thank you for the good works, Thank you for the smile you put on always. I love you ma but God love you most. Rest in peace ma. Folashade Dada

Aunty Abi, I didn't see her often but she would always call to check up on me and catch up on what I've doing, even going the extra mile to send me a gift every year for my birthday. The traits of a truly generous and loving soul. Rest Peacefully.

My darling Bimbo. You fondly call me "friendship mi" or "sweetie". That's how fun and loving you were. I'll miss your voice. You were very strong, brave and godly. You mostly hid the excruciating pain you passed through because you didn't want me to panic. You were always high-spirited, full of life, unbelievably selfless, compassionate, kind, encouraging, giving, truthful, thoughtful, real....I could go on and on. You focused more on others, and though you were gravely ill, you rarely expressed just how badly the pains were because you just tried not to worry your loved ones.

I remember how encouraging you were when I lost my nephew and saw you just a couple of weeks later when you visited Nigeria; your love and comfort were unbelievable, considering what you were passing through. When I took ill shortly after, you called, sent messages, prayed for me and lifted my spirit with words of encouragement. You were so strong that I just knew it could only be the spirit of the Lord.

I reflect on all the great times we had together whenever you visited Nigeria. You were always caring and reaching out whenever I was unavailable and just always a darling. Though we spoke often, when we didn't you understood. Yours was a magnanimous heart!

I didn't realise you'd leave let alone so soon. I truly thought God's got this.... Indeed, God's got you; another angel gone from this earth to the Father's mansion. I have no doubt you're in heaven and I know we'd see some day, at the feet of the Lord Jesus. Oh my darling, words cannot express how much I miss you. l cannot believe I'm writing this, I just never thought it'd come to this. You've left a vacuum only God can fill. Adieu beautiful soul! Adieu my friend-turned-sister! Adieu sweetie!

Rest in PEACE, in Jesus Mighty Name.

Aunty bimbo,my mentor,my preacher,words has failed me! But we cannot question God! You fought a good fight,you finished your race and kept the faith! You will greatly be missed.A great Iroko tree that cannot be forgotten.Rest in the bosom of the lord!

Wow! This is painful. Bimbo was so bubbly and respectful. I want us to hold on to those memories. Rest well dear aburo.

Muyiwa Green.

In a short space of time you touched and changed my life. It was an honour to know you. I am so so saddened by your passing - I will hold on to your memory and witness. I honour you.

Dear sister,

I was blessed on the day we met, as i gained a loving, honest, kind, energetic dignified and a God-fearing sister.

The day Yinka brought me to meet you was special as I gained a sister thus. I am constantly thinking it will never to be the same. Every single day I miss our conversations, your advice and your sense of humour. Hearing you say heeey egbon cheered me up. I am very thankful for all the things I learnt from you and for your unconditional love.

I love you and miss you dearly

egbon (as you called me)

OMG!....this came as a surprise to me.....I haven't seen you in years, but we talk over the phone. You have such a loving and caring personality, Toyomo (my daughter) will always receive a package from you through the post on her birthday.....and she will say 'it's from Auntie Abi again'. Rest in eternal peace my dear. We will all miss you.

It is very hard to understand but we take comfort that God is still God and he is bigger than all our problems. We all miss you and your smiling face. May God comfort and strengthen your husband and boys, your sisters and your parents. You will forever be remembered by the lives you touched.

I was telling Nikky this evening that I can't believe that Bimbo is no longer with us, it feels unreal but it is true. I still almost mention your name in prayers, then turn it into prayers for the family. Bimbo you are no longer in pain, now resting, at peace but deeping missed. May the Lord God Almighty strengthen your entire family, husband, children, parents, siblings, cousins, friends, all who you had contact with in one way or another. Rest in peace dear sister, may your soul rest in perfect peace.

Bimbo you have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith. Finally there is now laid up for you the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge will give to you.
You have victory over death and now you are at rest. Till resurrection morning........ ADIEU BEAUTIFUL ONE..........
HEAVEN HAS ACQUIRED A NEW ANGEL

Abi, just about two years ago in Lagos our paths crossed. The moment we were introduced to each other and started talking, I knew then that I found a friend and a sister for life. You were always gracious, pleasant, beautiful, motherly, loving, and very trusting. I miss you! These two years seems like I have known you for eternity, you were such a rare gem. I think about you everyday and pray for you and your beautiful family. I love you Abi, but I know God loves you more. Rest well my dear sister.

Bims as I fondly call you my dear cousin, words fail me. May your beautiful soul rest in peace. Love and miss you .

Bimbo was a dear friend to my kid sister.
Xmas day I was opportuned to speak to her and I promised to go and sis her, I remember our last words. Bimbo not forgotten, I know you ran a good race and fought a good fight your faith unshaken.
I thank God for revelation and confirmation, you now have a Glorious body, a true gem now in the bossom of Abraham.

I only met her once at the Intercontinental hotel with femi and some other place I cant recall. The meetings were always very brief exchange of pleasantries but lasting because she was such a warm pleasant person. The last time I heard her voice was on the speaker phone just before Christmas last year in femi's office. Though I really didnt know her, I will only say that God has all the answers. I wont lie looking at this site and the pictures has made me sad but having a protracted illness as a believer always comforts my thoughts because it is usually a time to prepare properly for eternity. May God have mercy on us all. Live on.

Bimbo, it was a pleasure meeting you years back as far back as 1993 through your sister, Yinka, it was an honor getting to know you and subsequently becoming my inlaw. You were beautiful inside and outside, you were smart and highly intelligent; how much I enjoyed your passion when we argued or discussed issues, your perspectives and convictions were always well thought out and well presented. You were funny, respectful, and above all God fearing; a believer of Christ at whose feet you now reside. Your smiles, your laughters were so bright they usually lit up the room. (I still see and hear them). You were what the Americans will refer to as the life of the party. I can go on and on about your beautiful life; if I write an epistle in your honor, it still will not be enough. You were blessed by a great husband and great children. My family and I thank God for your life, we know you are in a better place, away from the rat race we call the world, away from the sorrows and the pains.

We love you, not loved, but God loves you more, for sure. You were too good for this world which was why He decided to take you to his dwelling in heaven. You will forever be missed.

May the Good LORD comfort the family you left behind, (your husband and children, your mom and dad, your brothers and sisters and your friends), may He give them the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

Rest well in the bosom of your maker my dear sister.

Ayo Dada & Family.

Abi my lovely sis. Your life with us will always be remembered. You were a perfect mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend. You will always be remembered for the different things you were to everyone.
To all of us, you were the woman that loved your family, loved your friends, loved helping others and most of all you loved God.
To your children, you were a good mother. You gave them the very best in life. Every single one of them got the very best from you. Your role in their lives will forever remain exemplary.

Farewell Abi..(Su re o)
RIP
