Oh, sooo sad to hear! I remember the first time I knew you and you wanted to attend the OFNC Conference as a non-member.I remember your drive and determination to be allowed to attend. You demonstrated in that conference that there was a fire in you, young as you were! And as teenager, you grew and blossomed over the subsequent youth events. I was always proud of you and I imagined a very bright future for you. Through you, your whole family became very involved in OFNC to date. What a legacy! I am saddened that my imagination will not be realised on earth. However, the life you lived for Christ here continues to shine as His light wraps around you for ever! You've gone to a better place, where sorrows never come and there's no pain. Rest in peace, till we will all meet again! Goodnight! May the Lord grant your parents the strength and peace to cope. Amen.

DOYIN-
It's kinda like lights out
When it's not night time
Sounds ridiculous to say goodnight
We just got ready for the day
Our day just begun
Or so we thought
Then we got a call
To say one of us was gone
It sounded absurd
This can't be real
Feels like a really bad dream
On your Facebook we all see and read

R.I.P

Some of us saw you grow into a beautiful strong woman
Memories of you
Your style, your smile, still so alive in our hearts
Though through God's word we know your lights not gone out
You're shinning on
On a higher plane
A better place
I won't start any religious cliche or facade
We trust that in His arms you returned

I can't lie, this really hurts
We feel the loss
We'll pray for your family to be strong and somehow carry on

Some of us wish we kept in touch
Our excuse is life moves so quick
But this definitely got us to pause and think
DOYIN I can't believe you're gone for real

Rest In Peace Little Sis

Oyedoyin,

I love you and I am going to miss you so much! It still does not make sense to me but I know God is in control.
You were an amazing individual; an amazing friend. You lived life to the FULLEST!
I thank God for your life and all that you accomplished and all the lives you touched. I am grateful for the memories we shared. Thank you for being an amazing, supportive friend since we were 12!!
Literally I can't start to imagine how different things are going to be, but I know God will see us through.
I'm going to miss you so much -- I'm going to miss you making me laugh constantly, disturbing me constantly on whatsapp, discussing details and plans for the future! We had so much planned Doyin!!

Doyin, I thank God for your life & I celebrate the life you lived!

John 11: 25-26 - Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.”

Psalms 136:26 - Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.


I LOVE YOU DOYIN SARAH FAGBENRO.

Doyin - Madam D! The loveliest and kindest of hearts taken way too soon but we are thankful that you are safe with Him.

Utterly and completely unbelievable that you are no longer with us. You literally would light up rooms with your smile and your joyous character. And it is this I will miss the most. How you knew how to cheer me up or drag me out of my house to live life a little more, a little fuller, with more joy.

I promise I won't make a mess of my wedding! You always said you didn't trust me to plan it and said I'd better get you to do it! I'm going to miss your passion for excellence in every little thing that you did and your determination to bring that same excellence out in those around you. .

So now rest, in Him.

Rest in peace, angel.

Love, love and love xxx

Beautiful Doyin..

I remember the last time we spoke, I told you what a beautiful young woman you have grown in to. I meant every word! You aimed to succeed in life, and that is exactly what you did.
It was an honour to have known you.. although distance grew us apart, I never forgot our friendship in our younger days.
You will be missed...

Rest In Peace Darling..

All my love x

Doydoy

You were my first friend in Bedford, I remember when you were leaving Dame Alice for BHS and I was like "uh oh, here comes trouble" haha! And OFNC! Such a popular little Madame. I remember stupid things we thought were so important back then. I remember how Sarah could never tell the difference between Dayo and Dolapo! I remember our plans to do work experience in Italy with your dad. I remember bussing it to Rushden after school on a Friday because your mum wanted to make sure I was ok as a boarder. I remember seeing you briefly on a night out in London recently. I remember so much but I wish I could remember more. We grew up and grew apart, ambition took us down different routes. You know I always have so much to say but this doesn't make sense to me so I won't accept you're gone because to me you're just in Lagos having fun so let's keep it that way. Turn Up Queen!

My beautiful DSF,

You were the kindest, most wonderful, sweetest, best friend to me. All the love and support you have shown to me over the years.. You were the true definition of a 'ride or die'. We have been through it my sister.. laughed and cried.. you have been my backbone many times and I only hope I was 1/4 a friend to you as you were to me.

I am just grateful for all the memories. I will never be able to eat rice and stew again without thinking about you. Breakfast, rice and stew. Lunch, rice and stew.. DINNER, rice and stew!

We've spent two beautiful Christmases together.. you've become a fixture in my family over the years. Everyone loves you so much, you always left an impact with everyone you came across.

