It was 2 years yesterday and still very fresh in our minds. The children and I gathered yesterday at your grave side; just to recount what lives have been since you were gone. It was so sweet to remember you although time has passed. Although time has passed, but the memory will continue to linger, because we missed you so much and we will always do until we meet to part to more.

The Children and I gathered together yesterday to celebrate your birthday post-houmous. If you were still with us, it would have been your 56th birthday. Regardless of how our worlds turn, you will forever be in our hearts, and you will never be forgotten. You will always be alive in our minds. Rest on dear.

It's true we never know the value of what we have till we lose it. I miss our friendship, your motherly support and your bubbly personality. Anytime memories of you play in my mind, I cry mummy.

Gone but not forgotten
It's exactly one year today since you left us. Our lives have never been the same since then. Every single minute, every single hour, every single day of the year you are missed. The only solace we have is that you are in the bosom of the Mighty Savior.
Proverbs 10:7 says that "The memory of the righteous is blessed...."
We blessed the Lord for giving you to us, for the life and the memory we shared together and for the hope that we have; that one day, we shall meet to part no more. Rest on my darling.

It's your birthday sis,
Today, we would have laughed, jisted and just generally shared the day, no matter where you were. So since death isn't finite, I'm laughing and sharing today knowing that God blessed us, the entire Umoffia family, with you the day you were born. Your memory lives on. We miss you very much!

In the last few weeks of your passing onto glory, I have taken time to reflect on what you mean to me and my family. Whilst my heart bleeds you are no longer with us; missing your wonderful smiles, the Christmas catch ups and our Saturday night gist and the rest, I am still grateful. Grateful that our paths crossed, grateful that you have been part of our lives in the last 15 years, grateful that you taught us how to love even when it is not valued by the same people we tried to love, grateful for showing us what selflessness means, grateful for your inspiration - using your experience to make the world a better place, grateful for your exemplary life as a wife, mother, friend, ministry colleague and sister. We will certainly miss the Christmas gifts you always send across to the kids, the games we play together during the holidays and the many other things we always do together as a family. My friend, my sister, sleep well till we meet again at the feet of Jesus.

Mummy Olugbemiro,
You have been a blessing to many, including me and my family
Words can not express your contributions to us and the Church of God.
The memory of the righteous is blessed
Rest on in the bosom of our Lord.
God will give the family the grace, strength and fortitude to bear this loss.
Grace be multiplied to you all!
SHALOM!

My dear Aunty Florence. This is so painful, I don’t know where to start, the shock still has a strong grasp over me. Our families are so close, with every December being the time we all look forward to because of our get together. Your obsession with monopoly and having us all play games can never be replicated. I remember the first time you met Dave and you gave him ‘Black, Bold&Beautiful’- the way you embraced and loved him immediately.
I’m going to miss helping you choose the best patterns for the dolls, I’m going to miss making fun of all the whacky dishes you’d make at Christmas. I’m going to miss you asking me for advice about things I have no clue about. I promise to hold Shallom close. To help her in anyway she needs when it comes to choosing the right partner, getting married, having kids. You’ll forever be missed, but we promise to keep your legacy burning.
Love you forever

So many memories but my fondest is of the time I spent with you in Jos. I’m so glad we were able to reconnect again after such a long time and although it was brief (who knew!), it was still worth it and now, precious.

Rest In Peace, Imo girl.

With Love always and forever.

Like a nut in the chest, very hard to reach or crack, so was and still is your demise to me.
Losing loved ones is one of the things I dread so much in life and even though I have gone down that lane before, it is always heartbreaking to say the least.

I only knew you for four years but the memories of you are so numerous in my brain it feels longer than time.

Having a first child in a foreign land, you took up the position of a mother immediately. From making sure I got a hang of breastfeeding when he would not latch, to his first bath and dress up on earth, to the plenty gifts, words of knowledge, encouragement and a deep well of parental counsel and experiences, how many can I recount ? Yet you did all with joy and gladness. Always doing things with a sense of fulfilment.

