TRIBUTE: UNCLE IDOWU SALAMI (Olamide Akinnuoye)
February 18, 2021
“I love you”
This was the last thing I had said to my Uncle Idowu. It was his birthday.
No one has the words to describe the shock, the pain,
and the hurt of losing our uncle, husband, father, son, brother, and friend.
Uncle Idowu’s LIFE was brilliant, beautiful, and wonderful! Full of laughter and delicious food that he was so skilled at cooking! I will also never forget your big & bright smile Uncle!!!
Uncle ID’s life must be celebrated by all of us!
Yet we must also hold near Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:4
“Blessed are they that mourn,
for they shall be comforted.”
Now though we mourn knowing that God blesses us through the tears, we are not in despair like the world, who mourn endlessly without hope, because we know that we will see you soon Uncle in Glory! I am so excited for that!
We wait with expectation.
We thank God for your life
Uncle Idowu!
Well I guess that’s all for now,
See you soon!
In Jesus name,
Amen.
