ForeverMissed
Large image

This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Rev. (Mrs) Beatrice Deborah Nweke Onyegbula, 71, born on June 5, 1944 and passed away on December 30, 2015. Betty, Nweke or Mumsy as she was fondly called by friends and family was a beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, grand-mother, sister, aunt, and mentor to many in her church and community.

She will be remembered as an icon and amazon because of the genuine and unconditional love she had for people, the innate wisdom that she so freely shared, the dexterity of her vocations, and the immense strength she displayed in times of adversity even till her very last breath. 

She was and will always be a mother to many leaving an amazing legacy that will continue as a source of inspiration and in posterity for loved ones and those that really knew her.

Mama... we will always remember you, your prayers and blessings will always be with us, your wishes will always be our command, your light will continue to shine through us, and your love will never be forgotten. 

She was blessed in a wonderful marriage to late Elder John C. Onyegbula. He preceded her, along with her lovely daughter Ogonnaya, to Heaven. She  is now survived by six children (Obinna, Uche, Okey, Nnenna, Nkem, and Chinedu), fifteen grandchildren, numerous siblings, in-laws and relations.

Rest well in His bosom... till we meet again.

To my beloved sweet mother,

I sit here this early morning reflecting on life and remembering your sweet love, resilience, faith in Christ, and deep love for us your family and the several people you embraced as your children and I weep but at the same time smile with the strong values and legacies you left behind.

Though nine years have passed since you departed this sinful world, your presence lingers in the very fabric of my being, a gentle whisper in the wind, a soft echo in the chambers of my heart. Time may have dimmed the sharpness of grief, but it has not dulled the depth of love that I hold for you - a love that transcends the boundaries of life and death, reaching across the vast expanse of eternity.

In the tapestry of my memories, you are woven everywhere with threads of love, kindness, and unwavering strength. You were more than a mother; you were my guiding light, my confidante, my source of strength and comfort in times of distress. Your love was a beacon of hope in the darkest of nights, a steady hand to hold amidst life's turbulent seas.

Though you may no longer walk beside me in the physical realm, your spirit continues to walk with me every step of the way. In moments of joy, I feel your presence, a silent celebration of life's precious moments. In moments of sorrow, I find solace in your memory, a reminder that love transcends the boundaries of time and space.

Your legacy lives on not only in the memories we cherish but also in the lessons you imparted, those core values, resilience, patience, compassion, and unwavering faith in God that continue to guide me through life's myriad challenges. You taught me the true meaning of love - selfless, unconditional, and eternal - and for that, I am forever grateful.

As I navigate the journey of life, I continue to carry you very closely with me always, a beacon of light illuminating the path ahead. Though you may have left this world, your love remains etched in the very fabric of my soul, a timeless reminder of the bond we share - a bond that transcends the boundaries of life and death, uniting us in a love that knows no end. I continue to intentionally continue those legacies and core values you taught me.

Until we meet again, sweet mother, know that you are loved beyond measure and missed beyond words. Your memory will forever be a treasure, a guiding star in the vast expanse of eternity. Continue to rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord.

Mumsy, it's been 7 years without your lovely presence. Your gentle ways, very sound and thoughtful advice, the sweet taste of your ofe Okazi...

I wish you were here to witness God's blessings upon my life and to meet my beautiful family - the one thing you wished the most for me. You have been missed more than words can ever truly express; however, we stand strong and take deep solace continuously knowing that where you are is so much more blissful and glorious. The sweet memories of life with you will keep us comforted until the beautiful day of the Lord.

Dear mummy, I've been thinking about you all through December as I spent Christmas alone in Lagos. Words fall short in times like this but I know you're in a better place. As I look forward to the good days ahead I really wish you are here to share in it. I know all your prayers on me would surely yield fruits and that your constant desire for me is coming to pass now and I'm forever grateful for your motherly love and care. Rest well Ma.

When i heard that mama the mama ( that's what i call her) was in Portharcout, i was so excited because i knew i will be flying into Nigeria through Portharcout and wanted to spend time with her.

