Four Years on... How beautiful heaven must be!. Mummy enjoying the uniquely bestowed mercies of our great Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in heaven. What sweet thought remembering Mum's divine visitation with that blessed pronouncement "Congratulation Woman, you have obtained MERCY"! How gracious dear Lord! Thanking the Lord for His faithfulness on us all Mum's children and praying we all will hear that gracious word of obtaining God's mercy at the end of our journey here on earth in Jesus' name.
Hmnnn, by this time last year Dad was still with us. Little did we know, this year's remembrance of mum, we won't be giving Dad a call like we did, this time last year. Oh life is vain without the hope of eternal life in Christ. Thanking God for victory over death!. Thanking God for the divine grace of the Lord that is keeping all beloved Mum's children despite all life's challenges. We are growing stronger and drawing closer still. Praying we will all be drawn closer to God our creator unto eternal bliss with Him in glory and there behold the heavenly beauty of the Lord and enjoy the bliss of heaven that mum now enjoys. All earthly pains and hardship forgotten forever! Oh what joy!

Revelation 21:3-5
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Aunty Dupe as you were fondly called, continue to have your well deserved rest. Rest in peace.

A sister not easy to forget, loving. honest. religious and an encourager .
May her soul rest in perfect peace.
I commend the children, Omo rere a gbeyin wa

Three years on dearly beloved Mummy's memory still linger on. Mummy called me and all her children omo olori ire...and we thank the Lord this pronouncement is germinating each day in our lives Thanking the Lord Jesus still, for His mercies showered on Mummy despite all life challenges and for the victory over the evil one when at last Mummy received that beautiful divine visitation with the beautiful words "Congratulations! woman, you have obtained mercy"
Praying all Mummy's children will obtain God's divine mercy too before we cross over.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1 John 3:2-3
Thanking the Lord for Eternal bliss that Mummy is enjoying now.

Two years on.... and I can only sigh and say Lord Jesus, we thank Thee. I continue to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for Mummy. The Lord showed Mummy divine mercy when less than a month before Mummy passed on, she had the dream of a man in white garment shaking her hand with the words "Congrats Woman, you have obtained mercy". Mummy even thanked Daddy and the house-help for all their care few days before she closed her eyes only to open it in blissful eternity where there is no more pain, sadness, illness, sorrows.
Joys of Marriage, children and unity has followed since Mummy left. In eternity we will share blessed times we never had here on earth. Trusting the Lord Jesus will do all needed miracle that all of us your children and Daddy too will obtain mercy of the Lord like Mummy did.
I can remember Mummy singing on the 3rd December 2018 when I called "Obinrin rere lawa, antoju oko wa, antoju omo wa, Obinrin rere lawa", and I said let us say the sinners prayers together again for Daddy's sake and Mummy did the prayers again, after this it was end of year gifts and discussion we had 2 weeks after .... and lo and behold it's illness and home call at last.
I'll always remember Mummy for God's mercies upon her despite all the rough experiences on earth. Lord Jesus, I thank Thee for your love in answering prayer and rescuing Mummy. Lord you are so sweet and good. I will thank Thee more when I get to heaven and join Mummy some day when my work here on earth is done. Thanks for giving me and my siblings a mother who obtained Thine mercy at the end.

Two years just like yesterday. I still remember Jan 3rd 2019, the call and my response of "it can't be pls check her well, she is still breathing" and the answer "it is, she has been taken to the morgue" hmmmn.... Just like that, my confidant and gist partner, abiyamo too to...sleep well iya mi Modupeola. You shall forever be remembered. I thank the Lord for the grace we your children received after your demise. We are stronger, happier, united and peaceful. Love you mum, keep resting in the blossom of the Lord

My beloved sweet mother.What a life you escape from the darkness and the trial and you became victorious by sitting at the right hand side of your father in heaven by HIS gracei.Missed you and love you more.I strongly have FAITH in CHRIST that we will all make it and reign with our creator in heaven.Rest on mum.Sun re ooooo

I celebrate a woman of virtue and substance. A lovely mother to all, and especially to me a wonderful grandmother! It’s important to note that we are celebrating a life well spent in God’s glory, beauty and grace. Although mama is gone, her beautiful memories lives on and will linger with us for a very long time. We love you very much grandma but God loves you more. Till we meet again at the feet of Jesus Christ. Goodnight mama rere.

