It's been three years and it feels like yesterday. Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus, till we meet and depart no more.

Mummy, I wish I could tell you a lot; how I feel. It hurts that you’re not around. It hurts so much… I miss you everyday. I love you mummy. Mummy, mummy, mummy…

Maami! That I don't miss you is an understatement. It's 3 years already and yet your departure is just like a dream.Your Children are doing great. Iwaju ti e koju si ko ni baje, beeni eyin ti e fi sile ko ni baje. You're fondly remembered mummy

Keep on resting in eternal peace grandma.

I still listen to the voice notes you sent to me.

You're UNFORGETTABLE!!!

I love you, mummy.

Pls look back ... anyways, I know you can see the seeds of what you have sown ... thank you for this ultimate sacrifice!

Today makes it a year that you left us,

Dear Mummy,

It's a year today since you slept.

Thank you for the life you lived.

Thank you for the sacrifices.

Thank you for EVERYTHING.

I MISS YOU.

SORELY!

I LOVE YOU, MUM.

SLEEP ON TILL THE RESURRECTION MORNING.

Mommy, it has been 1 year since you left this sinful world. We really miss you Mommy….. each time I see my darling sister Nike and Stephanie, I remember you Mommy. May your soul continue to Rest In Peace ma. Lots of love from Abidemi Ogunsola & family

Sleep on, 'my neighbour'.

Dear Momma,

Yesterday was your 69th Posthumus birthday. We would have loved it to have been your birthday but we couldn't help that, rather, we committed your body to mother earth as the custom is.

I take solace in the fact that you are with Jesus. Rest on, my mum. I loved you.

I still do!

Till we meet to part no more, continue to rest in the bossom of our Lord Jesus Christ. We will always miss you ma

How I missed to try speak with you when I visited Nike. God knows I was willing to hear your voice! Now you are gone, I pray God grant us all, fortitude to bear your demise.

You were a jovial, caring, and loving mother. Your warm welcoming captured our little hearts with those delicious snacks...nothing better than loving other children. This has kept us all together till date!

The memories of being around you and your words of advice will always be cherished.

We find solace in God that you are resting in the Lord Jesus. Continue to rest in the Lord's bosom 'Mummy Oduola. We love and miss you!

My dear Aunty!
I will forever remember you with fond thoughts of your motherly care and affection towards me.
The content of your conversations with me, your texts and voice notes reflect the depth of your loving and genuine heart.
Much as I sorely miss you, I am consoled by the assurance of meeting you again on the resurrection morning, where we shall no longer part.

Good night my dear Aunty!

Mummy mi!! Iya mi tooto!!!

You left me no clue that you were going to be with your creator. I wish you looked into my eyes when I called on that fateful day you left this world, maybe I would have had a clue.

I remember the last call you made to me on Feb 3rd, 2021. You always wanted to hear from me. Who will call me often like you always did, maami? I will miss you forever!

“My baby”, as you fondly called me, LOL. I wish you're still around to share my testimonies with you. You know everything now. I am sorry I couldn’t share my pains with you, and that was because of your health.

Thank you for all the love you showed me, my GOLD. Thank you for guiding me into the right path of Christ, whom you preached till you passed on. Thank you for all your prayers even till death. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made because of me. Thank you for mentoring me in my career path. You made sure I followed your footstep in career. I LOVE YOU, MUMMY.

I went through a letter you wrote to me in 2015. In the letter, you said, “se o feran mi? Then se nkan to ma a mu inu mi dun.” Mummy, I promise to always make you proud.

Rest on, mummy.

Good night Aunty Tolu,
It is with honour and privilege that I pay tribute to my dear cousin Tolu Oduola.
She was more of a senior sister to me than a cousin. We thank God for her beautiful life. She was a very generous and jovial person. She was a pillar of support to many. kind hearted and had touched many lives within the family and Community.
Her goodness shall be celebrated for generations to come. A good woman never dies, neither her works.
Her life has been a blessing to many people. Her good works has been an inspiration to many. She was an embodiment of love to all. She was a woman of dignity and amazing character.
She feared God and served him and humanity selflessly. She led a good Christian life worthy of emulation.
The world will miss her without doubts.
She was very close to my late brother and myself. Although we are cousins. we relate to each other like brother and sister because we grew up together.
It is sad that such a good woman has left us.
We will miss her very Dearly.
We forever cherish her memories.
Welldone Aunty Tolu.
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Abiyamo tooto, I received the news of your demise with great sadness. I remember how welcoming you always were to us and how you treated us like your own children.

