Dear daddy,
Hmnnn,it is unbelievable on that early hours of Saturday 16th of July 2022,when mummy called to inform me about your demise,my husband and I and our children were confused,we started contact prayers through phone but alas you had journeyed very far,I left home few days earlier after a visit for the preparation of mom's 70th birthday which you fully supported and wish to witness aside the cold hand of death that took you to your Lord and savior Jesus Christ. What shall we then say,we are not to mourn like an unbeliever but to hold on to God during the period of grief.
You came,you saw you conquered, glory to God.To talk about the life you lived it was an examplary life ,you took me into your family as your first 'daughter', you never for once harassed me, you never drove me out of your home for one day since I came in in 1988, you accommodated our mummy mama Ajoko and all my siblings, their husbands, wives, children and grandchildren (Mama Felicia, Bayo,Mary and my self,siblings of your dear wife). You have a large heart,you tolerated all of us, you shared in our joyful mood and period of grief, you will ask about us one after the other, you ask about my husband, children, when we call you, you call back, you don't want to use our credit you prefer using your own. Your contributions towards my education is immeasurable and I appreciate it, you love education, you want all and sundary to be educated,I remembered how you took form for my late niece aunty Felicia and you and mummy drove to Lagos to deliver the form to her, you encouraged me to run my Bnsc nursing and my masters,you love God as you took us to anglican church Keesi, in the early years,you love reading your big medical books till date, you love telling us stories, you give medical advice freely, you don't want any one to fall sick near you,
I remember when you used to run your private clinic when I would come from Ibadan to assist during my off duties a lot of free consultations you do for people. l can go on and on.
Daddy it is hard for me to write this,but with total submission to the will of God,I wish you eternal rest in the bossom of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. By the grace of God we promise to take care of your darling wife mama Dunke. Adieu sir!
Grace Mojisola Ogunrinde.
