Time flies indeed. It's two years already. Continue to rest in peace dear mummy. You are now a star shining bright in Heaven
We will always love you

How time flies quickly . We really miss your advise and guidance whenever required. You are a treasured Aunty. A tall beautiful, elegant Lady of Saint Mulumba. A wonderful wife of dear Uncle, caring, loving mother and grandmother. She welcomed everyone with open arms and rendered all assistance to anyone in need. A virtuous woman who stood beside the husband, children, grandchildren, family and friends. Prov 31 vs 10 - 31 says it all.
We take solace in our conviction that you are already in the bosom of your creator. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in perfect peace Amen . Lord look after the family left behind as they take refuge in you AMEN .
Bisi & Deola Olaoye

Dear mummy

It's been a year already since you went to be with the Lord. We are consoled because you are now a star shining bright in Heaven.
Continue to rest in perfect peace until we meet at the feet of Jesus Christ our Lord.

I find it difficult to believe that it is already a year ago you left this sinful world to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. I still miss you as your sister in Jesus Christ but i believe that there is another fellowship in heaven. Sleep on sister and take your rest until we shall meet to part no more in the fellowship in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.

Worthy Sister you are forever in our thoughts. May your sweet soul continue to rest in peace. Sleep on ma. Bro Roger Okoruwa

Time actually flies, but our memories of you will not fly-away anytime soon.
Continue to find rest with your Creator and keep interceding for your husband, your children, and your grandchildren whom you left behind.
Adieu Mama!

Just dawned on me, it would have been another year yesterday! May you continue to rest in peace, aunty Mosun ✝

Oh dear Mother,
As we celebrate your birthday posthumously today, we remain consoled with the following words from the scriptures:
"The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish, they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction, and their going forth from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full of immortality" (Wisdom 3:1-4).
Happy birthday Mum, keep interceeding for us all until we meet again at the resurrection morning.

Happy Post Humous Birthday aunty Mosun. Continue to rest in peace.

Dear aunty,

Your passing has come as a huge shock to us. Although many years have gone by since we saw you, memories of you during our childhood are vivid. Your strength was exemplary, a strength you possessed and displayed till your final breath. You were a true example of how a woman could have a thriving career and still manage her home smoothly. You always put your family first.

We will never forget how we always looked forward to the sleepovers, the fantastic meals (always ready for the family even when you were not around) and the warmth we always felt in your beautiful home. These are one of the fondest memories we have growing up in shell camp Port Harcourt. You were a great example of a mother and wife and it is no surprise you raised five wonderful children, all of whom we are sure you were very proud of.

Aunty, our only comfort in your passing is that you are definitely resting with our God in heaven where there’s no more pain, looking down on us and interceding on our behalf.
You will be sorely missed and until we meet again, rest on.

Children of O.T Amadasun

Dearest Aunty Mosun,

I remember you and always will, very fondly. You were always kind spirited, kind with words asking after and about each one of us. You were easy to talk to and laugh with, even when you had something difficult to say, you laid it down in an uplifting way. I always left your presence feeling elevated.

You were light. You taught me through your actions what respect truly is, how to treat others regardless of the circumstances and make them feel loved and relevant. You chose to understand first before being understood and that is definitely a virtue that has not passed me by - I recognised it in you. I will forever remember you as soft spoken, firm and kind; with your words, your actions and your smile.

I am so pleased that even when I saw you last, even in your pain you left me with an imprint of that smile you wear ever so gracefully.

You will be sorely missed my darling Aunty Mosun but my memories of you will be kept FOREVER in my heart ❤️. May your soul rest in peace .

