Mummy, Mummy, Mummy, we still can’t come to terms that we will not be seeing you again! It seems like yesterday when we last saw you at your grandkids graduation in Florida. You always shower us with prayers and are always smiling every time we see you, just a delight to be around! We will hold on to those memories. Rest in Perfect Peace mummy. You will forever be missed!
Jide & Gani Lawal.

Mummy, a real mother in Israel - in all the 40-odd years that I knew you, you were always kind and gentle and thoughtful and sweet! I am gradually coming to terms with your sudden passing and take comfort you are resting in the Lord's bosom. I take consolation also, and have peace, you are reunited with Daddy, never to part any more. So long and sleep tight, ma, and remain blessed.
Love, from Bisola & Femi

May your Gentle Soul Rest In Perfect Peace. Good night ma. The God of all Comfort will comfort Aunty Laotan and Including My self and Daddy Wemimo the family you left behind. My mum will miss you a lot, you were one of her best and caring sisters in the family. I can’t believe that in another 5 days you are sending you forth away from this Nonsense world to Meet the Lord to Embrace you And Accept you into his Kingdom.

When I called you to Wish you Happy birthday I didn’t know that on the 12th August 2020 was the Last one it’s a loss to us and you prayed for me I remembered the Money you gave me for Offering and5000 Naira you gave me in Ondo I will miss the hugs Voice and Kisses Lol

Dear Mummy
We call you ‘Mummy’ because you were like a mother to us. You were so easy to love because of your kind, loving and caring heart. It is sad that we will never see you again but we receive comfort in knowing that you are a true child of God, a mother in Israel. Our lives were enriched by our relationship with you.We will all miss you. Sun re o, Tobi’s Grandma.
Love from
The Obakins

I remember gisting with you about the love you shared with daddy, and I am sure you have long embraced the love of your life and reliving all those memories.

Thank you for been that bond that held us together and thank you for the gift of your son to me.
We are consoled by the fact that you are now amongst the angels, Flying high above the sky with your love still watching over us.

This does not mean the end, for your memory lives on through us and your grandchildren.

Rest in peace mummy.

"Iya ni wura biye biye, ti a ko le fo wo ra..."

Yes Mama, you were priceless, the truest, dearest, more than a mother to me. You were everything, my friend, brother, sister, uncle, aunt and also dad when dad passed away. You waited 23 years with us after dad passed on, and only God knows the inner strength you had to come through with all of us.

When I remember how you stood by me when I had high fever at around 8 or 9 years old in just my shorts after taking a cold shower without drying up and sat on the bed in LUTH with the full A/C on to cool my temperature down and I was shivering and helpless but you sat there with me encouraging and praying for me, I cannot help but shed a tear.

How about the countless birthday celebrations every year till I left for Bolton. (You always made sure all my friends had a good time and was comfortable around the house. You made our house a second home to all). I was only able to return a favour by celebrating your 60th birthday. You did not want to celebrate it because you just lost the love of your life but I surprised you and did it anyway. It was mixed feelings as you were happy and at the same time you missed your hubby. But your friends, brothers, sisters, cousins and children were all there to console you.

You were a precious gift from God, so much beauty, grace, love and patience you possessed. You touched my heart in so many ways, your strength and smile even on dark days made me realise I have an Angel beside me at all times.

Mum, you heard Gods whisper, calling you home, you did not want to leave us, I saw your fight. You loved us so much that you held on tight until Sister Yemi was around you, prayed for you and told you how much we all love you and then your strength was gone and you could no longer hold on. Finally, you gave your hand to God, your maker, and slipped away quietly without telling us goodbye.

I will forever miss you because you have been all I ever needed in my life to become the man that I am today. God gave me the best mum in the world. You taught me to never give up on my dreams but persevere no matter how hard the storms may be and always told me I could tell you anything bothering me. Thank you for the support you gave freely, the prayers, the love and care you showed towards us all. There is no way I can ever pay you back but the plan is to show you that I understand. You are appreciated because whenever I was down, you were always there for me and never left me alone because you cared for me. There are no words that can express how I feel and I appreciate how you raised me and all the extra love that you gave me.

Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday but yesterday is gone. So today I am thankful for your life well lived. Say hello to Dad, tell him we are in Gods hands and we will be fine.

Continue to rest in peace till we meet again to part no more...
 

My mummy my mummy, sisi Arin, Arin e to yi (Arin speaking), glory be to God our heavenly father for a pleasant and fulfilled life you lived.

