Happy posthumous birthday my Mummy, sister and mentor. You would have been 71yrs yesterday. I'd forever celebrate you. You know why? You were very special and forever will be. Sleep on sweet sister, you're in a better place though I miss you very much. ❤️❤️

Auntie ,
Seven years have gone by just like yesterday. You're always loved and always remembered.
                   Benedicta.

7 Years today you rested from all life's toils. It's just like yesterday, but to die is to live forever in the hearts of your loved ones. I visited the house and your absence was very palpable but i consoled myself with the fact that you're in a better place. Sleep on sweet Sister, Mother, and Mentor. I love always and the memories of you will be sweet always . Sleep on Ma.

Aunty Bridget,

I didn't know you as well as I would have wanted to due to geography, but I have always greatly admired your strength, your courage, and your dedication to both the Lord and to your family. You left this earth right as my dad did, and I pray that you are keeping one another company in heaven as you wait for us to join you. You will be forever missed. I've been checking in with your boys since you left and they're all doing well. I know you loved them to distraction.

You are irreplaceable, i love and miss you so much. Keep dancing and smiling in heaven.

Dear Aunty Bridget,

I can't believe it's been 7 years gone by. A lot has happened in that time. I am happy to inform you that I graduated with my Ph.D. last year. I remember when we first spoke about my wanting to embark on this journey in 2015, you told me that I could do it and I should. Thank you for always inspiring me and being one of my biggest cheerleaders.

Thank you very much for everything you did for me on and off the field and I hope to continue to carry on your impeccable legacy.


Love now and always,


Your neice

Dr, Bakare Ummukulthoum

Doc, your distinguishing look, smile and knowledge always remembered. Rest in peace, Sister Morenike.

Aunty Bridget, gone but not forgotten. I pray God will continue to watch over all that you left behind.

Happy posthumous birthday to Dr. Bridget Nwanne Birabi. Today would have been your 70th. birthday, but your Maker called you home earlier than expected. You're greatly missed. Now your best griend and Chief bridesmaid, Aunty Bose Okunuga, chose to join you just yesterday. The one that was making your homecall a little bit easier to bear. . Now i have to contend with losing both of you. What a painful exit.
My solace and comfort is that both of yoi are resting in the bossom the Lord.
Rest on my darling sister, my Mummy, my mentor, and special cheer leader. I will forever love you, sisterm, ezigbo mmadu.

Post Humous Birthday to an Amazon and a Physiotherapy Legend. Continue to rest in eternal peace

Yes, 6 years yesterday you left us. 6 years of resting and beholding the face of the Lord. 6 years of not hearing your sweet voice and counsel, 6 years of not hearing you calling me, Amy.
I was at home on Easter Monday and I saw the emptiness of life. I fought back the tears just to make it easy on everyone. It is well.
I am comforted because I know we will meet again. Sleep on my darling sister, my Mummy my mentor. You're forever in our minds and I will forever love you Mum.

A true legend of physiotherapy profession both in practice and in looks. Ever so elegant. One of those that changed my opinion on the profession. Bold and courageous. A very cerebral lady. I always remember you at any gathering of physiotherapists. Keep on resting in the Bosom of the Lord. We miss you .

Sweet is the repose of a righteous, may the light perpetual shine on you

Thank you, for all you did for Physiotherapy as a profession. Continue to rest in peace, ma.

Dear Aunty Bridget,

It doesn't get any easier as time goes by. I miss you deeply

Happy posthumous birthday to my Mummy, my sister, my mentor. You're forever in my heart. I woke up today and I remembered that you would have been 69yrs today. Sleep on my sweet sister. I love you very much.

Happy Posthumous Birthday Mummy. Keep resting in the bosom of the almighty.

Thank you for all you stood for.

I miss you ma. Keep resting with the angels.

You can't be forgotten my darling, neither can this day be forgotten. My joy is that you're at peace in your eternal home, away from all the wickedness from the pit of hell, plaguing the earth.
Lest, i forget, they just handed over all the PT equipment in your clinic to me today. What a beautiful way to always remember you. To die is to live in the hearts of those you love and I am one of them. We miss you very much.
Sleep on Mum. 

Goon too Soon.

I miss you so much Aunty

I miss you Aunty Bridget.

Ma, you taught me so much that I will never forget you. Your legacies and memories will always remain fresh in my mind.

Sleep on beloved Dr. Bridget Birabi

Happy posthumous birthday sweet Mummy. Sleep on Ma. I love you forever.

