I am still finding it difficult to come to terms with the reality of your departure.. I commit Daddy and your children into the Most High God to keep, uphold, strengthen and comfort them all.
71. Dupe Olayinka Amosun: ‘YEMSOSO!!!’ as you were usually called by my mother. Your usual response was ‘Abolanjeee!!!’ News of your transition really touched my bones o! I have known you all my life as a hard-working Mum who wants the very best. I remember those days when Abolanjee would take us in a Peugeot 504 car to your place at the Old Ife Road to play. We were always happy to go to your house because we were sure that you would give us as much LOLLYPOP as we would love to consume in your house and more than enough to take as take-away gifts. You were always there for us. When we were having hard times with our studies, you encouraged, scolded, and showered love on us. You would always correct and guide us in a funny way that would eventually have life-long effects on our desire to learn and excel. I remember a time when you wanted to correct Seyi about the body cream he was using that was making his skin lighter. You drew my mother’s attention to Seyi’s unusual lighter skin by saying “Abolanje, o o so fun mi wipe o ti ni molato ni’le”, and you told Seyi to stop using the cream since the cream can cause skin cancer if he did not discontinue its use. Your boldness and frank nature in providing your advice really shocked me because you boldly bared your mind on possible health challenges that might be the aftermath of his using the body cream. “SUN UN RE, OMO ALETAN, IYA SANNI, till we meet to part no more”.
70. Bankole Adeowu: If I will write anything on your epitaph, it will suffice to say ‘the ink has dried’. ‘Aunty Yemisi’ as I fondly called you, the life you led is rewarding, exemplary, and worthy of emulation. You will be forever and sorely missed. After death, it is a long sleep. Yemisi, sleep well and rest in the bosom of The Lord.
69. Elder Bingley: Though time moves fast, the fact remains that we all shall return to the dust because we all came from the dust. I join the noble family to say ‘Adieu’ to the departed soul. I decree into the life of this great family, now and forever, that Heaven will not rest until every member of this family, from the head, Prof. Sanni and the children and their seeds, accomplishes the purpose of his or her creation; in the name of God The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. A loud and believing ovation of ‘Amen!!!’ by all the household.
I would have written on Dr (Mrs) Oluyemisi Sanni but each time I wanted, I never knew where to start. Is it her friendliness to whoever she came across, or the enviable character of a good wife or attrubutes of a mother indeed or lover of education or the delicious food she would prepare for her husband - my Egbon, that I will share when I went his office? I knew her for just about seven years. Specifically between 2009-2016. She discussed with me as brother and sister and joked so amazingly. I never believed she died and quite did not believe until I attended her burial. I still visualise her ever beeming with smiles to show that she is always happy. I remembered telling me after the burial of her mother in law and jokingly told me that I didn't stay under their canopy rather I stayed with Biola and saw me raising my shoulder because I am studying Law and she is not a lawyer. She then assured me jokingly that she will also go and study Law and we both bursted into laughter. That is her person- jovial. It is sad to hear her demise but Bible says we should thank Him in all situations. In all of these, Dr Oluyemisi Sanni actually came, saw and conquered even at that prime age notwithstanding. Finally the person we love never really dies but lives in our memories and dreams. May her soul and that of other faithfuls rest in peace! By: Abayomi Ogundele Esq
