Happy Post Humous birthday Mummy Shomorin. Keep resting in peace. You are greatly missed. Risen Christ Mission International muss you too.

Today brings tears to my eyes when l remembered l was 10 years old and we had our 10th birthday together with yours. It was a memorable triple celebration. I pray that you continue to rest in peace. I missed your funny words like ke ke re the nick name you gave me. You will always be in my heart ❤️

Mum, today would have been your 80th birthday but God knows best. May you continue to rest in peace. Missed you.

TRIBUTE TO A MUM LIKE NO OTHER
GRANDMA, as I fondly called her. She was a mother to me and my entire family. She was an epitome of love, ‘disciplinarian and a lover of Christ to the core. She was a classical woman that won’t take ’NO’ for her dressing which makes me to love her more and the daily prayers that she was sending to me every month.
Mummy, I never imagine that on the 24th of December 2020 will be the last time we will see. I remember telling you to go and rest that I will call you later and you answered with affirmative, your death shocked me to the point that I felt empty  uptill this moment.
I pray we shall all meet again at the feet of Jesus on that GLORIOUS MORNING. Sleep on mum.

Night has come so soon. Sleep on in the bossom of your creator. ADIEU my so loved friend.

MODUPEOLA MORAFA
(London)

I met you on the platform of service, and the first time you saw me was like you have known me for ages, you advise me as a mother and friend. Humble to serve even the children you don't know from anywhere, Mummy Somorin you have spent your life just like job, you were a eye to the blind and anything you own is not too big to give out, you serve like a youth and this is the part of you that humbled me in AAF Foundation, you were sold out for the widows and their children. May everything you labour for turn to gain for you in paradise. We miss you mummy, we love you dearly mama. Good night

Mummy,

I think these words describe how you lived and the example you set:

Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man

- Luke 21:36

You watched. In the complete dedication of your time and resources to God's work. You moonlighted as a businesswoman but your real cause was clearly God's kingdom.

And you prayed. My most active WhatsApp link was yours. It was a rare day that you did not share a word of prayer and encouragement. There were prayers for a new day, a new month, difficult times, celebrations...there were prayers just because. Throughout, you never failed to inject your lavish sense of humor in all the seriousness of the day's topic.

As you rest in God's merciful presence, we are grateful for having you in our lives and for the legacy you left us all. Fond memories of you will remain forever in our hearts.

Oh, when the Savior shall make up His jewels,
When the bright crowns of rejoicing are won,
Then shall His weary and faithful disciples,
All be remembered by what they have done.

- Horatius Bonar

TRANSITION OF A GEM

Our dear Mummy Caroline Abiola Somorin. The news of your ascension to glory is still difficult to believe.

Everyone can still recollect exactly what you did the last time he/she met with you. You made him/her laugh with your cheers and dance steps.

You were such a warm, vibrant, energetic, down to earth, humorous, disciplined, principled but loving and caring Mother as well as an ardent follower of Christ!

Your dedication to the course of the Glorious Women and the examplary life you led despite the fact that you were far older than most of us.

Hmmmnnn! We are already missing your daily posts on The Glorious Women Group Platform.

We were seriously looking forward to celebrating your 80th birthday which we know will be "grand"!

Alas! The One Who loves you most CHOSE to take you to Himself... We CANNOT question Him because He knows best.‍♀️

We will miss your unique and anointed dance steps. Also will, your smiles and vibrating laughters. Most importantly your remark ... "LOOTO!?

Sleep on sweet Mom in the bossom of your Saviour till we meet to part no more on the resurrection morning.

Good night glorious woman!!!

COURTESY: THE GLORIOUS WOMEN INTERNATIONAL

Celebrating your impact on both young and old that came across you.

Mama Somorin, what an amazingly beautiful woman, with a heart of gold. Always greet her as 'Your royal majesty' to which she always replies, Taiwo, iwo nikan lo ma nki mi daadaa. You have fought the fight and won, and obtained your crown. Rest in the bosom of your God whom you served till He called you home. Adieu. Mummy. She will surely be missed by the Ushering Group. Love you.