I called her number to notify her that i will be around and wanted to see her but was unable to speak with her. I never knew that i will never see mama again, i mean never see her again.

I got the news of her demise on the 30th of Dec 2015, while i was preparing to go see her, cos i got into Portharcout on the 29th of Dec 2015. I was destabilized, all my expectations and enthusiasm cut short. i could not believe, it came to me as a shock. i never knew mama was in the hospital all this while.

My eyes filled with tears, my heart in sadness, what it means to loss you mama. No one will ever understand, no farewell word were ever spoken, no time to say goodbye.

I am glad to have had the pleasure of knowing you mama. i will forever remember the fun times we had together and many laughs that we shared, your generous loving spirit continues to inspire me.

I remember in April 2014 when i traveled to Nigeria to bring my Dad who was at that point critical and needed urgent medical attention, I stayed with Mama in Ikeja, on the day of our departure back to the US. My dad took ill again and almost died. Mama took us to the hospital that night, stayed with me all through this trial period until my dad was strong enough to fly back to the US.

Thank you for the kind words you always share.
Thank you for your selfless character.
Thank you for taking time to pray with me.
Thank you for caring.

I promise you mama you will never be forgotten,for you memories will always be a source of joy for those of us whose lives you touched.

I refuse to say goodbye but would prefer to say till we meet again
Rest in peace mama, you will be greatly missed.

"FAREWELL TO MY BELOVED AUNTY - Da NWEKE"

Aunty: I'm still in shock as I write this tribute - not wanting to believe the news of your demise. What a wicked world we live in! Dada, you left us too soon. My heart aches. You cared for everyone you met - including me - who came to Lagos as a young man after high school education; and not knowing where to turn. You welcomed me to your house; and gave me wings to fly.
As a distinguished lady and a rare gem that you were, when I reminded you of your hospitality to me then in Lagos, at a convention in Atlanta, Georgia, your retort was " I don't remember that". Well, Aunty, I remember; and I will never forget.
You lived an exemplary life worthy of emulation. I grieve with those you left behind. May your soul rest in perfect peace with the Lord.
Adieu, aunty till we meet again.

Words cannot describe the shock I had when I learnt about your passing.. What a great loss to humanity.
Big auntie,you personified everything about love, understanding, Godly wisdom, and family support. In fact, your light is still shining as a becon of hope to all. You will surely be missed. But we are all celebrating your life here on earth even as we know that you are resting now in perfect peace with the Lord--Amen!
On behalf of my family,and all Obialor family members, I wish you and yours eternal rest and peace of God--that passeth all understanding.
Adieu!

Tribute to Late (Mummy) Nweke B. Onyegbula

The news of your departure to eternal abode came as a sudden shock to me, that faithful morning on 31st Dec, the last day of the year 2015, in Nkwerre. In fact I could not believe it. It was a sad and painful news indeed, even to my husband.

Mummy was a very caring mother; easy-going, humane and a charismatic leader during her lifetime. A true woman of GOD who devoted her life to spirituality with Christ being her focus. She was ready to assist anyone who came across her at anytime, both spiritually and otherwise. A real mother, to the core, and she touched the lives of many.

Her death is no doubt a monumental loss to the family, relations, and friends. She would be remembered for her forthrightness and patriotism. I pray to GOD Almighty, in His infinite mercy, to continue to grant the children, grandchildren, in-laws, relations, and friends, the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

