However, your anniversary brought tears to the eyes of your last born child Francesca that zip had to console her. Do pray for her. She took care of both of you very well. I miss you my lovely mom and I hope you continue to intercede on our behalf to God. God be with you. Sister, that was what you called me all the time. I feel like being your sister is lovelier than being your daughter. Sister Azoba. The Ad Gentes Missionaries are going to profess five ladies this year and ordain two priests and two deacons. One is Issele-Umu diocese your own. Thanks for giving us life. Love ya plenty even in death

Mum 2016, three years gone and you're still dearly missed. Remembering the fun times, generous times, forgiven rimes, enjoyment times, the prayerful times, Block Rosary in the mornings and evenings at Onitsha, EWTN, and your last Mass on Ash Wednesday 2013..also as you ate your last meal as a special favour for me, you reminded me how Christ had his last supper with his disciples. Mum all this special moments, makes it even more difficult to forget you. I love & miss you loads. Your baby..Ify. Xxxx

Can't believe it's been three years since God took you into his kingdom. You are a shining star grandma, a perfect example of what a grandma could ever be. I miss the days we had together, like they say "you don't know what you've got until you loose it".
You are a perfect example of what a granddaughter wishes her grandmother would be. I love you soo much and im very proud to say im your granddaughter. You will always remain in our hearts. RIP grandma xxx

I had a special treat this afternoon.
I tried to book Mass in our parish but today was already taken.
As I took a walk in Covent garden this afternoon I popped into the Corpus Christe Catholic Church and attended the afternoon Mass.
Thanking God for the opportunity and for the examplery life you led.
Asking for direction and Gods guidance in coping with your absence. I now wish the tears to stop, but in some quiet moments especially when the bread is raised during Mass, I find myself very tearful. Oh mum I ask for your prayers from beyond. Your faith was unquestionable and gained so much for us....

It all seems like yesterday, Mummy, Dropping you off after morning mass one morning and you were kind enough to ask if I wasn't working because you saw me often at morning mass. I told you that I had lost my job and you promised to pray to God to give me a better Job. No doubt you did! I will always be thankful for that. Continue to rest in the bosom of the almighty...........

Mama, we missed you dearly. May you continue to rest in peace . We love you but Jesus loves you more. Continue to pray for us your children. May perpetual light shine upon you.

My ever loving grandma ever smiling mama I miss you so much. How times flies it'sbeen 3 year now.my siblings and i were just talking about you the other day about all the wonderful advice and love you gave to us.

Two years ago today, having refused to eat all day until I arrived at the hospital with jelof rice and supermalt, she ate and drank, she reminded me that this is the way Jesus and His disciples had their last supper.
Moments later, she closed her eyes and there was peace in her expression and silence fell.
My beloved mother, the most gentle soul I've ever known, Mrs Maria Azoba passed away.
Please remember her in your prayers.
I have booked a Mass for her and my other beloved family members who passed away recently today at our church.

Thank you and God Bless you.
Have a pleasant day. Ify...

I arrived few nights ago in Nigeria to make arrangement for your funeral in Nigeria. I'm overwhelmed with good wishes and condolences from people. The whether is HOT.
I'm really tired and I feel exhausted.
Hope you are praying with daddy and all the angel to give us your children the strength to carry on.

MUMMY MARIA JUST DREW ME TO HER. I LOVED HER VERY MUCH. EACH MORNING I WOULD WAIT FOR HER TO COME INTO CHURCH SO THAT WE COULD SAY THE ROSARY TOGETHER (THIS WAS VERY SPECIAL TO ME ) AND THEN HEAR MASS. WHEN SHE USED TO COME BACK FROM NIGERIA AFTER HER HOLIDAYS I CRIED BECAUSE SHE WAS SO SPECIAL TO ME. I MISS YOU BUT YOU ARE NOW RECEIVING YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN. ALWAYS REMEMBERED

To a Great Mum who was so wonderful, kind, supportive and most importantly very humble. Your death has left a very huge vacuum in my life which can never be replaced. Your humility and approach to human needs will always be treasured. Your commitment to God was admirable and will never be forgotten. Your love for your lovely daughters was no doubt unconditional. I miss you so much. R.I.P

I gave them keys today with tear in my eyes. (It's over.) You can never have imagined how difficult that was. Mum you truly believed I'm POWER strong enough to shoulder all this responsibility. I tried & I'm glad I had the chance to tell u how much I loved u & wanted to take care of u & dad. I'm ur last born but u made me strong with the love & trust u bestowed on me. I love u mum.

Today 16/03/2013 four weeks ago at 2020hrs, u gracefully left this world. Ur departure have caused a lot of heartache yet we've submitted all in Gods hand. We know u would have done the same. Thank you for directing us to love, care, and pray and most of all believe in the Trinity. Mummy, a woman of patience, faith and love. Ur work here is done. ADIUS. Ezinne- Nne Okwukwe. Rest in Peace.

Mama I still could not believe you are gone. Your voice was so sweet that 02/16/13 that I did not know it was the last time I'll hear your voice. My heart is so heavy. Who do I turn to now to listen to my stories? My only hope is that you left a legacy for us. I promise you that my sisters and I will always stick together and pray always. My love for you shall never die. Go in peace of God

I've got things to say mum, then I looked at the time and thought., its too late I have to wait till morning. Then I remembered, when I wake I will not have the privilege that I've enjoyed since Anthony was born - of having you here in London a stone throw away, all to my self.
God pls give me strength. I find tears at every corner.