My great mentor, if I have my way, i would write your name all over my dissertation. You encouraged me to embark in that journey and YES I made it. The exemplary life you lived continues to inspire me in many ways. Your name is written across my heart forever. True it's 4 years and I still miss you so much.

I cannot believe it is 4 years since you left us here for your permanent resident in heaven. Adeu, Dr. Birabi.

It's still difficult to process the fact that you are gone. Still dreamt of you yesterday. Our solace is in the fact that you are in a better place.

Thank God for the opportunity to be part of your family.

Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord

Ever Green!!!! Never Forgotten!!!

Your memory remains evergreen. A gracious lady, friendly and committed to God in words and deed. As a beneficiary of her immense kindness, she remains in my memory. I will always pray that God will continue to strengthen Sen. Birabi, Naaku and his siblings.

Dear Aunty Bridget,

I think of you
and very often too
There is still alot unsaid
and undone
May your gentle soul rest in His eternal Grace

Dr Birabi will forever live in our hearts as a leader who aspired and vigorously pursued greatness for Physiotherapy in Nigeria. May her gentle and kind soul continue to rest in peace.

Sister, may your sweet and kind soul continue to rest in peace on the Bossom of the Lord. The finest and the best there was. You are gone but you live on in our hearts. We love and miss you Mum

Continue Rest in the Lord. You are forever missed.

Fondly missed . I cherished the moments we had many years back. uncle and the boys , no men are handling things well

Nwanne, its been three years since you went to be with the Lord. But your memory lingers on. I miss you. You were my nwanne di na mba. We encouraged each other, more you than me. Till we meet in heaven.

Your memory lingers. You were an exemplary leader, i miss you.

Yesterday, you'd have been 66 years on earth. But I'm comforted because you're in the best place; like Apostle Paul said " to die is gain". But I must confess that I miss you very much but for the Holy Spirit who daily comforts us. Sleep on Mum, we will meet again. I love you very much.

The memory lingers on.
Her commitment to the things of the Lord and support of the Church were exemplary.
And all crowned by the gentle smile and mien.
May her soul continue to rest with the Lord.

Nwanne, it has been two years since you went to be with Jesus. I take solace in the fact that one day we shall meet in His presence to part no more. Continue to rest in the Lord.

Today marks the day of your birth in planet earth. You came and conquered. Heaven is happy with your legacies. Continue to rest in the bossom of yaweh. Indeed, forever missed.

Oh it's just like yesterday, when you grace this wicked and sinful world. when your hands touched the lives of people and granted them that wonderful smile on their face even with their pain ridden soul, when you look forward to a rest in eternity with your maker. Oh time had stood still this long for you. May you continue to rest in the bosom of your maker.

Dear Aunty Bridget
A lil note to remember you on this day
Not just because you are one I can forget
For there is still a lot I wish to say

We know you are in a heavenly space
Even though we would want you here still
But you are with all the goodwill and God's grace
And your strong presence we still feel

There is so much I need to tell you
Many of which we spoken of in between
In most of the things that I have gotten to do
Your conviction of where I should have been

I am stronger because of your faith
I am wiser because of your zeal
Moving forward to pursue the path of fate
With the good Lord's divine seal

Thank you so much for all you have been
I am glad you are a part of my life
To always make the grass feel green
Till we meet again in the afterlife

Rest on my role model and mentor. It's your 65th posthumous birthday today, would have been so nice to tell you am an auntie again today 15/01/2018 and many other things. I miss you so much, you were all in one; PH mom, boss, mentor, role model, adviser.... By the way thanks for that push i recently wrote my last paper in PG school.

Today would have been another birthday of yours.... you are always remembered fondly each passing day

Dear Dr. Biriba, you were an epitome of good character. You will be forever in my heart.

I have tried several months to reach her by phone and email but to no avail. I contacted the leadership of the Nigerian Society of Physiotherapy and inquired about her. Three days later, they replied and said "I am sorry to announce to you that she passed on to glory" what a world. This woman was very instrumental in my education. Dr. Birabi paid my tuition fee for a year at FUTO. Contributed to my flight ticket to go study abroad. Dr. Birabi was like a mother to me. The stories that brought us together is a very long one. RIP Mama.

As the beloved of God (Ayanfe Olodumare), I am assured that Dr Birabi is resting, free from all earthly sorrows. The memory of the just is sweet. She stood up for righteousness. It is well.