My dear Aunty Mosun...loyal friend (more like sister) to my late mother, God-mother to my Sister...a near permanent fixture in my life...all my life.
Aunty Mosun...very calm, very sensible, very pragmatic...not easily fazed. A woman of peace, soft spoken...a true mother.
Dear Aunty, as you know...I loved my mother very, very much and by extension I had special relationships with her close friends, of which you were one of the closest, and in the nearly three decades since her passing, you remained a steady source of comfort, reassurance, encouragement and love.
As I reminisce over these last 40+ years that I have known you I have smiled, I have laughed and I have cried but above all I have been very thankful to God for you were indeed a blessing.
I was recently sharing with Oma (one of my earliest bestos), my memories of your car - a circa 1980 Daihatsu (air conditioned!) which I always loved to be driven in and how you would always indulge me because everyone knew how much I loved cars. I still remember the colour and registration number (BD 180 K) of that car to this very day!
Dear Aunty, you are to be laid to rest today and it just seemed critical and very important that I pen these words before the final goodbyes. I remember our last telephone conversation when you called to congratulate me...the pride in your voice was unmistakable. I may not have had the opportunity to say this often...but I really loved, admired and appreciated you. Thank you very much for being there for my siblings and I till the very end. You were a TRUE FRIEND. I can only just imagine the sheer excitement and joy when you and your Patience meet again on the other side! Please give her a big hug for us o!!

Rest in peace Aunty Mosun and may God give Uncle Godfrey, Oma, Kike, Funmi, Erumse, Obehi and the rest of us the fortitude to trudge on without you.

May Mama's soul continue to rest in perfect peace in the Lord

I highly admired sister Mosunmade’s good disposition to all persons (family, friends, other persons) that she related with. Her good thoughts, advice and actions to people were clear demonstration of her high desire to practice Christianity well. I highly cherish the sisterly love that she had for me.

May the soul of sister Mosunmade and the souls of all the Faithful Departed through the Mercy of God Rest In Peace, Amen. May God grant her family and other highly impacted persons the fortitude to bear her earthly departure.

Apostle Paul's declaration of being the "least qualified" is how I write this...
You talked to me like you had known me from before before.

Ma...your songs and the GRACE given you...most people do NOT have...

Verily, verily, from that axis, SOMEONE made it home (HEAVEN) early on Tuesday 20th October, 2020 because later that day, the land suffered.

Pa Odigie, sir, I pray the Comforter (Holy Spirit) comfort you, IJN.

According to the Bible, truly, no-one knows their day nor their hour, when they will be called to give account, so to the rest of us I say, live like Jesus is coming NOW.

You may have passed on, but your memories would always live on within all that know you. Although our worlds are different as it may seem; but I know and believe that you’re in Heaven. I thank God for the wonderful and fulfilled time you had while on earth and I thank God for the wonderful family and descendants that you created. As your time has come as it does for everyone to meet our maker; May God see you through it and May only God consoles your families and friends IJN. Amen

My beloved Sis Mo as I always called you, as the journey begins,I bless God for knowing you, for the beautiful person and the beautiful heart you are; for the privilege of sharing your love and amazing hospitality; for your kindness and generosity, for the lessons taught and learned simply by listening to and observing you.
Thank you so much for that delicious Ukodo I enjoyed in London ; an attestation to your insightful and caring nature. I pray angels ever bright and fair take you to their care, safe into paradise and into the loving arms of our Lord Jesus.
Brethren in the church in Walton On Thames , Surrey, who assiduously prayed for you, commend you into the bosom of God
Your memory shall always be a blessing.
Oby Anubi

Rest In Peace ma! It was absolutely amazing meeting you in Ghana when you came to visit Funmi and her family. Thank you for your words of wisdom and encouragement. Funmi, no words can describe how sorry I am for your loss. The memory of your Mother will give you comfort, and her legacy live through you all. I pray God comforts the whole family at these difficult time. It is well. Sleep well ma.
Love
The Gbojuwos

Oh! my dearest auntie Mosun, my heart skipped a bit when i heard about your demise. It hurts so badly but I'm grateful to God that such an angel as you have been received in heaven. Continue to rest peacefully in the bosom of our Lord. Foreverinmyheart

A Tribute For Mosunmade Arike Odigie.

It is with sadness that I write this. The main reason for this sorrow is due to the fact that I did not expect it. Yes, you were ill before but your recovery had reached an advanced stage that no one expected what happened.
I found in you a great woman of faith and selflessness.
Your rejection of what was diagnosed was deep and sure. Coming from a Christian background, you showed what Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Behold I am with you till the end of time”. Your recovery demonstrated the reality of our faith. This is why your death came as a shock to me and many other people.
We met for the first time at the Church of Transfiguration Vitoria Garden City. It was a sort of magnetic pull from people of like minds. The fact that you are married to a man from my ethnic group deepened our friendship. You had a beautiful heart Mosun. You spoke Ishan language, and received each person beautifully.
I am particularly grateful to you for your frequent visit to me when my husband was sick and after his death.
It is interesting to note that one of your daughters and her husband are close friends of my son.
Your exit is painful but I believe that God will receive your beautiful soul into His Kingdom. Rest In Peace dear Mosun.

