Granny your absence made this day 21st August to just be remembered without the fun attached to it. What can I say, you are indeed forever missed.

I sat and was remembering all the moments we have shared together my dearest aunty aka Granny. You were a peaceful, loving and easy going person. You would always tell me "Ma worry ara re" whenever I bring up an issue bothering me.
May your soul continue to rest in peace Granny.

It's been two years of living without seeing or hearing you on this side of eternity. It's been two years of seeing how God takes care of His own. You served the Lord with all your might, and your consistency was second to none. Our continuous prayers remain with your children and grandchildren. Sleep on in the bosom of the Lord, your Maker.

I still miss you, my dear friend. You were my adviser and constant companion. Since your passing you left a void in my life without one to talk to on daily activities. This is to tell you that your memory will continue to remain with those who cherished you. May your loving soul rest in peace.

To loose someone special is really hard to bear it hardly seems believable that you are no longer here.
However hard it is we would take comfort in the thought of all the memories we have and all the joy you brought.
You always lived life to the fullest but ours wont be the same till we can see your smiling face again.

Dear Mummy,

It has taken me some time to come to terms with your sudden passing - it is still shocking and unfathomable - we have no choice but to continue with cherished memories as you would want.

From the very first time Tosin introduced me to you over 20 years ago, to the last conversation we had last December shortly before you left Canada, you always had this calm demeanour that always set me at ease in your presence. You welcomed me into your home and you were always asking of my and my family’s welfare. You were always kind and in good spirits.

I will always be inspired by the strength that you showed in raising two wonderful human beings by yourself from an age much younger than I am today. You showed us how to be both a father and a mother, thank you.

And in Tosin, Tope and all your Grandkids and others like me that called you Mum, your candle shall burn forever, never dimming. Rest well Mummy.

I will forever miss you.

Lanre, just when we thought we had reconnected after missing each other for so many years, death suddenly took you away. To say the least is to say that I will miss you sorely. My fond memories of you as a loving, kind, and thoughtful friend is my consolation. Just as if you knew you were leaving, we recently thanked each other for being "forever friends" for over 50 years.. For this I give God Almighty the glory. May God Almighty comfort all your loved ones, especially your children and grandchildren. May your gentle soul continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ, whom you served until the end. Amen.

It was a rude shock to me when I received that phone call. I still cannot believe that you are gone.

You cherished friendship and were a woman of your word. A woman that had great dreams and one of which was to raise educated children.

You were easy going, humble, hardworking and fashionable. I thought that we would stay together for long but I know that God knows best.

Oh granny, my beautiful, cheerful, caring and gentle aunt/mother. Yes! you were my mother. I can't believe you are gone and I would never get to see and gist with you again. On Sunday when I was with you in the hospital, I prayed and wished for a miracle to happen and I had faith before leaving that you would open you eyes and get up from the bed but the next day God had other plans for you which he knows best. I have known you all my life likewise my siblings and we grew so fond of you and you showered us with so much love. You were the support system of the Ekundayo Willoughby family during the good, bad & happy times.
Hmmm ! Death you are wicked. Shame on you.
You were my role model. My kids and I always look forward to coming to 41rd to visit because there is never a full moment with you. I would keep all the memories, advices and discussions we have had in my heart. My kids have still not accepted that you are in a better place because Lawrence said yesterday that you are in the hospital that you can't die. We love you so much granny and will always miss you especially your Mentos grandchildren. 
Thank you ma for all you have done for me and for always being there.
May perpetual light shine upon you ma.
May the soul of the faithful departed thru the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen
Good night ma. Lots of love from the Ilechie.

Mama Oyebola as my family fondly calls you.
On the Thursday, 4th February, I saw you at your house receiving fresh breeze, we joked,laughed and spoke about my late husband (ANIMASHAUN).I said we shall see tomorrow but I couldn't make it. Didn't know that would be the last time I saw you.
Only for me to receive the news on Tuesday. It was a big shock to my family.
Mama was a God fearing woman ,friendly and also a cheerful giver. My children and I misses you.
You call my Late husband a brother like husband.
Rest in Perfect Peace.

Morenikeji mi
Words fail me I'm here silently hoping someone took you from the hospital abroad for better treatment and you will back soon.
Joshua said he had a dream that you recovered and came back home, hes keeping your phone for you till you return
How do I explain to him you are never coming back when it's hard for me to understand you are gone forever or how do I explain to those you gave hope that your angel duty is done.

A lot has happened in 10days
A huge part of my heart has been shattered but I'm glad I was with you till your last breath and I know you are in a better place
Thank you for being an angel, a hope to so many, my comforter, my brain box, my gist buddy, my morenikeji
I remember you always talking about your mum can't believe the baton has been passed to me and all I have of you are memories.