Mama was a loving and caring person to people around her and she was fond of making everyone happy. Continue to rest in peace ma.

- Jumoke

Mama showed love to everyone around her, she worked towards making her family united, she was hardworking and a lover of God. Continue to rest in peace. May God keep everything you left behind.

- Oluwayomi

The only event or occurrence that gives the greatest pain and sorrow to mankind is death which the Holy Bible describes as the last enemy to be destroyed. Death is an enemy indeed; for why should it have cruelly made Mama Latifat (Oluwatoyin) to breathe her last breath. Death is such a blind agent of Satan and would not spare such a good loving, caring, selfless, helpful morally upright personality like her.
Mama Latifat (Oluwatoyin) as we call her in the Church was a good standing member who did her Christian Service to the fullest, paid her tithe, attend meetings/prayer services and ever ready to take part in any Church work.
She was a practising Christian even when challenges of life came, she will say, “it is well with my Soul. Her favourite song during the morning devotion was “Asun layo, a ji layo a fogo fo’luwa (we sleep well , we are awake well, we glorify the Lord). May God be with the children she left and give them peace and unity. Adieu Mama Latifat, sleep on.
- Revd & Mrs Olaleye

I don't know that Jan. 2019 will be your last day with our family on earth because you did not bid us farewell. Your days were long & peaceful. You were a God fearing woman, caring & disciplinarian both home & outside. Goodnight ma, till we meet to part no more.
Good mum, sun re o

- Alani Oloyede.

I knew you mama to be a caring, easy going and forward looking person. I had a dream about you some years back and hoping that one day, that dream would come to reality but it never did before you passed on. We love you but God loves you most. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord.

Lolade

Mum, your departure to glory was unexpected. It is still a shock to know you are gone. We will miss your prayers and genuine kindness and thoughtfulness towards us. You will be solely missed. Adieu ma .Sleep on the feet of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ.

- Joke Christine

Accepting the death of a loved one; especially a mother, without having the chance to say a proper goodbye; is difficult. However, we take solace in the fact that in spite the struggles mama had, she has gone to rest in the Lord.
We identify with the grief the family feels at this time and we pray God to grant you the fortitude to bear the separation and commend everyone to think deeply about eternity as we celebrate mama’s passing and a life well spent. Mama, rest in the peace of the Lord.

Pastor and Mrs Aderombi

It was julius ceaser who said " Death is all a necessary end which will come when it come" We morn your departure to heavenly home this time around, a woman who received God's grace at her old age with the little time she spend in the church, she showed and live an exemplary life with the people she meat in the church. A virtues woman who devoted her time in serving the Lord with her whole heart and grew in grace, We appreciate God for your life through her words it shows that mama saw JESUS before she die. May God guide, protect and comfort your families the Lord will preserve them all in Jesus name. Good night mama.

A TRIB1BUTE TO MY DEAREAST GRANDMUM:
I was shocked to hear the news of your passing what hurts most is knowing that I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to you. Life is so fleeting yet we always believe we are guaranteed tomorrow. When someone you have suddenly departs what you are left with are the memories of the times shared together. Grandma moments with you were the ones of love, care and protection. One thing I can never forget about you are your bountiful prayers and good advices you always make me know the worth of God, I will always miss you but I will continue to keep your great memories, your guidance and love. When a butterfly flutters into my vision I will be rest assured that you are free from pain, when the gentle fragrance of sweet flowers catches my attention, I will know that is you reminding me to appreciate the simple things in life, when the sun streams in through my window to wake me up in the morning, Ii will know that it's your warmth love, you are the best… miss you rest in perfect peace.

Tribute in Honour of Mrs Victoria Modupeola Ajike SULAIMAN- April 12, 1944 - January 3, 2019.
Our dear cousin we popularly call her Aunti Dupe. She lived briefly with us at Ibadan alongside other relations after completing her Modern School education at Abeokuta. While staying with us in Ibadan, she worked at the Lafia Canning Factory Apata, Ibadan. Being an only child of her parents, she treated all of her first cousins as her siblings. She was a very warm, caring and likeable person. She had a pleasant disposition. She was always full of smiles. We love you but God loves you more. We will surely miss you. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
- The Soremi Family Apata, Ibadan.

