Fola, it's been a rough time, but I'm getting there. Now, all I feel is gratitude—for the time we got, for the gift that was you. Thank you, and thank God. You will always have a special beat in my heart, a special place in my mind, and a special moment in my memories.


Much love,

Mojisola 

Happy birthday Labi
God knows best.
Barrister Nkiru

Still struggling with the why. Not sure I'll ever understand. Anyway, happy birthday Yayabs. You are always in my thoughts. Lots of love always.

I have been trying to reach Folabi for a while, and only just decided to do a google search. This is so heartbreaking... May your absolute gentle soul rest in perfect peace

My dear friend Afolabi,
I trust you are in the company of the Lord with your beloved Mumsy and Papa.
I remember our time together in 3 Temple Gardens Chambers when we used to gist together; the only 2 Afro-style Barristers in the Chambers. One day, I took you along to introduce you to a Solicitor friend of mine in North London for networking and behold, upon you mentioning your surname, you two found out that you are cousins, meeting for the first time in London. What a small world. Rest on dear Afolabi.
Blessings 
Barrister Nkiru 

Afolabi, my friend. I continue to remember you, who departed onto glory on my birthday today 3 years ago. Sleep well my dear friend. Sun Re O. Amin. God continue to grant you His eternal rest and peace. Amen.

Yayabi, may you continue to rest in peace. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. You are sorely missed. May we all continue to find the strength to bear up to our losses. 

Not a day goes by, Afolabi, my baby brother, that I don’t think of you. Your sudden departure is still astounding. I love you today and always.

Happy birthday Afolabi.
You are gone but you are not forgotten.
We love you but God loves you more.
Rest on my dear Learned Friend.
Barrister Nkiru

Folabi...
it’s been years... and it still aches.
Badly.
I talked about you today. And I realised I’m still angry.
Livid.

It’s a frigging long stretch and I’m trying to do everything we said we’d do. But as you can guess... it’s just rubbish.

I miss you.
I do. 

Dear Afolabi

May your soul continue to rest in peace, Amen.
I now have come to terms with your passing.
We used to gist into the late hours.
It was strange when you did not answer your phone the last time I called you same time as usual.
We meet to part and part to meet again.
Rest on my fellow Barrister.

Still remembering all our discussions....

Yayabs,

It's been 2 years and 3 days and it is finally beginning to sink in....you have gone to rest with the lord. Rest well my dear. Down on earth you will always be in our thoughts. You are forever missed indeed and will never be forgotten.

Lots of love,

Suma

Afolabi, my dear friend. Why oh why have I not kept in touch these last several years? I spoke to Simi on LinkedIn a few days ago, and she shocked me by mentioning your passing in her reply. Gone too soon my friend!! I remember our deep conversations, our associations with mutual friends & family, and I don't know why nor how you were taken from us. You left us on 14th October - my birthday! Good Lord, please rest Afolabi's soul in Your eternal peace. Amen.

Been a while we talked. Your numbers were not going through. So I decided to do a Google search and this is what I got. I am in shock and at a loss for what to say. I wouldn’t be looking for you if you didn’t impact my life some way. Thanks for being a gentleman, easy to relate with. Rest In Peace my friend.

Damn!!!
Folabi,I just randomly remembered you today and googled you.
Almost smashed my phone when I saw this. We met in London many years ago,and even though life threw us in different directions,we maintained contact for a while-till life again,took over.
I remember you as a complete gentleman. Funny,very kind and very intelligent. Those memories would stay with me forever.
May your gentle soul rest eternally and peacefully.
*ps* I have still refused to attend the law school
Thank you for gracing me with your friendship-though brief-it was good.
Rest my dear friend.
Good bye.

It would have been your birthday today, 52 years old. I cannot believe you are not here for it, and that you were gone at just 50 years old. Why, why, why? I hope you are resting well. We miss you.

Folabi, I cannot believe a year has paased. I am still in shock, still angry and still far from acceptance. My only comfort is nothing can touch you as you rest in peace. 

To live in the hearts of those who love us is not to die. So death has no victory!
Continue to rest in Perfect Peace Afolabi along with all our other beloved ones in God's Love and Mercy.
We miss you all but we shall meet again.
Oyinkan and Aronke

Still struggling to accept you’re gone from this earth…but you’ll always be in our hearts and minds. Love. Always.

I think of and miss you every day. I can’t believe that you are gone or understand how you are gone. It is well with your soul. It is well with our souls.

Yayabi, I cannot believe it has been a year, I miss you so much and I cannot find the words. Rest in eternal peace my dear.

I am very sad to hear of Labi's passing. I just found out. He was so kind and had the best sense of humor. I met him while I was working in London in 2000. My thoughts are with you.
