Dear Nkoli,

 

CONDOLENCE MESSAGE FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR FATHER

I write to commiserate with you over the demise of your beloved father, High Chief B.N. Ilechukwu who passed away recently.

I pray that you and all your family members shall find solace in the fact that he lived a fulfilled service-driven life.

It is a divine blessing that he lived to see his children’s children. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family at this time and always.

When a person leaves, a part of us leaves too. He will be missed and I pray for strength to you and your family to bear the loss.

 

“The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord”. May his gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord.

Accept my sincere condolences, my dear sister.

Iduu Ekwueme Sir, Kedu ka-Imere?
It's exactly two months today, yet it's like yesterday since you passed.
We are writing our tributes to you Dad as a living soul because we understand that we never lost you.
Death is subtle, but even life isn't any different. Your passing has thought us that death isn't something to be afraid of.
A transition to glory isn't something to morn for, and so we celebrate you Dad, for you deserve more than that. The life you lived was that of a warrior, and knowing how much you battled your health during your lifetime, how many times you fell, how many times you were rushed to the hospital, only for you to get back and start dancing is more than amazing. The struggles of live trew arrows at you and all you did was laugh, clap your hands and sang praises to God.
What a fearless man you are Dad
There are no farewells Dad, but "auf Wiedersehen". I have no doubt about seeing you soon in heaven where you are right now guiding, watching, smiling and laughing with us, calming us down and giving us hope, where you have gone to prepare our place for us.
Destiny calls can most times be very challenging and heart breaking, if we do not understand it, we only suffer, but no matter how dark dying seems, it always has a whiteness in it. Heroes rise and fall. Heroes come and go. You are the Hero who rose and lives on.
Dying can be blissful and exciting, especially when we know where we are headed, but it's grand essence only become known to us when we do finally die. For when we die, we see this darkness taking us to lightness, we feel this lightness like a weightless body, we experience peace of nature, the true love of nature, for when we die, we didn't actually die, WE LIVE.
So my dearest great and beloved Dad, The Iduu Ekwueme 1, Nwaeze the prince who is known for never starting a speech without an Igbo proverb. I will miss you, pls stay in touch and do enjoy the warmness of the arms of our Lord.
Auf Wiedersehen Iddu my Daddy.

Hallo Dad, I may not be able to see you at the moment but I know you are still with us and will forever be.
Your passing affected multitude of people, and shows how much you reached out and touched peoples lives in so many different ways. Your uniqueness is mostly seen in your smiles and funny nature.
I will never forget the way you always call me Ble Ble and greet me in my own language saying "Vbéé oye hé" (which means how are you) and you will always win trying to prove that you speak it better than I do.
Daddy, I miss you, everyone misses you and will always do. It brings a huge consolation to us knowing that you are at peace and forever Happy.
We love you Dad.

Daddy was a man like no other, if love, humility and compassion had a form in human then it was Him, He was an icon worthy of emulation, a true definition of what a family should be like. He was a hero, a strong support system, a hardworking and strong individual who was always there for his family. Family meant so much to him, I can tell cos of the many times I visited the house as a kid even the last time I came to the house in the year 2020. He was selfless, he lived for others always willing to help, he was highly principled and stood firm for what he believed was in the general interest of everyone. Daddy rest in peace and may God comfort Mommy and give Her the strength to bear your loss. Amen

I SHARE IN YOUR GRIEF
Death is an inevitable end, For Mark Twain, 'The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. Death and life are two brothers that do not co-exist. The first is the terminal end of the later. Little wonder, Shakespeare calls death a necessary end that must come when it should.
I share deeply in your grief Makarii, I can imagine what you are passing through this moment of grief. Papa lived a good life as a Christian worthy of emulation. I reminisce with a nostalgia, sometime in 2020 when he came to see his new grandson, Chizazirim. I watched with admiration, how he took his time praying and blessing the child.
Tears roll down my cheek, the day I learnt he is no more. God rest his soul.
My sincere condolences to you Makarii, my dear colleague, friend and a sister. May God grant you all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

Tribute to a Dad who lives after he dies

Life is eternal and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon. And a horizon is nothing save the limits of our sights.
The life of one we love is never lost. Its influence goes on through all the lives it ever touched.

