TRIBUTE TO MY HUSBAND: DR. JAMES I. NDUKWU
As we mourn the passing of my beloved husband Dr.. James Ikechi Ndukwu, we also take consolation in the precious gift of a fulfilled life he lived with us here on earth. We are also consoled knowing .that he lived a devoted Christian life without compromising his faith.
The scripture according to -Hebrews 9:27 says “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this, the judgment:” King James Version (KJV). Because everyone knows that death is an unavoidable appointment that awaits all of us someday. Today! James has completed his earthly kingdom race. My husband transitioned to eternity on April 15th ,2019 after a protracted illness sin Oct 18th, 2011, He tried everything he could to fight this terrible terminal illness to the end.
Dr. James Ndukwu left a legacy of love and integrity with his family and those who knew him. He has left behind wonderful memories of a loving husband, brother ,uncle ,friend and a father. We were grateful for each and every day we saw his glowing smile and white teeth.
James loved education and believed in attainment of advance education. He had a doctorate degree and was a mathematics school teacher in New York City. he was very proud of his academic achievements and this is a value he had instilled in all of our children as well. He was selfless gentleman who would inconvience himself to assist anybody he could. He was sensitive to the feelings of his fellow human being. Indeed, he lived a life of generosity and friendliness to all, and enemity to nobody.
He was hard working and had a clever sense of humor. Above all, he had always wanted anyone around him to set higher goals ,achieve more success and discover the security and happiness that is within us. Until his death, he loved and cherished his extended family members both at home and abroad despite his health challenges. We will miss him more than words can express. We love you but God loves more.
May your gentle soul rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ until the resurrection morning where we shall part no more.