I remember one time you helped braid my hair in secondary school and how you were complimenting the texture of my hair. I remember the cakes and sweet goodies you would treat us to every time we dropped by.

Truly you were a great mother and will be seriously missed. We take solace in the fact that you are now resting in the bosom of the Lord, where we will meet to part no more.

We love you but Jesus loves you more. Rest well mummy.

Deep down, I still don't believe you are gone. I became motherless at a tender age, and I was shattered and hopeless, but since the day you welcomed me into your home as one of your daughters, I felt happiness in me as I had someone I could call "mother."

You went out of your way just to make everyone around you happy. You were generous with everything you were blessed with.

I will forever remember you for all the lessons you taught me.

Mummy, I miss you and will forever miss you.
SUN RE ooo
Your daughter, Aminat

I commiserate with the family of my late mum!Mama Oduola fondly called in Rccg Overcomer Parish where she attended till her last breathe,was my mother in the church.She really loved me and look forward to hearing progresses about me and other members of the church.She did contribute towards the growth of the church and her characters are worthy of emulation.I pray baba and the entire family receive fortitude to bear this great and sudden loss.Rest on till we meet again,Mama rere!!!

It was never a dull moment with mummy. She was a mother to many and always interested in everyone’s progress. She was an empath that believed it should be well with everyone. Her departure was shocking and sudden. It is my believe that you will find eternal rest in the bossom of Almighty!
May your soul continue to find rest forever!

My dear sister,

I am deeply distressed about your demise. It still feels like a dream. You never showed the sign. While on the hospital bed, we still had our gists like ever. On the very day of your passing, I saw your hands suddenly swayed about, typically in a few seconds. That demonstration felt strange. I immediately tapped you to ask why. You said you were only praying. But could that be the sign?

Sadly, that was your last moment on earth.

I can't forget too soon how you always cared. I visited you very often in Ibadan and I never left the way I came. I would never forget the yearly Christmas and New Year packages. You always cared and showed concerns in every ordeal I had. You bore the grief of my widowhood.

You will be sorely missed, Sìstá Tolú.

While it's hard to let go, I am comforted that at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven, we will meet again to part no more.

Rest on.


Your dearest Sister

In the bosom of our Lord Jesus, there you rest.
Resting from your labours,at home in our Father's kingdom.
RIP Grandma!
Till we meet again;
The memories of the two times I met you lingers forever...

I had an encounter with mummy Oduola through her snacks Leke sold to us back in those days at Wesley college of Science, Elekuro. I remember those delicious and sumptuous snacks especially the chinchin which I loved most, this confirms that Leke’s mum was a good cook while she was alive.

May her soul continue to Rest In Peace ....Amen!

It’s hard to put into words how I feel. Of course the natural emotions of loss and nostalgia are all over me, but there’s something else:

The last words you spoke to me on phone is something I will never forget. You kept telling me that there's nothing more important in this world than ETERNITY.

You beseeched me to always be in my best behavior, and you preached ETERNITY to me. I never knew those were your last words, even though I couldn't get the chance to see you again afterwards.

I will never forget all your good deeds including the turkey you gave us every Christmas for many years.

Even the people around us who never met you talked about how you've been good and generous to us.

It is hard to believe that the Angels have carried you home at a time we least expected. We hardly take in the fact that your sudden demise has unexpectedly terminated the moments we enjoyed with you. I do wonder if we will ever find anyone to take your place! You left a hollow no one can ever fill halfway.

Rest on Auntie! We shall meet again!

It's really sad to hear that you are gone. I will really miss your voice
And I wish I could taste your chinchin and poof poof one last time, you will always remain in our hearts forever. Rest in perfect peace mama
❤ Your grand daughter, Busola

My 'neighbour', it was the news of your demise that woke me up, the day I heard that rather sad news. We can only take solace in your Creator who felt it was time for you to return home. Adieu my 'neighbour'. Till we meet on The Resurrection morning.