I remember you coming to our home on a hot summer afternoon to give him your “signature bath and special massage” that made him sleep off for hours. You were sweating so much I was worried about you but you came ready for the task, such that you came with a change of clothes ❤️. During my second pregnancy, I remember how you taught me to push the baby off my nerves when my legs were almost losing it.

I remember when I had a dermatological issue with my hands that I hid well from everyone, you noticed mummy ,held my hands and checked them like only a mother would and immediately you referred me to a naturopath you knew and voila the first cream recommended (Calendula) did the magic. How happy you were when you saw the changes and you never stopped following up.

I remember your first visit to our home, you had a lot to pass on as far as interior decor was concerned. You were just full of life and colours.

I remember the women meetings in church, your smiles, your dance, your warm hugs, your messages, your versatility; you knew something about everything.

Mummy always wanted things done perfectly with no flops. She would not give room for mistakes. Your assignments and list of things you want done always detailed and specific and you would always request for updates on every task to make sure everything was running smoothly as desired.

Oh the passion you had for wellness conference, and the joy the success of each gave you. Even in pains, despite how weak you were at the last one, you would not give up or let go till the end of it. Your resilience is second to none and you were concerned about the health of everyone around you.

You wanted every thing in the church to function at its best, reaching out to people yourself to fill vacuums in departmental units. Mummy was concerned with everyone’s spiritual life always emphasising our service is to God and not man and how can I forget your practical questions, experiences and valuable contributions during digging deep.

What about Operation Christmas Child, another of your legacies in Jubilee Centre. Mummy was always on my neck making sure   this was actualised annually , it gives her so much joy giving to the children in need around the world.

Pen and words can never convey totally the beautiful memories of you; they linger on in our hearts.

We cannot question God for not answering our prayers of leaving you with us for even if it’s a little time more.
I kept looking at you laying in the casket today with a tiny faith in my heart, hoping God would do something that would stir up a revival in the land but I perceive God looking at me and saying “your mummy has seen the GLORY here and she does not want to come back to that dark world , you do the revival there and run your race to the end gloriously”.

We love you Mummy
We miss you dearly
Blessed indeed are the memories of the righteous. Proverbs 10:7
Sing on in glory ABBA’s Beloved Angel 
Till we meet at the Father’s feet to part no more.

I LOVE YOU MUMMY OLUGBEMIRO ❤️❤️❤️

You were my first Sunday School Teacher in RCCGJC, kind and open to all. Your actions were louder than your words. You were an embodiment of love and smile… mummy, you are from the lineage of biblical Dorcas. You were a blessing to all of us in various ways. Your footprint on the sand of time will forever remain indelible. We are grateful to God that you were sent to the world in a time such as this and you conquered. Rest on in glory great woman- much love!

I never knew a picture can be worth so much. Saying a final goodbye to you today has been so tough to say the least. I am not so good with words. But all o can say is you and are and forever will be in my heart. That is very certain. I still see your smile and it comforts’ me that you are in a better place. I am so blessed to have shared those last moments with you couldn’t have wished for anything more. Bye for now but not forever. Till we meet again my beloved mother friend and sister. Gosh you were the total package. Your humility is one of a kind. I love you so so much. Rest peacefully in Gods bossom until will meet again. PASTOR MRS, COUNSELLOR FLORENCE OLUGBEMIRO

Aunty Florence. You were the epitome of someone who would rightly be described as 'larger than life'. You were as a tree whose branches provide covering and protection even to little ones who don't know or appreciate where the shade is coming from.

You transcended expectations and your zest for life was contagious. Now you will live on in glory until we meet again. I'm sure God has welcomed you in with a resounding "Well done my good and faithful servant!". He will keep your family and carry them through on this side of heaven, from glory to glory and your legacy will remain for generations. God bless and keep you for eternity woman of God.

