The great memory and encounter with Florence Olugbemiro would linger in my heart as a former colleague in the defunct Lion Bank Plc, Jos Nigeria. She was a woman full of life, always cheerful and kind-hearted.
The information of her death came as a rude shock and unbelievable. We can't query God for taking her home so soon because God's foolishness is wiser than men. It's my fervent prayer that the Lord will show her mercy and receive her into His bosom. I also pray that the Lord will preserve the children, her husband and all that she left behind ijn.

Mma like I always called you, I bless God for creating a woman with a large heart to accomodate anyone that comes your way. I bless God I came to JCS 10yrs ago and I meet you, I never feel far away from home. You stood by us during crisis, crying, laughing and joyous moment. We fight battles together day and night with so many sleepless night and we won. Show me a procrastinator and I will show you a woman who will push you, help you, give you resource and encourage you to not delay because time wait for nobody, that is Mummy Florence Olugbemiro. Thanks for been a mother to me and my household in Australia.

My last baby was quite a journey but you are there every step of the way, your sweet words and scolding me when am not eating, rub my back and legs and make me soup. You bath me and the baby for several days and we both sleep like baby after every bath. Indeed we will miss you Mma. A woman who is eager to do everything and anything to help others that is who you are Mummy Florence. The way you treated me is the way you treated so many people that comes your way, your arms and home is open to anyone and you treated us all like yours. Oooooh what a great woman of God  with great example of what is called LOVE, Mma will not give up on you with smile she will chase you. I love every time we spent together, talked, laugh, cry , cheeky …….

You will forever be in our heart , myself and household is consoled because we know you are in the right place now. May God be with the family you left, your wonderful husband, kids, the Church of God and everyone you have touched their life. Your legacy will forever go on Mma ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mummy, your love, your smiles, your discipline and the encouraging words. The time spent with you keeps coming- cherished memories. Riding to and from church with your family. I practically became your daughter. I remember planning my wedding with you, your gift of my wedding gown. You giving Sarah the bath (so glad I made a video) and me the massage after birth. You were always there whenever I needed to talk or needed guidance. We prayed together. So many memories mummy. I am especially grateful for the tight cuddles when you visited us in Cobram, you held me in your arms.

She lived well! Mummy, you are a blessing, thank you for the impact. Your legacy will go on Ma. Rest well Mummy ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dear Florence,
It was a privilege having worked with you as a colleague for a couple of year at Liverpool Multicultural Health Service. Your bubbly and cheerful personality was contagious. You will be deeply missed. I know you are smiling from above in God's kingdom now.
With lots of love and appreciation

I remember an encounter we had with Aunty Florence in Woolworth Mt Druitt over 15 years ago with our elder twin babies, she gave us some quick tips on how to save money for the family. She had actually finished shopping but took her time to stay back and have a chat; and did with great joy and enthusiasm. That encounter opened up a relationship with her family. We later visited her home to get more tips. An example of the kind of impact she had on people’s life. May God grant her wonderful soul eternal rest and comfort the family in this very testing period. Our loss is Heaven’s gain indeed.

A woman who was a believer lived in that city. Her name was Florence.....She did many good things and many acts of kindness. ... One day she became sick and died....Acts 16:36-37.

Mummy, you went to a better place.

We love you but God loved you more.
Sleep on.

My heart bleeds you told me you were feeling better and stronger everyday. You told me you couldn’t wait for the next time I was gonna visit, I was really looking forward to it. You were not just a mother away from home to me, but also my very good dear friend. We shared a lot! Our hours of call and chat, I still can’t stop going through your messages. Even while your strength was failing you, you never stopped checking on me, you made love so Easy and fun. You showed genuine love and care.

You stood by me two weeks ago when I was grieving and in pain. We prayed we prayed together. I never knew you would leave so soon. I’m glad I never held back from telling you how much I loved you and how much you meant to me. Your smile was everything!

You have lived a life of impact and fought the good fight of faith, I’m glad you’re in a better place with no pains. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace and I pray that God comforts every member of the family and all the loved ones in this difficult time.

You’ll be greatly missed and will forever be in my heart.

Rest in the Lord my dearly beloved ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gods ways are not our ways,
Aunty had the most beautiful soul, always carrying love, kindness,warmth and that beautiful smile to everyone around her. I remember my 12th birthday she gifted me with the most beautiful pair of golden earrings and I wore those earrings with the biggest smile on my face

A mother is a very special person, and there is no one else who is so dear to our hearts. I pray the lord comfort your hearts in this time of grieve. My most sincere condolences to you and your family.

We had come into RCCG Jubillee centre on our first Sunday in Australia after searching through the internet for the closest church to us.After the service our beloved pastor and his wife came to welcome us.One thing that was striking about our mummy was how cheerful and charming she smiled while welcoming us.We became her adopted children all through our stay in Sydney till we left.Even after leaving she kept reaching out like a mother does to her children abroad.she still believed one day we would come back to Sydney ( which was her wish before we left the country).The news of your passing on to glory was and will continue to be heartbreaking to us but we would not mourn like people without hope.We take solace in the fact that you left for a better place where there is no pain.We thank you for all the love you showed us for the brief time we spent together.Your memory will be in our hearts till we meet again to depart no more.God bless your soul.We pray to our father in heaven to give Pastor and your children the courage to continue the race to the end.Once again we say thank you for all the love.Continue to rest in perfect peace Mummy Olugbemiro.

My prayers are with the entire Olugbemiro dynasty, especially the immediate family of the deceased at this time of grief, I pray God blesses and comforts you during this difficult time, may the Lord equip you all with the Comforter (which is the Holy spirit) to be able to bear this grief, may the Lord blesses you all from Zion and make His face to shine upon you all.

Let us comfort ourselves with this words of this hymn,

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.

"When peace like a river, attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul

It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul!

It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul."

Pastor Paul Adewole Akinmade.

When the Night falls

When words fall and words fail
When tears drop and tears dry
When dreams grew and dreams shattered
When goals are made and goals are marred
When we never see but to meet again
When we design and to be redesigned
When the night falls and morning comes
Designedbyflorence remains in the heart, even much more the creator of smiles in the faces of many
When we never know and we know much more that your impact remains till the end
When cloud passes by and rain falls
When we leave this side and go to the other side
When we miss a soldier when they gain a conqueror
When we shared tears and they rejoice in laughter
We might miss you now but the truth remains, when the night falls, we will rejoice in the morning after.