From QMUL days to now, I really thought we'd do life together... our weddings.. babies. Chai. Last time I saw you was on the 31st, the day I left Lagos.. you followed me to the airport and we had a conversation about expectations. You were so full of life and so excited about all the things you planned to achieve this year.

If I knew what I know now.. the last time I saw you, I would have hugged you, kissed you all over ya face like I always did and told you how honored I am to be your friend, how much I love and appreciate you.

To know you was to love you. Sleep well my darling sister

Lady D, as we fondly call you in my home, you were such a delight to be with, very humble and ever smiling. This has come to us as a very rude shock but who are we to question God. We draw strength and comfort from the fact that we will meet again on that glorious morn. Sleep on beloved.

Miss Doyin Fagbenro....

It breaks my heart to know you're gone but I know you're in your Fathers arms now. Still can't believe the news......

I remember your wide, beautiful and welcoming smile. Your eagerness and willingness to serve was inspiring. You showed care and attention to all around you......it's so painful to know that you're gone. You loved God with a passion that was clear for all to see....I still remember your husky-yet-sweet voice, so unforgettable :-)

To the Fagbenros....
I lift you up unto the Lord
In this time of grief,
I pray the Lord will be to you
The comfort that you need
And when you have no answers
To all the questions 'why',
Know that God is in control
And is there by your side
He understands the way you feel
And knows the loss you face,
So rest in His eternal love,
For there, you'll find His grace


Until we meet again Doyin....rest in peace, beautiful sis xx

Our beloved lady Doyin

My beautiful Doyin, I can't believe u re gone so very soon. U re a young lady with a good heart. I remembered d first time mummy called me,u were coming to service that I should take u like my sister and u really took me like one. I remembered every bit of ur services year, ur beautiful smiles and good taught for other corps members. U ll forever live in my heart. Rest on my beautiful darling Doyin Adebimpe.

Beloved Doyin...gone but NEVER forgotten...your smile will remain in our hearts & minds and your legacy will indeed live on...
We love you and will truly miss you but we are comforted in the knowledge that you are in His heavenly rest forevermore xxx

My dear friend,

I thank God for blessing me with your friendship.

I am truly sad that I can't pick up the phone and hear your voice ever again. It hurts, but replays of your voice and flashes of your smile remain indelible on my mind.

In our last conversation, you told me that trusting God more was one of your resolutions for the new year 2016, so when I heard about the accident, I decided that I would trust God with and for you.

I never thought you would leave us so early; but God has called you, his angel, back home.

Rest in peace, my dear friend. May God bless and comfort your family and us your friends.

I love you, forever.

Still trusting God..

God grant her family and loved ones the strength to handle this loss cos it's not easy! Oh death!!!!!!! RIP beautiful woman.....earth has lost one human but I'm sure heaven has gained an angel. You are so beautiful outside...certain heaven is happy to receive you.

Doyin! A woman of beauty style and grace. It's devasting to know you have gone but you will forever remain with us. I pray God will comfort your family in this time.
Rest in Peace xx

Doyin Fine Girl Sarah,

Warm, kind, caring, opinionated, funny, smart, social, beautiful Doyin.
I decided we'd be friends long before we met.
It hurts to write the things I could have said.
There was no reason not to.
I had no idea the last message I sent would go unread.
I hope you know how much we loved you.

Thankful for your life, and honoured to have been a part of it x

Oyedoyin!!

Hope you still remember me, Doyin.

Sat next to you on the coach on the way to Woburn safari park and you let me taste some of this awesome rice you had haha. You were one of the few that were happy to play football with Ellie Wong too. Wasn't easy getting a team together in that school. You were always really determined to do well in everything that you did. But you loved a good laugh too. I remember our chemistry lessons like they were yesterday. We didn't really speak since school but wow, you've achieved so many incredible things. I wish we had stayed in touch. You're an inspiration. Rest in peace.

Love Sammo xx

Doyin,
It saddens me to hear your gone and I still can't believe it. Only God knows why. You will be greatly missed and I know you're in a better place now RIP BEAUTIFUL <3 xoxo

I am utterly devastated and sorry. I'm trying to be strong because with my experience in life, I know this could have been anybody. I am a father to Doyins friends and I feel like I lost a daughter though I didn't really know her. Ever since I heard of what happened to her, even now there's a lump in my throat. I do hope that she's found great peace from this cruel, wicked, evil world we all cling to so much; like there's no better place. I hope Doyin is in that better place, so beautiful that dreams would sometimes give us a glimpse into. May God Comfort all loved ones; especially those directly affected, in Jesus' Name. Sleep well darling; till we meet to part no more at Jesus' feet! Much love!

