Your baby is 40 today. 40 years. I miss you so so much. This is a day you would have been planning with me. Your voice would have been the loudest in the praise party we had this night.

Miss you dearly

Eeye Mummyyyyyy (my special way of hailing and teasing you ) ,

It’s indeed your birthday today. Your 70th Posthumous Birthday!
A birthday full of memories and celebration.

I remembered when Dad turned 70 and we all gave him a surprise visit and party in Ekiti. You loved it and you mentioned how you will celebrate yours. Alas, God just had a better plan. Always!!
He wanted you to celebrate it with Him and the Angels because you are just too special to have your 70th birthday here on Earth.

I still miss you Mum, we all do, sooooo much. Still miss those late night gists and plans. Your 'meticulous' and 'finicky' ways.

Sometimes, we remember some of the things you would have done in certain situations and places you would have been for some occasions. We miss the way you lovingly say/chant the panegyrics on our birthdays and special occasions. Don't think I've heard that since you left , nobody could do it.

Mum, your 'musketeers' have increased. Now, you have 6 Grandsons and 5 Granddaughters and still loading...... Even Bella had 4 puppies the year after you left. Smiles!
Morale of this: All you left behind grew and multiplied. Nothing missing nothing broken! Praise the Lord!

Your Bestie talks about you always. He looks so well now and strictly heeding to all those things you used to worry about.

We will rejoice and continually thank God today and always for your great impact in our lives. Happy posthumous birthday Mum!!

Happy 70th Posthumous Birthday Grandma!

Happy 70th posthumous birthday grandma! May your soul continue to rest in perfect peace.
You are by missed by everybody.

Love, TamTam and Tishbobo

Happy 70th posthumous birthday mummy❤️
Still feels surreal that you are not here...
Keep on resting in God’s perfect peace and I’m sure there’s a glorious celebration happening in heaven today.
I know you wear a smile looking down on us.
Thank you again for being a wonderful wife, mum and grandma!!!
I miss you!

My adopted mother:
We remember you today and everyday. Rest in peace.
Jude Kelechukwu Owumi

Mama!!! Just like yesterday! Still so very fresh... Eledua knows best. Happy posthumous 70th. Oh what a day it would have been, but only He knows why he wanted you to spend the day with him. The seeds you left are doing great and the Love of God is keeping us.
Please eat the best that is being eaten up there. We will forever miss you. Love you mama!!!!

Iya Mii,

Happy Posthumous 70th Birthday...

Keep dancing with the Angels in Heaven...

Always on my mind...Forever in my heart

Love always

Your Abike Mii

Iya mi,

Another birthday yesterday without you...

I missed your midnight birthday phone call, the prayers, oriki, the sound of your voice, your laugh...

I miss you so so much mum...time has not healed this bleeding wound of mine...

Always on my mind...forever in my heart

Another Mother’s Day without you...

Miss you so much Mum.

Happy Mothers Day Iya mii

Eeye Mummy,
I tried to put some things down yesterday but, it wasn't easy. I was shocked myself that i am still struggling with some of your pictures and even songs. I listened to a song some months ago and so 'heard' you. It was the type you'll have sang and turned to your own as if you wrote it.
Mum, it took me awhile to freely sing 'Oluwa e tobi' in church. Got stuck several times.
So many stories to share with you Eeye Bandele. I'll just wait till your post 70th birthday.
Yea! It will surely be a celebratory message. Sleep on Mum.

Live on mum. You were such an inspiration. Your legacy lives on. Glad I got to know you.

2 years gone. My subconscious warred with my conscious all day. The light headedness, the faint feeling..... couldn’t just place the day.
But the mind is powerful and wars over the emotions. So through this all I choose to remember “1 Window Praise” For all that could have been but yet did not, for all that I thought should not but yet was .....in all God is supreme.
I will continue to miss you, till we meet to part no more.

Rest on Mum...

2 Years Already...

Always on my mind...Forever in my heart...

