I write this tribute in anticipation that it gets to you , my friend Isaac Itegboje. For you have joined the cloud of witnesses.
You are trusted and trustworthy friend dear to miss, my brother Isaac;
I know you would not want me to sorrow like an unbeliever; for you put your trust in the Resurrection and life, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
However, we mourn in hope to be comforted by the Holy Spirit;
We know you are now comforted and refreshed in God's Presence;
For you often refreshed me and others; you have comforted quite many;
You have been a fellow pilgrim pleasant to travel with; You often capture pictures of fellow pilgrims to share memoirs in retrospect.
Now, you have a broader view of our on going journey.
Your love covers offences; for you know God's forgiveness.
Since you became my friend, you did not give up on me as you consistently be-friend others.
You are a constant friend all the times.
Thank you for your friendship worth my memoir for life;
Sweet is your memory; keep on sleeping, dear friend till we meet in sleep or when we wake up together.
From your friends: Oriyomi A. Oladeji & Adenike F. Oladeji (retired General Director, Scripture Union, Nigeria)