Mummy, as I fondly call you, rest in the bosom of the Lord. Amen

Tribute to My Darling Best Friend Betty aka Amakiri

Betty aka Amakiri Amadi Corporation of Onyegbula, as we usually called ourselves, so you have gone never to see you again!
We were so friendly that through our friendship our husbands became friends. We worked together in the Ministry of Labour and our co-workers called us twins because we were always together and sometimes wore the same clothes. Our wedding rings were the same and bought from the same shop before we were even employed with the Ministry. It was God’s handiwork. To crown it all, we go on maternity leave at the same time. When I was looking for a baby girl she was looking for a baby boy and that was exactly how it happened. She was so hardworking and she taught me how to bake cakes, meat pies, sausage rolls etc.
Before I travelled home to Egbu for Xmas I called her but I could not get through to her number. I was worried and complained to my daughter that I was unable to reach her. A week after we came back to Lagos I had a phone call from her second son Uche telling me that his mother had passed. I started shouting and crying telling him ‘don’t tell me, don’t tell me’. I was shocked. I am still shocked and cannot believe that my darling friend is no more and gone forever, at the bossom of her Lord. She has answered the glorious call of heavenly bliss.
Death is wicked, awful. Betty, you really played a very good role in bringing up your children. You are now in a much better place where joy overflows, a place of tranquillity and a place where love reigns supreme.
Amakiri, I will never never forget you. Your memory remains indelible in my heart unto eternity.
Adieu my darling best friend till we meet again.

Mummy, you left so suddenly. You were such an inspiration - in love, in wisdom, dedication and virtue to us all. So caring, so loving !!! You loved God and never missed an opportunity to share that love to us. You ran your race and finished strongly. As you rest in the bosom of the almighty I am grateful for the years we spent running around your home with Nkem and Chinedu, a home you made so welcoming, those memories will stay with me till we meet again. At this time I remember Phil 1:21 - "To live is christ, to die is gain", your life was the embodiment of how our walk in christ should be!
Rest in perfect and everlasting peace of the arms of our lord and saviour till we all meet again.
Love,

God bless you all and give you the fortitude to bear this unfathomable loss. Amen

Tribute to a wonderful mother. It came like a bolt in the blue the news of your sudden demise . Mummy i wish to use this opportunity to tell the world how wonderful and a great mummy you are. It all started when I finish from university 2006 I came to Lagos to live with you it was so much fun living with you, you took me as your own daughter and cared for me, you taught me how to be a mother and wife, you taught me so many things in life; is it how to cook, bake, to pray and so on. I can ever forget how we use to go to Mr bigs when heat is too much, I always remember how you used to ask me to dance nkwere song and you will be throwing money at me. Anytime you are travelling to US and Canada I always cry in the airport knowing it's for few months and now you are not here again how do i stop these uncontrollable tears!!!!. You volunteered to signed the document on my court wedding day. Is it helping other people? you never stop your children from helping others, I cherished every moment we had together and everything you gave me including my first rapper which I use for my traditional wedding. I remember vividly all your advice when I was getting married, it was from your house I got married and came back after wedding. I remember the day I told you I was pregnant you were very happy and danced all day. In all the pains I was passing through you comforted me and kept telling me after delivery all the pains will disappear and then comes joy. When I had that you are no more I didn't believe it, because when will spoke in December I told you we will come home soon for my children to see you and you said in your next visit to Canada that you will pass through Italy to see us, I had taught of how happy and thankfully I will be when I will see you, but I never know that I will not see u again. I always tell my daughter which you cared for during the pregnancy that we will go to Nigeria to see grandma in Lagos, she is always happy any time you bless her on phone she will say amen. Mummy you're indeed a great woman, a wonderful, a very good hearted woman, nne ora, nwayioma, nne Obioma, nne di nso, you touched so many people that came in contact with you positively, you accept everyone big or small what a memorable life you lived , you will always live in our heart. Your daughter Ogechi....

