Adebisi, my ore otito,
I wish I could change times and events on the Saturday I received a phone call that my best friend of 49years turned Sister, is now in her mansion in Heaven, with her Creator, her First love, her Confidant and her all in all on that Saturday and I had no incline before that you were going back home sooner than I had ever imagined.
When I was told to write a tribute about Adebisi my loyal friend, I said to myself, but how can I write just a page about someone whom I have known for almost all my life and where exactly do I start from?
After much pondering, I asked the HolySpirit for guidance as to how to write a heart warming and sincere tribute about a beautiful, remarkable and sincere friend who called me Egbon (though we began as friends) until Thursday 29 October 2020 in Lekki, unknown to me that it was our last time together until we meet again and part no more.
My Bestie was exceptionally brilliant, highly resourceful, reliable, honest, cool headed, prayer warrior, she had no guile in her, just as it is said in John 1:47. Adebisi was dogged in her service to Jesus and the body of Christ to the end. She was so trustworthy that she became the family accountant and Book keeper.
Millions of Naira could be entrusted in her care for months and years knowing, she will be a good steward of your deposits and will always give you detailed accounts of all your withdrawals. She never took what was not hers but rather, she adds to you.
Thank you for the whole week you dedicated to me in Nigeria during Dola’s demise and celebration of life. You were Proverbs 27:17
to me. Who can find anyone like you again?
May God please comfort your honourable husband Pastor Femi, Sis Bukola, Sis Nike, Dayo, Enioluwaferan, Ronke, Enitan, their husbands, Sons, Daughters and her beautiful aged Mother. Your God daughter Jedidyah said thank you for the last gift you gave her for her 10th birthday.
I will surely miss you Adebisi, my irreplaceable besto & Aburo. I shall take solace in the fact that, where you have gone, we too shall all come there after our work on earth is done. You are now in that Heaven your life preached till the end.
Loved you in life & in death my Friend and Sister Adebisi♥️
