De Grace it took me this long to write this because i dreaded the reality that you are gone. I will cherish those our long phone calls talking and laughing about everything. I cringe whenever i have to add your name to prayer for the dearly departed. But i take solace knowing you lived a good exemplary christian life. You were a good person through and through. You will be sorely missed. Continue to rest in Lords bosom till we meet to part no more.

If someone told me that I would be writing a tribute to you this day, I would not believe it. The news I received concerning your demise is something that I still can't imagine. Oh grandma, you were a strong woman, you loved the Lord with all your heart, you were so kind both in words and in deeds. Never for once have I seen nor heard you say anything bad about anybody, even when people provoked you, you would go to your alter and say a good prayer for the person. You prayed for your enemies.
Oh grandma, the memories with you are still stuck in my head and can never be forgotten, it's like a movie that goes on and on. I spent basically all my life with you to the extent that people would think that you were my mother. You were so young and you loved to be around young people, I was super proud of you Grandma and still am. You also loved education, even at your age, you'd still wake up at night just to read, you achieved so much in this life and I'm super proud of you Grandma. Oh how I wish death can be averted. Those nights you would wake up from your sleep just to anoint my forehead while I sleep, or how you would drive down to my school whenever I forgot my sweater at home, or how you would always drive me to school whenever I had early morning exams, or how you would tell me stories mostly about your life and when you were growing up. Anytime I travel, you always call every one hour of the journey to know where I am, you make my birthdays special, even when I don't feel hungry, you'd tease me and say, "I know you na, I know you just want me to help you," and then you'd go and make the food and bring to me. How you would always pray for me each time I want to leave the house, oh how I wish, I wish I can hear your voice just one more time. How I wish I can just hear you call me "Dabby" once more. You would always say the Holy Spirit is your bestie and can never be replaced, you'd also tell us to make the Holy Spirit our best friend too. You gave us so many advices one of which I can never forget, "hardwork plus prayers equals success". You loved me like a mother, you cared for me and showed me kindness. Oh grandma, you were just the best. You were admired by so many women and how they would always say they wished they'd be like you. You were a strong and elegant woman, a virtuous woman indeed, a woman of Faith, a rare gem. You showed love to people and you gave encouraging words to so many which helped them in one way or the other. Even at your dying bed, you still prayed for others, you wore your heart on your sleeves. You were the mother Theresa we saw here on Earth. I'll miss you Grandma but I'm consoled because I know you're in a better place, dining with the angels.
Goodbye grandma the grandma

De Grace, I find it difficult addressing you as someone who is late. I will always glance through my Whatsapp to see if you gave me a chat as usual. But it seems I will wait till eternity. Aunty, you became part of my family from our sojourn at Enugu. We are not only indigenes of Ihitte Isi Mbieri, but you became my mum's best friend, brides maid more than forty years ago and a mother to to my siblings. Aunty, you are the last of the Enugu entourage that has left this painful world leaving my family with so many unanswered questions. You became part of my academic journey but couldn't stay to share my successful story. De Grace, Mbieri has lost a priceless jewel and an academician! Prof, my family bid you farewell with pain and mixed feelings. Rest from the wickedness and thorns of this world. May the Holy Spirit your Greatest Friend lead you safely to God's presence for a peaceful rest. Fare thee well De Grace. Rev. Sr. Winifred Chinyere Uchehara DDL.

Mom,
I still can't believe you are gone. Why should a quintessential human being like you be taken away from us?
You had a magnetic aura, you drew people to you. You were kind.
A great educator, patient and enduring.
A mother to all. You nurtured me like I was your own son such that people thought you were my mother because the bond was strong.
Why didn't you wait to see the great man I will become?
You taught me love, forgiveness and patience. You taught me humility. You yourself had no airs around you.
We loved you greatly just as we are going to miss you greatly.
I can go on and on but words aren't enough to capture your angelic persona.
I feel nostalgic and I'll always remember you with teary eyes. I will honour you always by keeping the principles you inculcated in me.
You were a mother extraordinaire. Just like your name, you were an embodiment of GRACE.
I know you are resting in the Lord. I know you are with the angels. I know you have joined the heavenly choir.
Jee nke oma.
Adieu mummy

You were my sunshine.
You turned my life anew.
In my weakest,
You showered me with motherly love.
A love so pure and so true.
Now at my brightest,
My precious sunshine is gone.
I'm left to ask God why?
At my strongest,
You couldn't wait to see me succeed.
Before your soul chose to fly.