TRIBUTE TO AUNTY ME (as I used to call you)
   (A great Gem is Gone)
When I got the news of your sudden pass away; my ears could not believe it. I never believed that you will leave this sinful world so soon. When it’s the time your children will have taken care of you, no one can question God for calling you so early. Anyway God knows the best; it’s the will of God and not the will of any man.
I will never forget the important things you taught me; you were a great adviser to me spiritually and in material issues of life.
If I was told that as at the last time I saw you at late Comfort Asuagha’s burial will be the last time, I will see you again, I would not believe it. You were a great leader that affected the lives of so many people especially in Nkwerre Aborigine Union Lagos and Nkwerre Daughter’s Association Lagos branch you affected our lives in so many ways.
Reverend Mrs Beatrice Onyegbula you were an Icon, woman of substance, a virtuous woman, a Godly woman, a woman of integrity, peace and love.
We will miss you so much but God loves you more, you were a soldier of Christ.
Daa Nweke you are not dead; you are just sleeping in the Lord. We pray that God in His infinite mercy grant you eternal rest in His bosom, Amen.
Farewell till we meet to part no more (Rev21:4)
Adieu Aunty mee!!! Good Night

TRIBUTE TO A LOVING MOTHER

Shared by: Nkechi Ogbonna (nee Onyegbula)

My beloved mother, you were a mother to all, a mother to reckon with, a great woman has gone….
Death! I know is inevitable, but you left too soon. I cannot hold back the tears whenever I think of the wonderful moments we shared, but who am I to question God? I have the confidence that you are sleeping in His bosom and resting from all the pains and cares of this world.
Mummy no doubt, you were a legend, a wonderful woman, prayer warrior, understanding, loving, a good listener, caring and selfless.
Your gentle heart of love can never be forgotten; your words of encouragement and advice to us will always be remembered.
You were outspoken, courageous, disciplined and very hardworking.
We will sorely miss you.
Rest In Peace Great woman until the resurrection morning.

A TRIBUTE TO DA NWEKE, A PROFILE IN FORTITUDE.

Shared by: Agu & Ego Onwuzuruoha

Beatrice Nweke Onyegbula (nee Onwuzuruoha) was a sister and mother par excellence. Her devotion to her husband and children was legendary. She was and will remain a towering figure in our hearts and minds. A very brilliant scholar, her beautiful handwriting and neat school notes were sources of inspiration to me as we were coming of age. She touched many people's lives even in the extended Onwuzuruoha household. We got very close in the last few years and she morphed from being a big sister to my wife and I to being a mother and confidant. I watched as she bore with calm surrender the loss of her beloved husband and daughter. Peter (not Peter the apostle ), the hero of Hugh Walpole's novel, FORTITUDE, said "It is not life that matters but the courage you bring to it". Da Nweke passed through this life with so much courage and fortitude. We have lost a friend, sister and mother. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. ....Agu & Ego Onwuzuruoha

The loss of a mother is an opportunity for us all to reflect on what true sacrifice looks like. Only a mother can take you into herself, hold and cuddle you for nearly a year at the risk of her own life and still do it with pure joy and selflessness. She never asks for repayment and reparation. All her life, she worries and truly cares for you unceasingly till God calls her back to a higher responsibility.
To the Onyegbulas, you are the lights this Mother has left for the world. Keep it burning with faith and with hope till you are united again in His reign. May her sweet spirit fly home in peace! Amen.

To my beloved sweet mother,

I sit here this early morning reflecting on life and remembering your sweet love, resilience, faith in Christ, and deep love for us your family and the several people you embraced as your children and I weep but at the same time smile with the strong values and legacies you left behind.

Though nine years have passed since you departed this sinful world, your presence lingers in the very fabric of my being, a gentle whisper in the wind, a soft echo in the chambers of my heart. Time may have dimmed the sharpness of grief, but it has not dulled the depth of love that I hold for you - a love that transcends the boundaries of life and death, reaching across the vast expanse of eternity.

In the tapestry of my memories, you are woven everywhere with threads of love, kindness, and unwavering strength. You were more than a mother; you were my guiding light, my confidante, my source of strength and comfort in times of distress. Your love was a beacon of hope in the darkest of nights, a steady hand to hold amidst life's turbulent seas.

Though you may no longer walk beside me in the physical realm, your spirit continues to walk with me every step of the way. In moments of joy, I feel your presence, a silent celebration of life's precious moments. In moments of sorrow, I find solace in your memory, a reminder that love transcends the boundaries of time and space.

