The news came unexpectedly but thanks be to God for his word which gives us hope and assurance of a rest that remains in you. Moji, you were such a blessing and honor to us from the father and its a blessing to have known you.

I personally saw a genuine gentleness, love and a good heart in you, not only for your family but everyone around you. Thank you for those special moments standing in the gap when Ayokunle was a little boy.

Your time here was very short but you finished the race strong in the Lord. You will be missed but the goodness and kindness you showed to all lingers on forever.

My dear Moji, you went too soon and the may the good Lord protect your children. You were a child of God who knew the Lord till the end.May your soul rest in peace. You have paved the perfect way for your children to know Christ and that is the most important gift you have given them. From all the tributes I have read you inspired a lot of people, gave them hope, wonderful and selfless person with an epitome of grace which is a great gift. We thank God for your life. You went too soon but God knows best. We met a long time ago at Bola's place in London and cousin to my family. You will surely be missed.

Moji ! You have left this world! But would forever remain in our heart !

Is it the carrying and loving warm heart with which you welcome us your cousins to your home? Or is it the loving and striking caring soul like that of your mum that you posses that we can ever forget?

We are thankfully for the loving memory you left us with!!! Rest in Peace Mojisola omo Adesanya!! May God guard your husband and the children you left behind.

And as sis Denrele wrote you celebrated God before you left this world now you are rejoicing with him!!!

Blessings to him who knows best!!!

Dear Aunt Moji,

Through Tolu I felt your warmth and love.

We all know earth isn't home. You are where you belong.

Rest in peace.

Moji, when Bola informed me of your sickness, we were asked to pray and fasted for miracle for you. You were a generous sister. Kind hearted. I could remember one of your shopping trip to Brent Cross one summer
years back. You asked me with your smile "sister Dupe se eyin oni ra nkan ni' I told you in the Arabic l could still remember from serving in Libiya that mafisi fluse. Meaning no money. You bought me a raincoat. The best I owned. I cannot thank
you enough for your numerous generousity. As l always say, givers never lack. All you have done to help people, your children will surely reap it. I pray that God will watch over your children and family you left behind. Continue to rest in peace until we meet to part no more.

I just had to leave a note...

"Aunty Moji! gone ke?! somebody please wake me up!"

That is the general reaction...the shock and disbelief of your passing is palpable. Ha aunty! it was too soon now. Ba se so ko yi! what about my wedding? Adebusola's own too! You specifically said i would decorate Adebusola's engagement baskets like the ones i usually do for your clients (friends and acquaintances) you said i had better start getting better ideas as Adebusola's must be FANTASTIC! "Won a gba" those were your words...

I will miss your gists (no more igbosere stop bys for me now :( *sigh*), it didn't matter i am your niece. you drew me close. you drew us close...my brother and i, you took us as your children too!

i will miss your humor, you even heard "pakuru mo" before me...i still remember the glint in your eyes when you sang it for me in your chambers...ha!

i will miss your bright smile, you accepted any gift i gave you no matter how small. i remember how you relished the goodies basket i made for you...the gurudi, chinchin, chukchuk, etc and now even the one i made special with scented candle and bath salt with ankara souvenir...you said "jo ba mi toju e, ma gba ti ba de" meaning you would collect when you return. but u never did

i will miss your motherly advice and straight talk.... you told me "love is not blind o" "you must wear goggles" and "even magnifying glass if required" (please read in yoruba translation)

you taught me how to be a lady...how to dress, how to comport myself. you showed me how to be a business woman, to be enterprising, how to present myself. you showed me how to step up my game.

Aunty Moji o! you will forever be in my heart. my mentor, my friend, my mother...heaven has certainly gained an angel. sun re o!

i dedicate this song to your memory "i can only imagine" by casting crown

To our Lord Jesus be all the glory though a very short time but a complete live. God created us to be fruitful, multiple and enjoy dominion on earth. God gave you the GRACE to have achieved all the above in your very short existence.

The last prayer of our Lord, Jesus is that we MUST leave good heritance to our Children to the next 10th generation. God allowed you to accomplished wealth creation for your children.

I am sure you are now seated with our Lord, Jesus in PEACE, but your duty is not COMPLETED because she who leaves this earth with young children will NOT SLEEP until she knows are CHILDREN have achieved ALL that she HOPED for them in her life time.

Therefore, ALL friends and family - This is to you all "Mo - ji - so - la" now have the POWER to KNOW ALL THINGS and SEE ALL THINGS, you all now have DIVINE OPPORTUNITY to love and care for her children the way you all know she loved them and cared for them.