Words fail me Mummy!!

It's been 3weeks since you left and I have been struggling to come to terms and to write you this tribute....You said you were getting better and stronger each day..

You opened your heart, your home to my family when we arrived 8years ago. We became your family, You were always looking out for Us. We shared our struggles, good times and challenging times with you. Your encouraging words, smile, words of wisdom were inestimable. We were privileged to share in your versatile knowledge regards family living, health, wealth, business, etc. I was privileged to plan some Wellness programs with you, be a part of your parenting book which impacted my parenting skills a lot. Mummy, the list is endless if I go through memory lane.....

Today, as you are being laid to rest, I thank God for the life you lived, the many souls you impacted In the community and the legacy you have left with Us. I ask God to console Pastor, your kids and all of us grieving over your demise.

Death did not Win!!

You Won as Heaven gained a Saint!!

Goodnight Mummy Florence!!

Grief is one of life's toughest challenges and we each deal with it in our own way. When the one who has passed is chosen of God, then the lot who grieve and are of God will not grieve as heathens do but with the knowledge that Heaven has gained back one of it's own and so rejoices.
The work is still ours, those on this side of the divide, to make our paths straight and live right by God for we never know the time nor the hour.
What sweet sorrow, what joyful pain. Imo girl has done her own bit, played her part and moved on to a much better place. May God help us to keep our lamp aflame for when He will call us home. Amen

May she continue to rest in peace till the day of resurrection. Amen

Ore mi atata, my adviser, my counsellor, my gist partner, my encourager, my HR consultant, my ministry friend, Toyosi's God mother, my Aunty and Aussie Mummy, short of words and hard to believe you have gone. I am very honoured to be your friend since my family migrated to Australia. A woman with a large heart and passionate about people's wellbeing. Your memories will forever linger in my mind.

My dearest Imogirl,                                   So it is really happening. We are talking about your funeral. I remember when you, your brothers, my sister Anne and myself lived under the same roof for 3 glorious years. We were so happy and content people thought we were from the same parents. The 5 of us were inseparable. You were barely 3 or was it 4 years old and everyone’s favorite, like a doll that we all treasured. You were very active and independent even at that age. Very fun - loving child with that smile and sparkling white teeth that were so obvious even at that young age. About a week before you passed my Mom told me she used to hide an extra piece of meat in your dinner plate under your rice and stew so the rest of us would not see it. I remember when all 5 of us would kneel down to say psalm 91 before going to bed. Being so young you did not know all the words except ‘ I will be with him in trouble’ almost at the end. You would shout that line so loudly (for everyone to hear) your brother Lawrence ( kneeling beside you) would lean away from you to save his ears. I am heartbroken as my baby sister is gone . My mom’s grief is indescribable. We are all comforted by the fact that you were truly a child of God and you are merely returning to our Heavenly Father who loaned you to us. Rest well in peace my darling cousin. You have reached our final destination before me but I will join you there someday.
Your cousin
Maggie

Aunty Florence,

Your passing came as a surprise to me, because I didn’t know about your health condition. But mostly because you were so full of life, kicking goals and being a mentor to every young aspirational black girl.

You were so warm, kind, giving, positive and inclusive. You valued everyone and made them...me feel special every time we were around you. The last time we spoke you told me that we should work together. I was so flattered. I thought we had more time to figure out what we were supposed to do together.

I know that my life has been made richer by your life and the legacy you’ve left behind. As you are laid to rest today, my heart hurts for your immediate family members who would’ve given anything to have you with them alive and in good health.

You will never be forgotten Aunty Florence, your smile, tenacity and vision will never be forgotten.

Go well.

I have never been great with writing words down. You always reminded me that speaking out was my best outlet, especially when I was speaking with you so here goes my attempt of summarizing a tribute to you.

