Ayokunle mi ... as I fondly called you...
I thought I was gifted with words but putting these thoughts to words has proved so difficult.
To know you, Ayo was to love you. All that needed to be exchanged was a hello. Your smile and your gentle way of speaking lights up the darkest of rooms and warms the coldest of hearts. You were indeed gentle in your ways.
I recall the last time we saw a few weeks back when I came over. I recall all that we talked about especially the plans for your thanksgiving. We chose the color white as the color for the day and you wanted to wear a white lace. It therefore bit so hard when I got that call the morning of your passing. I refuse to believe it but alas!
Ayo, you were a rare gem, an epitome of beauty and humility, you were selfless in all your ways, you gave without expecting anything in return, you loved and cared selflessly, you represented what true friendship meant
My friend turned sister, my fashionista, my “that’s how we roll babes”, my picture motivator, my gist partner, my prayer partner, my confidant, my groove partner, my travel mate....
I will miss you sorely babes.
BUT it’s reassuring that your soul has finally found rest from the pains and torture of these past months.
I love you Ayo but Jesus loves you the most.
Adieu dear sis till we meet to part no more.
