My Fine Girl
Hmnnnn with tears and thanks,....
It took me days to edit this in tears and I am sure it would take a life time to say all that I want to.
Thank you for all you do. My first friend, my Angel I would forever miss you forever.
Growing up I wasn’t spoilt as the last born because she knew I might derail and everyone sees her as Margaret Thatcher as she disciplines us all.
Thanks for all you do. My fine girl would treat anyone I call my friend as her own and vibe with them. We all had access to Mama Daco's pot.
Mumsy would make sure she cooks and we eat. Even on her sick bed, she would ask "Dipo se o n jeun?"
I am thankful that you lived a fulfilled life, you have sons that gave you daughters and children that gave you Grandchildren.
My baby my calendar, remembers everyone’s birth dates and would remind us to call whosoever is celebrating.
Can’t forget times I would call and I would be like "Hello, fine girl" and her response would be "ehen ooo fine boy"
Thank you for all you do my Love. With pain in my heart, I just wished you could stay a little longer.
Thankful that I was able to thank you a lot before you slept.
Thankful that I gave birth to a lookalike....Modesire would miss having you around Grandma.
Thank you for being my best friend.
I love you mum and would miss you.
I would miss the advice.
The love, the calls,
The jokes, the strokes
The food, the tips
The care
Your Voice
Every moment.
I can’t write it all in weeks because your memories are enough to last me for a life time. Thank you for all you do Ajoke mi.
I won’t say you are gone because......
Mum, Thank You for all you do
Arionola mi Sun Re oooo.

Mummy, you have been a blessing to us in immense ways. You impact and legacy has gone ahead of you and trails your departure with so much allure.

Your children have been a blessing to me and that makes me all the more grateful for the gift of you.

Meeting you for the first time, I could not but pause and ponder, "What a beautiful woman!"

Rest in the bosom of His Majesty

My heart is full of memories.  With pride l speak about you. 
Your life was a blessing.  Your memory was a treasure. 
You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. 
It is hard to forget someone like you who was kind and caring. 
Though life goes on without you, it will never be the same. 
Days will pass and turn to months, but you will never be forgotten. 
You may be gone from our sight but never gone from our hearts. 
Always loved. Never forgotten.  Forever missed.

TRIBUTE TO MRS ANGELA ARINOLA DA-COSTA.

That chilly morning in the early Harmattan of January, all of us were lined up at the Assembly at Ebenezer Grammar School, Abeokuta.
Fate brought Segun and Angela together in that childhood relationship of boy and girl friend, the Senior and the Junior, but God had His plans. Year into Year, the friendship grew and blossomed. God moved them into the next stage - they got married and became husband and wife. God was still at work because both of them were works in progress.
A beautiful and happy family was raised and they both built a home filled with joy and happiness.
On Saturday May 29, 2021, God decided to put a full stop to the works of one of the two legs of the Union. It was time for Arinola to take a final bow for her everlasting rest. All machinations of the devil, she resolved with God to terminate and thereafter embarked on the very lasting journey into eternity.
Segun, you are still a work in progress in the hands of God. The heavenly imposed assignment must be concluded.
Angela has transitted to the great beyond till we meet to part no more. We, your mates at Ebenezer Grammar School, Abeokuta say, continue to shine the light and strive for the highest.
Arinola, our Darling, Pretty, Petite girl of yesteryears, our Pretty, Beautiful Wife and Mother, our very reliable and highly supportive Colleague, continue to rest in the bosom of our LORD. Adieu.

Till we meet on the last day, Good night Dear Mum.

It is with great shock and utter disbelief that we the childhood friends of Arinola Dacosta received the news of her death. She was a friend of ours since we started Sunbeam together at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Lagos. We all graduated to Girls Auxiliary (G. A), then to Lydia group. These are the stages of children/youth Christian training we received together at the Baptist Church. This friendship blossom till we all got married and our husbands became friends. We raised our children together visiting and counselling each other on issues of life. Arin was a lively and jovial person. Very hard working and a good homemaker. Although we are far from each other but we still communicate till she got sick. We will always cherish the time we spent together. We love you but God loves you more. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.

From Your Dear Friends: Taiwo Lagoke ( nee Adelakun) Kehinde Adekola (nee Adelakun) Iyabo Ayodele (nee Faleti) Funmi Olugbade (nee Folawiyo) Bimpe Odusanya ( nee Adeniyi) & Funmi Adeniran (nee Apata)

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered, “come to me”.
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you passed away
Although we love you dearly
We could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Hardworking hand at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
That he only takes the best
Thank you for being the best mother to everyone around you. Your legacy will continue to live on.

The bus stop reached and Arinola Oyewo Dacosta disembarked to be with the Lord.

A decent lady she was, fully immersed herself in church activities growing up.

From Ebenezer Baptist Church as a chorister, her love for church music led her to join Christ Ambassadors Singers of First Baptist Church Lagos well before Segun, the schoolmate of Egbon Debo took her, as a wife away from the Baptist circle.

She still remained a Christian till her death.
Gone to live our childhood memories.

Eternal rest grant her O Lord, Amen....

I’m honestly short of words because she is my mum. I knew her before I knew left or right. She was always warm and gracious to all the kids that came over. Her home was always my best sleepover place. Always made feel as a son with prayers and advises. I would miss you so much mom and I know you are in a better place. Thank you for all you taught and groomed us to be. Mama for the boys. We love you mom

A mother with a large heart and a healing smile was all she gave out that healed a lot of wounds.
Mama Daco will not take rubbish from no one and Al she had was an unconditional love that spanned through all around her.
She was able to bond myself and her first fruit Ladele not just as friends but brother's Kos she will always ask me whenever she saw me after Ladele moving over to ibadan "so ti ba Ladele soro"and I will respond we spoke yesterday or Days ago.
You needed to come close to her to realise she had a heart of Gold,who would give me that look when I step late into church.
So I have decided to be an early church goer.
sleep tight Mama Ladele,Bolly and Dipopo

Mama Daco, you were a loving woman who raised three wonderful boys. I'm friends with your last born, growing up I knew you to be a God-fearing mum who showed care and always welcomed me to your home whenever I come around to visit your son. We all miss you Ma but we know you are in a better place now with your maker. Sun re o Mrs. Dacosta.

Sister Arinola (A A) It is still a shock to
us that you are gone but we take solace in God that you are in the bossom of our Lord. You were the calmest and most quiet person I ever met, always smiling. Your smiling was very infectious, even when one is unhappy your smile always make a difference. I know you to be my sister's friend (Sister Sumbo Oni) as she was always saying good things about you and how nice you were.
Each time I visited Jehovah Shalom, I could see your dedication and love for God in His vineyard, sad to hear that you have gone so soon. However none of us can query God.
Words cannot describe how wonderful you were but your sweet memories lives with us forever.
Continue to rest in peace Sister Arinola Angela Da- Costa till we meet to part no more. Keep on smiling.

Aunty Arin was a loving forthright person. I met her when she married into my parents church, I was not married then and even though I was younger she reached out and was very friendly.
What endeared her to me was the obvious love she had for her husband she made her accept everything about and around him.
May her beautiful soul Rest In Peace, Amen

Arinola & I met in 1976, we were colleagues at Post & Telecommunication now Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST). She was a homely person & we shared same values which made us become friends easily. We attended Young Women Christian Association (YWCA) Catering School together which gave me the opportunity to bake her wedding cake; Arinola does not joke with her family, which was one of the same things we shared.
She was a mother indeed, she showed love to everyone, everywhere.
You will forever be remembered.
Sleep on dear friend.
Good Night.