Your legacy lives on not only in the memories we cherish but also in the lessons you imparted, those core values, resilience, patience, compassion, and unwavering faith in God that continue to guide me through life's myriad challenges. You taught me the true meaning of love - selfless, unconditional, and eternal - and for that, I am forever grateful.

As I navigate the journey of life, I continue to carry you very closely with me always, a beacon of light illuminating the path ahead. Though you may have left this world, your love remains etched in the very fabric of my soul, a timeless reminder of the bond we share - a bond that transcends the boundaries of life and death, uniting us in a love that knows no end. I continue to intentionally continue those legacies and core values you taught me.

Until we meet again, sweet mother, know that you are loved beyond measure and missed beyond words. Your memory will forever be a treasure, a guiding star in the vast expanse of eternity. Continue to rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord.

TRIBUTE TO A LOVELY AND GREAT MOTHER-IN-LAW

February 29, 2016

On Wednesday, December 30, 2015, my mom-in-law of 15 years went to be with her Lord and Saviour.                                                                                                                                                                                                      
You were more to me than an in law, I would characterize you as my Mother-in-Love.
Words are not enough to pay a good tribute to you. My tears flowed, my heart bled.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Mum2! My mother, midwife, nurse, teacher, coach, counsellor, mentor and, reliable help is gone ahead. 
                                                                                                                                                                                          A whole lot in a woman! You gave me the best you had and could give as a mother. You taught me to trust God Almighty in every situation I face in life; 

He knows best and is forever faithful. So I believe HIS will is best for us all, and He will keep us till we see you again, amen.

 Precious In the Sight of the Lord Is the Death of His Saint."

This statement alone made sense in the midst of seeming confusion. I drew strength and comfort from these precious words of the Lord. He further confirmed it to me when you were revealed to me in your translated form, as you were filled with joy unspeakable, and full of glory. Dancing to the heavenly music as if you were the song itself.

Since you have joined the cloud of witnesses watching us from the grand stand, I pray that my family and I will keep up the good name you bore.

I can't say "ADIEU" Mom. I still hear your voice and see your face very vividly in my mind. I remember your instructions, counsel, and words of comfort & faith at challenging times. I still long to call your phone and hear you call me.

Your memory and face are always fresh in my heart. No one can fit into your space in my life.

You taught me to bravely face challenges of this world. You did your part to make this world a better place and by God's grace, our children, and our children's children, will reap the benefits of the seeds you have sown.

You were the best mother-in-law any woman could wish for. There wouldn't have been any better mother-in-law than you in the whole world.

 GOOD NIGHT MOM.

See you in the "morning".

MY OWN GRAND-MA

February 29, 2016

Where is my Grand-Ma? I have not seen her.

Who will take dinner with me?

Who will play with me? Who will take me to Shoprite?

I miss you Grand-Ma.

You were mom's midwife, and she delivered me into your soft loving hands. You made sure I was safe when I came into this world.

You nursed me from then till I am now a "lady".

You gave me your name, "Chinma", just as beautiful as you were.

Wherever you are, I know that God is keeping you. I will ever miss you my darling grandma.

I love you Grand-Ma.

MY SWEET GRANDMA

February 29, 2016

Greatest grandma, you are not gone to me. You called me "AdaUche", and you always asked how I was and if I needed anything. When I was an infant, you sat and watched me while I slept. You gave me a lot of soothing baths, fed me and cared for me. You always bought me beautiful things, and took me out shopping. You taught me to be well behaved and respectful. To always pray and read my books.

You were always strong and beautiful, kind and always giving yourself.

The plan was to come and spend Christmas with you when school would close last December 2015. Little did I know that I will not see you here on earth after the last time we visited you on 6th December.

I wish I could turn back the clock and spend more time with you and show you more love and care.

Thank you grandma for all the things you did for me and my siblings. For

your unfailing love and doting care. No one else can be like you. You were a wonderful and unique grandma to me. I love you so much grandma. Jesus will always take care of you. Jesus please take extra care of my grandma for me. Thank you Lord for her life.