Miss you so much

Happy 69th Birthday Grandma,
I can't put into words how much I wish you were still here
I would give you a card, sing for you and even play the guitar for you
Then would all have ice cream cake and pizza
I just miss you so much
But I know you're watching over me with other angels in heaven
And memories with you will never leave my heart

Happy 69th Birthday Iya mi.

They say time heals and it becomes less painful... I’m still waiting.

I long for one more hug, one more ‘my baby’, one more ‘oko mi’, one more sound of your laugh, just one more...

I miss you so so much.

I imagine you playing and singing with your baby...I imagine you next to me when I’m going out with him, telling me to ensure he’s properly covered...when I’m feeding him, ensuring I’m doing it right... I miss sharing these special moments with you Mum. I miss gisting with you. I miss your early morning calls...

I...miss..you.

You are always on my mind and will forever remain in my heart.

Keep singing with the Angels.

Mum, it’s your posthumous 69th birthday today. There are no tears, only memories. Highly cherished memories mum. We miss you every now and then. The memories are still very fresh. No amount of darkness can overpower the candle you lit and raised for us all to see.
Anyone who has never experienced a mother’s love & affection has not fully experienced life. Rest on Mum.
Happy Birthday Margaret Bolatito Bamidele!
#mum #restonmum #birthdayinheaven

Another year of you celebrating with angels...
Keep resting in God’s perfect peace and thank you again for being a wonderful wife, mum and grandma.
Happy posthumous birthday mummy❤️
YOU ARE MISSED TERRIBLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 69th posthumous birthday mum! I didn’t even know that was a thing.
I stared at your picture for 10 minutes straight today. Literarily 10 long minutes. And the hurt and pain feels like it’s dulled or receded to a numb point.
I will continue to miss you. Even in death you Marshall me on. This time with another reason to make heaven and be reunited with you.
I don’t mind one visit in my dreams too - just stop by, sit by the edge of the bed and say “nle omo mi”.
Thank you for the beautiful love of love and purpose you lived. I am still working on me...... to be as loving as you

Happy Mothers’ Day Mum. Miss you so much

My Taiye,
People ask me are you okay? Okay? The word lost its meaning. Just moving on ......and waiting for you to show up in my dreams or in person for a last gist.....
Yersterday, your 1st year memorial was a day I purposed against all odds will be one of praise. So to your tribute is “1 Window Praise”. In your memory we will always with whatever hurts or brokenness or disappointments or heartache or whatever the pain...know that there is but 1 window, 1 reason to thank God. Always one.
So you see, even in death you remain phenomenal. Bringing joy to all around you.
My unending prayer since you passed, that I may learn to love half as selflessly as you do, sacrifice half as much, give utterly with no retrain half as much. And when I have knocked half, I shall aspire for more...your utterly tough to beat standard of love and selflessness.
The Christian walk has a new purpose, making heaven has a new meaning, that this journey might end with grace to meet you again. At the feet of Jesus never to part again. Shouting Halleluyah and Hossana!
Sleep on! Till we meet to part no more!

Your twin :)

Rest on Mum!
Shall We Gather At The River? (Hymn)
Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Refrain
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will talk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.
Refrain
Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.
Refrain
At the smiling of the river,
Mirror of the Savior’s face,
Saints, whom death will never sever,
Lift their songs of saving grace.
Refrain
Soon we’ll reach the silver river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
Refrain

Iya mi,
It’s a year already...
A year of missing you so much
A year of longing to hear your voice, to hug you
A year of not being able to gist with you or tease you
A year of not being able to share amazing News with you...especially THE News..your heart desire for me came through Mum..but I know that you already know...and you met...
Continue to Rest in peace Iya mi...
Always on my mind...Forever in my heart

‘Eyemi’ (ekiti dialect). It’s a year already. Waoh! Still hurts deeply. Feels so much like yesterday. I miss you so so much. The legacy you left will not be shattered and we will meet again in the bosom of our maker. Rest on and continue singing hallelujah o - your last words.. love you mama. Forever in my mind!!!!

Hello My Adopted Mommy...
Continue to rest in the Lord. Shalom.