Writing this I guess confirms reality that you are not a phone call or a text message away anymore.
To say it has been a struggle is an understatement aunty. Who will ever replace the space and role you commanded and executed so effortlessly and graciously? It still feels like a bad dream but it is of a bittersweet kind as I know you are in His bosom probably concocting a heavenly project of magnificent proportions.
You always prayed and mothered even when this child was more than a handful and some. You had a way of soothing the difficulties that came with everyday life that it’s almost impossible to think you were real. You and uncle have painted the true meaning of ‘living what you preach’ to my budding family. I want to stay strong and dwell on the positive of there being no more pain and stress but it is so hard. I pity those that never had the privilege of knowing you for they will never know what a ray of sunshine in human form you were.So many thoughts of I should have, I could have and I would have cross my mind daily but this doesn’t change reality. I am so blessed and grateful to God for crossing our parts and also sustaining it aunty Florence.

So instead of mourning, I will choose rejoicing because I know that have joined our Heavenly Father and are waiting for our reunion shortly.
Instead of dwelling on missed opportunities, I choose to remember the fond memories of the time we shared together and how you grabbed the horns of the present because it is all we are guaranteed. I choose to remember you never ending wisdom on marriage, family and prayers.
I choose to remember the love you shared so wholeheartedly despite the undeserving nature of some. Though we are sad you have left us, we are glad Heaven has reclaimed an angel and a legend.
Rest in heavenly peace aunty, till we meet to part no more.

Adieu Aunty

Aunty Florence,
Heaven has gained an Angel. Aunty Florence you will always be remembered for your kind and generous heart towards the the Next Generation. You surely shaped the Nigerian Youth here in Australia and gave us a solid cultural foundation. I know you're looking down at us and are proud of the Legacy you left behind. Rest In Perfect peace ❤

The great uroko tree had fallen,a diamond daughter is gone. The guru of the family is no more,the peace maker had left us. Death!!! Why?
You made an impact in our family the year you visited us in February,2019. You said " sister Ij keep our family together" , but I never new that would be the last time with you. Sister as I fondly call you. You promised to use everything within your reach to see that we live Nigeria to Abroad, sister you didn't stay to fulfill you promise.
My comfort is that you are at the right hand of God where there is no more gnashing of teeth,no more pains, no more sickness, no more sorrow and troubles of this world.
Sister rest on...... Rest in the bossom of God's hands until we meet to part no more.

Mummy Olugbemiro, as I fondly called you. You were such a wonderful woman, an incredible perfectionist. You served God wholeheartedly regardless of the pressure. You were always willing to pour out your mind and share your experience to encourage others in the ministry. Mummy Olugbemiro, you are greatly missed. God loves you more; continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord till the resurrection day.

Our dear sister Florence,
It is so difficult to comprehend that you are no longer with us our beloved friend and sister. Remembering who you were, all that we did together and knowing where you are now, where there is no pain, grief, crying and even death gives us great comfort. At some point in life, we are touched by the pain and sadness of losing a person who is so dear to us. Florence Olugbemiro, your radiant personality brought light to all those who had the privilege of knowing you. You were a great woman of God, with a good heart, great organisational skills, who smiled in every situation.
Florence, welcoming you and your family to Sydney, Australia and seeing your infectious smile sealed our friendship that we knew was going to last. You will surely be missed and you can never be replaced, and you will always be remembered.
Our consolation is that you have been ushered into the bosom of the Lord.
Rest in perfect peace our dear friend till we meet again at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ. AMEN

Florence,
when I woke to the Facebook post about your exit from our midst, I thought it was a joke.
Then I read it again and realised it was in your language, the beautiful way in which you only are able to put words together to convey information.
I remembered our last conversation and I felt so sorry that I did not push harder drop off other tasks to make it to your conference given that you were doing all that under the cloud of the dreaded illness, you were a giant amongst us and we did not see it.

