Can't believe it has been 7 years! I still wish we took a picture, the last time I saw you, and we were gisting forever outside Chocolat Royal in Lagos! You were just such an unbelievable person.....I miss you A LOT! At our reunions or on the ISI Class of 1988 WhatsApp Group, I sometimes wonder - Gosh! I wonder what Funto would have said or done! You were a leader, and unifier. Hardworking and passionate and loved by uncountable people. Continue to Rest in Perfect Peace my dearest friend. I am so glad for so many great, fun memories for the 30 plus years that I knew you....And one of your nephews reminds me SO MUCH of you! I tell Seinde all the time....

Not a day goes by, dear aburo, without thoughts of you crossing our minds. The gaping hole you left in our hearts will never be filled. We have realised that the pain won't ever go away fully, it'll only get dull at the edges. We're learning to live with it.

Ever since you passed away, the days go slowly by, and the hardest thing to cope with is never knowing why. That I don’t understand and maybe never will. However those special memories of you will always bring a smile.
The memories we shared remain evergreen and will be held close to our hearts till eternity. Some day, we'll be together again; the three musketeers that we are, blazing swords and sharing our pains and joy.
Till we meet to part no more.

My darling Funsie as I would call you there's not a passing day that memories of you would not cross my mind, be it your smile, your crude jokes or the loving gestures of friendship and kindness you poured into my life. I will hold thoughts of you till my dying day my sweet and loving friend. I still believe we will meet again in our next life. Wherever you are may your soul continuously rest in perfect peace.
All my love

Funto, I'll miss seeing you. Whenever we met, I was always impressed by your optimism, dynamism and energy. Our Lord, Jesus, said that the reason for His coming was that we may have life and have it abundantly. And my observation is that you made the most of the opportunities presented by your environment and you encouraged us all to take bold steps and do likewise. Your efforts towards the upliftment of others was in effect a service to our Lord.
May the seeds of positivity you have sown in the lives of those impacted your life continue to bear fruit to the glory of God: Rest in Peace, Funto.
