Happy Heavenly birthday Beverly, the good lord will keep your family strong.
On Friday, July 5 2019, Beverly went to be with our Lord Jesus alongside her beautiful daughter Gabrielle. The Lord took these beautiful, bright shining lights home, and left a hole in the hearts of their loved ones. Beverly was born in London to the Williams - Hart family and for the 28 years that she lived on earth, she was a bright light to many and was deeply loved.
Beverly's young life was lived in Port Harcourt with her parents and sisters and she moved on in 2008 to Covenant University where she graduated top in her class as a Mircobiologist. She was very hardworking and super dedicated to her work, family and friends. In April 2016, she married the love of her life Engr. Tammy Karibo in one of the most beautiful weddings ever. For the 3 years she was married before her demise, she lived a life dedicated to her family and shone bright because of the love she enjoyed. She was passionate about design and party decorations and ran a business; "The Party Villa" where she used her God-given talent in design to bring life to parties.
We are grateful to God that she got to experience the joy of motherhood, even though for a short time, but we know that Beverly would have made an amazing mother to baby Gabrielle. Today, they are both resting in God's arms and even though we can never understand this, we rest in the fact that she lived a beautiful life that blessed many people. Her persistence and fighting strength will never be forgotten.
Beverly leaves behind her husband Tammy, her parents, brother, sisters and a host of amazing friends who desperately need our prayers in this painful season. She was a perfect wife, daughter, sister and friend who gave her time and heart to everyone. She loved God with her whole heart and lived a life worthy of emulation. She will be sorely missed by everyone and the impact of her loss will be felt tremendously but we know that heaven has gained an angel. It still seems so surreal and it will be hard for everyone who loved her and most importantly her family, to come to terms with her sudden demise. We are constantly praying for God's comfort and peace in this season. Till we meet to part no more!
Goodnight IB….For the time we all shared with you, the memories created, we will forever be grateful.
Rest Easy Dear One and continue watching over us!

Its been four years since you both left. I remember your smile, your generous heart, your kindness and your sacrificial love to me. You are forever remembered and forever cherished. I know that you are rejoicing with the angels, and looking down on us all. God has granted me peace beyond measure. I am no longer sad or depressed when you cross my mind. All I remember is you amazing smile and your kind heart.
Rest on B and Gabrielle.

Dear Bev,
Another year, I know you and your daughter are in heaven with God.
Its crazy how life keeps going on and I still remember every single conversation (perhaps because they were few, yet meaningful).
Keep your light shining forever.
Love and miss you.

Hey Boo,
Its been three years since you both left.
I lost both you, a pillar and Gabrielle, a future.
A lot of things have changed.
And I am much stronger than i was three years ago
There were days I would ask God why this happened to us
And there were days I would cry myself out.
There were days I couldn't pray because I didn't even know what to say
I would ask God what went wrong, what did I do wrong, what didn't we do right.
A lot has happened to me since then
And out of that furnace came refined steel.
Trusting, believing and loving a Father, whom though I have not seen,
has carried me all through the way.
I couldn't post on the 5th,
Because I was at your graveside
Just talking to you and letting all I felt out.
I did some cleaning and put some nice flowers, and I know you saw them
Everything happened so quick three years ago,
And I really did not get a chance to say goodbye.
And then there was a pandemic which made travel difficult.
I remember your laughter, your smile, you pure and innocent love, your faith in God and your kind heart.
You are gone but never forgotten.
Continue resting my darlings.

Yesterday would have marked your 31st birthday; I had mixed feelings for the fact that you ain't here for us to celebrate yet another milestone in your life and other things you would have accomplished before this. But I find solace because I know you are in a better place. I miss your mannerism in response to gist and your laughter which triggers one to join in. Keeping on resting well IB

My girls, My babies,
Another year has passed without you. The events of today 2 years ago just keep playing back in my mind. And the tears still roll. There is no day that passes that I don't think of you but now with smiles, remembering the beautiful moments we shared. I still play your voice notes sometimes and laugh hard. #naughtyboy
A lot has changed in our world since you left. But I know you are in a much better place, far away from the sufferings and heartbreaks of this world.
I still hold on to God, who still gives us strength to go through each day, taking one step at a time. He is still the Captain of my Destiny. And Jesus, the author, and finisher of my faith.
It has been one tough journey alone and still is tough, but I know you both are watching over me.
Continue to rest well, and I hope you keep dancing in God's presence.
I Miss You so much. ❤❤❤❤

Ibbbbb!!! It's Christmas again and all I can think of is the time spent with you this season and even when you weren't around for the holidays, you always celebrate with us from afar and always come back bearing gifts.
Always bringing everyone together. I miss you so much sis. Even though we were brought together by marriage in same family, we had the relationship of long known sisters.
I have always entered this space reading various tributes from special people you knew and impacted in their lives but couldn't bring myself to writing mine; but I couldn't hold back my tribute to you as i visited this page today. I miss the fun time, travels we had and also our plan of spending an holiday in Dubai.
God truly knows best. I really do miss you, the thought of you always in my head and mind. And your name is always on my lip. Love you Ibbbb!

Yaay boo!! It's your birthday!!! We rejoice with you even as you rejoice in heaven. I miss you very much. God has been my strength, my shield, and buckler and His Holy Spirit has been my comforter.
Not a day passes that I don't think of you and smile, because the memories and thoughts of you make me smile.
My life changed after you left. I became more prayerful, more conscious of the Holy Spirit, even as He has guided me through God's Word.
Some days were terrible, but they became easier as I leaned on His grace, for His grace is sufficient for me.
Today, we visited some pregnant women and supported them in your and Gabby's remembrance. They were really touched and happy.
Happy Birthday boo and thank you for the love you gave and we shared.

