I have been thinking about you so much this week.  I will never forget you. And am very sure that you are resting in his boss on.

July 13, 2015

No amount of words can convey the depth caused by your passing.  I still can not believe this.. You were an image of correction from wrong to right in the entire Oriaifo's family.
WHY DID YOU LEAVE US BEHIND SO SOON , OUR DEAREST SISTER OF YEARS AND YEARS???? Only  God can answer this.
I last saw you on our grand mum"s funeral, always on a smile and so friendly..

May God grant you enternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon your soul..
RIP BIG SISTER.

Gone, But Not Forgotten

Someone So Dearly Loved - Dr. Ejemeh Okojie

Someone so dearly loved
So popular with her friends
We should not cry forever,
For this is not the end.

Your memory lives amongst us,
Times we both laughed and cried,
We cannot bare to lose her,
But one day, we all must die

We hear her voice within us,
and her funny little laugh
So many things remind us;
Of times that are now gone past.

We know of no-one who hated her,
She was the apple of every eye
She will sleep peacefully in the bosom of our lord
Till we all meet again.

Just before I put to bed in 2013.

Ejemen my sister & friend. Remembering your words when I went back to university here in England, after three children. The would call you, telling I cant cope, you would tell me, Glo you can do it, you're almost their. For your words of encouragement I strived on. The day I graduated, you celebrated with me. SAYING YOU MADE IT. all thanks to you. Without you in my journey of life till date, if I don't mention you, it won't be complete. Our childhood together was great, we shared special moments together. My darling obhio, HEAVEN HAS RECEIVED AN ANGEL. Though you gone, your memories lives on. Rest on my sister, we will meet again in paradise. Love u always. 

Meet Royal Mama!!!

July 9, 2015

Royal Mama! As I fondly called you, I will never forget those early days of JHB Community Outreach we had together, the several meetings we had at your place, planning the JHB Free Health Fair. No matter how early in the morning or late in the evening we met, you would always offer us something to eat and take with us. You and your darling husband (Oga mi to whom I remain loyal) opened up your home to us, you made us feel welcome anytime. From the JHB free health clinic on alternate weekends to the Royal Kids Ministry, your life was all about service and giving. You always wore a pleasant look no matter what the situation is; your smiles were contagious. When Pastor T talks about those with encouraging spirits, you were one person that readily came to mind. You were my children's doctor be it in the comfort of your office or even in the hallways. My family will miss you dearly, but we are comforted by the fact that you are now at the place where there is neither pain nor sickness. You are at the bossom of our dear Lord enjoying peace and love more than we on this side can give you. Your legacies live on Royal Mama, and all your children - biological, professional and spiritual - whom you have so well inspired will keep your memories alive. To all of us, your life was and will continue to be a blessing. 

Sister Ejemeh, loved by all

July 9, 2015

I don’t quite recall my first encounter with you, but it had to be serving together in the community outreach department. You exuded so much peace, so simple in your mannerism, I recall one occasion we had to go to Sam’s club, to get supplies for thanksgiving , it was easy being around you, the experience was stress free. As the Head of Department of the women’s ministry of Jesus House Baltimore, you made being in that group a wonderful experience, with your cheerful demeanor , you informed the women of the yearly activities, jokingly expressing what we could achieve if we paid our dues. You related amicably with everyone and never carried your title on your sleeves. The children loved you, my daughter states, “you were very funny and whenever they did not have a teacher in Sunday school class, you always got them a teacher” and my son states, “ everyone liked her, l liked her too, she trusted me enough to care for the children and give out snacks”. Most of all, l loved the way you rocked those heels, you were specially created to wear them, and you wore them well. You are constantly cracking jokes, making others laugh and very accommodating. In Israel, you exhibited strength more than everyone else put together, climbing those hills even in heels. Despite your situation, you never expressed it. You were so strong, and you constantly expressed your faith, believing that God will see you through. You constantly expressed your gratitude to God and his unfailing love to you and your family. My dear sister, it was a pleasure knowing you, you taught us that we don’t have to take things so seriously all the time. We love you dearly and we will miss you , Rest in Peace.

On marriage and the homefront

July 9, 2015
by Tinu A

A month or two ago, for laughs, I wanted to send you and Deacon the slide deck, which Ope and I created after interviewing you for pre-marriage counseling. We easily decided you were one couple to interview! You opened your home and one lesson I recall is how your home is your sanctuary.

 

We held teen sleepovers and events at your place on several occassions, bringing groups of over 30 teens - you simply handed us the basement and main floor.

 

When you heard me call my husband across the lobby by name, you called me aside and reprimanded me in love. Saying, "ah, no", etc and advised me that when the children are older, I can send them to quietly call him...but don't call his name from a distance.

 

You didn't play with your vacations. I loved to hear about your next destination and was hoping to plan your school/friends reunion on the Norwegian.

 

We celebrate the amazing life you lived and pray for comfort. Even in death, you are an inspiration.

 

Thank you Dr. O

 I can boldy say that aside your immediate family i benefited the most from you. I rlemember when I had my first baby and you shipped so much diaper, wipes, baby clothes, baby cot and every thing a baby will ever need. My kids were the best dressed in church because of you. In my 7 years of marriage I have never bought a Christmas dress or shoe. You bought me the best,  all the designer suits, jewelries, my children will miss you, my wardrobe will miss you. Pls God fill this vacuum that death has caused. I never had the opportunity to repay you for all the good. The only way I can is to attend your funeral. Please God make it possible for me to attend.

 

Sister Mommy, you are too much!

July 8, 2015

I was most delighted to see you at my graduation amidst battling with your health at that time. I remember speaking to you just a few days before, and you were not sure if you could make it. Thanks for always going the extra mile to be there for me and others, even when we sometimes don’t deserve it.

Trip to Israel

July 8, 2015

I had the wonderful oppurtunity of going to Israel with aunty Ejemeh. We toured the city together. There was not a boring moment on that trip! We went shopping together at Jerusalem market where she bought me a scarf which I would always cherish. She was such a giver! Thanks aunty for the memories which will always be in my heart.

I made this booboo in Gambia and always wondered if she ever wore it.....now I know. She's looking fabulous! I can bet she didn't tie this head piece herself cos that was not one of her numerous skills......