By Mrs. Elizabeth Grace Atiomo

Tribute to an unforgettable woman

Aunty, in all the years I knew you, I was always awed by your grace, passion and commitment to your family. Your passion, love and affection for all was displayed in your deeds. You were a woman of action and strength.You were also a leader, an incredible example of determination, and a wonderful role model for all of us. You disciplined your children in love unto maturity. You showed that love and discipline go hand in hand and that continues to resound in the lives of your children.
You lived a fruitful surrendered life which we hope we can emulate. You were a woman of strong faith. You fought the good fight and you kept your faith to the very end. Each time we called to check on you, you pointed us right back to God, so we stayed our minds on the Lord and kept watching and praying. I know that day comes for everyone because it's a debt we all owe. Aunty, no more pain, no sorrow, no sickness. You may be gone from our midst but you are not gone from our hearts.
Though your passing has made us sad, I am honored to have known you. Although we mourn your passing, we hope we can all celebrate your life. Until we meet again aunty, may God hold you in the palm of His hands and continue to console the entire family. Rest in perfect peace my dear aunty.

I am glad that I had the blessing of knowing my Grandma. She was wonderful to me and showed compassion and care everyday that I was with her and even when I was away from her. I am thankful for all the lessons she taught me, her urges to work hard and pray consistently. I am going to miss her presence and her kindness but I am happy that God blessed me with to know her and learn from her.

May her soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Aunty Mosun, meeting you for the first time I thought you were stern I sat next to you in church. From there I got to know you better. You were beautiful inside and out. You cared. You had that special way of calling my name. You never shied from saying things as they were. I learnt from you. We kept on praying for you till the end. May your soul rest in perfect peace. Patricia

We, the Executive and members of thr Catholic Women Organisation of Catholic Church of the Transfiguration, VGC were priviledged to have Aunty Mosun as our member, for many years.

She was always a delight to see- a clear light, always with a smile, a kind word and wise counsel for the group and its members. She was active and passionate about the evangelism of people. She attended the retreats and joined in works of charity, to the glory of God and for the good of the church.

We will miss Aunty Mosun greatly but we are consoled that she is, in the bosom of her Creator, wrapped with the mantle of our Lady, whom she loved very much.

May God console the family and grant you peace in the knowledge that she did well- a true soldier of Christ!

May the soul of our dear Sister, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in the peace- Amen.

Farewell our beautiful Sister❤️

Through Mary our Mother... We Succeed!

My grandma was in many ways an admirable person; from the way she carried herself, to the values that she held, and just the type of person she was, she was always someone to look up to. One of her many great qualities was her unwavering faith in God, and in those she held dear. She was never the sort of person to allow minute obstacles stop her from moving forward; and she helped so many people along the way. Regardless of how many times I would stumble and fall she never for once gave up on me; that determination and faith has driven me to be better and to continue to move forward.
Thank you so much for everything you taught me, Grandma. Your memory will continue to live on and be ever green in my life.
May your soul Rest In Peace, Grandma.

Our beautiful Aunty Mosun, you are a most treasured, loving mom to us all. We are so grateful to God for the life you lived and legacy you ve left for us all.

I ll never forget the last time I visited you: you were positive, full of praise and grace. The love, care and devotion that daddy showed to you left an indelible mark in my heart. You were blessed with the best! Your children rise up and call you blessed!

Rest in peace precious Grand ma and Mummy to us all. We love you!

When I heard the news, it hurt so much because I didn’t visit you before you left London as I was so sure I would see you some other time...

Years ago, during my NYSC days, Funmi and I met in camp. You warmly welcomed me into your family and home even though at the time I was Funmi’s very “new friend”.

You would always ask about my parents when I called to check on you and I could almost see you smile through the phone. This was a testament of your warm and caring nature.

I pray God gives the family all the strength that is needed. Amen

You will be sorely missed. Adieu, Rest in peace ma x

TRIBUTE TO MY AUNTY.

