Mamao was an extraordinary person whose life was worthy of emulation and celebration.
I only met her a couple of times but she made a lasting impression on me. Her words of wisdom were impeccable and worthy to be emulated. She lived a Christlike life and dealt with her challenges with faith and joy knowing that God always took great care of her. It would be hard to find a person that can bear her cross the way she did.
We will miss you so much Mamao!
Rest in perfect peace in the bossom of our Lord until we meet again!

Mamao! as she is fondly called is a one-of-a-kind individual that deserves to be celebrated and honored.
I met her for the first time in 1985 in Adazi Nnukwu during a party organized by my bossom friend and her youngest son, Cosmas Nnabueze Oguejiofor.
When I arrived for the party, all dressed up, I went to introduce myself to her and say hello. After the pleasantries, she looked up at me, smiled and said "Nnaa, do you work for Michael Jackson?". This question caught me off guard and was in reference to my jacket which looked like the Michael Jackson jacket in the Thriller video.
Her question made me laugh so hard and I appreciated her humor and sense of it.
She was a disciplinarian whose tough love helped all her children to become better people today.
Her character and positive attitude are attributes that are worthy of emulation and It is really hard to find a person that could go through her circumstances with such grace, dignity and happiness.
We will miss you so much Mamao!
Rest in perfect peace !

Mamao you are greatly missed, the last time I saw you, we had prayer sessions and you prayed for the entire family,you looked so strong and agile so the news of your death a few months later was a huge shock. May you continue to rest in peace, you were an icon and a pillar with calm nature, Mamao you will forever remain in our hearts, we love you♥️

Mama Osy as she was popularly known was a symbol of contentment and simplicity. From the time we were young children and visited Adazi often, she always welcomed us with a warm smile. Over the years, she constantly gave us advice about being prayerful and trusting in the lord. She has fulfilled her destiny and gone on to be with the lord. May he grant her eternal rest and peace.

Mamao, you left us unexpectedly and I never had the chance to say goodbye. But I am consoled by the fact that you are resting in the bosom of our Lord. You were an inspiration to all and lived a very exemplary life. I remember how as kids you will force us to recite endlessly the rosary in Igbo, surely, I will miss you especially all the olden days tales you so graciously told. Adieu Mamao.

Mamao was a mother par excellence.In spite of her ailment which manifested over three decades ago,she continued showering motherly love to all that came in close contact with her.
Her stoicism in the face of agonizing pain is unparalleled.I observed as a young man paying frequent visits to her home, how anxious she wanted to ensure all visitors were fed well which often made them to lose sight of what she was going through.
She will forever be remembered for her kindness,generosity,humility,Perseverance and exemplary christain life .

Mamao, knowing you for over three decades was, for me, a God-given opportunity to learn one or two valuable life lessons. The equanimity with which you accepted your health challenges was exceptional. Thank you for all the lives you touched in one way or another. May God reward you with the perfect rest you deserve and comfort all your loved ones. Amen.

Mama o, you have always reminded us on the importance of doing the right things all the time right from when we were little.. We will always be grateful for that.. I vividly remember when you announced to be referred to as "IFE EJI AMA ATU" ( Ifeatu) & your favourite words like " YA GAZIE".. These are everlasting memories..
I believe you are presently in a better place... Rest on Ma... Till we meet to part no more..
Nnaemeka..

May the soul of Mamao continue to rest in perfect peace. Amen. Mamao is in heaven , she is praying for us and watching over us.
May the life she lived on Earth be an example for us all.
Mamao Adieu !!!!

Thank you Grandma for all the prayers and songs you taught me as a child. You always encouraged me to focus on Christ and follow the righteous path.
I thank God for providing me with the opportunity to listen to your teachings, wise words, stories and life lessons.
I remember grandpa’s last days and how both you and grandpa constantly prayed and sang together. That inspired me so much and taught me to keep pushing even in times of difficulty.
I Love you so much Grandma and I miss you but I’m happy you and Grandpa are together with Mary our Mother praying and interceding for Us.
Thank you so much.........

Mamao was more than a grandmother to me, she was my rock. She moulded me into the woman I am today, she gave me the best pep talks ever, she helped me build my confidence. I remember when I was much younger she would make everyone around dance around me and I would be sitting on a special stool she called it “my queen’s stool”. She made me feel on top of the world. She made me feel special like I was specially created by God for her. I was always so happy to be around her because of the way she made me feel. This is a painful loss and she would be dearly missed but I believe so much in God has a reason for everything so I find solace in that. I believe you are resting in the bosom of the Lord. Rest on Mamao.
Love,
Your Queen.

It is therefore a time of sadness and a time of celebration. God bless you, give you comfort, and give you strength as you experience the sadness and the celebration of life.

Mama Osy, you were a rock on which the solid Oguejiofor foundation was built.
You kept everything simple and above all taught us all humility and how to practice it. No problem was too big and you always said that with prayers, everything will be alright.
Yes, everything will be alright. We thank you and we will miss you.

Mamao you left us when we taught that all is well with your health. We loves you mamao but God loves you best. May you continue to rest in peace. Nne Oma.

To Ossynov my dear brother and siblings what shall I say. Take hearth we are all hurt by demise of mama. She came. Saw and conquered. I have no doubt in my mind that she has a place in heaven reserved for her in God's kingdom.
Adieu!! Adieu!!! Mama Ossy. Jee nke. Oma