Tribute to OUR MUMMY
A MOTHER TO MANY
Mummy Elder Carol Abiola Somorin was a mother to many. She was fondly referred to as Mama Winner Orelope by some people because of her faith and authentic membership of the church. Mummy you were a mother to me, my wife and grandmother to our children. You took this role as we met in the Winners Satellite Fellowship about 22 years ago. You were a compassionate person that expresses the love of God to the church brethren. You related freely with us as Winners Satellite Fellowship Members not minding the disparity in ages. You were always excited seeing us your children growing physically and also in faith. You were always concerned with everybody’s challenge and at most times tried your best to go extra miles in providing solutions to the issues. You were a Winner indeed and a church woman to a fault that believes in the liberation commission which made you to always present yourself in Sunday and midweek services and other church programmes even when it may look not convenient for you. I never knew you will leave us so soon, since you never once behaved so. I didn’t fantom it the last time we met which was January 2020. As we discussed on WhatsApp few months ago, I never knew you will be leaving soon. You were full of life exhibiting your ever focus attributes. However, we thank God for your life and your exemplary and immense contribution to the church and society. 
Good night mummy.

*TRIBUTE TO MRS CAROLINE SOMORIN*

Mrs Somorin was one of the most snr secretaries that transited the oil landscape, from Esso to Unipetrol Nig Ltd in 1976. She was, as a result of her sterling qualities mandated to take over from Late Mrs Fuby Gillis- Harry, the then secretary to Mr Bathie, the GM Esso Standard Nig Ltd when the company metamorphosed to Unipetrol Nigeria Ltd in 1976, thus becoming the 1st Secretary to serve the 1st indigenous GM Mr B A Aina(late) as GM/CEO of Unipetrol in 1976. She also worked as a secretary to Late Mr Alfred Olaseni Olatokun who took over from Mr Aina in 1979, until she was redeployed to head the Property section in Admin Dept in 1980. It is on record that Mrs Somorin was the only secretary that served two Chief Executives of the Oil giant. She was mostly referred to as 'the mother of all secretaries.'
She would be remembered as a hard working, transparently honest and jovial personality whose jokes with the staff, at any opportuned time endeared her to all. It was these attributes that she also displayed towards the twilight of her days when she would call members on our Unipetrol/Oando ex staff watshap group forum to enquire about their welfare. She never missed sending warm birthday wishes to celebrants on the forum, following up with personal calls. She was outstanding in character amongst her peers. She would sorely be missed by the generality of ex staff of Unipetrol.
May God forgive her sins and grant the family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Rest her soul in perfect peace O'Lord. Amen!

Prince Adewunmi Olusegun Aderibigbe
For: ex-snr staff of Unipetrol/Oando

Iye mi ooo( as I fondly called you),

I am yet to come to terms with your passing- you passed away like a dream!
I met and connected with you over 20 years ago as an Usher in Winners Chapel at Raji Oba.
Iye mi o- a disciplined woman, a fashionista and lover of Christ. Who could match your dance steps when praising God?
There is no doubt in my mind that you lived a great life as a born again Christian.
I was expecting your call as usual on 26th of December as was the tradition every year after dropping 'venison' for you on Christmas day- but alas I got the shock of my life!
Memories of you continue to linger in my heart. I am confident of the fact that we will meet again on that glorious morning at the feet of the Lord.

Good night Iye mi o
Your daughter in the Lord

Dcns Ranti Adewoyin

My Lovely Aunty,
We remember your Life, Wisdom, Warmth, Kindness, Simplicity, and Affection
Your Memory will forever linger in our Hearts.
Though many years ago, I cherish the weekend you spent with me and my family
You are so special and can never be forgotten
Rest in peace

Dear mummy somorin,
The news of your departure came to us suddenly! It is hard to believe that you are no longer with us. You were a devoted member of Faith Tabernacle Ushering Unit . Your heart towards the things of God is worthy of emulation. You will be greatly missed . Good night mummy!
Head usher

MummyShomorin you will be greatly missed. You were a mover and shaker in the family. You were one of my link to join Trade Bank Plc. then in Nigeria. You were kind and humble. A Godly woman.
Glory be to God that gave you a blessed colourful life.
Rest in perfect peace MummyShomorin in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
May the Lord preserve all that you left behind IJMN.
Iya Ayo Adebiyi.

