Mum, you were a woman like no other. You gave me life, nurtured me, taught me, dressed me, fought for me, held me, shouted at me, kissed and hugged me, and most importantly was always there for my family. There are not enough words I can say to describe just how important you were to me. I wish I could see you one more time, walking through the door but I know that is impossible. I know you can feel my tears and you don’t want me to cry but yet my heart is broken because I can’t understand why someone so precious had to die, but I believe God loves you more. I pray that God will give me strength and somehow get me through as I struggle with the headache that came when I lost you.
MUMMY YOU WERE MY MOTHER, MY PRAYER WARRIOR, FRIEND, MY LAUGHTER, MY JOY, MY HAPPINESS, MY GIST PARTNER LATE AT NIGHT, AND MY CONFIDANT. I WILL FOREVER MISS YOU DEARLY AND YOU REMAIN FOREVER IN MY HEART UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. LOVE YOU ALWAYS MUM AND CONTINUE TO SLEEP PEACEFULLY.

Thank you mummy for making me feel like your own son the first time you saw me in your home. How can I ever forget the anointing oil you pour on my head after prayer whenever Femi and I are traveling back to school in Jos . Your prayers and advise kept us upright till graduation. I will always love you. Adieu mama and rest in the bosom of the lord forever.

Death is purely the loss of the physical,The Sun sets,The Moon sets, but they are not gone forever.
Mummy Satellite - as we fondly called her, was a strong, tenacious adorable and beautiful Woman......To Think She's gone with her warm smiles, is quite devastating.
A loving and caring Mother, worthy of emulation....You were a Mother in a Million.
You left a void in the family, amongst in-laws and friends that can never be filled.
We pray as you journey ahead, your Service to your creator and good deeds to humans will speak for you on the judgement day.
Good night Ma - aka 'Mummy Satellite'

Grandma, thank you for being one of the best moms in my life and thank you for taking care of the best dad in the whole wide world.

Your Grandson, Kitan.
You ran the race God set before you.
Now that you have gone the way of all men
We are sad that you are no more here
But we will always celebrate your memory.
You were a mother to us all.
Till we meet again in the Lord’s bosom.

You were my mom, you were full of life, grace and poise. They say a mother gives you life and a mother in law gives you her life and what a life it was. You have shown me much kindness for every second I’ve known you. I remember my medical school days when I visited your office often for one reason or the other, you never made me feel like a bother though you knew why I was there. Such was the kindness you shared. Mom you have led and supported us all to the point at which we are fearless and can stand on our own. Your job here is done but I am sad because I can no longer hear your voice but the wisdom you’ve shared persists and the lessons of life you taught abide with us. Now that you’ve gone to rest may you have eternal peace and sleep,in the bosom of the lord.

Thank you Mummy for the love and kindness you have shown me throughout my life. I will always smile when I think of you as I have nothing but fond memories of the times we have spent together. You were there for some of the most momentous times in my life and always met me with With warmth inclusion and acceptance. May God shine his light upon your beautiful soul.

Mummy You meant So Much To Me! Thank You For Everything You Did For Me! You Accepted Me Like Your Own Son And Never Treated Me Any Different From Your Own Children! I Am Gonna Miss You So Much! But God Knows Best! Sleep In Peace Mummy! God Bless You Always❤️
Mummy, We commit your soul unto the hands of the Almighty God who blessed us with you. You were a beautiful soul, very relateable and peaceful in every way. You will be dearly missed. The times spent with you on holiday in Tallahassee many years back will always be dear to Bode and I. You are indeed a worthy mum. You always had good advise and insight to tap into, being a new mother myself at that time. We hope to emulate the genuine love you left with us. Rest in perfect peace Mummy. Iya rere, E sun re o.
Mummy you were a great mother, wife, grandmother, sister, auntie and friend . You were always praying for everyone, you always remembered what each and everyone of us was doing and always supported us with prayers and encouragement. If we did any little thing for you, months later you would still be thanking us and praying for us over it. You had kind words and smile for everyone. You cared for and touched a lot of people beyond the family. You have left a huge hole that no one can fill. Mom, I really haven’t processed how we will carry on without you but we must because you have sown so much in us to prepare us for this period of our lives. You’ve gone to rest in the hands of the Lord that you served all your life and now you’re joining Dad to watch over us from heaven. I thank God for your life which was well lived.
We love you so much and will miss you dearly .

As a kid back in the days running around the office complex of college of medicine Unilag, I can only remember you as a soft spoken elderly Mama that would never even spank anyone of us. You would never even yell at us. You were so graceful... May your soul rest in perfect peace Ma. I’m sure you have been received by the angels.

Seemed like yesterday when I attended her 80th Birthday in the U.K. To underline Mummy’s importance I had to drive 5 hours down from the NorthWest to attend her birthday down south.She was always very welcoming and thoughtful and this is evident in her children.May the good Lord continue to comfort the family and grant Mummy Akinjiyan eternal rest..

Your death came to me as a great shock because it wasn’t long that you spoke with my wife. You were our mother in Lagos and each conversation with you ends with prayers and I am going to miss that. I am particularly happy that you lived a good life and you have gone to be with the Lord. May your soul Rest In Peace. Amen
Our Mama, your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words, and missed beyond measure,. In our hearts a memory is kept. RIP by The SANUSI'S
Those we held close to our hearts never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they have shared and the love they brought into our lives.