Dear Bev,
Sweet, caring , strong, funny, amazing Bev. Bev with a good heart.
So many words describe you...but dead is one that I never want to use for you.
I really dont want to accept that you are gone. For me you have gone on a journey to a far away place and I will see you soon.
The last time u messaged me...you invited me to ur auntys cos u were here for the Newyear.....
I could not make it due to work and I even forgot to update you. I remember missing you because you had to return Nigeria. That would have been the last time, I would have seen u.
It is wierd how, we only remember these specifics when we loose someone we love.
I have asked God why you...why now...why?
I remember in 2017 when I came to see you. You were unwell and God allowed me to see something powerful, he showed me how much you loved him, your confidence in him your faith, fearlessness and how much of a fighter you were. He showed me a real life example of a woman after Gods heart. You had these notes you had written out, full of your prayer requests and scriptures that you were praying. That really inspired me. It was a pleasure spending that day with u...it has been a highlight in my own salvation.
We spoke, prayed and watched the online sermon....I think it was about Wisdom. You wanted to see me grow so much that you gave me 2 of your books. I said when u come back to London , I will give them back. I still have them and, I treasure them even more now.
I remember you telling me about how you and Tammy met and how you were looking forward to being a mum. I remember how in love you were, if Tammy called, everything will be on hold and it is almost like you guys were in a world of your own. You did not pretend or care who was there. You called him "boooooo" and there was soo much excitement in your voice. I am so glad you met this wonderful man that loved God just as much as you did.
I also remember when we went to Gatwick together and spent time with each other, till u checked in. You kept telling your husband all these good things about me over the phone and even though we had not met he wanted to speak to me and thank me based on your words. ...
You always saw the best in people. And your legacy is one that no one will forget.
Even in your death, you have brought people together.
No day has gone by since u left where I have not thought about you. Today is the 14th November and I have only had the courage to post this 4 months after you have left us. The wound is still fresh. I know you are home with Jesus. I love you always.

There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December when someone says your name
Because I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day,
There's a time that I remember when I never felt so lost
When I felt all of the anger was too powerful to stop
Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark
I'll carry these torches for you that you know I'll never drop
Cheers to you , As the thoughts bring back all the memories of everything we had been through
Miss you babe. Your torch still burns bright in my heart.

God knows why i couldn't see you again to actualize that dream.
Keep resting my ever calm Sister in the lord.
Serving God with you was a memorable one.
You're greatly missed Beverly.
I love you.....

I didn't know you personally Bev except that we were in Same department in Covenant University and you were jovial and approachable.
Motherhood was fab on you...
You would have been 29 few days ago but Heaven couldn't wait to gain another angel.
Rest peacefully.

Happy Birthday Love (August 11th)

Heaven Really Couldn’t Wait to Have You….
It was your birthday on the 11th and you would have been 29. So young, full of life and determined to make your mark in this world but alas; “Heaven couldn’t wait for you”. It still pierces my heart and the truth is every time I remember you, I heave a deep sigh!
It’s been a full month plus since I received that horrible call from Philip telling me about your passing away. To be honest, that was the hardest day of my entire life. It was the weirdest call I had ever received and I was utterly in shock. This past month has moved by in a blur and at just very random times I catch myself thinking about you and all that could have been. I have thought through this over and over again and it still doesn’t make sense to me. I have only held on to my faith in God and pressed on in the place of prayer so as not to give room for bitterness. In my head I believe that this shouldn’t have happened….We shouldn’t be mourning you Bee. This was not the plan but alas, here we are…Wrapped up in our thoughts of what should or could have been. For a minute, I didn’t want life to move on…I wanted the world to be still and mourn you for as long as possible…You shouldn’t be just a fleeting or passing memory. You are real and always alive to me Bee. I still hear your laughter and your voice quietly in my head…Oh I wanted to see you in my dreams and hear from you and yes I did. Everyone who knew you misses you badly. For every-time I think of you, I imagine the pain your family and Tammy feels. And whatever pain I feel pales in comparison….It is very hard Bee.
But in all of this, I have a learned a lesson that; it’s not by how long a person lived but by how much impact they made. I mean, I had the privilege of knowing you for about 10 years and experiencing the awesomeness of you and to see people pour out their heart lovingly for you has been the most heartfelt experience ever. The words are the same….There isn’t any doubt that you were an amazing human being Bee. You were a friend and more and today I am reminded of the scripture that says; “Teach us to number our days so that we may apply our hearts to wisdom”. Oh you showed so much wisdom and grace in your short time on earth. These are memories that will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew you. In this past month I have asked myself, what kind of memory/impression I am leaving on the hearts of the ones who I interact with daily. Who do people say I am? What will my testimony here on earth be like the day I move on to eternal rest? These are the most important aspects of our humanity. Not the wealth or riches we amassed, the clothes we wore, the vacations we took or our social media status but the lives we touched here on earth. How have we been a blessing to the ones around us? Are we constantly extending grace to even the weakest among us? Are our expectations of people wrapped up in our selfish desires? It’s in times like this that I self-evaluate and think introspectively. In this past month I have prayed more, studied the word more and have generally thought less about my own needs and more of the needs of the ones around me who are mourning.
Your legacy will always live on Bee…You are loved eternally dear friend! Have a blast in Heaven, till we meet to part no more.
Love,
