Memories of the fun times we went to church together as young single ladies, gisting as we walk down, how we grew into married women and reconnected on social media. I can't forget those your beautiful and reassuring smiles. I'm yet to come to terms with the fact that you're no more. Rest on in God's bosom dear friend (for I know that's where you are), till we meet to part no more.

And just to think about the exhortation you preached that day about God's faithfulness and how he will be our Ebenezer. Ma because of that exhortation I began to thank God for the littlest of things like the bed I lay on, the food I always eat etc. My eyes became open to the faithfulness of God.
Ma you will be forever missed.

Last two years, I was preparing to marry, having moved out of my office apartment, I got a bedroom apartment with nothing inside. When you heard about my marriage plans, you promised to visit with your husband, although I was excited about the news of your visit, I didn't think you'll come over. 
The day you promised to come with your husband, I had my fiancee come over and I felt honored when you both drove down to my compound (you both were the only senior friends that visited me), during those days. 
Your words were super encouraging and  I still hear them echoe, when you were telling my fiancee that we'll look back to celebrate God's faithfulness because of God's blessings. You even said I was starting big, when I had not even a chair nor bed in the house.
And you both left, sending gifts. Your words amidst smiles were always soothing. I'll often times sit with my wife around you and your husband and kids, so I could enjoy your ambiance. You never greeted nor respond to anyone's greetings without accompanying it with a genuine smile. You've never missed my call without returning it, neither have you received my message without responding nor have you for once said you don't have time to answer my many questions. You were all shades of beauty. 

My wife and I love and miss you dearly. 
Till we meet in the resurrection morning.
Yes! Till we meet again, Dr. Mrs. Esther McCarthy 

The news came as a heart break,  but no one  can question Gods decision. U were a good wife to our chairman and his family and the church. U always respect everyone around u. Only God will comfort ur hubby children and family and church. RIP. 

I'm saddened to hear of demise, I might not have known you too well, but I know you lived a good life. The Lord be with you till we meet again, The Lord Grant you Eternal peace. Amen

I'm yet to understand what kind of world this is... just the other day, you spoke of God's faithfulness and Goodness... saying that the air we breath is a privilege... never knew it was ur last...how come...LORD THIS HURTS SOO DEEP... you left without saying goodbye...to soon..see how broken you left us...U where so rare to find...so humble, deeply rooted in God...loves to love...if we loose you, what then is left...Chaii!!!,It hurts so much to loose Ma...Dr McCarthy loves you so much...I know this with my Life,we will miss you...May God grant Dr. and the rest of the family the fortitude to bare this great lost

The news of your untimely demise came with shock and sadness. The ever radiating joy and smiles on the faces of your family is a testament of how amazing you were a mother and wife. God alone understands this puzzle called life. Rest in His grace till we meet to path no more. Payers for grace and comfort to the family.
