I still can't believe you are in heaven. I just spoke about you twice this past week - Sunday and Tuesday. I miss you terribly.
I had special news in recent months and wanted to share with you but couldn't. You left a great void with your unparalled kind heart and persona. You were a bright light that could never be quenched.
I miss you terribly. Love always.
Your 'Chicago' Son.

I miss being able to just call you just because and hear your kind voice. I still hear your voice. I visited daddy while in Nigeria last year. He misses you. I miss you TERRIBLY!!!
Rest on in the bossom of our Lord till we meet on the resurrection morning.
Shalom

Continue to rest in peace.
I pray that God Almighty in his mercies, strengthens all those you left behind. In jesus name. Amen
You are forever missed. Feel so sad to remember you are a year dead so soon. Just like yesterday. Rest on in the bosom of your Lord.

I was saddened to hear of your loss. You always showed me love and was very instrumental to my growth.
you will be forever missed
How true the scriptures are! Indeed your memories are blessed.
Prov. 10:7 - The memory of the just is blessed.
I remember you with such fond memories - lessons in humility, never thinking of yourself as being superior even though you were, not minding that I didn't quite pay enough visits or put enough calls through. You would still gently say "nle iya mi".
Rest on mum. See you on Ressurrection Morning.
We’ve lost a woman of substance, an arrow and a rock, a leader and a disciple, a woman whose very presence compelled truth, accountability and respect. A dignitary, in the truest, original sense of that word. Elegant, sometimes stern, but also humble and always kind. I don’t think the world will ever again see your like, Aunty Jane, such a singular woman, an exemplar in and of your time. They don’t make ‘em like you anymore! We miss you already - but there is so much of your life that’s worth celebrating, I take comfort in that.
We all should be so deeply proud to have called her wife, mummy, sister, friend, teacher, aunty...
Aunty Jane! You did good. Rest in peace, the seeds you sowed will live on, your legacy will live on!
You are a mother or Aunty to many, a mentor, supportive, loving but i graduated from Aunty Janet to calling you Mummy. You loved Jesus and loved to praise. Any opportunity you had to praise, you took, always saying thank you, Jesus! I still remember how you danced away at my wedding and your taking the time to join me to celebrate my birthday despite the short notice. I love your childlike spirit , always smiling, teasing, laughing, mischievous, whispering something into my ear, pinching when naughty and yet very forgiving with a big heart . I saw you in December but didnt know that would be the last time, you shared your Ogi with me. I am grateful to God for that time. Miss you!
CONDOLENCE MESSAGE ON THE PASSING OF MUMMY JANE ALERO OHIWEREI
It was a great shock to us to hear that Mummy passed on March 21 of this year. We heard the information much later and none of our efforts to reach you since then did succeed. We could also understand why we could not.
We know dearly beloved Daddy that you would be in a great grief at this time. Having spent the best of your lives together. This loss would be clearly irreparable and irreplaceable for you.
We can only commend you to the comfort which only the Holy Spirit can give to you and the children at this time. Indeed, the whole of the RCCG church global community mourns at this time and we share a little bit of your sorrow, knowing how wonderful and cheerful Mama was to us all in her life time.
It is a pity we cannot be at the funeral ceremonies but we pray that the Lord’s Presence be mighty at this event and with you and other members of the family from this time on.
We love you Daddy and we trust that all would be well. We take comfort in the fact that we all must depart this world one day and only those who finish well like Mummy Jane deserves to be commended.
We borrow the words of the great Apostle Paul who said:
I have fought a good fight. I have finished my race. I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid for me and all that is left for me is a crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous Judge shall give me on that day…and not to me only but onto all them that love His appearing. 2 Tim. 4.7-8.
We are glad that Mama is counted among those that love the Lord and His appearing.
Your son
Dele Olowu, AGO, RCCG Europe.
On Behalf of all of us on the RCCG Covenant Community on the Europe Mainland Continent.
May her soul rest in perfect peace in the loving bossom of our Lord Jesus.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How time flies? Its already four full years! We miss you, your smiles and your sonorous voice in praise to your Lord. It is gladdening that you are now in the bossom of your Lord whom you cherished.
We look forward to seeing you in glory. In the meantime, we continue to follow the Lord as closely as you and Papa did. It shall be well with all that you left behind in the Lord's great and mighty name.
It was with great sadness when i learnt about your mum's passing. I pray that the Lord comforts the entire family especially your dad who will miss her love, care and companionship. May the good Lord grant her eternal rest and you all the fortitude to bear the lost IJMN.
The things I will remember and treasure most are your smile and your belief in the achievement of all of us. By us, I mean all the kids you came into your home: From friends from school or nieces/nephews and children of long term family friends.
I remember as a teenager, I was always ready with an answer (any answer) for when I walked into your home because I knew you would ask me about what I was doing to move forward through this path called life at some point in the day. You always hoped and wished and prayed for the best for us and we all knew it .
You are and will always be a shining example of grace and strength - emoting both firmness and Love in equal measure and juxtaposition.
The memory that I will forever be grateful for was being able to spot your smile in an auditorium of thousands as I gave the commencement speech at graduation from university. There was a knowing nature to it and a sense of pride that you had in your own very specific and special way helped propel another “kid” to success. And you did. In small and large ways you did.
The stories of your affection will remain true and will keep you in our hearts forever.
I take solace in the knowledge that I still have an angel, a large smile and knowing angel who looks at us and makes us feel that we still have someone in our corner.
I will miss you! All my love
Chubi
You’ve made sure that I never forget you because the morning you left, my daughter came.
We will miss you but we rest knowing that you’re in a better place.
Good night mummy
Your love and generosity knew no bounds. My childhood memories revolve around spending time in the company of your family. You are the grandma we knew and have been there at each of mine and my sister's major milestones. When Tony and I got married, you graciously opened up your home to my in-laws and they not only got to experience Nigeria through me, but through the warmth and light of your presence. Also when i returned for a stint at LUTH, you welcomed me into your home again, just like when i was a child. You were a constant source of encouragement and strength when i was struggling to adjust to working in Nigeria. When i didn't want to go in and complained of some ailment or another, you would say "in service you will find healing" and send me on my way- one of the lasting lessons you taught me. I will always love you. Rest in God's arms. Till we meet again.