It is hard to accept the death of our beloved mama especially when we could not have a golden chance to say goodbye to you mama. Death can overpower us at anytime, anywhere and we can slip under the black curtain, so with such a glorious life you lived mama, so the time spent with you may be short but the true love and care you have shown on us would never be forgotten in our memories. Mama, Now that you are gone, Nothing seems so real for now. We are blinded by everything around us. It’s a reality statement that..." At any time we can be taken away like a lightening of a striking thunderstorm." Life can be made so easy and taken away from us so quickly. Rest in peace our dearest beloved Mama. Mama oninure, omo ajo gberu ......sun reee ooo

From Him we have come and onto Him shall we return. "Iya ni wura ti ko se fi owo ra". My mum, my everything… I will forever cherish your love, care, kindness and prayers all the time.
Though life crisis deprived me of your tender from my childhood, the God’s mercy preserved you. How grateful I am to the ALMIGHTY GOD, for giving me opportunity to still spend time closely with you for some few years …your laughers, your love and care was so tender. You were a delight to your grandchildren… the walks and the exercise time with the grandchildren continually bring fresh memories of you.
Your devotion to God endeared you to the church family you worshipped with while with me. Toh, what can I say more…we love you dearly but God loves you most. It is so painful that you are gone and will never be seen here with us on earth again, Oh! MUMMY! May your soul rest in peace
Daughter - Basirat A

Mummy Iya Ibeji… Maman Biu!
Mummy, you were a mother with superlative high standards, complete integrity and boundless enthusiasm for whatever task you took in hand. You were also a mother of great intellect and a big heart ♥. Since you passed away it's been series of flash backs for me, the first week was very difficult with tears, it was very painful because it was just like a dream, it was hard to believe that you have left us so soon, thinking of you and the beautiful times we spent together brought tears uncontrollably to my eyes,.
The sad memories are my inability to spend most of my teenage years with you mum, due to your health challenges. But anytime I was opportuned to see you - most especially during the Ileya festivals, I always long for your earnest and endless prayers. The year seem to have merged up as if it was just yesterday. You gave me a secured childhood and a solid foundation, your bountiful prayers also helped in my success I never can say how thankful I am for what you have done! You were more than a mother despite all odds Mummy…. I thank God for the privilege of having you as a mother, I wish you stayed longer but God Almighty has destined everything for a reason. I miss you a lot….abiyamo tooto, we can't change what Allah has destined but your memories will be forever remembered. Sleep on and rest in perfect bosom of God Almighty, rest in peace dear Mummy. Adieu Mummy. 
From your lovely daughter - Hassana A

Mummy Mummy!!!!
I just thought that I would share some loving memories of growing up with my mum, Mrs Modupe Sulaiman. All I can say is that she was the best mother anyone could ever have. My mother was one of those women who have compassion for everyone. Mummy was a very hardworking woman and a cheerful giver. She used to cook beans and maize for me right from childhood as she know I love EWA! She's such a wonderful mother that always pray for us even if we did something wrong. Instead of her to use evil language, she’ll rather use positive word such as ”Omo olorire” {meaning a great achiever}.
Unfortunately, due to health issues, mum had to leave Kano and relocate to Abeokuta in 1983 during our childhood days; ever since, we were only able to visit her during our long term holidays. I remember whenever she set eyes on us from the North (Myself and my twin sister) & the Idowu, she would just burst into joyful gospel songs and end it up with prayer...following up with a rush to the kitchen to prepare my delicious ewa and also prepare each and every request of others. Thanksfully, my youngest sister grew up with mummy from childhood and was there to succour mum in our absence. Her joyous singing and prayer welcome was never missing whenever I visit (in yr 2016 while with my immediate younger sister Idowu or in the last 2 years at Daddy’s).
I’ll always remember mum’s delight in cooking and neatness (her humble dwelling places are always kept in neat condition) as she despises staying in dirty environment.
I remember all the conversations that we used to have. Your caring special name you call me “Tagba” if I did something wrong and draw my ear and say “Omo olorire yi”.
Generous mum, even offered me money last year during one of my visits to her and Dad…leaving me amused that she still wishes to take care of me as her baby. So thankful to God that I could visit her more often during the last few years of her life spent in company with Daddy.
Mummy’s passing on to glory has left a big void in my heart and it still does especially knowing all the challenges she went through in life. Nonethelless, I am thankful to the LORD JESUS that Mummy has gone to rest in the bosom of our dear LORD.
The love that I feel for my late mum, I'll pass down to my children in hope that they would know the deep love of a parent.
Mom, I dedicate this writing in your memory. Just know that you have touched so many lives during your stay with us on this earth (including mine both on earth and for ETERNITY IN CHRIST) and for that we are forever grateful.
Dear Mummy, continue to RIP!