REST WITH OUR LORD JESUS, still we all meet again, amen.

I will never forget your infectious smile, your generous nature and how you always had an aura about you. The last time we were together, we prayed and sang a lot of songs mainly in yoruba and even though I knew you were in pain your faith never dwindled and I will always be in awe of that. Rest in peace sis Moji. Niyi, Mojoyin and I will miss you dearly.

Sis Mojie (like my mom calls you).

Still unbelievable.you were ever so elegant and fashionable,always smiling, a strong woman of faith,a soldier.

You will be greatly missed Sis Moji, but you've fought a good fight and won the race.
I take solace in the word of christ,
I take solace because you never stopped believing in the power of prayer.
I take solace knowing your soul is free,free and no hurt nor pain could
ever come to you again.

Life and death is beyond our control and if it pleases God to take you to be with him,we cannot question him.

Rest in peace Sis Mojie.

This still feels like a bad dream, I remember the times we spent together at Randle and Bode Thomas. I will cherish those memories. You were such a strong and dedicated woman and stood by your belief.I am glad we spoke before you passed, you will forever be in my thoughts sis Moj. I will miss your lovely smile and jokes. A peace has fallen upon your head, I wish you sweet sleep as you rest in the Lord. Your dear aburo

My dear Aunty Moji

This has all been a great shock for me.
I know you must be in the bossom of our Lord but that gives me little
comfort.
I miss your smile and the great advice you always give. It just doesn't seem right in any way that you are gone so soon.
Thank you for being the big egbon I needed you to be always supporting my work.
You will be greatly missed.
love you lots sis Moj

........I saw some tributes to you in the papers yesterday and they caught my eyes - something was familiar about your smile...but I assumed it was 'cos of your family name......

Then I saw you severally in the tributes in Punch today.....then the one from your siblings and it came crashing in....Tolu & Toun's Sis!

I never met you, but that strong and warm smile - from Mama@Fountain, Toun,Tolu...that was what seemed so familiar yesterday...!

To Live is Christ, to die is Gain....you're in a better place now!

Wishing the Families you left behind the Grace and strength in Christ to carry on!

"Didun ni iranti olododo". I never met you in your short pilgrimage on earth, but the first tribute in Punch Newspaper caught my attention, then i realised that a lot of other pages contained the tribute.
I told myself that this must be a very lovely woman, you have what i call 'the healing smile". The tributes here speak volume.

Ah!!!! What a wonder you are Oh Lord!.

My dear friend of over 34years, its amazing! I thank God for the time we spent together from M.G.H.S days to University of Lagos and Law school,and the the practice of our profession etc. You on the bench and yours truly at the Bar. I thank God that we have Christ as our Lord and Savior.

What can I render o Lord My God!!!

Thank You Oh Lord For Moji's Life. I know you have translated in to the bosom of our Lord Jesus, But I I still miss you for now. Do have a blissful rest. You deserve it my sister and friend.

To Moji's siblings, family and colleagues Eku oro eniyan. May the Almighty God and the Comforter, comfort you all at this time.

To Dewunmi Ogunsanya (Papa Fouad as I call you) and the Children I am so sorry; may the Almighty Allah keep you all and grant Moji peaceful rest in Al-Jan'at.

God Bless you all. Yours, Toyin Bashorun.(Tbash)

Tribute to Moji Ogunsanya, my cousin and friend.
I am finding it so difficult to write about Moji in the past tense... I have known her all my life as my cousin, and we grew, as a friend.
Moji was beautiful and graceful, inside out, with the most amazing smile that would melt the heart of anyone. When we were growing up, Moji and her two older sisters, Denrele and Bola reminded me of Charlie’s Angels, beautiful, tall and graceful.
My cousin Moji was a good wife, and natural mother, lavishing Dewunmi and their beautiful children with love and attention; her four well-mannered children are a living testimony to her motherhood.
She was a great homemaker, cooking, cleaning and everything in her house had its’ place; I can remember telling her that her house was always tidy and in order and that she was lucky to have such great staff and her response to me was that she did the work herself when everyone (including the staff) had gone to bed!
She was a go-getter and excelled in everything she laid her hands on… Her wisdom as a magistrate in Lagos and the exquisite taste she had reflected in her dressing and jewelry she wore and sold.
She was a good cousin and a giver; we spent hours on end in those days in her parents’ house in Unilag and IIupeju gisting. I will miss her delicious cooking and the South African steak and ribs from her and Dewunmi! If not for Moji, I won’t be working in Chevron; we went to pick her up from Prime Merchant bank in Tinubu Square, one evening in 1989 when I saw Gulf Oil Company (now Chevron) next to her building and I thought it would be a good idea to work in the Company… 
The memories go on and on... is it the beautiful parties we had when she got married or the happy times we all had in her parents’ house in Unilag and Ilupeju
Moji was a good Christian and loved the Lord with all her heart and mind and served him till the end. Although I am sad that she left us so early, I know that she has gone to rest with our Maker and God will look after the family she left behind.
Till we meet again at Jesus feet. 
Love