Mrs Oye, as I called you, a colleague turned sister. The news of your death came as a rude shock & still seems like a dream I am going to wake up from.
We chatted often praying for me to enter granny's club soon not knowing you will not wait to mentor as you did for me in the bank. Such a reliable & trusted senior friend you were, down to heart. Missing you is an understatement, Anytime we talked, always as if we see often. May the Almighty God grant you eternal rest.
Till we meet to part no more, adorable sister.

Olanrewaju my baby sister and best friend why why why? You told me you have ironed your dresses because you want to go out next week, I didn't know you are going out of this sinful world in 4days.
You said you want to change your friends not knowing you are going to join another fellowship in heaven.
You said you will leave the house without taking anything, I never knew your heavenly journey was so close. May your gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace.

So, this is all there is to life.
Lanre, so we will never get to talk on this earth  again.

Words have eluded me at this moment.

What more can I say. Lanre continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember your children and grandchildren that love you so much. Adieu my beautiful friend inside out.

A BEACON OF HOPE HAS LEFT US...

It still appears to us like a fairy tale. How could it ever be true that you had joined the saints triumphant? How could it be that you will now be missed in the roles you do play in the church? How? You joined the membership of the Living Stone Baptist Church and in few years your leadership ability and progressive mindset touched every grain and fiber of the church-life. You became a beacon of hope, a pillar that withstood the caterpillars. Little wonder, how you rose to be the President of the Women's Missionary Union of the church; an office you held till your home call. You will be greatly missed. Your thoughts, counsels, and positive contributions will never be forgotten, your legacy we will uphold, and the memories of the time we spent together and your positive contributions at the last church-wide family meeting will remain forever in our hearts. We cannot but submit to the will of the Lord Jesus who intimately and ultimately loves you so much. We do pray that we shall meet again to part no more on the resurrection morning. Amen and Amen. Indeed, you will be greatly missed. Sleep on Mama Oyebola.

The Godly will Rest In Peace.

Still feels like a dream. I cannot believe you are gone.

When your son Oluwatosin married our daughter Oluwatobi we became family. A truly blessed union that has grown from strength to strength.

Our daughter took you as her mother. Thank you for welcoming her as yours. You spent a good part of your life caring for your children and grandchildren. I saw the love and care you displayed over your grandchildren for many years.

You were an example of love, kindness and humility. You will be greatly missed.

I pray for the peaceful repose of your soul. Rest on Grandma Festac .

Adieu my dear sister and friend -Mrs Olarewaju Mendes Oyebola. I never thought you will leave this sinful world so soon. It was a rude shock for me but the legacy you left behind lives on.
This Yoruba song keeps coming to my mind when I think about you: "Eniti a jo se ana da, won ti ku won ti lo....."
I have not opened the gift you gave me when I heard the shocking news of your demise.
Eternal rest grant her O Lord. Sleep on loving sister till resurrection day when we meet to part no more.

Grandma, this is still a shock to us all.
I know God knows best.
You were a giver, kind hearted and peace loving woman. There was always something special about your presence, calls and prayers. You treated my husband and I like your very own children and our children as your grandchildren.
How can I forget how David prayed for you and also thanked God for your life. They appreciated you as theirs.
Your smiles and words of encouragements can't be forgotten.
You remain forever in our hearts.
Rest on grandma.

Dear Grandma Festac,

I have too many memories of you to fill this space. We are still in shock and
pained but we are holding on to the knowledge that you are in a better place.

You were a pillar of support to us all and always saw life on the bright side. You lived a good life and lived to the fullest. We would have loved to have several more days, weeks, months and years with you. We had plans for your 65th, 70th, 75th and 80th birthday.

We told Oluwatofe and Oluwatoni about your departure and they reminded us of the promise you made to always come back to stay with them. Oluwatofe misses his Yoruba teacher and chorus leader. Oluwatoni misses your dialogues by her dollhouse, Oluwatosin and I miss your ever constant gist and contrary opinion to the news especially coming out of Nigeria. I can still see you through the window going on your daily walks or exercising indoors whenever the weather did not permit.

You touched so many lives and we were not surprised to receive all the visits, calls and texts we have received from your connections over here in Canada. You were mum to all and never took any moment for granted.

Sleep well in the bosom of the Almighty till we meet to part no more dear Mother and GrandMother Mrs Elizabeth Olanrewaju Mendes Oyebola.

Love always
Oluwatobi Oyebola

Mummy Oyebola, it saddens it has to happen like this but we are however thankful to God for He knows why.
I remember our last day together in church. You are always in your best moment. You will be remembered for your truthfulness and neatness.
No dull moment with you. You will be sorely missed.
May God comfort the families left behind.
To a woman of valour, Adieu!!!