I became a member of your family and your children became my little sisters and brothers. I loved you all so much.
We laughed and cried together through the good and sad times. I will love you forever and for all the love you gave I am eternally grateful. My 21st birthday, you were there, the wedding, you were there, through the birth of all the girls you were there. You became their status quo grandma, the twins were your very first set of grandchildren and gave you the honorary title 'Mama'. It is no wonder the Lord blessed you with twin boys as your first set of grandchildren.
We spent so many hours in each other's company just talking about various things and I learnt so much through your honest appraisal of situations and things. You were truthful, direct, dependable, loving, caring and giving. You never stopped giving of yourself and your possessions. The very first company shares I purchased as a young doctor was paid for by you but 30 years later you could not even remember that you had done that. You were a selfless lady. An elegant lady in all its ramifications albeit filled with humility. You were a joy to behold at all times. I watched and learned several good virtues from you.
Sisi that is not to say you were not firm, but in firmness you were fair. Your honesty may not have been appreciated by all but believe me when I say the A.O.E Okorodudu clan looked up to you our big sister, a shinning example of what the leader of a group should be. You led by example. Your doors were always thrown open to welcome us and I am certain you know that though we may not have said it often enough we loved you and your wonderful family.
Most importantly Sisi, you loved the Lord who you came to know personally through your daughter Aidevo. She has been asleep in the Lord for many years now as has Ehinmigbai. I believe we will all meet at the foot of the Throne of Grace IJMN.
Sleep on beloved sister till we meet to part no more.
Love you loads.