Moji,

going through the obituaries placed in the papers, there was something about your smile and name (Adesanya) which was vaguely familiar, until I read in one of the tributes that you attended Unilag Staff School and that Denrele is your older sister. Denrele and I were classmates at Unilag Staff School, and yes, we all grew up together in Unilag. My family lived on Ozolua road.

My prayer is that God will comfort your loved ones. It's also comforting to know that you knew the Lord. This makes me know from the scriptures that you are in a much better place, resting from your earthly travails.

Sleep on Moji, until we meet on the resurrection morning.

Mommy Fuad, as I love to call you. You lived your life with integrity, care for others and with joy. For there are no sad moment around you.
I remember when you came to Los Angeles years ago and we had a good time driving around LA, not very certain where were heading but we made the best of it with the our kids.
Even though God's plan did not line up with my expectation, I choose to praise Him for your life. You had a personal relationship with God when you were here. For having the salvation of God you have added life to your life. In this I am comforted.
The Lord will continue to keep and comfort your family. Sun re O my darling in law!

My sincere condolences to the entire family. So sorry to hear about your loss. We tried to catch you in London via a phone call but could not and actually spoke to your brother. I know that you're a strong believer and God will strengthen you and the entire family.

There are no explanations for certain events in life but the God of eternal comfort will keep you, heal your heart and do more than you can imagine to ensure her role and place in your family will not remain void.

I pray that God will strengthen and keep the whole family, he will make his face to shine on you and give you his peace that passes understanding. May HIS joy never depart from your homes and may her light continue to shine on. Thank God as believers, we have hope, we know she's resting in the bosom of our Lord and Savior. That hope will remain your anchor until you meet again...

You are in our prayers always and will be in touch once you're back home.

Blessings...

Sis Moj,

      It’s so hard writing this tribute and placing you in the past. I was just reading your last bb message and you assured me that everything was fine and you’re not going anywhere. But I know you’re with the Lord….. You’re the true epitome of elegance and grace. Forever the fashionista…. Like so many I had the privileged of spending my childhood at Emotan Close (Unilag). I’ll treasure those memories forever…I admired you tirelessly; your strength is like none other, your genuine kindness, your infectious laugh, your selflessness and most especially your unconditional Love for the Lord… I’m still in shock!!!

I’m eternally grateful for the constant love and support you showed towards our family especially my mum. Even in the midst of everything you were still asking me to comfort her…Just a true testament of who you truly are… She will miss you sooo much….We will all miss you so much.

Words can’t express the big void we would feel…. but you’re resting sweetly in the bosom of the Lord.

Love you

Funmi Kalejaiye (your cousin)

MY TRIBUTE TO MOJI

"Beauty Moje" That was your appellation. That was how I always called you. Deep in my heart, your memory is kept. You were loved and shall never be forgotten.
Growing up, you were one of my most beautiful and beloved little cousins. Your smile was always a beacon of light to those around you.
A cluster of memories sprinkled with tears, Wishing God had speared you a few more years.
I remember most times when I drove my mom (Mama Ilesha) to visit with her sister (Your Mom) in Lagos. Brother Jide, Brother Jide, you always called me. You were always excited to see me and I could palpate the genuineness of the love and kindness that you had for me and my brothers anytime we came by. Although time may pass and fade away , words may be few and thoughts may be deep but memories of you will always stay. 
I recalled the wonderful things that you did. You always fried Dodo and brought some into Olumide's boy's quarter apartment at Akoka just to be sure we were fed and well taken care of.
I remember several years ago when you visited me and my family in Los Angeles, you made sure you spent at least one night. Despite all that I had to offer was a tiny little apartment. I watched you as you slept comfortably on my living room couch.
These were some small gestures of love that matter a lot. Never selfish, always loving and kind. These are memories you leave behind.
God bless you and keep you in His care until we meet again.

What can I say, what can I do oh Lord, You’re too much for me….

MOJI SI OLA!!!!!!!!

I have had to painfully accept your demise. Who am I to question God. I do not understand all things but God understands. O ye Olorun.

