You were there when we took our first steps,
And went unsteadily across the floor.
You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided,
Until our steps took us out the door…
You worry now “Are they ok?”
Is there more you could have done?
As we walk the paths of our unknown
You wonder “Where have my children gone?”
Where we are is where you have led us,
With your special love you showed us a way,
To believe in ourselves and the decisions we make.
Taking on the challenge of life day-to-day.
And where we go you can be sure,
In spirit you shall never be alone.
For where you are is what matters most to us,
Because to us that will always be home…

When I asked my daddy to call you on Friday night, I never knew that will be the last time i’ll Talk to you. You were the best Grandma ever and i’ll Forever miss you. I know you are with Jesus now but I still miss you. Don’t worry grandma I will take care of daddy like you did..... Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord till we meet to part no more

I couldn’t have asked for a better mother in love. You were kind, loving prayerful and most of all God fearing. You made my entry into the Akinyemi family peaceful and you never stressed me for one day. Everytime I pray for my daughter’s, I always ask God to give them a mother-in-law like you. 

I miss your weekly phone calls, prayers and gist but I know you are in a better place. 

Sunre ooo Iyaniwura... i’ll Always miss you Mummy

Grandma your death has been a big shock to me. I missed you very much. I couldn't stop thinking about it. You're such a friendly an generous woman, which I Loved very much. 

Goodnight grandma and rest in the Lord. 

Oluwadarasimi Akinyemi your grandson.

You can only have one mother
Patient kind and true;
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same to you.
When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return,
For all her loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
Sweet Jesus, take this message,
To our dear mother up above;
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.