It still pains my heart to know are gone and left us. It is still unbelievable for me because I did not see this coming and it did look like death was close. Little did I know that seeing you in September would be my last as I still look forward to seeing you.
Oh! How I wish you just hung on for your 80th birthday, so we could see in grand style those wonderful dancing steps of yours. Mama we will miss you greatly, your love for children will be missed.The Risen Christ Gospel Mission International as a whole would miss you.
You were a great grandma, so loving ,yet firm. Very supportive, a giver and lover of God. I know God understands why He called you home to rest.
Sleep on Mummy ! Till we meet to part no more.
We love you but God loves you more!

My heart still bleeds at your demise my dear friend and sister. Our conversation on Christmas Day gave me the assurance that you had hope for living. You gave me no idea that it was the last time I would talk to you. I called very early on Saturday to check on you, little did I know that you had departed the earth to a glorious and beautiful place.
  Mama Niyi was a lover of God. She was sold out to serving God. She was very humble and generous. She loved every child she came across like hers. She would not come to my house empty handed especially during the annual Christmas Party. She had already sent the goodies to be distributed to children on Christmas Day by 23rd December. She was very humorous, there was never a dull moment with her.
   My dancing partner is gone!! We would challenge each other to dance steps in praises to our Lord whenever we had the opportunity.
  My only consolation is that you have gone to be with the Lord and that according to Rev. 14:13 “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow them.
  
  I pray for the comfort of the Holy Spirit for everyone of us.
  Adieu, Ore mi. Rest on, in the Lord.
  
 Elder(Mrs) Dolapo Sokefun.

Continue Resting in Peace Aunty

Mrs O. Abimbola Oduwole (mama ibeji)

Dear Carol, I am yet to recover from the shock of your sudden departure. Myself and Lanre were arranging for the Cardiologist at Crystal Hospital where you were supposed to see the Cardiologist at 9 am that fateful morning.
But you departed at 6 am.

Lanre was supposed to phone me at 10am to inform me of the treatment at the new hospital but .... he called to say, "Daddy, I have bad news. Mummy has given up, she departed at 6 am!"
I was crying like a baby and have still not recovered from the shock.

But, in all of these, I thank God for everything we had achieved together from 1963 to 1972.
We were blessed with two lovely children and I thank God for everything and all their achievements today.

I thank God for your role in the house of the Lord at Winners and for everything you did to uphold the glory of God.

You were a wonderful woman, a dutiful wife and a caring mother.
Myself and our children, Niyi and Lanre shall miss you greatly.

God will look after both Lanre and Niyi and they will continue to excel in their respective careers in the name of Jesus.

I commit your funeral to the hands of God and I know it will be a glorious transition.

As for me, I pray that God will strengthen me to be there on that day.

You helped me to qualify as a Chartered Accountant and I thank God we both came back qualified from UK in 1970.
You were very supportive in our marriage and we trained the children together to be our pride today.

Thank you for all you did for me and for the children.
I will always remember you.

I continue to break down.... but I know God will strengthen me to overcome these trying times.

We shall meet at His gate in Heaven.

Sun re ooo, Carol.
Rest in perfect peace

Revd. Ademola Somorin (FCA, JP)

When Segun Oduwole phoned to inform me about the demise of my aunty ,Mrs Somorin, I was dazed and worried,burning with curiosity I begin to ask him many questions he could not provide answers.
I will really miss her and miss her delightful jokes.
My wife and I will forever be grateful for supportive and prominent role she played during our house warming ceremony and wedding ceremony of our children.
She was a devoted Christian and despite her age she ensures that she attend winners chapel at ota and always remind me to reserve a room for her in my house during Shiloh.
 I pray that the lord will forgive her sins and grant her eternal rest.

     Mr&Mrs Taiwo

Tribute to a Great Friend

I received the news of Carol’s death with great sadness. Words cannot express my sorrow and grief at this time, but I can take comfort and solace in the knowledge that God knows the best.

