2 years gone just like that! I remember that day like it was yesterday.I thank God everyday for how glorious it was.
That morning we prayed together, read the Word, sang hymns of praise and afterwards you had a huge breakfast of cereal, bread, eggs and tea! I then sat down with you for hours talking about everything from your childhood to your father, my granddad, to just about everything you could remember going down memory lane.
We laughed together and you reminded me of who I was and what stock I came from and how I should always hold my head high irrespective of whatever situation I find myself.
I was confident you were pulling through and you then encouraged me to go and have a bath, I did not want to leave you so I stubbornly ignored your plea and remained but you kept insisting that my hot water will get cold as it had been prepared for me already I asked if you wanted to rest to which you responded to in the affirmative and only then did I leave .
Little did I know that will be our last conversation on this earth. I thank God that you passed in peace, no suffering, no pain and absolutely no strive, your last words were Jesus as you called upon Him till your last breath.... Dad misses you terribly but God Has been faithful and kept him strong. There is absolutely know day that passes that he does not mention you and talk about how wonderful a wife you were.
Thank you for being the God fearing Mother you are and raising me the way you did, thank you for that wonderful sense of humour, your ability to bring peace in the midst of a brewing storm, your love for children, your kindness, your beauty , your grace, your compassion and respect for others and that divine wisdom that you always displayed even at the most challenging of situations.
Continue to rest in the perfect peace of the Almighty. I love and miss you very much Mom.

My Beautiful Mummy, miss you so so much but I am ever so grateful for the years the Lord gave you to us. You lived for your God, husband and children with a gentleness and endearing faith that always made you a winner in my eyes. You were always so calm and never let anything faze you. If I could be half the man for my family that you were to us I would have done quite well. I am always consoled by the fact you left this world so gloriously!! Continue to Rest in Peace!

Mummy it's been a year - since your departure to eternal glory. You are still dearly missed and your absence is strongly felt - each time I am in Lagos and I visit the house I still cannot believe you are no longer here. We had a the 1st year memorial service, friends and family turned up to celebrate your memory, pray for the family and we then distributed food to the residents just like you would do every Christmas.
Last Christmas you were missed - people (both those at the lower, middle and upper social status) all talk about your love, permanent smile, how you were a peaceful, generous and God fearing woman, a loyal wife, a woman of integrity and so much more that makes me so proud to be called your son.
Today - apart from reflecting on your life at the vault your body was laid to rest in I also I sat in your room on your bed, went through the drawers in your dressing table and opened up your wardrobe just to touch your clothes and jewellery. Your wellwoman 70 plus medicine which you dated 06 July 2017 (exactly a month before your passing still sits on your dressing table).
Mama you are always on my mind - ❤️ you in my heart forever.

My dearest Mummy, it pains me to know that I will not hug you or laugh with you on this earth again. I will miss you, I will miss you calling me "Tere Tere", our telephone conversations were always happy and made us feel close by. We didn't spend enough time together and that is what hurts me the most however "we walk this earth but a brief moment in time" and I surely know you are with Jesus and patiently waiting for us to return home! Thank you for being You! Always caring, always wise, so loving with the children. You have been a great example of a wife and a mother to me and I will forever treasure you in my heart. I love you mummy, may your saul continue to rest in perfect peace.

It was a big shock when the news of your demise was broken to me .I still cannot comprehend for real. We visited you barely two weeks earlier you were strong enough to call my husband as fondly call him Akintola Omo Baba Sokoti little did we know that will be our parting gesture from you. I will miss your kindness, sweet words and caring for others.
Who can query the unquestionable God No One Can. He knows the ending of a journey from the beginning.
May your gentle soul continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty God.

Oh our dear mummy. It was a Glorious blessing to me talking to you a few months ago for the 1st time after so many years. What a joy it was to hear that warm familiar voice from my childhood. Now I realize why I was overcome with so much emotion while talking to you. It was simply a gift from God to hear your Glorious, loving and kind words one more time. You SHOWED us young ones that being a Virtuous Woman was not a thing of the past. You will greatly be missed mum. Your kite shall forever continue to fly. I know you are resting peacefully in the bossom of the Lord. Rest well Ma. You will forever remain in our Hearts

I am truly saddened to hear about the sudden demise of your beloved mum. She was a lady of wisdom. Her thoughts and presence would forever live deep inside our hearts. I remember when I use to come to the house to see Nike, she would always welcome me warmly and always ask of my parents. Please know that we are always there with you for any kind of help that you may need. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

Mummy, Grandma Sleep Well in the Arms of Christ Jesus. You ran your race. You finished well. A couple of weeks ago when Tunde was around with mum, I called to say a word of prayer and mum was on the phone in faith saying Loud Amens. Woman of Faith Rest. All is Well. Daddy and the Family please accept our condolences. It is Well. God is with you.