Words won't flow.

We lost a gem!

Mother like no other... Passionate, selfless, hardworking, support system.

We thank God for the life you lived mummy. We will meet on the resurrection day.

Goodnight to a mother in a million!

Irreplaceable Yeye mi
Abiamo tooto
You were the truest, dearest, and kindest mom I could ever have asked for.
You stood by me for years after my mom passed on.
Some love others but not as much as they love themselves
But you loved others more than yourself.
You loved us at your own expense
What a mother!
Now you are gone and left a very big vacuum
You left too soon
You passed when we weren't prepared.
The silence of that night was deafening
The clock stopped ticking

Forever, it’s still hard not to look for your hand to hold.
Even though you’re not here with us in the flesh, we still have you in our hearts and in our memories.
Thank you for giving me a replica of you in my wife.
We love you forever mom.
Sleep on yeye mi

Memories are there to remind us of our departed loved ones. I still remember how mummy used to correct our mistakes when we were little. Sleep well ma!

Mum, are there even the right words to eulogize you? You were a woman with a heart of gold. No, not because you were my mum, but because that's who you were! It feels so awkward talking about you in the past.

You 'served' me with the whole of your life. Mum, you should have waited a while longer.

Thank you for EVERYTHING. You understood my fears and saw even my unshed tears. Mummy, you left a great vacuum no one else can fill.

I'll miss you. I'm missing you. I love you, dear mother. May your soul rest in peace. Sleep on, mummy!

Adedoyin

It was a rude shock that you left this sinful word when we did not expect but we take solace that you are with the lord and we shall meet again . Keep on resting at the feet of our lord ma

Mummy , your memory shall forever lingers on ! Sleep well ma’am

We love you mommy but God love you more as you’re resting at the feet of Jesus. I pray that your soul will continue Rest In Peace IJN Amen. May the Lord grant the entire family fortitude to bear the loss IJN Amen

It still doesn’t feel real. and to be honest, i don’t want it to feel real. i can’t believe how fast you were taken away from me. i’ll never forget you grandma. the memories we shared and the time we spent together are very dear to me. i know you’re resting, looking after me and the rest of your grandchildren. you led a life full of love, care and joy. thank you for putting a smile on each of our faces. i love you so much. thank you for being my grandma

Mama l met your daughter Nike and she is like a sister to me , never met Ma but meeting Nike , tells me you were a wonderful Mama,Rest In Peace,The Lord will continue to comfort your family in Jesus Name Amen

Grandma was very special to me and everyone else
I miss her dearly, but I know that wherever she is now is a better place

-Ziyanda

While with us mommy, it was a gain!
now that you are gone, it is still a gain …
… thanks for this earthly trip mom, I will ride with you again, if possible ...

Wura mi iyebiye! You will forever live in my heart. Thank you for your love mummy ,I can't thank you enough for being there for me. I will forever cherish the memorial of you. My pain was your pain and my joy was your joy. That fateful day ,16th of February 2021, little did I know you were going to be with your creator that same day. Immediately I entered that ward, you started waving to me, instead of welcoming me, I read no meaning to this mum.
  Abiyamo tooto, I will forever remember and cherish your last hours on earth, right from that morning till 10:45 p.m, that you finally slept in the Lord! Iya mi, I will keep in my ‘left hand' all you told me. Yes, mum! Even on that bed, your Children's Unity and love among each other were your last Will and Wish . Sun re o . You were beautiful in and out, even at death! O death where is your sting and grave where is your Victory? Good night mum! - Oluwatoyin

At this point we can only thank God for the life you lived in Christ and the many lives you touched while with us. Rest on mama..

Yeye o bi mi (my mother in Ijesha dialect)

Oh how dreadful the day you departed this sinful and vain world! Just like yesterday! Who will call to check on me like you always did mommy?  Stephanie misses you so dear but she takes solace in the fact that God is taking care of you just in her own very words. The vacuum you left in my heart is forever irreplaceable. I love you mommy; adieu for now till resurrection day.

Adenike & Stephanie
