Tributes
Leave a tributeRest in peace, my heart is heavy but I am consoled because you are in a better place. You taught me what true strength meant. You were a Woman of Faith, so confident, always so positive with a can do attitude. I remember all our numerous conversations fondly, I will miss you dear friend.
God loves you more. Continue to rest in peace.
You deserve to sleep well.
You fought long and you fought hard yet not once did you waiver in your faith and love for God and those around you.
Sleep well precious one.
I did so enjoy the way you used to fuss over and mother me in school.
Indeed heaven has reclaimed an angel
I recall your passion for African folklore. You pressured me to recall more & more stories for you to put together the book you authored on Ijapa the cunning one & you did mention my contribution in the the acknowledgement of book.
My trips to the UK was never complete without seeing you. What will my subsequent trips look like now, oh Adefemi!
Love you, miss you.
Rest on dearly beloved.
We shall meet again.
Anyone coming from England to the East Coast that knows you gives mea call on your behalf! I will forever cherish your phone calls and heart felt prayers, most especially the last on January 19th.
Sweetheart I will forever love and miss you. What gives me peace is that I know you're in heaven. You are now my Guardian Angel!
I recall the chat I sent to you via WhatsApp on the 10th of Feb 2016, asking you how you are, that you have been in my thoughts and prayers for the past 2 weeks. That I hope all is well with you, love you and God bless......your response was "please keep the prayers coming. Thanks Xxx.” And I responded 'It is well with you my friend, the Great Physician will perfect your health and all that concerns you in Jesus Name " I never realized this will be our last conversation on earth as the Lord will take you to His eternal rest on the 17th of Feb 2016.
My darling friend and sister in Christ, you fought a good fight of faith, you have completed your race. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with your mum, siblings and family, pray that the Great Comforter will give them the fortitude to bear your loss.

Words fail me . You came, you saw and you conquered. You fought a good fight of faith and to the glory of God you are resting in a better place. You will be greatly missed...Sleep on beautiful soul
Sis you are now in company of angels and host of Heaven.
The comfort of The Lord be with us your brethren and you families, till we meet to part no more in Heaven.
Adieu.
So young and taken from us so soon, may you rest in peace and thoughts are with your family at this sad time RIP sweet angel x x x x
What a blessing to have met you? What a joy Living Spring contributed to our Christian development and walk?
Looking back, I can only say thank you for all the lives that was touched and destinies that was shaped upon that mountain. xxx
I know it's being ages since we last saw each other. Thank goodness for face book; at least we were able to communicate and I am so glad we did. Sleep well! dear friend. You are in a better place far far away. We will meet again to part no more RIP
Feels so unreal. Can't believe you've gone just like that. Thank you for your prayers and being there for me when I was ill. Thank you for your strength. Saw you last at aunty's Service and I was so sure we would catch up later. Our last conversation keeps going round my head now. Love you but God loves you more. You have inspired me with your strong faith, your cheerfulness and the only consolation is that you are up there with the angels. Sleep well, beautiful soul.

I remember our phone conversations (even when I do not call you will always call),never a negative confession from your mouth,always positively confessing the Word regardless of how you felt - " Jesu l'Oba", Owo Jesu ni mo wa".
Our loss is Heaven's gain but we are comforted by your many words . Not one to miss an opportunity to declare the Word of Truth. We will all miss you and the children too, Timo your "Bobo " cried when he heard the news. Your memory and legacy will forever live on in our hearts.

Dear Adefemi, Happy belated birthday. You would cooked your 'best ever'jollof rice and various stews. Sun re oh
My dear friend, Femi
Femi was a friend of mine
A dear childhood friend of mine
I met at a boarding school called Kent College
Some 35 years ago - that was indeed a privilege!
Back in the Eightees, now all a haze
Those seem to be such carefree days
With homesickness and Prep as our greatest woes
And of course, cross country runs across woods and meadows
Right from the beginning, she stood out
As someone with whom you wouldn't mess about
Principled, responsible, a Christian devout
Plain-spoken yet understanding without a doubt
She was like a big sister, compassionate and caring
And kept us all in check, from misbehaving
She once talked us out of watching an 18 movie
Which for a group of 16 year olds was a big deal to go and see
She tolerated PE and enjoyed Speech & Drama
Got her article published in the school magazine, Saga
And partook willingly in midnight feasts and pillow fights
Her cheeky chuckle could be heard well before she came into sight
With time we all spread out, to the four corners of the globe
Yet Femi maintained the circle of friends, with her as the central spoke
Through her, news of each other we learnt
Of life taking many an unexpected turn
She led by example in showing us how to be
Bold and fearless in the face of adversity
Always cheerful and with such positivity
She endured gracefully and with quiet dignity
Just count your blessings, she once told me
I realised then, that's how she coped so admirably
Selfless, encouraging and never complaining
She soldiered on, her faith unwavering
Despite her health, living life to the fullest
She did so much, she was simply the coolest
An exceptional individual, a wonderful inspiration
Her amazing achievements worthy of commendation
To adorn His crown, as a precious jewel dazzling radiantly
God called her home, from pain and suffering to be set free
Where, rejoicing in His glorious presence for all eternity
We'll meet again, my dear friend Femi.