Rest in peace mummy.
Continue to rest in peace of our lord Jesus Christ, may the souls of all the faithful departed through the Mercy of God rest in peace Amen!

I called you mummy ; much younger in age than my biological mum but in all other ways you more than 'matched' it. Just a couple of years you made your entrance into my life but you surely left your mark! Been thinking of you and going through the 'Celebration of Life' program again today, I once again became teary.

However like I said to Bunmi ,your split image daughter, you must have created a stir in heaven already making them smile so much and taken up the role of 'mother caretaker already!; such that should you be allowed to return ,not you or even the angels would allow/agree.

Bunmi is a beloved friend and sister through whom I met you. I guess your motherly instinct picked that and you immediately embraced me like one of yours. One time you came to Lagos , you brought so much iru (locust bean) for me that lasted a year! Infact I took some of it on my trip to U.S to give to friends and family and they started asking how they could get more :-)

I remember when I told you I was traveling, you kept asking how long I will be gone for....when you insisted I said 1month. You shouted and said "Ahh! won ki fi oko le pe beyen o! ( meaning: Ah! you should not leave your husband alone for so long!) You insisted if he could not go with me, then I could only stay 1week! I did stay longer but felt so loved you cared so much even for him. (....teary) Same way you cared for your husband and all around you so much.

We 'gisted' about nothing and everything. So I don't 'waste' money, you even directed me to your salon, followed up weekly on whether I had gone and gave me on-line, real time description as I drove down finally. Of course it was very affordable, Mama Queen talked of you fondly, and sure I went back again and again.

We talked about children and parenting blessings and challenges. I remember the day you had to use my restroom which my youngest child/son (a teenager) had left in a poor state ; he never heard the last of it! Each time you asked after him, you added "I hope he keeps the restroom clean now" :-). He got life lectures from you I'm sure he won't forget. By the way , he was also sad to hear of your joining the saints so early.

You called me 'Mama Tolu' , Toluwalope been the first you met in my family ; my second daughter who loves and respects Bunmi so much - actually her mentor. Also so sad you left already and says to tell you 'adieu'. Bunmi has been a real blessing to her, me and our entire family.

I am a writer so if I were allowed, I would go on and on but alas the length will scare people from venturing to read it at all......that I don't want. I'm glad your funeral ceremony and all done before and after it, including this website is/has been so beautiful. You deserve nothing less.

Mummy, you were so loving, kind and radiated joy wherever you were. You came, you saw, you touched so many lives and lived to the full albeit short. Rather than cry, we will try to smile as we remember you ; that's what you would want us to do.

Keep enjoying heaven until our times are up or the trumpet sounds as the Lord tarries.....then we will see again.

The knowledge of your sudden departure brings pain, but comfort comes from the word of God and the memory of a life well spent in passionate dedication to positively impact your nuclear & extended family (all of us) so much that you successfully coloured the life & speech of everyone that knew you even now while you are gone.
Ever then so gentle, amiable and soft spoken rest well in Jesus bosom.

July 15th will be a day I will never forget. Mummy left this world and her memory still be remembered. You are a good mother.for many years I was with you in Enugu Efon Ibadan and Lagos.you always there for me with your counsel and advised. How will I forget all your good works.I still remembered your world ..Saraki Eda when are you bringing your wife Shade and my respond was very soon.you will said iwo omo yi.i missed u and Shade missed you also.Rest in peace mummy.

Mummy,
It was a shock when the news broke and although it took a while to absorb it, it will definitely take a longer time to accept it. In all, you have lived a selfless, caring and TRULY MOTHERLY life.

In the two decade that I've known you, you shone the light of love and affection to all that find themselves around you. From Ado-Ekiti to Owerri, Ibadan to Lagos and beyond, you made yourself a mum not only to your biological children and families but to a vast number of us.

I have gone through our chats on BBM over and over again and cannot but thank God for giving myself and my family the opportunity to know you. As I said to your daughter - my friend and sister, Olubunmi, you're about the only person outside of my family and closest friends who knows every member of my family by name and ask after them at every opportunity.

Mummy, you will be missed. Sleep on for now for we will be united beyond this world.