You were a great person of admirable qualities. Your presence was like a light in the midst of darkness. There was never a dull moment with you, especially with your jokes and laughter. How can I forget the gusts and jokes we shared together? You were the most reliable, kind, and caring friend. You had a shoulder for everyone to lean on, I will miss you beyond measure.

You have been a Sister, Friend, and Confident since 1959.

Memories fade over time my friend, my sister is not a memory, but she is a part of me, but God loves you more.

Rest in Perfect Peace Carol Abiola Somorin.

I met Mummy Somorin at WSF (WINNERS SATELLITE FELLOWSHIP) in 1999. Then, I always recognize her for her dancing steps during our Praise & Worship sessions.  Between 2000 - 2010 I was privileged to serve as WSF Secretary, Asst. Minister, Minister and Asst. Zonal Minister in her house.
As a location Provider she will adequately arrange the center and prepare for fellowship.
Traveling abroad to see her Children she will make the WSF CENTER/ZONE easily assessible for every Fellowship.
She became a mother to me and prayed earnestly for me to get married, then she became a grandmother to my children and refers to my wife as "my daughter, the only girl in the midst of boys". I relocated to Obadore in 2014 and she was present at the naming of my first son.
At her 70th Birthday I was privileged to do a little write up about her and I will always remember that Mummy Somorin was full of energy, very disciplined, highly enterprising and amidst her smiles is a very tough no nonsense loving and caring grandmother.
She called me before Shiloh 2020 and I went to see her. She was not sick, we talked about WSF & SHILOH 2020, the new house she was building and we prayed together. Mummy Somorin, Rest on in Bosom of The Lord Jesus Christ. Henry Egwuda

Big Mummy, thank you for all that you did for me, thank you for all your teachings, thank you for all your support growing up. I am most grateful. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord. Adieu

I celebrate your life and thank God Almighty who had endowed you with good life by His grace. This is not a time to mourn but to be grateful for His goodness which I believe you enjoyed.

I find it extremely hard to say goodbye to my beloved, lovely and genuine friend. No one and nothing else can fill the hole created. I would have loved to be in Nigeria to celebrate your life because you worth it without any shadow of doubt. Regrettably Covid-19 and the law in the UK prevent me.

I do not envisage that I would never see you again having you stayed with me before Coronavirus when you visited England which you normally did. In earnest, I will never find another loyal, genuine, reliable, honest and trustworthy friend like you again. You would be missed till I join you hopefully in heaven.

My Sisi friend, you gave me some freedom to call you any different names as they come to with pleasure given our solid relationship. You would be giggling and smiling saying, “Oga lomo na.” You were never boring when we were together because you had a ‘dry’ sense of humour coupled with our genuine love and care for each other having fun, sharing our tears and joy together for more than four decades. We became a close family which our children acknowledged and respected. Despite you living in Nigeria, the distance between us had never been a barrier. Most importantly, we had the opportunity in sharing our spiritual lives praising God for who He is was and ever be for His mercy and favour upon us and our families.

Sisi, other people would agree with me that you had a tremendous passion in helping and supporting people with whom you came across in the community known or unknown. You were always ready and happy to be there for people if needed. Sis Carol you are irreplaceable and will be missed and remembered because of the legacy you left behind.

One thing I am certain about is that you remain in the bosom of Almighty God. And as usual ‘keep dancing’ in heaven my Love because you are not dead but asleep. May your soul rest in perfect peace.

1 Corinthians 15 : 55 - 57 – “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?............ But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

My pretty MUMMY CAROL ABIOLA SOMORIN. Your sudden departure was a great surprise to me. Your generousity and love for those around you was immeasurable. All through my stay with you, (close to a decade) you showed me love, taught me so many things that is beneficial to me today. 

27th December is a day I always pay you visit before I heard the news on Saturday. But who are we to question God?. Mummy, I love you so dearly, but God loves you most. I will forever miss you.

Continue to rest in the bossom of the Almighty God. Till we meet to part no more.

With love from your daughter
Mrs. Joke Olufade

Mummy Sure, l thank God for the fulfilled life you have lived. You played a significant role in my life growing up. I remembered celebrating our 10th birthday with you. Rest in peace mummy.

