Joy, I am still puzzled and seeking to understand why this out come, i kept saying No!! you deserve better!
I find it difficult to use words to express ur bond with my family. You became a sister, a friend, my husband's 5n6, my children grew so so fond of you. When I need escape from my kids, I could trust you with them. Your love for Jay is exceptional, those pictures and videos you make together cracks us up, we called him your baby.
I remember the warm tight hug you gave me during the fast in January and you whispered in my ears, thank you for that teaching, thank God I know you, thank you for being such a blessing, wow, how you released strength into me that day, and into the lives of those you encounter.
Always ready to share knowledge, ideas, resources and time.
You had this excellent spirit, when we need to get things working it's 'Joy to the rescue'
Even at the face of all you went through, you did not allow anyone who visited you at d hospital leave sad or gloomy, u released words of hope and made us laugh, our hope was rekindled.
Such a great achiever who lived up to her name Dworldsgreatest...
Yes Joy deserves better, Joy has gone to a better place. Joy finished the race, joy kept the faith.
You finished strong!!!
JOY is ALIVE again not just in a better place but in the Best place for an Angel.
Joy girl! Thank you for being all that you were. I remember our discussion and prayers till the last day. You were strong. You fought. You won.
You were always yourself. No pretense, no facade. You had an open mind and sweet personality. You could handle any form of teasing, it was all fun. You laughed at yourself and did not take things too seriously. Oh Joy girl! When I visited Abuja in December I didn’t realize it would be the last time I would see you physically. When I had the video call with you 2 weeks ago I didn’t realize it was going to be our last on this side of eternity. This was not the outcome we prayed for but we rest knowing you are with Jesus.
We all miss you dearly. There’s so much to say but can’t articulate it all right now. Enjoy heaven baby. love you!
Babe, it still feels so unreal that you are no more here. I still keep asking myself is it my Joy that everyone is talking about. I stare at your pictures and wonder if it's true that I'm never going to gist with you again.
Your voice still rings in my head, all the great times,how we moved from just friends to family. How you used to follow me home on some weekends and my mom will hail you Chairlady international and you will reply mommy mommy. I still remember how I used to scream your name to let you know food was ready back then in Hall 2 because I was too lazy to climb the stairs,i remember our fights, we will vex and later it will be as though nothing happened. I remember logging in for accommodation around the same time so that we would get the same hostel and rooms close to each other. I remember going to June 12 at night to read and having to climb in through the fly over because those security men refused to open the gate. I remember dragging you into politics. I remember so many things, UNIBEN stories will never be complete without mentioning you because you were a part of me. I remember how you almost dragged me to CASOR because that was your fellowship.
I remember meeting some people I never knew and when I introduce myself they will be like wait you are Ebika,Joy's friend?i was in law school with Joy and she told me all about you and an instant bond will be formed between me and that person simply because of you. this happened several times, see me feeling like a celebrity
I miss you, I really do. I miss our gists, I miss everything we shared. I looked forward to more times of celebration together but alas God chose to call you home.
To live in the hearts of those you love is not to die.
Sleep on Babe.you came,you saw and you triumphed.
I love you