I am so glad I had one more chance in recent time to see you and enjoy some moments with you. Those are the memories I will cling on to. Journey in peace my dear De Grace. May your soul along with that of daddida and all the faithful departed Rest In Peace. Amen

TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED MOTHER, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR GRACE CHIKA DOMIKE.
-by Mrs. Chinwe Ewurum
Mom, it is difficult for me to find the right words that can relay what I feel in my heart for you. All I can say is that I count myself most privileged to have passed through your womb and to be nursed by you.
You were the mother Theresa I saw with my eyes, a peacemaker whose meek and humble nature remind people about Christ Himself. Even when what is due you was being taken away from you, like Jesus Christ you remained silent and prayed for those who hated and persecuted you. You loved everyone around you, praying and showing love to everyone that came your way.
Life was cruel to you, you suffered in the midst of plenty but your countenance and utterances never showed it because your Bestie, the Holy Spirit was ever resident in you and you obeyed His leadings. No wonder you were full of joy even on your sick bed. Those who spoke with you over the phone were shocked when they visited because your positive confessions and utterances on your sick bed did not rhyme with your physical state at the time. When I asked you "why are you quiet"? You would say " I am talking with my Bestie" and I remembered that when you were strong in the body, you always spent time almost daily at the Chapel. I remember how excited you were when your son Fr Mike hosted you in Abuja and gave you a room near the chapel, you told your grandchildren and I, 'my Bestie is my neighbor'. Those were your happiest moments in this wicked world.
You were my sister, my friend, my pillar, my everything. You were there for me in good times and bad times, you denied yourself pleasure for me to be comfortable. I won't say am alone in this world because you left me and my children with your Bestie.
Jesus family now has an angel in you interceding for us. My promise to you is that I will not let the legacies you left to die. I won't refer to you as late because you will forever live in the hearts of Jesus family (your grandchildren and I).

De Grace, I am and have been at loss for what to pen down. No words are enough to eulogize your person. Hard to believe I won't hear your gentle voice call me Bobo Bobo again. The way you loved and worshipped God only reassures me you're in a better place. You're loved even in death. Eternal rest grant unto you, o lord, and let perpetual light shine upon you. May the soul of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

Dede,i am bereft of words to express how pained i am to come to terms with the bitter truth that you are no more.I thank God for affording me the privilege to have you as a sister and also for allowing our parts to cross in the land of the living.I also thank God for allowing me the last opportunity to be with you during your last days at St Benedict monastery,Ewu,Edo state.The parting that day was well made and that is part of my consolation now that you are no more.Your simplicity,honesty,humility,modesty,above all your ABSOLUTE TRUST to the will of God almighty were second to none.You suffered so much deprivatiins,disappointments and monumental losses while you lived on earth but you accepted every experience with high sense of submission to the will of God and optimism. If there is a second chance,please always remember that all that glitters is not gold and at moments of FUNDAMENTAL DECISIONS caution should not be thrown to the winds.You persevered till the end.You won in death.You came,you saw,you conquered. TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
We depend on the Holy spirit for the grace to bear your departure. God be with you till we meet again. Amen
Adieu.

Grandma grace,
Since your junior sister & my grandma late Mrs franca ihuegbu died, you took up the role of a grandma and cared for me as a grand-son.
You we're a role model, caring and loving.

Goodbye is the saddest word I will ever say but it hurts me to say goodbye.
Rest in peace grandma.

Indeed you were an angel in our midst, your kindness and love couldn't be contained. Your love spread wide, touched and had a great impact on everyone in ways we could never imagine. Meeting you in this lifetime was a privilege I will never get to have again I pray we get to meet in another lifetime. Your kindness and joy was just too infectious, you are a mother to all and I only wish I had more time with you, more time to know you more and bask in the love and kindness you illuminate. We all miss you and wish you had more time with us in good health. Just because we can't see you doesn't mean you are gone, you shall live on forever because we shall carry you in our hearts and mind, that is true immortality. We shall carry on your legacy of peace, love, kindness and hard work, keeping our faith alive and strong in Christ because I know you are resting in his bosom, in eternal peace and happiness where you shall know no suffering or fear. We shall carry you everywhere we go as a reminder of the great amount of kindness and love we are capable of, as a teacher and as a mother. Watch over us as you rest eternal. I love you grandma, we all love you.

