Today, I mourn not the promotion of my beloved mother to glory, but to
celebrate a life well lived. My mother was a great woman, a pillar of strength,
Mummy was the truest, the dearest; she was indeed more than a mother to me
.she was the glue that bond our family together. She always directed us towards
the right path and was steadfast in providing us with sound advice on how we
could face the challenges of life. Early in life, she inculcated in us the values of
hard work, respect, deep sense of gratitude as well as how to harmoniously
coexist with others. She strongly believed that in order to succeed, hard work
was a quintessential element.
Today, we are gathered here to celebrate the life of a great woman, a mother, a
grandmother, an aunt, a sister, a mentor, a pillar of strength. God in His infinite
wisdom has seen it proper that she should take a rest.
Isn’t it amazing when we say, am tired, He says I will give you rest (matt 11:28-
30) we say: it’s impossible. He says: all things are possible (Luke 18:27) we say: I
can’t go on, He says: my grace is sufficient (2 COR 12:9). In that wavelength, we
wholly accept the will of God. We wholeheartedly thank God for the time He
allowed us to spend with our beloved mother; we offer thanksgiving for the
strength He gave her to see us through childhood, for the many wise teachings
and above all for the little joys of life.As we inter the remains of my mother to its
final resting place, I beseech my brothers and sisters to be strong willed, to
rejoice in the fact that GOD blessed us with such a great mother.
Adieu Dearest Mum.
