TRIBUTE TO DORCAS - (Dr Wilson E. Balogun)
With a heavy heart and absolute reluctance, I write to say goodbye to my beloved sister in-law Dorcas, a beloved sister that I fondly called Dorky with joy and excitement.
My first meeting with you in Minna prior to becoming an in-law was charming, joyous, and refreshing in my memory. Meeting you reassured me of the brighter family bond that lies ahead as your personality was endearing, accommodating and infectious.
Your brilliance, eloquence, and succinct reading of the family letter of love during my traditional marriage was a testimony of your love for our union and respect for my wife. Your message was delivered with high intellectual acumen and audaciously presented with glamour to the amazement of our guests and families with thunderous ovation. You stole my heart and endeared me to get closer to my new family with all these attributes.
My last encounter with you on Saturday the 22nd of May 2021 in songs and prayer of which your voice was so audacious and angelic will never be forgotten. Lydia and I did not suspect this will be our last moments with you on earth. You are Gods Angel, beautiful in and out and truly served Him alone all through your journey in this world. Your love for Christ is demonstrated and showcased with pride throughout your journey here. Our loss is heavens gain. You will never be forgotten my dearest sister in-law.
You have consistently declared in all forums your love for Christ, and this had been evident in all your dealings with humanity – Quote from your social media – “My name is Dorcas Edward-Uroko and I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God” - Unquote. You obviously finished strong in Christ! You will remain a General in His vineyard till eternity.
My wife and I love you dearly, we will miss you more than words can ever express. My entire Balogun dynasty pay you special tribute on this day and you will forever be part of our family. You left us far too soon, but you will always be in our hearts and souls as we look forward to the time when we are together again in eternity.
To your husband, daughters, siblings and our dear mummy, I say take heart. Our trust in the Lord remains stronger more than ever before with an assurance of us knowing fully well that you will be resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ till we meet again. With flowing tears, good night my dear Dorky.
