Happy Posthumous Birthday! I celebrate you today and every other day because you have been the sweetest part of our life and the memories of you shall forever dwell in our minds. In my heart, you shall forever remain despite the fact that you are not with us any longer.
My darling Lorenzo,
It would have been your 48th birthday today, but our Lord knows best, Lamide and the girls are keeping well, may you continue to rest in the bosom of our lord Jesus Christ, you are greatly missed my lovely coz, you are forever in our heart and will never be forgotten. 4 years on and tears still rolling down my eyes as I write this, Hmmm time they say heal all wounds but I am still hurting , Sun re ooo my lovely Don Lorenzo

Hamed, May your gentle soul continue to rest in the Lord's bosom. Greatly missed, words cannot articulate the void you left behind.
Still praying for the family Ahmed left behind. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abide with his wife and children.
Gone but not forgotten.
Gone but not forgotten.
4years to the day Ahmed departed and I have to get used to talking about you in the past but your memories live on. Shikemi and Shindara need to know their father had a kind heart, was generous, was caring and loyal. They need to know that their father lived a life worth living. They should never have to feel the void of a father in their lives because I'm certain they both share your attributes.
I will keep the plates of your memory spinning Ahmed, for the sake of your daughters, Shikemi and Shindara if nothing at all.
I may have come to write this tribute today and perhaps once or twice a year, not a day goes past that you are not remembered. In death you taught me how to live. May we all continue to see God in our response to your passing and not in your passing.
Continue to rest in the Bossom of the most high.
Adieu Lorenzo

Oh my! It's three years already! My constant prayer is for Ahmed's family- that the Lord will take care of the wife and children he left behind. It is a bereavement only God understands why it happened. I pray the family will know no lack or want and Ahmed's memory will always be sweet to them.
After you have left,uncle Ahmed The sadness is drowning me in my own tears inside. I miss you uncle Lorenzo, I was thinking about you today,
It's not just like any other day, uncle, I miss you a lot, i will love to see u again wen we gets to paradise. Because Whenever I miss you in life,
I just look at the star,
Whenever I miss you,
I feel the pain,
This time won't come again,
But, I really miss you a lot,
You are in my every thought!

Dear Brother Ahmed
Continue to rest in peace, I can't believe it's a year since you left as it feels just like yesterday. May God almighty continue to strengthen your family. Ha, we can only say it is well...

Lorenzo, it is exactly one year that you moved on to glory, the call I got from bro Femi is still very fresh and the word keeps playing in my head over and over, the words I was dreading to hear anytime I see a UK number calling me, but alas on the 16th May 2016 I got that call, "Sorry Bimbo! We lost Ahmed" Those words still hurt till date, how could this happen to someone so dear, a rear gem, kind hearted, a selfless gentleman to the core; why did this happen to our family, those were the unanswered word I had then and still have up till now. People told me I will have closure but I still do not have closure, my heart is still in pain, I always have this sharp pain and bitter taste in my mouth anytime I think of you, but in the midst of all these feelings, I cannot question God, he has the ultimate say. To God alone be all the glory for evermore. Lamide and the twins are keeping well, Sleep on my darling brother.

Hmmmmmm! my darling Lorenzo, today is the first of January 2017, went on my whats app and the last time we chatted was 11 April 2016. A sharp pain when through my heart at the continuous reality that we can't gist as we usually do especially on a day like this that we usually catch up on all the gist we have missed from the last time we spoke. I remember talking with you this time last year when I was in China on holiday. Hmmmmm! Oye Olorun o! I miss you dearly, words cannot explain how I feel from time to time at the taught that you have gone to be with our maker. I know you are in a better place but it is still a very painful pill to swallow that you are not with us. Your darling wife and lovely children are keeping well, your Olori Afo is trying to hang in there.

Happy birthday bro, been dreading today since forever, the sense of loss is so acute. Am sure you celebrating ... hmmmm if that's how it works over there.
Bro you are missed terribly by Lamide and the girls and it tears my heart out... the family missing you as well but can't be compared to Your immediate family. I still keep wanting to pick up the phone to gist with you, catch up and update you etc and then the constant realization that I can't hits me like a bad blow.
Will this pain ever go away?
Will we ever stop missing you?
Will we heal from your loss, ?
These are things that constantly go through my mind, I stare at your pictures over and over and shake my head In complete disbelief. Oh lord, help us and strengthen us. Amen
I woke up this morning to email alert from birthday alarm (as if I need a reminder), and to a text from your bank in Nigeria wishing you a happy birthday, and then re-reading Lamides birthday message on her bbm dp, and the tears just flows....

It really hurt that you are not here today but we celebrate you today; you are not forgotten.

I woke up this morning and sensed within me that there is something special about today. I have now realised it- Ahmed's birthday. You are no longer here to celebrate it but we celebrate on your behalf, knowing you are in a better place.
My heart goes to your wife and children and I pray God in His infinite mercy and sufficiency will help them remember this day for good and meet them at their every point of need. He is a father to the fatherless and a husband to the widow. He will make good His promise to you and your children Olamide.

