Tribute to Edith Ejoh-Garner
Words are scarce but the little we can muster we will.
Your stern stance was reassuring in adversity, and when there were tears, you gave comfort.
To fault you is your penchant to give, you never knew not to give even when you had none.
You brought joy when there were tears, and tears of joy with your magnanimity.
But you always had your heart, which was large and accommodating.
Your satire knew no bounds.
You defied all odds, and unrelenting in your beliefs.
Your scorn was swift and decisive, unblemished and unleashed fury in defense, protection and love towards your own.
To our mother, aunt, sister and angel.
Rest in the Lord.