The above suppositions are consoling, yet I was not consoled until I heard your voice saying these words "Don't grieve for me, for now I am free; I'm following the path God laid for me. I won't be far away, for life goes on. Just listen with your heart and you'll hear my love all around you. You prayed for life and God was so generous to give me more than life......Eternal life".


Dad, my mind still talks to you. My heart still looks for you. My soul knows you are at peace.Your loving memory will ever remain a monument in our hearts.You are greatness personified. Your contributions to community development were first-class. You made everybody happy; you mentored a good number of us into greatness. You were not the only great one; you made all of us great too. Thank you for a life well spent.

“When I remember my dad, I smile each time. He was a jokester and he made us all laugh. He taught me not to take life too seriously. He was always in good spirits, even until the day he died. Even though he was in great pains, he smiled and was so happy participating and worshipping God from his sick bed during the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass and while receiving the Sacrament of the anointing of the sick. The next day, after not been able to talk or say a word for weeks, he screamed the Holy Name JESUS and went with Him whom he saw and called".

Daddy, your selfless and untiring services to God in His Church, especially, St. Paul's Catholic Church Owerri Imo State, and to humanity are inspirational and motivational legacies immotalizing your name. Hence, being the best of me and becoming the better version of you is the best tribute I can offer to you Dad.



Iddu Ekwueme I of Ihiala;
Papa Fada Ka Chi Foo !
Keep resting among the Saints of God till we meet there.





Your son
Rev. Fr. Ilechukwu Thaddeus C

My darling husband "D" as we have always called each othe for all the years I spent by your side. 

The truth is, I have seen men but you are a Man, in every sense of the word. 

I met you when the highs were low and side by side we fought.....and fought.....and we fought, fighting to build a life together, fighting to survive in such a world as the very one we live in, fighting our differences as humans, and more especially, fighting as a husband and a wife. Your bravery thought me how to be a lioness and I can never be prouder.

D'm , every morning as we say our daily prayers, its you that I remember, when I look towards your position, I visualise you in the bosom of our Lord. 

D'm, every night when am about to close my eyes , I know you are smiling beside our Lord, and so I have no fear knowing that you are safe and happy...with that knowledge,  I will now carry on the fight, to keep together our children, grandchildren and forth coming great grandchildren and the great world we have built together. I love and miss you D, and I always will. Rest peacefully.

Your beloved wife, Lady Augustina A. Ilechukwu ( LSM).

Dear Msgr Pius, Frs Thaddeus and Bonaventure and entire Ilechukwu family.

I commiserate with you on the death of your beloved father, brother and uncle, High Chief Boniface Nwaeze Ilechukwu. Please, accept my profound condolence and prayerful wishes.

The death of a loved one brings pain and a sense of loss, especially when we remember the love shared with the person. Surely, Chief Boniface will be missed, but be consoled that he lived a fulfilled life; and was an examplary Christian, husband and father. May the words of the Scripture: "the souls of the righteous are in the hands of God and no torments shall shall ever touch them" (Wisdom 3:1), be your bedrock of consolation, vigour and peace.

May the soul of Bonafice rest in peace. Amen.

I can't forget that fateful Saturday morning that you gloriously departed this earth, it's still evergreen in my memory and I only wish it was a dream.
Iduu, I lack the appropriate dictions to describe the special love and care you showed me and also extended it to my family. You never discriminated nor hate anyone. You showered all that came close to you with love and words of advice. A dedicated and devotional Christian, your daily slogan can not be forgotten in a hurry.
Truly 'Jesu mere gi ebere, Virgin Maria nyere gi aka.
Adieu Iduu
Farewell my father in-law.

Big Daddy as we fondly call you. Sometimes we came from school, other times from church straight to the house and to the hospital, to see you. How we will always dance for you and the heart melting smiles on your face as you watch us in amazement. Big Daddy, who will call us onye ocha Nna ya di oji. We will miss your warmly hugs.