Much love from your son Taiwo

Beloved Mother
My beloved mother, you are a role model. From the inception your prayer has really uphold me. I call her “Iya aladura lori omo lopolopo. Your trials and affliction testifies that Jesus is REAL. You are one of the factors that made my encounter with Christ smooth. Mummy, I wept for myself when the breaking news came to my hearing… knowing fully well that you are resting in the bosom of Abraham. You always counsel me to follow peace with all men. I remember days back whenever i hurt you and you feel disappointed, all that you give in return is OMO OLORIRE. No doubt mummy you are a vessel of Gold. You built up my faith with all your positive and prophetic utterances. One thing for sure mummy’s death is not the end of the saints. For when the trumpet shall sound you will be among the dead that will rise and we shall behold the face of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him”. 1Thessalonians 4:13-14.
Mummy I love you infinitely from the depth of my heart but the owner of your soul loves you more. Good night mummy. Jesus is Lord.

Son – Biodun Sulaiman

Mother!!!! A life of bundle of disguised blessings…
There is a lot in my heart I cannot really express it all!!!
Now that Mummy has gone I can no longer write to her, but my tribute expresses a thankfulness to the Lord God of mercy and an encouragement to all who would read, that God is truly a gracious and merciful God.
I was taught a motherly care and love from my childhood by my gentle and peace loving mother. Happy, hardworking and selfless is the core of the mother I knew in my childhood days and a very respectful woman.
Mummy, though an only child, was the sunlight of friends and family. Yes…mummy went through life in an unusual way… an only child of both parents, yet the cruelty of the reality of the fall of man led to many trials in Mummy’s life. Ah, the crisis of life that came to mum appeared to come to deprive the family of the joy we had in childhood but it was indeed used of the Lord as a means of eternal blessing to my soul, mum’s soul and my siblings souls, who have come to know the ONLY way to ETERNAL LIFE (THE LORD JESUS CHRIST), and multitudes of souls that have been led to the LORD and will still be led to the LORD. “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory”
(1 Corinthians 2:7-8).
Indeed mummy’s life of trials was a blessing in disguise to the entire Sulaiman’s family till the Lord in mercy called her to glory. My search for the healer of mummy’s health eventually led me to the Healer of man’s soul, health and all blessings of life. The Lord be glorified for His ways are past finding out.
At times it was extremely difficult to cope with lots of …. yet the Lord who is faithful saw mummy through to outlive her parents and be spared to us till the age of 74 despite all odds. Though Mummy went through life in an unusual way, she had many disguised blessings which many never enjoyed (Picture speaks…)!!. Despite all, she had an effect on each of her children which touches each child thereby each have a unique memory of her … same applies to her grandchildren.
God is indeed faithful!
I’ll always remember the stories shared with mummy, the gists, the laughters, the joys, the humours …”oro buruku t’on t’erin…” and some of the prayers that at times appear to be “over syllabus” prayers…..
I will never forget the words of coded wisdom Mummy gives to me when I act on impulse, (this without showing emotion to those around that a strong message is being passed across) to keep me in check.
Oh…. I have written a lot again … true to Mummy’s given nick name to me …. “Mai Surutu” (meaning Elejo wewe)…thankfully online tribute pages have more room for that: https://www.forevermissed.com/modupeola-victoria-sulaiman/#about

https://modupeola-sulaiman.muchloved.com/TributeSettings/Content/Submissions
The last few months of Mummy’s life were truly a blessing, and the joy of praying together with mummy for re-affirming her request for the salvation of her soul on the 3rd of Dec 2018 (a month before she answered the Lord’s call) is of deep encouragement that it is well with Mummy’s soul. So, it is not goodbye Mummy, it is just goodnight till we see in glory in the presence of the LORD JESUS Christ in HEAVEN where we meet to part no more. The Lord be glorified for mummy’s life, full of mercies, that have been used for the wellbeing of my soul.

