Linda, the Law! I still find it hard to believe that you are gone. It is painful to be among the first receivers of this strange call that had left me dreaming since March 1, 2019. I have prayed to wake up to better news but to no avail.
It was indeed a rude shock to all of us, your colleagues at Katchey Company Limited. You were so calm and friendly to everyone; you tried to make all around you smile.
God will sure keep the family you left behind.
We will forever miss you. Please rest on in hope of the resurrection morning.

Lindaratti, like I was always called you. Funny and down to earth! You were never moved by anything/issue; what moved others, made you laugh instead. You were unique in your own way - the way you spoke, dressed, carried yourself. Everyday, I always see things around my house that reminds me of you.
Lindaratti, rest on in the bosom of Christ.
You will be sorely missed.

In this life so full of pretence,
If only we valued life a little more.
If only we loved a little more genuinely.
Just maybe, most probably, it won't have been this way.
You have a heart of gold. Even the least cadre at work testifies how you treat them first as humans.
Words fail me. Its has been a very bitter pill to swallow. It has been most difficult to say good bye.
Rest on, Linda.

Dear Linda, I'll greatly miss you. If tears could wake the dead, Linlin, you would have been back to life since. You came to me in dream twice, telling me you're not dead, I should take you to hospital, that has left me devastated since, if only this dream could come true. Rest on dear Linda, till we meet at Jesus feet.

Linda ogbeide, my sweetheart, was not just a wife to me but a friend, my standby, she was my best friend, she was one of a kind, a captain in her own rights, she was a remarkable mother to our kids, the best wife any man could ever ask for, God’s gift to me, a most loving and caring sister to her brothers and sister , she was a treasure of inestimable value to all who knew her, today she is with us no more, but her memories we hold dear and cherish. Always the perfect host Linda was kind and caring, it is for this reason we are here, to share that same love and kindness she showered on many in honor and respect of her blessed memory so that her good deeds and loving kindness may be felt by all, even those who never met her testify that her loss somehow hit them hard upon their hearing like they had known her for ages . She was, and always will be an angel. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. I love you. ( Husband )

Linda, ever smiling ever jolly. I’m still shocked.
You fondly called me Osaze pikin with laughter twitching your brows and batting your pretty lashes. Wow! From form 1-6 to university, there wasn’t a dull moment. It’s still unreal to me. May the good Lord accept your soul and comfort your family through this trying time. God knows best.
Rest in God’s bounty. Amen.

I couldn't believe it when I heard that Linda had passed on. Really sad news. Although we hadn't been in touch in a while i still have fond memories of her. I enjoyed the time we spent watching musical videos and dancing at that lovely green house on Federal road and in my house on campus. Also remember her taking me to eat food that Ivie had cooked for food and nutrition practical. I can't forget the brown Volvo too.....
I pray that God will comfort her husband, children and siblings. Amen

Your wonderful memories and legacy is forever in our hearts. Rest in peace wonderful lady. Almighty Gods love, comfort, shield, strength always bestow upon your dear family immensely.

My dearest sister Linda, I have known you since we were little in primary school as Ivie younger sweet little sister. I remember when my parents dropped me to play with you and Ivie at your house on federal road, we would swing on your overhead tank and when my parents came to pick me up, I never wanted to go home. You loved your sister and other siblings. You reminded me so much of your sweet mom, who always had a beautiful smile.
When I lost my mom, you were so caring and concerned for me. We chatted from time to time, and our last chat was on the 27th of Feb. 
I couldn't believe it to hear this devastating news, I cried cos it's just so impossible. We can not question God, but I'm rest assured you are with the Almighty in His Blossom.
May God comfort your children, husband, Ivie, and your brothers during this difficult time. Continue to rest in His Blossom. Amen.