It is not every time you meet someone in life and they have qualities that no other person you know posses, that was the uniqueness of Chief. Chief was someone you felt will always be around because he was a larger than life figure. But the truth is this, he is, and will always be around because he is a larger than life figure.
Continue to rest with our lord Daddy. We now have a cheat code in Heaven. When ever we need something, we can ask Daddy to whisper it in Gods ears for us sharp sharp.

I will miss you dearly and I wish there was more time. But I know that a day will come that will see your cheeky smile and mischief filled eyes once again,I miss you so much dad

  My loving, caring and happy Daddy, am so lucky, happy, and grateful to God for sharing your gene which makes you forever in my life and to be with you till you're 80 and counting "spiritually". It breaks my heart each time I try to acknowledge that physically you are no longer with us, you are so fun to be with. Thank you for everything and for the spotless and priceless gift you always give me which was your SMILE that puts smile on my face (I miss it so much ). To behold your last smile on your sick bed while holding your hand means and says a lot to me, and my humble response to you was; you are always welcome Dad.
  I am blessed to have fought side by side with you during your last days on earth as a HERO, LEGEND and KNIGHT that you truly are. I must express "You are indeed a strong and incredible father. You also taught me how to pray , sing and dance. You are my first nanny, doctor, teacher and a lot more, your sweet memories put together in a book will make the largest and the most interesting book ever written. Agbazue eriko onu, Agbazue anuko onu, Agbazue amuria, Agbazue edozie, onu n' ekwuru ora, dike nna m ROYAL NWAEZE, jee nke oma.

Hi Chief daddy, it's me Nancy your adopted daughter. You remember me right? Vina's neighbor turned sister. I remember the very first time I met you which was few months back, you were so fun to be with and full of laughter. I came with sis Vina to the house and we were going to the market. Then you told me I should get you something from the market which I promised jokingly. Then later that day, you called Vina and was telling her that I made you a promise which I haven't fulfilled hahaha. I met you a second time and then a third and many more times. You were such a handsome man even at your age which I never failed to tell anyone that cared to listen that I have a new dad who's so handsome at 80. I only wish we had longer time to spend here on earth but it's rather unfortunate we have to say goodbye already. I prayed for you to stay longer with us so you'll keep cracking your sweet jokes and dancing for us but God couldn't wait to have his Angel back so He took you. We're happy you're in a better place away from every sorrow and pain. Just know that you have a daughter in me and I'll make sure I'll keep taking care of my big sis Vina and be strong for her because she's been broken ever since you left. We love you but God loves you more. Rest easy Chief Daddy. Till we meet again❤️

Soledad, my one and only Dad. How my siblings will always send me whenever they want something from you. How I managed your office for months when you had eye surgery. On my wedding day, I missed you walking me down the aisle, because you were completely down,but we drove straight down to the house and had that reception dance in your sitting room. Your prayers will never depart us. Your encouraging words goes straight to the heart. I love you my HERO.

It's been 11 days since the 17th, and everyday I wake up wishing that I could take back the hands of time. I wake up feeling sad that I'm moving further away from the day I saw your last. It still feels like a dream daddy. It's a reality I really haven't accepted, not yet, but I'm trying, we are all trying to stay strong through this, for you Dad. We love you endlessly, until we get to see you again.

Distance was a barrier for you to be part of my daily life, but I enjoyed the little moment I spent together with you. Your dancing steps always made me laugh. I looked forward to visiting you again, but I didn’t know you will be gone soon.
Thanks for the quality of love and life you gave to my hubby. You will always be my special hero. I will get to see you again someday in heaven.

Goodbye big DaDdY

I still hear your voice dad, everyday. I know I might not be seeing you in a very long time (which is a very hard and harsh reality to accept), but your memories are so fresh and vivid in my mind and it's because you are still here, I know you are. I tell myself that you traveled and you'll be gone for a while, but I know I will see you someday. My heart is sore and will be for a very long time, with all these different emotions that I'm trying so hard to navigate and live with, but I'm glad I can find some consolation knowing that where you are is a better place than this cruel word. No pains, no stress, no sorrow, just pure BLISS. You're a living LEGEND and there can never be two of you. Iduu Ekwueme!!! I love you so dearly DADDY. 

Ps: I promise to write you regularly.