You are resting now my Sister, no more pain. Within our hearts we have a gaping hole, the one you left us. You were an extraordinary woman , Florence, one of a kind, driving in your own lane, constantly coming up with one project after the other, writing books, running market stalls, building churches; nothing too small, nothing strange. You took on your tasks in your stride, had a unique manner in drawing in partners and support people.
You touched many hearts and your influence cut across diverse boundaries.

Yes, the good ones, the great ones amongst whom you are counted do not hang around for long. My sister, you have indeed fought the good fight and run the race successfully and with impact, now walk with that smile into your Father’s kingdom good and faithful servant; you are sorely missed! Rest In Peace dear friend!

Imo Girl,
I have come to this page several times to leave a tribute to your life and each time I would pause and ask myself if this were true? This news I have heard and each time I would stay my hands from typing in disbelief. But it's real, your passing is real. A date has been fixed for the internment. How more real can it get?

We shared so much towards the end, laughing, crying, praying, forgiving, encouraging and even making business plans. I know I will never look at a coloured princess doll the same way ever again. You are as real as it gets, beautiful inside and out.

My dear cousin, my ever smiling cousin, 2019 you and your beautiful family visited Nigeria and spent days with me. We went to the beach, took pictures that would remain my last physical memory of you. I'm grateful for the opportunity of meeting everyone again after so so long. There is so much I got to know about you at the end.

Sleep well my dear sister till that glorious day. I'm sure you are in my future because of what Christ Jesus has done for those who believe so I will not mourn like an unbeliever. It's my prayer that your family, friends, loved ones are comforted on all sides. We will miss you dearly.

I could finally come round to write a tribute to you. Its been a hard two weeks without you.
I want to begin by thanking God for your life. You were God’s answer to my prayers before I met you. You were everything I prayed for in a woman. I prayed GOD for a woman who will fear HIM, I prayed for a woman who will love me and that I will love passionately, I prayed for a woman who will serve HIM, I prayed for a woman who will bring up Godly offspring for HIM with me. You exceeded my expectations.
Your love and devotion to me and the children were unimaginable. You believed in me to a fault, even when I made mistakes, you will turn a blind eye and says it’s okay. You were so caring; you were so passionate to whatever you believe in; both God and humanity. How I wish I have loved you more, how I wish I have spent more time with you more than I did although we are inseparable while you were here.
I ask the LORD why us? Why you? And he answered my question. HIS answer was “Champions always exit the stage when the ovation is loudest”. You left at the prime of your life after touching so many lives. God took you at this time so that some of us who are still on this side of the divide, will imbibe your legacy. You touched so many lives, you impacted so many lives, you were a legend, and you were an angel; otherwise how can one explain your multi-tasking skills and your beautiful heart. You were given assignments; that is why you were hasty to complete them. You were always three steps ahead of me.
Once again, I just want to say I am GRATEFUL to the ALMIGHTY GOD who gave us to each other. I am grateful to God for the privilege of spending 30 years of our best lives together. We were made for each other; you bring out the best in me. It’s hard to imagine life without you. But my sorrow and grieves are relieved by the knowledge and the fact that you are resting in the bosom of the Mighty creator looking forward to the hope of meeting you at HIS feet someday not too long from now.
Adieu my darling
Adieu my Jewel of inestimable value
Adieu my wife
Adieu my able PA

You lived very well ma. Your beautiful smile warmed my heart every time I saw you. You made indelible impacts & you will be forever missed. We only take solace in the assurance that you fought the good fight of faith, and you’re now RESTING in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sending love and prayers of strength to the family❤️.

Ma,
I never knew you personally, but every time I saw you, you always had a colourful attire with a radiant smile to go with it. I always thought to myself, “she must be into some kind of creative profession”. A friend of mine used to say “she must be a fashion designer, she takes her time to look good”. I am sure many other people had that notion as well. I only recently found out about designed by Florence, so I was not so far from the truth.
You exuded grace, love and joy, one could almost touch it. I’m so sorry your family has to go through this. I pray that God comforts them.
We take solace in the fact that you lived a good life and most importantly, you are with the Lord.
Heaven definitely gained an angel.