Daughter – Sade T

My mother and more…
Mother you were the truest, dearest, more than a mother to me, you were precious gift from God, so much beauty, grace, love and patience you possessed. You touched my heart in so many ways, your strength and smile even in dark days made me realise I have an angel beside me.
Mother you heard God's whisper, calling you home but you didn't want to leave us, I saw your fight, you loved us so much that you held tight, until all your Strength was gone and you could no longer hold on. I know you will be in the blossom of the Lord Jesus Christ. I will always remember you.
May your soul rest in perfect peace. Amen!!!!! -

Daughter - Mummy Funke (Kemi)

A TRIBUTE TO MY DEAREST WIFE
Not by choice but by God's will; oh my lovely wife. The cold hands of death snatched her away from me when I least expected! I thought she would have lived longer especially now that God is showing us more mercy in our old age, but God knows the best and who am I to query God for her home call? 
"Modupeola Ajike" showed her great love for me by agreeing to leave her parents {which was extremely difficult being an only child of both parents and very close to her mother} and moved with me to the Northern part of the country after our marriage. She supported me in every way she could. A loving, caring, dutiful, meek, devoted, kind hearted, trustworthy wife and mother! My wife was a philanthropist; always ready to help the needy at her own expense, despite all odds….!
I will never forget my dear wife Modupeola Ajike. I will miss her companionship and love ♥, and never forget our togetherness. Modupeola, was a true loving mother; who took perfect care of me as her husband whenever her health permits. I will never forget her {my perfect wife} and her faithfulness to me till the end.
I deeply miss her but I can only say “Mo gba fun Olorun” with consolation that a place will be found for her amongst the righteous. May her beautiful soul rest in peace. Good night and not goodbye until the resurrection day my dearest wife.

Dear Husband – Alh. Gbola Sulaiman Aina

It’s with unexplainable surprise to hear that you have been taken away to be with the Lord. In this we are still grateful to hear that you fought the good fight of faith and lived your last days connected to the source of salvation through Jesus Christ.
We have known you from afar after a very brief contact with you in Lagos decades ago. You came across as a quiet and reserved Christian ready to please God in all ways humanly possible. We are thankful for the life you lived which keeps reminding those of us left behind that ‘Great faith is a product of great fights. Great testimonies are the outcome of great tests. Great triumphs can only come out of great trials’ (Smith Wigglesworth)
Our memory of you is forever blessed in our hearts. Good night Grandma till we meet again at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ to part no more.
The Abels

Adieu mummy! You were actually a very strong woman. You never allowed challenges around you to drown you, instead you fought so hard to float above them all. I enjoyed the short period of knowing you. I actually enjoyed your company each time then. May your gentle soul rest in the bossom of our Lord Jesus Christ. We sure will miss you ma'am.

My sister Modupeola left so soon without any farewell message to me. Can I say or ask why you left so soon? Who am I? God knows why you have left. I pray God shall comfort us while I wish you a perfect rest at Jesus' bosom. Good night.

You are a wonderful unique mother in law.. In your life style, you made me know that there are some people one cannot blame, fault, abuse or reject. You made me understand that no matter how strong human being could be, there are something he/ she won't be able to control except by divine intervention. I miss your English phonics. I enjoy speaking English with you
You are a great encourager who allow people make their decisions irrespective of their personalities. I love you and I will miss you
Keshiro Damilola

My loving mum, gist partner, encourager...   it so saddened my heart anytime I remember I won't see you again, but I'm joyous because you have gone to rest from all the struggles and tough time of this life. My sweet mum... Mummy mummy when I want to make u laugh, though you went through a lot, I believe you are victorious just as your name. I remembered your words of encouragement when passing through tough times, 
There was a time in my life that I looked back and didn't see anyone but you were always there, even when my faith was down you never gave up on me. I love u a lot wura mi.. Continue to rest in the bosom of your saviour... So many things I would want you to see with me but I believe God knows the best. Good night sweetest mum till we meet again at the saviours feet. I will always remember and cherish your motherly role.
Keshiro Toyin

I am in great shock to hear of your demise. I can never ever forget you. You are a mum to me . Thank you for being part of m,y teenage years. You will be forever remembered . Adieu mama.