Mojisola you were full of hope to the very end. You had strong faith. Infact you wrote in your bible “stuborn faith”, “aggressive faith”. I am exceedingly grateful to God for the opportunity to spend the last month of your life with you in Germany.

It is one of the best month of my life. I will forever treasure the moments we shared together, the laughters, gists, holding hands together, massaging your whole body especially your feet (which you always requested as a treat). You always call me ‘sister mi flo’ (as in Florence Nightingale). I wish I had done more…laughed more, massaged you more, kissed your forehead more, held your hands more, hugged you more… if I new this were the last moments we will share together.

The bible says in all things we should give God thanks. That is His will concerning us. I thank God that we were able to pour out our hearts…I thank God for emotional healing, for restoration and rebuilding relationships. I thank God for allowing you to live to see your 49th birthday and for allowing me to share it with you. You requested that the only gift you wanted for your birthday was to worship and thank God on your behalf. A 24 hour worship chain was set up for that purpose. From 12 midnight March 12th to 12midnight, March 13th. Your family and friends all over the world joined you to give God a 24 hour worship He so deserves. I believe strongly that God accepted our Worship and Thanksgiving on your behalf. It came to Him as a sweet smelling savor.

Mojisola I take solace in the fact, that your spirit and soul is with the Lord, That you have no more pain, no more struggles…You are at peace with your maker. Rejoicing and joining the heavenly hosts in worshiping God. (what you love doing). I will always miss you and I know that God will ensure that your children will be taken care of. They will not suffer. God has His hands upon them. He has His hands wrapped around them. They will grow up, graduate from university, get married, have children, they will fulfill their purpose. Build on the legacy to left behind in Jesus name.

Mojisola may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Your Loving Sister

Gone Too Soon - Mojisola

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again".

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

I will always cherish the beautiful memories in Hillcrest Court, Kilburn and Dean Road, Willesden Green with the Aunty Soji's , Aunty Lola's, and all of us. hmmmm, good old days.

Moji you were so elegant, so stylish, so full of life, and that your smile- was worth a thousand words , you won that battle with flying colours and God has another angel.

Rest In Peace

Tribute to my dear sister


I cant believe I am having to write this tribute, the last thing you said to me was Toun don’t worry I will be fine, we will celebrate Mosope’s wedding together. You had such a strong faith even thou I knew you were doing all you could to cover all you were going through.
In my head you have travelled on one of your long trips and in my heart I will cherish every precious moment we had together, I will miss your wit, your sarcasm, your Yoruba proverbs and your African magic tales
I am proud of the sound training you gave your children and I have no doubt that your children will excel and make you proud.

Good night my sis moj. Say hello to mummy and daddy cause I know you are not alone.
You will forever be in my thought

I love you

Aunty I remember clearly the last time I saw you on this earth. We were on our way leaving the house, trying to catch the last leaving train of the night. I walked into the living room to say my good byes where you sat alone on the chair opposite the door. You smiled at me, and I smiled back. You gathered the strength to say the words "bye Derin" and now I find myself trying to summon that same strength to accept them. It is truly unfortunate that you were taken from us so early but another thing I've brought myself to understand and accept is that God truly knows best. You are in a better place right now and that is all the comfort we need. So rest in peace my dear Aunty Moji, your memory is embedded in our hearts forever. Your loving niece, Derin.

Sis Moji my best in-law with a heart of gold, was an awesome, selfless and wonderful person.It's so unfortunate, that life had to part us this way. Am still in total shock, to my bones on how to still accept this heartfelt news. My ride and companion to all the Fajemisin functions. In that short while I can say, we were close but I think back now it was all for a reason we crossed each others part. My Sister, Bunmi kuku worked under you at the Magistrate Court Yaba and kept on giving gists about this Magistrate that likes her so much and little did we know our parts wld cross.You were so hilarious, loving the latest Yoruba music that came out and wanting to buy to take to the kids in England.The first time I heard ja misi was from you and ii said Sis Moj haaaa and then you went jamisi Jo. I would miss my butter scotch candy. Adieu Sis Moj would miss u so dearly. i woke up the early morning of Saturday the 23rd calling your Mtn no and it kept on ringing, then I was saying to myself Sis Moj pick up this phone now, just for me to get a call 7hrs later. Would miss all your gists. Adieu Sis Moj I would miss you so dearly. I take solace that you are having an eternal rest in peace. So sad you left this way. Adieu! Adieu! Adieu!. The creator of heavens and earth understands better. I can't believe I got to write this tribute about you.Gists on how you would plan Adebusola's wedding and other plans . Hummmmmmm.Continue to rest in perfect peace as you take thy holy rest. My love forever Tosin Somolu Fajemisin.