My darling Lorenzo! I woke up this morning knowing that it is meant to be your 44th birthday, But Alas! I can't call you to wish you happy birthday as I usually do. I am confronted with the reality that I have been finding difficult to come to terms with that you are in the presence of your maker. Hmmmmmmmm! Only God understands why this happened to us as a family. It is just too difficult to move on and come to terms with the reality that you are resting in the blossom of our Lord Jesus Christ. I sometimes gaze into thin air and ask myself is it really true that you are no more, I check my whatsapp messages and for real our last conversation was in April, Hmmmm! Oye Olorun. Your lovely wife and wonderful children miss you immensely and we your entire family miss you as well. Words are not enough to qualify the grief we went through and we are still going through. We are being comforted knowing that All will be well in Jesus name. Sleep on my darling coz
I just found out about Ahmed passing on and words cannot fully convey the shock, heartache and utter devastation that the news brought me.
Ahmed was a friend and I pray that God in His Mercy will grant him eternal rest in His loving bosom. To his family I'd like to pray for God to comfort you in your time of loss and let you know that you can take some little solace in knowing that Ahmed left impact on every life he touched.
I want to keep writing as the memories flood back.....all those times you popped into my mind, I wish I'd known that you were ill.....I will NEVER forget you.

Bro Ahmed, am sure words will fail me,in expressing how i feel about the new of your sudden departure.
You showed me a lot of things within the few months and year i knew you...
I learned a lot I didn't know... to always forgive and be kind to everyone,
But you forgot to teach me one last thing....How to let you go, of someone as precious as YOU!
I know you didn't mean to leave so early, as you still watched my back few months back in cape town, South Africa.
I will miss being your Naija Fashion Designer and a brother... Who You fondly Call me....
Hearing my name being called by your voice and Patronizing My Craft, I wish I got to say "Thanks You For being My Best Client"
Before you were given to the sky,
If God could grant me one last wish I'd ask to say....
"Good Night My Brother... Till We Meet Again.
GOD KNOWS The BEST AND...."HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST"
AMAO, AdeKunle Daniels -

Bro Ahmed,
I sincerely wish I didn't have to do this. You left too early but who are we to question God. I remember meeting you back in 1996 when we first moved to England You were Yetunde''s voltron then and always fiercely protected her. Didn't like you then(lol), but early on into the years I came to respect you and understand that it was all from a position of love.
I thank God for your life, I thank God you gave your life to Christ, I thank God for your beautiful wife Lamide and the twins, I thank God for Yetunde, Baba and Habib and all the family and loved ones you left behind. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace

Rude shock still it is Ahmed from the fateful day I heard of your demise till now. It will surely take a while to come to terms with your demise as it seems you have embarked on a journey whilst a sudden arrival of you is expected. Indeed you have gone on a journey earlier than reckoed to a beautiful paradise where we shall all visit someday at an appointed time. Memories of your pleasant, fun personality lingers and I pray the God of comfort to uphold , sustain and comfort the young family you left behind and your siblings in Jesus powerful name. I will miss your teasing me by calling me names such as 'Alhaja' at reunions and looking out for me to make sure I got a ride home safely. Adieu dear friend & brother till resurrection day!
Though I never met you, the outpouring of emotions here is a testament of what a great father, husband and brother you were. Rest in perfect peace Mr Ahmed. To the family he left behind, I say take heart and God will surely protect you all and give each and everyone of you the fortitude and strength to bear this irreplaceable loss.
Adieu Ahmed.
Adieu Ahmed.
Bro Ahmed...May your incredibly selfless and loving soul rest in perfect peace. I am still shocked but after all said and done we know that God gives and takes away, I can only submit that your soul was far too beautiful for this wicked world, now you live amongst angels where you truly belong. We will miss you very much and we love you.
Sleep on beautiful soul...your memory lingers on.

Death be not proud, for those thou thinks't thou dost overthrow, die not. Bro Ahmed you will forever remain in our hearts; I was so confused,angry and sad when I heard the news. How could death be so rude and unfair to just snatch you away from us; we take solace at the thoughts that you are in a better place.
Just about a year ago I visited you and your family in the U.K and you were such a cool, calm and extremely caring person, I did not know that would be our last moment together; I am only left with those memories as I keep replaying it in my head over and over again.
You left way too soon but Bro Ahmed you are awake eternally in the bossom of the almighty God.

South Harrow 2006
It is really difficult to accept that I'm actually sharing a story in memory of Ahmed. It is still like a dream. I know it must be more difficult for his family. My family was waiting to get immigration visa to Canada in 2006 and we stayed months with Ahmed and Gbemi at South Harrow. Ahmed vacated his room and slept in the living room all those months. Not once did he make us feel that we were not welcomed. He is so kind, gentle , respectful , humble and considerate . He will think of others before himself. Ahmed you were truly a selfless person, very giving and full of empathy for others. Continue to rest in the bossom of the Lord until we meet to part no more.