Dear Mummy,

I'll always love you! There are very few who have the strength, the desire but most importantly the heart to love and love deeply. Yet, from the moment we met over a decade ago, you gave me your heart and so quickly stole mine too!

July 2021 was the month I was determined to really understand gratitude! It has convicted me, encouraged me and humbled me to understand deeply how much God values a heart of gratitude and how essential it is for our joy in life. July 2021 is also the month you left us and I was left thinking how am I supposed to be grateful for this? Where is the thanks, the joy and the gratitude in losing you, who willingly took on the role of "Mum" to me when you knew I needed an extra one.Thankfully, I was reminded that there was so much of your life to be grateful for!

1 Thessalonians 5:16‭-‬18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Thank you for living a life so full your love for it was so infectious! You were always the embodiment of "living life to the full".To you, each day was a new opportunity to use the life God had given to you to help others, create new and wonderful things, enjoy the company of those who surrounded you and make an impact in the world in whatever way you could.

Long before your beautiful dolls were a reality, you had brought life to so many wonderful things and yet those dolls were a way of sharing the beauty and pride you had, and that we should all have, in our African heritage.

Thank you for making your home a home to many! I always look forward to coming to the home you and Pastor have built together. Not only are we always fed the most incredible things, you both created a safe, competitive lol, loving and nurturing environment that I never want to leave.

Most significantly, thank you for loving me. I know I've not always made that easy for you but you've always done so freely and I believe wholeheartedly. You would always say "I know my children and I know their strengths and weaknesses" and I'm so beyond blessed that you viewed me in that way. You allowed me access to your life and you never failed to share your words of wisdom that are forever etched into my mind. You taught me the power of a praying wife long before I became one, you showed me the beauty of life in how much you enjoyed the company of your friends through your regular tea parties haha and all the other adventures you'd go on! I have so many of my favourite memories with you, from bush walking and playing pit for the first time in the mountains to all meals and games we have shared together. Thank you for always making time for me. I could had never known when we first met how much of an impact you would have on my life but we both know I will forever be indebted to you. I am a product of your love and there are not enough thank you's for that!

The reality that I won't get to experience your radiance again is a painful one, but I thank God that he's given me and so many others, years of incredible memories to hold onto for the years to come! My future children will live to know you and I will carry you and your incredible life in my heart always.

There is so much more I could say, you're an incredible wife, mother, friend, confidant and so much more but all in all know I will always love you.

Thank you,

Effie

I was totally blindsided by the announcement of your death. I have come to know and respect you as a woman of virtue, You always had that beautiful smile, warm engagement and friendly persona. You were a woman of prayer, loyal and hardworking. My regret is that we never managed to organise that much-postponed visit before your passing.
May God continue to strengthen and comfort the family that you left behind.
Rest on, beloved sister.

The strife is over, the battle done;
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun:
Halleluiah!

A woman of virtue, a woman of faith!

Your undeniable virtue is evident in the life you lived, the lives you have touched and your admirable family; your husband and children that fears the lord and continue to serve him with their gifts. 

I thank God for the privileged of meeting you the week we arrived in Australia. You welcomed us with your beautiful smiles and very open arms, you were always willing to help and share knowledge. I am grateful for your trust, the time spent together and especially the last conversation we had, which now brings me a lot of comfort even though I didn’t know it would be the last.

You were a very strong, resilient, diligent, organised, hardworking, understanding, beautiful and humble woman, you did not allow anything to deter you from moving on, and achieving your goals despite the apparent uncertainties.

I pray that the lord will comfort and strengthen the family, and the church left behind.

Now that the strife is over and the victory is won! Keep on resting in the arms of your saviour, in the land where you will never grow old.

Rest on, dearly beloved Mummy Florence Olugbemiro.