I only knew her for a couple of years, but in that little time, she was kind to me and always willing to help. She treated me as a son even though she barely knew me. She'd call me over to her house and offer me food and words of advice. She often prayed for me too. Even when I moved out of the neighbourhood she used to call to check up on me. I bless God for her life. She touched a lot of lives

I can't exhaust my experience with you as a person. You are an embodiment of grace, always ready to advise, direct and instruct where necessary. Your faith and commitment in your bestie is out of this world.
Above all, your life of humility is an example to all that encounter you.
My encouragement in all is, you have prepared your path to heaven before hand. I pray your soul find rest in the bossom of the Lord.
Rest on ma, till we see to part no more.
May your soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace,amen.

My Nne, my prayer partner, my heart is broken. I remembered the first day we met in calabar in my office with your friend. It was a great day and meeting a woman deeply inspired by the Gospel. You continue to encourage me even I left calabar for my formation in Rome and Kenya. I had so many challenges and you stood by me. During my many surgeries of appendicitis and spinal cord surgeries that kept me on the wheelchair you told me that God will make me walk again and today I am out of the wheelchair. Thanks to your prayers and support. Nne my heart is broken and I need someone to wake me up from this sleep and tell me it's not true that you are gone. Rest with the lord Nne. Rev. Peter Obi

At this juncture, it is noteworthy to mention that this biography of Associate Professor Grace Chikaogwu Adanna Domike will not be complete without acknowledging the major contributions of Professor Ernest Emeyonu and Dr. (Mrs.) Martina Ugorji while she lived as a mortal.
These two key figures helped to shape her key decisions that facilitated her achievements in life.

I can never forget the first time I met you, it was a fulfilling moment indeed. The kindness and welcoming spirit you showed is beyond words. We've never met, but yet you opened your loving home and warm heart to me and inspired me in ways I can't begin to describe. I remember driving right behind her till she got to church and I waved her bye bye!! She was so happy to see me and gave me some words of wisdom and inspired me with her struggle and success stories. Mma, you are superwoman, a woman of substance and I only pray everyone you touched will be inspired by you and aspire to reach greater heights.

I remember how she would fondly call me "baby" and I would say "I am not a baby" and she would respond "you are my baby".
Craving for a mother for most of my life, I met mummy Grace at Sacred Heart Cathedral in 2008. I did not speak to her right away. She would always sit a few pews in front of me. I watched her in silence. I knew her, but she was yet to know me. I was friends with Obum. I watched her at every Mass. She was beautiful. He laughter was like a warm embrace. She had impeccable style and she loved to hang around and speak with people after Mass.
I met her officially at the bus park on the day that Obum was to leave for Ibadan for NYSC. We chatted for hours, we chatted as though we were long lost friends. We talked and laughed. We talked about ASUU and about everything else. We laughed so hard. It was easy to love her. She was graceful and kind. She wore her heart on her sleeves. So we forged a lasting relationship that came to include many wonderful people on both sides of the family. Her friends became my friends and her family became my family. Her love and prayers followed me about, from Nigeria to Canada. She never stopped praying for me. She always let me know that I was loved. But it wasn't just me, it was everyone around her. She gave what she had in excess, a heart full of love and gratitude.
I remember speaking with Prof. Emenyonu in 2016 and he told me of the wonderful things mummy had said about me. She was kind. I am not sure what she exactly she had said to him but I know that good people bring out the best in all of us.
Being so far away from Nigeria, I have cried alone, wiped my tears and sniffled my sorrow away. There is so much the heart can hold and so I have created this memorial website to take what I feel from my heart and put it somewhere, while I share the beautiful memories of mummy Grace with all those whom she loved and those who loved her.
she had a big heart, she loved her family and friends. She loved people and she welcomed so many into her heart. The song you hear in the background was her favourite song. Jesus was her anchor. She always spoke about the holy spirit as her friend and comforter. She knew that she was loved and she made sure that she spread her love to touch everyone.
Her passing may never be real to me, being so faraway, all I had left was her voice and our conversations over the telephone. All I have left are memories, beautiful memories. However, a voice deep in my heart tells me that she is at peace. She is at peace.
Rest in peace.
Rest in love