You were indeed a mother in Israel, you lived your entire life for God reading the word, praying and practically demonstrating the teachings of God to your Husband, children, siblings, extended family, friends and all your loved ones.

You were consistent in prayer and held on to the word of God during difficult challenges, making decisions and interceding on behalf of all your loved ones. You never compromised God for anything, an exemplary life style to follow by all. 

You allowed the light of God shining in you and through you to touch everyone that comes in contact with you.

My mummy my mummy all your support and love shown will never be forgotten, I will forever cherish every moment we spent together.

My mummy my mummy, unique is what you were. Clearly you were indeed a mum in a million (THE BEST). 

You will forever be missed particularly always being the first person to reach out by phone call on all special occasions such as birthday, anniversary etc.

Your last saying while you were on your sick bed; which continues to echo and will forever live with me is "E ma gba adura fun n wa o" (pray for us).

My mummy my mummy, Aya Baba La Sun; I know you are resting peacefully in the Lord.

Forever loved, I miss you dearly.

Sun re (sleep well) till we meet again in the blossom of our Lord in Jesus mighty name.

Mom,
Words cannot describe how I feel about you , loving, prayerful, always joyful, gentle , patient, independent and beautiful.
You are the best mom I could ever have asked for and I’m forever blessed that I had the privilege and honor to call you my mother.
I am grateful that I can hear your voice and prayers in my mind and I will hold on to them dearly. I will always remember the words of wisdom that you have sown in me and I will strive to make you proud.
I love you and I want you to know that you will always be in my heart.
Your loving daughter- Yemi

You are a woman with a heart of gold. An Epitome of beauty. You became our mother & father when we lost our parents. You gave us love,care & affection,and your constant monitoring is of great value to us. Your words of advice made us what we are today. Thank you ma for standing by us at that turbulent time. I believe angels in heaven will rejoice at your departure.

Rest on mummy,at the bossom of Christ your Lord till we meet to part no more.
AKINJIYAN OLUWAGBENGA T. (FOR THE CHILDREN OF LATE JEROME OLUGBEMI AKINJIYAN)

Mummy Grace Arinola Akinjiyan (Yemi ‘Loiye as I nicknamed her - Mother of Goodness) was an exceptional Mother to her own children and their friends.
Her strong faith and gentle yet firmly held beliefs were truly the mark of a devout Christian Mother.
Yei, you welcomed me and mine into your family without reservation. It was always fun having conversations with you in Ondo. You always responded and ended with prayers for us all. Those were truly precious calls.
You are sorely missed but God loves you best. We take solace in the fact that you are resting easy with our Lord having left a solid legacy in your children, their families and those of us who were fortunate to know you.
Wo se o Yemi ‘Loiye. Sun re o.

Mummy you are '"Absent here but present with the Lord".
I am blessed indeed to have had you as my mother.
You were truly Exceptional and Priceless.
Thank you for your love of God, our Dad and each & every one of us.
Thank you for raising me and showing me the way to go.
Thank you for your unwavering prayerful and practical support in all seasons!
Thank you for tirelessly putting us all first; often at great cost to you!

Thank you for "Never giving up, praying without ceasing".
It has been a privilege to be your daughter and learn from you.
Thank you for Everything!

I miss the times we’d share.
I miss your prayers, stories, laughter, WhatsApp posting / prayers, Facebook stories and of course ‘our disagreements’.

I am eternally grateful to God for your life and accomplishments.
Memories of you I will always cherish.
May your legacy live on in all of your children & grandchildren.
Till we meet again.

Mrs. Grace Arinola Akinjiyan ( Mummy Satellite ) was a woman of faith, courage and conviction and I will miss her greatly.
She will be remembered for so many things but her faith stood out. She was a great example of a follower of Christ and prayed at all times in all situations. She never had a Bible far from her. Her faith and conviction were strong and she always had an encouraging word to say to you. She showed immense courage during challenging times and was always available to support her children and grandchildren.

Whenever she visited she never sat around but participated in all home activities. She was a joy to have around the house and would volunteer to do anything. Her usual saying would be “what do we have to do today.” She demonstrated hard work pays-off and was a great example to us.

She treated all her children and grandchildren with respect and was supportive of their activities. She was patient generous and kind not only to us but all our friends. I will miss her smile, her prayers and her presence. I will miss her phone calls. I will miss her encouragement. Although saddened by her passing-on, I know she now rests in glory with our Lord and that gives me great solace.

Rest in the Lord Mummy

I write this tribute on behalf of my Mother, Mrs. Olanike Alabi; my Late Dad- Mr. Alfred Folarin Alabi. We are comforted by the words of this poem...