Love you so much and will miss you, Rest In Peace Mum

Tell her I love her and I missed her. when she turns smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile lord and give her peace. Because remembering her is easy but there's an ache within my heart that will never go away. Thank GOD u made heaven. Rest in peace mother.
From Christian Ojeawe Atane
I only had the privilege of meeting you on a few occasions , but you left a lifelong impression on me with your firm but loving guidance of all of us that are Ekeinde’s friends. You wanted us all to grow up successful and responsible , and took it upon yourself to impart advice on us in our formative years, the exact same way you would your children.
May your soul rest in perfect peace knowing you made a difference in all our lives .
You were a true soldier for Christ. You used the beautiful gift of voice to praise and lead others to Him. Even in the face of adversity, you never waivered in your faith. What a remarkable woman you were!
When we say that words cannot describe the deep sorrow that we feel right now, it is not an overstatement. How does one even begin to describe the wonderful role you played in the family? There are not enough words. You were a pillar of support and a beacon of hope to all. The light of God always radiated in you. You were kind, gentle, caring and loving. Your passing is leaving a big vacuum and yes, you will be forever missed.
A great wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, inlaw, and friend, you were a role model to many. You have fought the good fight and have won the race. Heaven has welcomed home a saint. Rest well ma, rest well.
Fondly remembered by
Tony and Osato
You were indeed a mother to all of us, you look into our faces and ask how are you? How are your parents? Always checking on everyone. You never leave her house empty , she must give you something. You left your footprints in our hearts.
I think of you and remember our little chats and I smile. I take solace that you are in a better place with Our Lord.
We love you but God loves you more. Rest on our beloved.
You were a blessing to this generation! A charming woman of God that was full of life. You encouraged me for a very long time to get my songs recorded. Ma'am I did a song and sent to you via my wife. I am not sure you got to listen to it but I am so very grateful that I got something done before the lover of your soul (Jesus Christ) called you home. May the Lord continue to be with the loved ones you left behind. Good night Beloved of the Lord! My wife and I will greatly miss your ever smiling face.
It is hard to accept that reality but my wife and I take solace in the memories that makes the event less painful. What a lady and what a life richly spent for her husband, children, family and friends, but much more in God's vineyard. Mummy, you touched us all in many ways and the memories of you will never die, though your flesh be consumed by mother earth. We are comforted knowing that you are in a better place. Sleep mummy, sleep well in the bossom of your father.

Farewell to Elder (Mrs.) Janet Ohiwerei & Condolence to the Family
On behalf of my family and the North America Operations of RCCG, I express sincere condolences to the nuclear and extended families, and other loved ones, including the ecclesiastical family. The loss of a loved one is never desirable, and the passing of Mummy Ohiwerei is a heavy burden on our hearts. Words fail at moments like these. We choose to surrender to the will of our Sovereign God with heavy hearts and with the assurance of seeing Elder (Mrs.) Ohiwerei again on that glorious morning.
In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14, the Apostle Paul exhorts us “…not to be ignorant…about those who fall asleep [in death], that you may not grieve [for them] as the rest do who have no hope [beyond the grave]. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will also bring with Him through Jesus those who have fallen asleep [in death].”
We can therefore celebrate a fruitful life and the worthy legacy she has left behind. She was a very loving, affectionate, and steadfast woman, wife, mother, sister, and friend; a dedicated worshipper and an active RCCG chorister. We will be strong in the LORD and in the power of His might, encouraging ourselves in the Spirit of His Peace and fortitude. May the memories of her joyous disposition, strength and love for Christ bring comfort to us all, in Jesus’ most precious and matchless Name!
Yours in the LORD’s Service,
Pastors (Drs.) James & Manita Fadel

Always with open arms
Auntie Jane was just a pillar and a fountain of love. Her home was always open to one and all. If you were passing through or staying you would be well fed and cared for just like her own children. As a very young child I didn’t know the difference between her children and other relatives staying at her house. She treated all of us the same. Now that she is gone I pray for that same love and compassion to comfort her family.
She always had her arms open and May The Lord open his arms to you as well and welcome you. You were a true servant and you did your part.
I love you and May The Lord Bless your sweet soul.
Semi girl.
So dear a mother and a friend of God
I knew Mummy ever before I dreamt of joining the RCCG national mass choir at shekinah night where she will always be given an opportunity to sing at least 1 or 2 hymns and she sings it passionately, she loves hymns and it's shows in her attitude that she really loves God, she is down to earth and very humble..
Even at her age and status she still find time to come to the RCCG National mass choir rehearsals which is an all night rehearsals ..
She has gone to be with the lord, it's a loss for us but a gain to Heaven..
I love you ma
