Where do I even start from telling the whole world how much you meant to me and my family in particular?
You were more than a brother to my husband, more than a brother in-law to me and even more than an uncle to our kid's.
You cared for us more than even a parent could care for his/her children.
No Sunday passes without you calling hubby to know how we are fearing.
Your care was second to non Doc.
The news of your death came as a big shock to us Doc. I even questioned God out of pain why he allowed u to live us at this time. Your death is indeed painful to bear but my confidence is that you are resting in a better place because you were a very good man. Your legacies sir will always be remembered.
#Goodbye my best brother in-law#
#Goodbye Ugonkembu#
#Goodbye One nze Nkwerre#
#Goodbye Doc#.

Azu, beautiful and fond memories are all I remember about you. The more I recount them, the more tears roll. We can’t question God, even in the midst of our hurt. Our consolation is that you have gone to a better place where there is no pain or sorrow. Even though you are gone, your memories will not fade. You were indeed a gentleman, cheerful and thoughtful. Rest In Peace. Your Cousin

My dearest Uncle Azu, your death hit me so hard like when I lost my mum, everything happened so fast, you called to console me and wish me safe journey to Nigeria not knowing that would be our last talk, ahhh death, why take the good ones, I will miss you our very own doc. Thank you for the good things you have done in your life time, we will never forget . May the Lord accept your soul. Gaa ije gi nke oma.

Azu
As you close your eyes in rest, may all your pain and troubles be lost forever. May you find paradise and a world of eternal life.
May your soul Rest in peace.

You Meant So Much
Azu as fondly call you, you meant so much to all of us. You were so nice
a human being and that's no lie.
Your presence brightened up the
dearest day.
You were a gentleman to the core.
You were so humble in so much high
and low associated with you.
Your smile alone warmed hearts.
When you called me and informed
about your illness l came to your home
and you assured me you would be well.
Doc, not a second passes when you're
not in my mind. The hurt will ease in time.
Many treats l have seen and cried.
They have all poured out like rain.
I know that you are resting well now.
And no longer in any pain.

Death o death where's thy sting My Zubby is a nice place where you cannot reach him again Zubby you lived a fulfilled life more than your pairs My consolation is that we spoke on the phone few days to your departure to meet our God in heaven. Thank you for all the time you sent medicine not telling me how soon. Sleep well my lovely Nephew. ADIEU.

Azu, I will not leave a tribute as your laughter is still heralding & being heard at your Umerenne that you loved so much and they are crazily in love with you. So cousin dearest, I love you now and always..

Doc as I always called you!! This is Baasque (as you always called me)!!
So this is it!! You are definitely gone!!
I still cannot believe it. It’s like a nightmare I need to wake up from.
To think of the fun loving person you were! We are all in shock!! You went too soon for sure. God alone knows why. He will look after those you left behind. You will forever be missed!! Ga nke oma cousins dearest!!
Baa

Azu nwanne di uto,
What shall I say. No words can comprehend your demise. You left us heart broken. As you rest in the bosom of the Lord, please remember to watch the people you have left behind. When you see my father Udeze Godson Chinaka, tell him I love and missed him.
Adieu bros!!!!❤❤❤

Bro Azu, am just short of words. Obi agbawalam. Your memories are every green. From my school days in Enugu till your demise you were still outstanding as a big bros. From Nigeria I still call you to seek medical advise which for once you never hesitated to give and crack me up afterwards. God bless your soul bro Azu. "Amudi" is in tears. Keep resting in the bosom of our maker.

Azuuu as I fondly call you where do i start from? This was not the plan. Who do I run to? Your good memories will continue to linger in my heart forever because it's hard to forget all those memorable days at Enugu. Those were the most happiest times I ever spent with you and your twin brother Chibyke. I remembered the very first time, you guys gave me the shock of my life but there and then I knew this is where my heart belongs. I always look forward to your weekend visit then at Enugu because once you're around you lighten up the place with your rib cracking jokes and some of your crazy stunts. My dearest brother inlaw, my big bros and my friend I can go on and on but I can't because I am truly broken. I will continue to stand strong knowing that you're in a better place where only saints belong. But this your word to me will live forever " Ann, life is too short for sorrows or for you to be unhappy, you're the only one that can make yourself happy, so do whatever that gives you joy and makes you happy". Thanks big bros because this words of yours has seen me through a lot of challenging times.
#ForEverInMyHeart#

Really, words fail me.
This is one of the hardest things I have done in a long while...
Zubby m, you never told me speaking with you 2 days before you passed on was going to be the last. I am so broken my ‘ever cheerful cousin’.
We have put this together to hold you close to us as long as we can.
Love and miss you Bro, I know you are in a better place, keep resting till we meet to part no more.

Ije Aham Harbor.

Demise of the Finest

Bro, you were the best gift that life could have given me and as the fond name I call you depicts, you were indeed:

N- Natural
U- Unique
M- Magnificent
C- Caring
I- Imaginative

As I write this am bombarded by memories of yore and my heart is indeed broken as your last words in your last days on this earth continue to confound me,,,,"so what's the point?"

I remember asking you severally why you keep asking me this question,but only to get that cynical look you reserve for me when you disapprove of my actions.

Today numci, I indeed understands what you meant, so change the look to the corky one that endeared you most to me.

Hurt as I may, and devastated as I can be, I can only remember you the only way you would want and how we have always talked about,,,,be happy, joyful, and no regrets! And yes my friend, no pain of mine can vanquish those memories for you accomplished all that you set your imagination on.

As I bid you goodbye my twin brother, my friend, my loyalist and my confidant, I take solace that you will continue to light up haven with your innumerable jokes, and will always be NUMCI!!

Chibuike Chinaka
