Always remembered, loved and honored by us and ours. Mentioned always. You were one of the best—righteously fearless, sincere, genuine, committed and consistent. You ran your race well. You fought a good fight. You, no doubt, attained the Crown. Halleluyah!!
Now at peace, resting with the Lord. Amen, so let it be !! Mmo, Big Aunty, you will be forever missed by us all.  ——-  Egesi and Ude. ——- 

Mom was a superstar!

Today is 11 years of Mom's home going. We remember her fondly. She was very gentle. She handled life and emotions well. She forgave easily. She was humble. As I get older, I have come to appreciate that it takes obedience to God, discipline and self control to be that way. It doesn't just happen on its own. It is submission to the workings and grace of God. May God bless her memory. We do not doubt that she is with the Lord. God is good!

Ten years ago to the day, on Monday, the 17th of August 2009, my Mother was brought to our home in Yaba. She could not walk. Her first words, were “If only I had come earlier.” She had suffered a stroke. The Friday before, she had gone for her monthly medical check-up at a specialist hospital. She had complained of a head-ache, and they decided to treat for malaria. They did not detect the ruptured aneurysm in her brain, which turned out to be fatal. We took her into the downstairs visitors room, where she lay down. She couldn’t move one side of her body. This incredible woman remained cheerful as she sang songs of praise to God in her beautiful high-pitched voice even in this condition as she forced one hand to manipulate the paralysed one, up and down, willing life to return to the paralysed half of her body. We watched her as she sang merrily, while we made efforts to evacuate her to the hospital. About six years before, she had gone to South Africa for knee-transplant surgery. The surgery on both knees had been successful but on the night of the surgery, she had suffered a stroke, which like the current one, left one half of her body paralysed. When the medical personnel were comforting her and making strenuous efforts to treat her, she had cheerfully told them that they should not worry, that by morning, Jesus would have healed her. This is exactly what happened, to the amazement of all. By the morning, there was absolutely no trace of the stroke or paralysis. Funmi, my sister in law along with her son, Jemie accompanied her to South Africa. They can bear witness to this miracle. So, this time again, we believed she along with her tested and trusted Jesus would defeat the stroke. My in-law, who is a medical doctor came along and examined her. He confirmed the stroke and an ambulance was sent for. She could overhear us speaking, and must have heard his response on her chances of full recovery. She may also have heard him say that another stroke could be fatal. My Mother was tired. She had six months before turned 80. She had fought so many battles especially over her husband, my Father and we, the children. The last being the multiple organ failure my Father suffered the month before. She had stood and willed him back to life. I have never seen anyone pray the way she did for him. I have never before seen such faith. She willed him back to life. She was indeed exhausted. She had spent her life fighting for us.....in the spirit and in the physical. She smiled again as I hurried away to confer with my friend and brother, Dr. Ebun Bamgboye, Medical Director of Saint Nicholas Hospital. In my short absence, she shut her eyes in the arms of my wife, Alero and my sister, Chima and allowed a second stroke, which killed her....She was smiling. She was done. She had run the good race. Like Paul, what lay ahead was a crown of honour. We remember her today fondly. She was a Christian soldier. A General in the Lord’s army. The song “Onward Christian Soldier” has never been so real and apt.

Your memory is evergreen in our hearts. We will do all we promised in Jesus’ name. To God be all the glory !

Thank you Lord for every remembrance of my Mother always feels me with so much pride and joy! Please help me to be the best me, to all who come my way especially my family and loved ones.

Today would have been Mommy's 85th birthday. We remember her with love and admiration. To God be the glory!

Four years has gone by so quickly. Miss you so so much. God knows.

I have never known you untill i met your duaghter, who is my director. At your age, you were still an ANGEL to behold. Though i knew you for a short time before you answered the HOLY call, whoever know your daughther and her siblings can testify that they were nurtured and brought up by a great mother. Farewell, great mother.

Wow! Time does indeed fly. 3 years already!!!!. God has indeed been awesome these last 3 years. You went home, then dad joined you, but God sent us comfort and we can laugh and sing again. It is well with your seed. Agape, Oriaku

It's been 3 years. We still miss our Mom today. We remember Mommy for her patience, humility, hardwork, diligence, excellence of spirit, steadfast love and devotion to God and her entire family. May the same be said of us. Amen!

Dear dear Mums. Gone to rest. You did your best, your very best. We are all well. Your prayers and belief in Jesus have been justified in the legacy you left behind. We shall not let you down. I will not let you down. You ran a great race and now that the baton has been passed, we all shall continue to the best of our ability knowing that you would be glad that we did.

Dear All.
Today would have been Moms 83rd birthday. We will continue to celebrate her. Thinking of mom, always brings a smile to my face. Every memory of her is pleasant. She was a good mother. May our children also be able to say same of us. Oriaku

My every remembrance of Momsie is joyful. Now I appreciate that song Sweet Mother, I no go forget you....From the scriptures, I have a clear understanding that Mom has run her race and gone ahead into the next phase of Eternity. For those of us here, while we still have the luxury of time, may we all really and truly discover the purpose for which we are on earth and run our race well too!

I really started to see Mom as such a precious jewel when she spent a month with me after the very traumatic delivery of our daughter- Lemaeke Faith. Her calmness, capacity to love, organisational ability and spiritual depth are virtues I covet. 2 years already? I miss my Mom.

It's been 2 years but I still miss my Mom. I guess somehow I always will.
The memory of the just is blessed! Prov. 10:7

It's been more than one year and God has been faithful to heal and to see us through. Our God is faithful!

I miss my mom so much! I miss your quiet wisdom and strength that always gave perspective to every situation. The gentle way you kept everyone united.

I miss you.

Ugonma, May the love of Christ be with you and your family during this period.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away"
--R21:4

Please accept my condolence. Mama did not live in vain. Her children are an eloquent testimony that she passed through this world with excellence
