I remember Mummy with fondness. I remember her with smiles and tears. I remember her care for me when I was sick and then...she also started her fight for life. We both shared some fears and laughter and she always prayed...that God should help me more; cos I was younger....it still fills my eyes with tears......my journey to life would not be complete without mentioning Aunty Philo.

OUR PRICELESS AUNTIE PHILO, OUR GREAT MATRIACH MOVES ON TO GLORY!!! Auntie i find it very,very difficult to write about you in the past. One leg of our tripod has been removed and is irreplaceable. Hey... Josie never mentioned you were sick... neither did Tony... My consolation is in Proverbs 3:5. Auntie you were fearless, brave, adventurous, courageous, compassionate, fashionable, motivating. You played significant roles at critical points in your life. Always reaching out to people. You were a unifier, a blessing to all you met. Many fond memories of you when we all lived in John Nwodo Close, G.R.A.,Enugu and your visiting days at Queens School, Enugu( those special jelly you made...very delicious), your lyrical Igbo accent, you were a rare GEM. May our LORD our saviour JESUS CHRIST grant your gentle soul eternal rest, amen. Adieu!! our priceless Auntie, Adieu!! our Sweet Mother, Adieu!! our Loving Granny, our Great-Grand Mum, our MATRIACH!!! Missing you terribly!!!!

We have known each other from school days as young girls. We have remained a family ever since. A woman who has no boundaries in her attachment to people. A woman who does not discriminate whether religious, ethnicity, colour or otherwise. A woman who is bold and fearless to speak the truth with empathy. Philo, I am cold and unable to pull myself together on hearing of your departure without a goodbye. I will not be at your funeral as I am not strong enough to see you lie without a word from you to me. We were a family and I will keep this relationship going with John, Josie the calm and quiet one, my aggy the life wire and Nkechi.
Let me stop and carry on praying for the repose of her gentle soul. Philo, you have fought the fight to a finish. God loves you and so, have a PERFECT REST IN THE LORD!
August 22, 2017

Adieu Philo, good friend and great compatriot. Your legacy of contributions to the cultural and social cohesion and life of the Igbuzor community in London, UK, will remain long after your departure. RIP. Amen.

Mummy you were my role model, intelligent, hardworking, gorgeous,  stylish and you had a way with words. I recall when we had our baby Nkechi aka Kiki, how you spoiled me, Mr O as you fondly called your son Eugene (my hubby) and baby Kiki. Before we woke up you had prepared so many scrumpdelicacies, which were either Nigerian or Continental.
11months after we had Kiki, you were post-surgery but you were still worried about who would look after Kiki, as I was going back to work after maternity leave. You were always thinking about your kids, adopted kids, including those in your circle and those not in your circle. Nnem Oma we miss you terribly. It brings tears to my eyes that you are no more here but you are in a better place with Jesus. 
Continue to rest in peace mummy, we love you loads. Love your darling daughter,  Jossy

When the Lord called you home, He left a gift of memories in exchange. 

I will always remember how you took care of my son, allowing me time to attend evening classes for my postgraduate studies. You encouraged me and gave me confidence that my son will be fine with you. You took care of him until I completed my programme. That was a beautiful memory that we will never forget. 

I pray that your children and those who loved you will hold on to numerous beautiful memories, and let them guide us during this time of sadness. 

May your beautiful soul rest in perfect peace, Amen. 

Tessy and Chidi