So shocked and saddened by the news of your passing Doyin. I remember you at Dame Alice and have seen the great things you went on to achieve. This tragedy has made me realise how precious life is and how we mustn't let anything stop us from achieving anything we want out of life. You are an inspiration. Rest in Peace Doyin xXx p.s hope us DAHS girls do you proud x

I don't know you, but I have just been staring at your pics...I have been in shock since yesterday I saw your post...I can just imagine how your parents & siblings are feeling right now...I just have goose bumps all over. All I see, is such a humble, pretty, young and aspiring lady. I just have one word to say to your family...Be strong and one thing for sure she is resting in the bosom and hands of the Lord. No more loss in your family ever in the name of Jesus. I speak peace in your home now and forever. Love you & God bless you all !!!

Doyin, I knew you for such a short time but long enough to know you were a fiery personality! You were so ambitious and you kept in touch well after we left SEO London. I feel so sad for your family and the fact that your life was cut short, I've cried so much today I just can't believe you have gone. I've learnt from you to live life to the maximum every day no matter what. I hope your family can find comfort in time. All my love

Doyin -

So shocked and saddened to hear of the terrible news. You were taken far too soon. Your heart of gold and mega-watt smile will be missed. My thoughts go out to all your family and friends. Rest in peace lovely xxx

I am just here listening to this music, speechless and shocked that I am actually writing this message because it still doesn't feel real that you're gone. For me, you're still alive in my heart and memories of you will never depart from me. I know you're in a beautiful place in the Hands of the Father, and I pray God brings comfort to your family and those closely affected. I'm glad I got to know you, someone that really understood how to show love to so many regardless of what you were going through. Sleep well, my sister. Till we meet again...Love always...

Even though I do not know you, going through your profile just makes wish this candle light will bring you back from wherever you are hiding. It is really saddening that a young and beautiful lady like you, so full of life departs at this time when Nigeria needs people with your kind of heart and intelligence to rebuild the ruins of this nation. Rest in peace dear, live forever in the heavenlies with your maker.

Dearest Doyin, I met you for the first time in December 2014 at Oyinkansola's, we didn't get to talk much but thankfully we met again in December 2015 and we jut hit it off. We had a one on one chat at dinner where you talked about your future plans and your NYSC year. We continued our conversation again on Christmas Day. I fell in love with the woman you were during this period. A woman with big dreams who was extremely bright, focused and dedicated. I was truly looking forward to a beautiful friendship with you.

Rest in Peace darling

RIP Doyin. I never met you but judging from your mother and sister, I know heaven has been blessed with another Angel. Sister Dupe and family, may the good lord continue to be your strength.

Doyin you were an amazing person - cannot forget your smile and your beautiful character . I am saddened that you are gone but cannot avoid the fact that I will certainly be able to see you again in Heaven. You impacted so many. Was great meeting you through the Windsor Fellowship, you embodied the love of Christ and inspired me so much through our conversations and words of encouragement! Your life spoke and will continue to speak through your legacy. Love you

It is so sad! Rest on

This is a Huge Blow. I wish there was an answer somewhere. You were such a great person with a wonderful smile.

I liked how you put me in check every now and then but now It's too late to apologise for being bad at keeping in touch...

But it's with a heavy heart I say I'd miss you!

I've been thrown in deep thought and sadness facing what is Reality.

God's will has been done..

Well I pray for your family! I can't imagine what they are going through.

Rest in peace my good friend.

I still cant believe you're gone. It makes no sense at all, like at all.

Despite our ups and downs in the 1+ years i knew you, i must say you were an amazing person and i'm glad i got the chance to meet you.

I still regret not seeing you when i said i was going to, really really cuts deep.

I pray you Rest in Peace DSF and i pray God gives your family the fortitude to bear this loss.

Till we meet again...

Still doesn't make any sense.
Still doesn't add up.
Still so unreal.
I guess Heaven needed another angel so bad andit had to be you.

Saying you'll be missed is a gross understatement.

But we take comfort in the fact that you are in a better place and you are still very much alive in our hearts.