Saturday 9th March your grandson's birthday, we remembered and had a full funeral Mass for you mum. Mum you were loved. The turn out was Hugh. You would have said so yourself. The support, love, grief and condolences were tremendous. You Are An Angel Mum.! Everyday since your passing I find myself feeling really lucky and privileged to have been you daughter. I know you were really loved.

Everyday since your passing I feel really lucky and privileged to have been your daughter. I know you were really loved. Visitors are still trouping in to pay their respect.10th March 2013, I couldn't bring myself to celebrate Mother's Day. Maybe next year. But for now, I'll simply wish all mums a happy Mother's Day. Hope that all children will appreciate their mum as much as I did you.

Just got in from seeing dad off. He's off to prepare for your home coming. End of an era. It feels so empty. Tidying mums things. Cancelling services. Sky- EWTN, gas, phone, electric, gas. All brought tears to my eyes.
Looking at your smiling photo and realising that you will never ever be there in human form for me. . Oh mum how could you leave me so soon. I need you.

Mama, I felt so sad when the news of your passing reached us. Each time I spoke with you on the phone, you always encouraged me and assured me that you are praying for me. Now you are no longer with us here physically, we cry because we miss you, but we are hopeful that we shall meet again. Adieu mama, Nne Okwukwe!

Dear Mummy,we are all sadden for your sodden departure but only God knows why. We treasured all the time we shared with you, your smile and happy face will be missed.
Mama, ije oma.
R.I.P.

Dearest Mummy, when i spoke with you on the phone a few weeks ago, you sounded sooooo strong on the phone. The plan was that I would come visiting you and uncle Nwafo the following two weeks. I have never seen such a proactive elderly mummy like yourself. You were a God fearing lady who taught me how to pray the Rosary. ADIOS the world's most active, caring, loving and friendly Mummy.

Mummy, it’s your son KISOFA as she used to fondly call me. I promised myself not to cry anymore. A woman who took me like her biological son while a teenager not knowing what I would grow up to be. You always remind me of ’Mother Theresa’ - a selfless woman who gave the world everything and asked for nothing in return. God will surely reward you. ‘KA OMESIA EZIGBO NNE’.

News of mummy's demise was shocking to us because, despite her age and fulfillment, it was least expected at the time it happened.
I would be consloed by the fond memories of a very genorous lady who shared the pains of others at all times.
May God rest your kind soul peacefully, Amen

‘A  Special  Poem  For  a  Special  grandma’:
The journey of my life is like a golden key, my first giant stride you started with me. The love you shared like no other, because you were the best grandmother. I remember you in springtime, how you loved the fragrant breeze. I remember you in summer, as the sunshine kissed your cheeks. I remember you in autumn, how you loved the turning leav

Thank you for being so kind to all your grandchildren. Whenever you had the opportunity to be by my side you always were, and you never ever forgot me, even when you were in hospital. The thing that made me happy when I was around you was when you always said “Ewee, Ewoo!!” I am certainly going to miss that, for it always made me laugh and most importantly made me happy. You were a great lady but

You lived an examplary life. Your memories will ever remain with us. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace...in the mighty name of JESUS...Amen.

MARIYA, ONOYI-OKWO, MOTHER OF FAITH. GOD HAS CROWNED YOU IN HEAVEN, FOR SURE. YOU TOUCHED SO MANY PEOPLE POSITIVELY,HIGH AND LOW, BIG AND SMALL.THAT IS WHY GOD GAVE YOU THE BEAUTIFUL REWARD HE HAS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE IMPRESSIVELY RUN THE RACE. ADIEU MUM, TAKE CARE OF YOUR GRANDCHILDREN IN HEAVEN.

Mama, I miss you so much, I will gladly give up all the diamonds, gold and silver in my possession to have one more chat with you. I miss you greatly and cannot find the strength to stop the tears from flowing within my private walls. I know that it is not the tear that I will shed in a day. Peace perfect peace mummy as you rest under the wings of our Lord. Will always love you!!!!

mother you were an invaluable and precious jewel to your kids, an inspiration to all that knows you your gentleness, peaceful nature and lovely smiles we shall miss. yes it is sad that you are no more, but God loves you more. l have consolation in the word of God, "to die is to live forever" Sleep on mother until we meet to part no more.

"Mama you were my appointed angel, protecting me when in danger, directing me through the right path when I was lost, providing for me when I was hungry. The most wonderful thing about you is that you do not mind getting up at mid night to feed me when I return from work. I will miss my bowls of bitter leave soup, most importantly I will miss you so much and cheerish your memory"

Mama, Its such a pity that I never met you when you were with us on this earth. but tonight I heard that you were no more with us. I was told about all your goodness and contribution you made to the lives of people you came in contact with. YOU ARE NOW IN A PLACE WERE SICKNESS OR PAIN CANNOT TOUCH YOU ANYMORE. PEACE PEACE PEACE, IJMN AMEN. love ONUWA ESENWAH

Mummy, just like a candle in the wind. Gone.Just like that. Even as I write this, I still fight back tears. Your were a mother, a mentor, a pillar and comfort to all of us. No distinction between your immediate children, inlaws, families, friends. You treated all of us equally and lovinly. It is too painful to lose you mum. We loved you but God loves you more. Good night mummy.

Thank you Grandma for taking care of me and protecting me from those that meant harm to me. I am very greatful for all. that you have done for me. May your soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Are WE going to miss you, grandma? The answer is a BIG YES. Your kindness, love, humility, caring spirit and personality are but a few of your traits that would make your departure even more "painful". Your peaceful nature and gentleness imprints on us all (family and friends) and for that we say "Thank you". You are LOVED and will forever live in our memories. Adieu Grandma
