Mama Ronke, your passing is another reminder that your generation as parents, uncles and aunties is passing over and the responsibility is now ours to oil the wheels of our so much cherished blood ties for which you labored so hard to ensure that you were not left out in spite of the early passing of our loving uncle. You will be fondly remembered. May God grant you eternal rest and grant us as a family the strength to bear this great pain.

When I decided to write a tribute for Mummy, I had to pause for a while because I found it difficult to put my words together in writing. As this is really heartbreaking. I began to remember our last moment together recently in December while in front of her gate where we had heart to heart discussion. Unknown to me that was going to be the last time I will be seeing her.
Mummy took me as a daughter who was very free to discuss issues with me and confidently pray together with me. A great mother, principled, a disciplinarian, had zero tolerance for nonsense and raised her children to be God-fearing. She was a singer, prayer warrior (carrier of fire), a true daughter of Zion, a role model, a definition of faith and always after the welfare of the less privileged. She was going for the best when it comes to the education of her children. She was a virtuous woman as Proverbs 31 praises. I also remembered when she called to apologise for not attending one of our children's wedding because of her health status by that time and yet she sent envelope and promised that she will be in attendance for others. Alas, death took her before the time, but who can question God? I know she is in a better place, but the memories we share and her legacy will live forever. Ọmo Olokè kò moke, gígùn, Ọmọ Edu 'ule ahún. Ẹfon kú mòrè. Sún ré o. Ọya rẹ̀ kí ọ. Until we meet to part no more.

Dear mummy, I was shocked and still in shock to receive the news of your demise because I still wish to see you in your 80s, 90s and even 100 as you look so young and beautiful in your 70s but God knows best. God be with the children and the whole family you left behind. Sun re titi di ojo aginde mama. Much love ma.