 Rest in the Lords bossom my dear friend

Dear Linda,
When I heard of your passing I felt like someone ripped my heart out.
As I write this tribute I feel like I'm having an out of body experience and this is all just a bad dream...but it's all too real....
I'll never forget your million watt smile and your warmness, this world is a better place because you passed through.... But I am consoled because death is not the end, the almighty has you in His warm embrace. Goodnight dearest, you will be sorely missed

Hmmmmm, Linda where do I start from? Words fail me….. You have been more than a sister in law. I have been knowing you since you were in UDSS and even as a teenager, you made me feel like a sister.
Sweet sister of mine, relentless in all things, constantly trying to figure stuff out for us….where we were concerned nothing was an inconvenience, or stressful for you to help with.
What will Kenneth do not being able to call you or hear your voice? Who will call him for no apparent reason but just to ask, “Kenobish how far na, how was your day? The pride in his eyes anytime he talks about you his "trusted Linda"; will that fade away and be filled with the pain and torment I now see in his eyes when he calls your name?
I will miss you, the warm laughter, your hilarious one liners, the way you would proudly introduce me to anyone, “this is my brother’s wife Edirin” or you would ask me “Edi baby how far na”? I could go on……but most of all I will miss the confidence of knowing that you always had my back, I have truly lost a sister…..
We will love your kids like they are our own, and we shall make sure they carry your memory alive in their hearts always.
Sleep well sister with a gentle heart, you have surely earned your wings; go and take your place with our heavenly Father as the angel that you are.

No, I thought. It can't be. I write this with great sadness.
It is like I am having a really bad dream.
How does one say goodbye to a wonderful friend and sister of over 30years.
Who is going to call me chukwumah pickin like you do? and say Wetin dey shele? How far na?
Why have you left me to answer calls and texts messages about what happened to you?
We shared too many priceless memories, I remember you going into labour twice in my house and both of us walking down the street of Bode Thomas with our babies in our hands looking for where to eat pounded yam the next day after you had mykelti.
We spoke a week before your death about your plans for the future and we promised to meet up for lunch now I had moved office closer to you.
Linda, you were a strong woman, loving mother ,always cheerful and never a dull moment with you.
You will forever be in my heart.

A lili, I'm still in shock about your passing. You always had a smile on your face no matter the circumstances. Ever cheerful Linda. As a younger sister to my friend Ivie, you also became a younger sister to me. Your love for Ivie was unquestionable and i can only imagine how live will be without you. We all have to accept your departure because we can't question God. I pray for God's guidance and protection for your young family. Rest in peace, beautiful woman.

If not for the elections...we would have been at your house...Your smile...gentle nature and dogged zest for life always amazed me.You minded your business and was very focused. You made us proud Linda.... In all ramifications... You were a hero.However, even now,I still shudder at the fact that never again would I see you again....but my only consolation is that in your children's eye...I see you....And in Endurances life...I see your shadow and foot prints...Adieu Linda...So Long!

My dearest Linda! Linduskii like I always hailed back when u go 'Nnekus baby' or Nnekoskii', this is me hurting, this is me broken, this is me confused! Still wondering if this is all true, still hoping the pain will go away, still wishing I will hear you hail me one more time. I pray for peace and perfect rest for u my sister my friend. Love always...

Dear Linda, You left us too soon. Your smile, your calmness, the world has lost an amazing soul. It doesn't feel real. But your passing on has just reminded me that we only have this one life and when it's over its over. May God console your family, and may God send angels to watch over your children always. Sleep now Darling. Sleep now.

Aunty Linda (as I fondly called you), This is beyond my comprehension. You were bubbling with life and so full of energy, an amazing person to be around. You added value in everything, an extremely hardworker, willing to go the extra mile. I am so proud of you and all you have achieved. I am comforted knowing that God has you in the hollow of His hand. You will be forever missed.

My dear Linda. Still can't believe you are gone. You brought so much joy every time we chatted. You were always jolly, always laughing. I still don't understand why. I'll really miss you my dear sister.
March 6, 2019
March 6, 2019
Dearest Linda,
Words fail me... I really don't know just how to take this in. If I refuse to, then it will all be a lie. But life is not so simple.
My heart is so broken because it should not be you, you should still be here with us, laughing facing daily challenges but you are not. No one will ever have the answer to why this happened, so I guess we'll just have to keep missing you.
You where a loving mother, sister, wife, and friend, now are an angel.....that is the only consolation for me. May God keep you very close to Him.
Love always
Ngozi