I am honored to say a few words about my Aunt. She was a cheerful, fun-loving lady who was full of life. Her smile could light up a room and it was infectious. She made everyone around her happy. Whether it was her positive attitude, or her big smile, she was a delight to be around. I will miss my aunt’s smile and positive attitude. She was an incredible sister, mother, wife and aunt. She will be missed by a lot of people here today. I wish you peace and will always love you.

I am at a loss as to what to say. The brief period I got to know Mummy, I knew her to be pleasant and beautiful at heart. I see a reflection of her in her sons, very humble personalities and great in every way. I know she's sleeping right at the bossom of our Lord. You are missed Mummy!

Mummy will be greatly missed, not only by immediate family members, but by everyone that had the privilege of meeting her and experiencing her love, warmth, wisdom, kindness etc. My consolation though is that mummy lived a fulfilled life, and she has gone to rest peacefully with our Lord. He will grant all of us the fortitude to go through this period. Amen.

You were like a mother to me. I call you my second mummy. You called me regularly, always checking on me and children. You called on my birthdays, when you missed it this year, I knew something was wrong, though you called days after, that you were ill. I will surely miss your show of love, prayers and calls. Am in tears. Say me well to your September friend, my mummy . Really missing two of you right now. Love you loads but God loves you two more. Rest In the Bossom of the Lord.

Ayo game!!!
July 27, 2017
On one of our visits to Nigeria mummy thought me how to play "Ayo game"......of course she always won!!! She was watching me here trying to win with daddy and even there I didn't get a chance!
Getting to meet mummy
July 9, 2017
It was back in the days when l was chasing Sheri.Then she was my girl friend and was staying with mummy.Sherifat is the daughter of mummy's sister- Mummy Ore.It was mummy that brought her up.
Most times l would like to see her then,the appointment will fail.l wonder and l found out from her friends that she stayed with a strict and no-no sense mother.Later l got to know that mummy is not her real mother-that she is just staying with them.
Then one day l got curious and took a bold step to knock on the gate.Though Sheri had warned me not to dare coming to her house.Despite the warning, on that particular day l was at the gate knocking,then l heard mummy asking who was at the gate.When she came to the gate and saw me.She asked who am l looking for and l replied that it was Sheri.She got furious and chased me away and warned me not to come here again. I was afraid and sad.I left and had to blame myself because l had been warned.
Also ,then l also learnt that Mummy would not even allow Sheri to mingle with some of her friends in school and on their street. According to Sheri,these girls her friends are not allow to visit her not to talk of visiting them.
Later,l come to come to realise that Mummy had done all these for her protection against the pressure of peer groups.
After a while,when l was getting serious, l was finally invited to come and introduce myself. I came to the house with one of my friends-Chris Agboide.We were well received by Mummy and Daddy.This is just to satisfy Sheri.We were hosted and well attended to.Then l was now happy.
In hospitality, you can not match Mummy. Whenever l visit her l would eat more that what my belly can take.Mummy would still come around asking if you still need some more.And really she will offer whatever you want to eat unless the food is not available at home.Oh mummy is caring and loving.
I remember she always bring out her photo albums for me to see.She has a snark for keeping photos of years back.She would show me and telling me the events that took place at that time,also mentioning names of people inside the pictures.
Mummy is very neat and l noticed this the first day l stepped in the house.Mummy once had a small poultry at the back of the house.She is simple ,contented and lived a peaceful life.She did not sacrifice her marriage for anything.Her husband and her children are uppermost in her mind.
Mummy is Daddy's best friend.They are always together ever since l got to know them.
I can go on and on and on.Mummy l have come to have known you.You have been a great model of emulation. If all mum can be like you,we will a all have a loving home and a great nation.
ADIEU MUMMY! GREAT MOTHER!