From your friend Mrs Betty Igbonoba:

Carol or "CORONOI" as i always call you and you will reply "Lady B the giver". Or sometimes "Molly" as my grandson always call you and you will reply " i am not Molly i am aunty Carol" lol. Am still in shock but God knows best. We cannot query the Lord. ADIEU my friend. I am glad you spent some weeks with me during your visit to the UK last year and you would have visited this year but for the pandemic. I will hold on to the memories we had. May you rest in the bosom of the Lord. Thank you for being a great friend.

Thanking God for your life dear Aunty Carol. Your sense of humour was like no other, always full of life.
Rest in His love ❤️

Big mummy, May her soul rest in peace. We will forever miss you.

Words can't say it all,how much am going to miss you. I cherish the beautiful memories and time I shared with you as an aunty and a friend.
You made me understand that in this life it's good to be at peace with other and to live a faithful life with your God to build one's heavily home. You left without saying good night. When I stop receiving your daily prayers I kept calling but no answer not knowing that you are already on journey to the heavenly home, your death is shocking I was looking forward to celebrate your birthday in 2021.
May your soul rest in peace.

Sisi Carol (as I fondly called you ) was my sweet sister in law and a humble highly respectable woman . Your sudden departure was shocking because you were full of life and very active. We cannot blame God. You lived a life worthy of emulation, you raised wonderful children, you torched many lives and above all, YOU KNEW CHRIST . You will forever be Remembered. May your dear soul Rest In Peace .             Lady Bosede Tokoya (Nee Somorin)

Rest in peace aunty Carol. Your passing was so unexpected but God knows best. Who would have imagined that seeing you last year at my mum's would be the last time i see you in person. Nevertheless i will hold on to the memories and the lovely prayers you showered on my children. My last memory of you was your dancing at a party we all attended last year with my mum lol. We cannot question God. Heaven has gained an angel indeed. Rip aunty and may God give your family the strength to carry on your legacy. God bless

Dearest Aunty Carol. What can I say but a big thank you for your kindness and company. After such a long time we had the opportunity of seeing you and spending time with you last year summer when you came to spend some time with my mum. We thoroughly enjoyed all the time we spent together at my mum's and made plans for your next trip how you will spend even if it is a day or two at my place or one of my sisters place alas! We did not know that it would be last time that we will see you.. I am still in shock. God knows best and heaven has definitely gained an angel.
May your gentle, beautiful soul rest in perfect peace. .
Your legacy and memories will continue to live on and we will miss you. Amen.
Take heart Lanre and Niyi. The Lord continues to be your strength..

Mama Niyi as we all fondly called you. It's hard to refer to you in the past. But I know you are in a better place now. Free from sickness, pain, and Nigeria's wahala. We will miss you dearly. Cousins Niyi And Lanre, please be strong. Take heart. She did a good job raising you and keeping family ties. She loved my Parents and they loved her dearly. We will never forget you. Sleep peacefully, Beautiful Soul.
Toyin Somorin

I have lost a mom, again. Big Mummy was my second mom and played a large role in cultivating the woman I am today. For that I will be always be grateful. She took great care of my sister and I, just like her kids. She always put a smile on my face. She would tell my oldest cousins to let me be when I was too tired to eat dinner. She is a comedian, the best dancer at the party, wise, and a strong independent woman. I looked up to her and will keep those values she instilled in me. She always had my back, and I know she is still watching over me. I will hold on to those memories. There are a lot of things I wished I could tell her. She was gone too soon. I’m so lucky to have had her in my life, and I’ll be forever grateful for her.

Rest in peace Big Mummy....You were an epitome of grace and beauty.Truly heaven has gained an angel.

I am deeply saddened by the news. Didn’t get a chance to see Auntie much but will always remember her energy and upbeat positive attitude. Beautiful woman both inside and outside. Would give you a worm hug when you needed one or just because and also let you know some truths when warranted! Niyi and Lanre, I know from experience this one will sting, but through the power of prayer and strong faith, the sting will be bearable. I will remember Auntie in the fondest of ways. RIP Sweet Gentle Lady.❤️❤️