An Angel whispered,
"Take my hand and
come with me;
your work here is done."

I went away to a place
where there's no tears nor sorrow,
only laughter and smiles.
There will always be a tomorrow....
- Diana Blokzyl

This is a friendship that dates back to the late 70’s, our first friend and neighbors moving in to Satellite Town. Over the years, we grew to be family beyond friends, celebrating all milestones through thick and thin.... Mummy Opposite as I would call her and “Mummy Keee!” As my mum would shout out and your response of “Owi Beee” was sure to follow... that was the affinity that lied between them over 40 odd years plus...

Still in denial and pained at your exit Mummy. You were indeed a rock, a cheerleader and an angel sent from above to take care of me especially in my trying moments in the last few years. I dare say a Godmother to me and more than a friend indeed to my dear mother, Mrs. Olanike Alabi as you stood selflessly by us through our ordeal in recent times.

Your prayers, sincere advice, genuine, unwavered and unconditional love for my mum, dad and myself knew no bounds.

I recall your consoling words when Daddy passed and you said I should take heart as he wanted to pass with me present. Coming from you, it was very assuring. Your wisdom was straight from above.

A woman of very few words but your action spoke more.... I cannot but reference your prayers once again. Genuine and piercing like a two edged sword, touching every bone and marrow, targeted at lifting heavy burdens. I’ll MISS that.

Gosh... February, we still sat together discussing and you consoling me about Daddy. Little did I know what lied ahead. How I feel this “Gbas- Gbos” of pain ... but we can’t question the Almighty. You mean the era of close 4 has finally come to an end. Indeed... life is in phases and we need to make and keep good memories for the future.

You would always rise to the occasion to assist in the little way you can. Ohhh how words fail me to describe how amazing a soul you were.

Introspectively, we seemed to connect on many levels and issues without saying much. You were a breath of fresh air, caring and compassionate to the core. You visited mummy at mine as often as you could despite the strain and the distance.

I remember our last outing together where we went shopping and I insisted that you had to take a matching pair of slippers with mine. You were tired that day and complained about that nagging headache... that headache which we should have paid closer attention to than just a casual medical check.

Very smart and discerning, an encourager to the core. I am constantly reminded by your thoughtful messages, calls and life advice. Keeping a constant eye on daddy for me. I am indeed glad that I got closer to you in last few years Mummy, yours was a pure, selfless and unadulterated love.

Rest in the Almighty’s bosom ... where I am assured that you are. You have left us with wonderful memories of how to live in old age.

Mummy you journeyed through life well and have now highlighted at your stop. We will keep your fond memories in our hearts as we continue life’s journey emulating those attributes you displayed that brought us joy till the time we meet at the Lord’s feet.

Our thoughts and prayers also go to my siblings and the rest of the family and pray that we are all comforted by the Almighty during this period, taking one day at time...


God bless

Mama was so much loved by us all here in Bolton. 
We were saddened by her passing to glory, but grateful to God for long life, blessed family and her commitment to Christ.
Rest on mummy in the bosom of the Lord.

Dear Mummy, words really failed me at this moment to express exactly how I feel but I thank God for a beautiful life you spent.
I can still remember your beautiful smile, hear your voice and your humility is next to none. We were always happy to have you visit us in Bolton.
Thank God for the opportunity to celebrate your 80th birthday which was full of wonderful memories. I’m still keeping the hair extension you gave me during one of your visits in your memory ma
You are greatly missed Mum but we believe you are in a better place and we shall all meet on the resurrection morning.

Adieu Beloved Mum❤️

My dear aunty, you lived a fulfilled and loving life and I thank God for a life well spent.
The last time we spke, you effortlessly smoothed over some brewing family issues as you were a woman of substance and always worked at uniting the family. And you did so so very well.

You were so accommodating and caring of all. When your big brother,my dad died, you humbly stepped in to his shoes in many respects. Though I was no longer in Nigeria, I do know you were selflessly there for my siblings without question and not expecting anything in return. And I once more thank you posthumously.

As you join your siblings Labanji my dad, uncle Fiayo, aunty Mercy and of course your parents, may you all be united with Our Lord Jesus in joy and peace in heaven where you live for ever and ever.
May God keep you among His people and may you see your Redeemer face to face and enjoy the sight of God forever. Amen.
God bless the whole family you left behind. Adieu aunty; rest in perfect peace.

You were always there to give your support to everyone. I am thankful for all the lives you touched, including mine. Rest In Peace mummy