Rest well lady DSF till we meet again

Hi Doyin,

This is Nikitha. We went to Dame Alice together, shared our first days together as DAHS girls. I am unbelievably shocked, saddened and distraught by this news. You were so young. So young. I remember how confident and vivacious you were. You were one of my closest friends in yr9-11, and I have so many find memories of you, despite us not keeping in touch. Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, the yr 9 army expedition where we shared a one man tent (!), history classes, my 15/16th bday party, YOUR 16th birthday party, that crazy outraged letter we wrote about one of our P.E teachers - yup, still have it. I remember your beautiful smile, your contagious laugh, how athletic you were, and oh, your numerous hair styles when growing up. I can still picture your handwriting .You didn't deserve this. I just cant believe this. Doyin my dear,sweet friend, this isn't right. My thoughts are with your family. You will never be forgotton, not for one single moment. Sleep tight Doyin xx

Gone too soon!!! Tho, I didn't get d chance to meet u but d little I heard about u frm my aunt u are such an amazing lady, oyedoyin ur memory will forever lives on.... . May ur soul rest in perfect peace.
Amen

Doyin, I don't know what to say. We crossed paths fleetingly, but any time I spent in your company was like a breath of fresh air. You made everyone smile around you with your kind heart and beaming grin. I am so sorry we didn't get to spend more time together, but even sadder to know that cannot be rectified.
Wherever you are now, I know you'll be making everyone smile and we shall endeavour to carry that on for you on our little earth. My thoughts are with your loved ones at this devastating time. X

I met you not long ago,it is an emotional time for everyone who knew you .it is like a bad dream, but God knows best. Rest in peace my dear girl.
May the good lord accept your soul. Amen.

Lady D it's been a short time together but one thing was so obvious, you were a bold determined young lady, a risk taker, strong-willed and a goal getter. I am lost for words, was looking forward to dancing with you after your recovery, I was so sure that with your strong will and the strength of God you will pull through this but alse! We (Fagbenro family) will miss you greatly.
Bro. Dayo, sis. Dupe, Oyedayo, Dolapo, Dotun and the entire Doyin Family, I pray that God gives us the strength to bear this great vacuum Doyin's exit has created. A word to hold unto Isaiah 66:13
'As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.' I pray the God of all comfort, will comfort us all through this trying period of our lives. Amen

Proverbs 10:7
'The memory of the righteous is a blessing,....' DSF, lady D, sleep on.

A great young woman gone too soon...Rest on.

Doyin you will be remembered and your memory will remain ever green. Now rest in the bosom of your Lord and God Jesus Christ, Rest in Perfect Peace.

The night Bibiana and Sam got married, as the lights brightened and everyone was flagging we danced to Shina Peters - Afrojuju as though it was the start of the day. Anyone looking on would have thought you were happier to be there than the newlyweds. The photo of you grinning, as you fan the dancing groom is in the gallery. Your joy in the success of those around you says a great deal about your character and upbringing.

An awesome person, raised to be an brilliant woman. It is tough to write about you in the past tense, as the effect you have had on many here is very present and will carry on well into the future. You laughed often. Unreserved, you would speak to and spare a minute for almost anyone. Your example has inspired myself and others to care less about what others' think and just live to the fullest. Life is far too short. When I look at your graduation photo, I'm still proud of when you graduated, as I know it meant a lot. I'm also incredibly proud of the fight you put up. You will not be forgotten and will live on through our actions. My thoughts are with your family. Rest in peace.

Dearest D….
I can’t help but leave a tribute everywhere I can…
The world needs to know the sort of person you are. You were a blessing, a rare breed, a beautiful soul.
Memories with you are fresh in my mind. I can suddenly recollect everything… Our talks, arguments, quarrels, turn-ups, everything really… You were easily lovable….
I remember when we were younger and we would deliberate on who amongst us should ask the parents/Uncles for permission to go for whatever party was happening that weekend – You were always the choice as you had a way of convincing them on why we should go………………giving the best reasons why we couldn’t miss the party – Indeed you were a lawyer at heart!
You were my go-to person. A natural problem-solver.
The more I go through our chats, the more I realize I’ve lost someone I can never replace.
I miss you soo much it has become physical pain.
I really could count on you for anything, you were always there for me; not asking for anything in return (maybe just a club sandwich or chic-wizz) I am blessed to have had the sort of relationship I had with you – You’re unforgettable. 
I wish you could see how much love those who know and don’t know you have for you; You deserve the love. You deserve to still have life. You were clear on what you wanted from life, the sort of life you wanted to live! You never settled.
I know we would meet again in heaven…
It would be one hell of a catch-up!

Doyin still in shock.... But God knows best. RIP doll. My last conversation with you was " Aunty I love your bag" and I said Doyinnnn and you answered me saying when I grow up I want to be like you. You fought to the end. Who are we to question our maker. You will forever be missed by all of us. Adieu DSF

This is a huge blow! I am not sure I knew you personally, but I certainly know your parents. My prayers are they will be comforted by the mark you made and the assurance of your salvation....
