Dear Funto, news of your passing shocked me greatly. I will always remember you with great fondness. You were so warm and easy going, I recall we were in the same class in JSS. I remember your bouncy walk and soft hair. You were always so cheerful with no wahala at all. Rest peacefully with God, my dear Funto.

I have fund memories of my childhood with you. Rest on sister! Although you are missed here on earth I know you would not agree to come back if given the opportunity. As a child of God, to be absent on this side of eternity is to be present with the Master...

My dear Funto the pain of your passing is beyond description. What can I say that will make any sense. Even now I close my eyes and remember you. They say God has a plan, but it’s very difficult to see that plan from down here with eyes full of tears.

Tido, anytime I tell people about you, I tell them how enthusiastic you were about God and spreading his message.
You pushed the boundary in so many ways that anytime I think about you, I always wish I'm making you proud.
You are my inspiration.

Funto, I don't know you, but with what I have read here, you share an uncommon similarity to my late wife who passed on over 10 years ago. Why do great people and lovers of God go home so early? I guess only God Himself has an answer for that. May your soul continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord. Agape!

Continue to rest in peace, dear friend. You sat behind me ss1 to ss3, and I can never forget you. Such a gentle soul, always puts a smile on everybody's face. You are one of the reasons I do believe that the very best of us leave this world early to go and be with The Lord. I also know that you left an amazing impression with the people you knew. Orun a ke o. Sun re o.

When Funto and I were assigned to the same desk in Sagamu, I recall wondering if it would be a good match. I wasn't sure I would get along with this thoughtful looking 'tomboy'. The year that passed was one of an amicable relationship, full of friendly mischief. Funto was calm, smart, and definitely made an impression on me. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Remember you very well from Sagamu days and whenever I think of you, what comes to mind is your smile, your walk, your "happy-go-lucky" nature. Not even one single negative thought comes to mind. You were just you, happy. Some things we never get an explanation for but knowing you walked with Christ here on earth you can only be in a better place indeed. Miss you

UR LAST WORDS TO ME

October 31, 2012

I remember few days before u died, u came to my house and u wanted to know why Christians die. You were really interested in knowing the relationship between dieing young and dieing before your time and how does one know that he/she has fulfilled his/her will on Earth? When i had of ur death, i then wondered if u knew ur time was here. I never suspected anything because u asked these questions with the usual charming smile beaming from ur face. I' ll in return ask u this questions when we meet again in glory. Did u know u were going to die?


The last day i saw u, i remember i asked u what was happening in the word circle, i said ' I don't understand what is going on, the other time i went to school and back, i heard of Psalm T's Death, now it's Chekube, Funto, What is the realm?', Suddenly u said u could be the next. Dele and i shouted at u, then u smiled and departed. About a week later, on a saturday, i went to 1004, was at Akins House, saw His Mum, i greeted Her, She responded reluctantly. I asked Moji of Akin..., she said 'he is in thier house, it's sad that she died just like that'. Then  said 'Chekube Shea'(thinking she was refering ti Chekube's death) she said ' Funto now! She died yesterday on her way to Gnet, they had an accident' It was too expensive to be a joke. I left the house in a hurry, only to remember on my way that i did'nt say bye to Akin's mum. I went back appologised and said bye, her eyes were full of tears, and she nooded.  Between Crescent D (Akin' s House) and Crescent C (Funto's House) that was a few metere apart looked like ages apart to me bcos while i worked down i remembered everything i knew about Funto and i said to me self, it's impossible, she cannot die, Moji most have been mistaking. As i approached her flat. i looked up and i saw a crowd of people garthered in front of her house, yet i still had hope. I told my self that they were there for something else. it cound'nt have been Funto's death. I confessed greatly! but sadly the deed had been done, i could not confess her back to life. All through the night i could not sleep, asking God why Funto had to go too soon. I don't have an answer yet but my only consolation is that it is for good.  


Funto! we'll always remember ur lovely smile.

 Oluwafunmito ( God has given me all) and indeed u gave ur all while u were with us.

Funto! the one we refere to as the first female President FECA VI never had.

Thanks for affecting our life.


Rest in the LORD!!!        

THE D-DAY

October 22, 2012

It all seems like yesterday, vivid memories fill my mind, when just around a bend, we bumped into the scene of an auto-crash, as we stopped to help, Alas! It was our very own people, gone just ahead, leading the trail to a holy convocation- Grace Network Campmeeting.
It turned out fatal and Olufunto had been caught in the very midst of it.
I can remember how calm she looked, so peaceful that I did not think death
When it dawned on me, I sneaked into where she laid and prayed over her in hope that she would be raised, but it had pleased the Lord to call her home and this, she considered better.

Mine was the unenviable task of breaking the news to her folks, as mum and brother- Tope arrived the Baptist Hospital in Ogbomoso, Mum asking " Olufunto mi da, ki lo se Olufunto mi?" and Tope "Is she dead? Just tell me" confused, I pointed to the morgue in response to mum and to Tope, I nodded yes. Amazingly, mum started worshipping while Tope stooped in silent groans.

Through it all, Olufunto fulfilled the desire of Apostle Paul- “...that Christ be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or death..." Olufunto's demise did not result in depression like one would think, on the contrary, it fuelled a revival in Christ Herald Assembly,OSU. Conviction fell upon many; a lot of people became more fervent & dedicated than they had ever been hitherto.

Olufunto was a rear gem, a lady of unquestionable character, bold as the Lioness and passionate for the gospel in an uncommon way. She sang, played the Keyboard, acted drama, active in outreach, functioned in media & communication and the list goes on. She had been greatly missed since then.

Our comfort & hope however, is the fact that she served ‘The God of the Living’ and right now she’s present with Him and someday soon, we all shall be changed and ever more be with the Lord.