When on that sad and faithful Tuesday morning a call was put across to me by Dr O. Fakankun (uncle Akanbi) telling me that you have passed on, I was in total shock, confused and devastated. I felt my only life wire to my Fakankun lineage has passed on, because you made sure you were always there for us AYO FAKANKUN’s children, you promised me long ago that I should always keep you in formed when we have any thing doing, and you kept to your words and stood by us until the demise of our mother.

You were the Fakankun we knew, you carried the mantle my big mummy (Mama Awoyinka) handed over to you when she passed on. Mama was the Daddy we grew up to know from a very tender age . She always visited us in Benin, and tried filling that vacum. Aunty, when we spoke last after the demise of my brother Olusegun Fakankun, I thought all was well as you just had your last chemo. But I have come to realise that life is all vanity, it's a mirage which appears in a moment and soon disappears. I know if it's something within your competence you would not have accepted to depart from this world, you would have considered your children and husband. But death is beyond human control.

Aunty Mosun I give God the Glory for the life you lived, you were the best mum any child could wish for, Humility personified, unassuming, easily approachable and detribalized woman to the core. A Christian per excellence .We the CATHOLIC FAMILY will mis you but I Remi will mis you more. You have fought a good fight and you have won the crown of victory. You are Heaven's gain. May the angels receive your soul and present it to God the most high and may your soul and the souls of all the faithful departed true the mercy of God rest in peace Amen. Give her eternal rest O LORD and may your light shine on her for ever until we shall meet on the resurrection day to part no more. Adieu.

By REMI FAKANKUN AKANDE. on behalf of Ayo Fakankun children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

MY AUNTY MOSUN. A tribute by A. Olu. Edeki

I have known her practically from when I was born as our parents were close family friends. They were the few western educated people of their time who had the onerous responsibility to elevate the rural communities to modernity. They were teachers, tutors, book distribution agents etc.

I remember that our parents would have church socials and the children would be separated from the adults. I was a toddler then and my big Aunty Mosun would be put in charge of us. She had power over us as she was in charge of the controlling instrument of office: chin chin, biscuits, sweets and krola served only in very small cups !! I always got her attention as I shouted and yelled the loudest "Auntie ". As I was one of the youngest, I got what I wanted with the attendant running stools that would later follow !!

Fast forward fifteen years later, our paths crossed again in Edo College, Benin City  (in Idia college campus ). She was one of only three ladies in the all boys secondary school and they were in the H. Sc. class. She came across one rascally, attention seeking boy called Olu. Edeki who will always seek attention of the mature ladies. I guess I may have been the only one or very few boys she may have known in her youth. When she got to know that I was the same rascally Olugbohun, I got very endeared to her. The gap in size was still there. Calling her "Aunty Mosun"had to continue as many a times, she will buy me " epa ". The ladies were hostelled in a building just outside the Edo College gate and so they had access to those kinds of "papanu" that made life sweet and we who were 'imprisoned' inside the school compound were not allowed to eat !!

As the youngest student in my class, I was sorely oppressed by my classmates. They were very envious of me and my epa and sweets, which they saw my Auntie Mosun would give me. I used Aunty Mosun’s epa and sweets to negotiate that I be respected as as a fellow classmate !!! And I succeeded!!

Fast forward another 30 years. We all met in Shell petroleum. Uncle Godfrey, her husband and myself were in Warri while she had to remain to work in Port Harcourt. In running errands for her, she had to come to my house for a parcel from Uncle Godfrey She was very impressed with the garden I had. She would say that this is the way we had fruits around us when we were young. We hardly paid for fruits. They were there for the picking to eat in between meals. I was happy that I had something to remind us of our happy youth!!. So she picked as much fruit and vegetables as she wanted. Olu. Can I take this? I was happy to say. Auntie Mosun. Yes you can.

Meeting later in our adult life, Auntie Mosun always talked about families and this gave us nostalgic feelings that made us very glad. Now she is gone, I shall surely miss her. Rest in peace in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen.

My grandma could be described as a very stubborn woman, so stubborn in fact that she wouldn’t even let her illness take away her life without a fight.

For the past year she has bravely fought through cancer and has remained strong and fearless for every step.

She was a very special woman who lived a full life and is survived by 11 grandchildren who will miss her terribly

She played a big part of both my childhood and adulthood, dropping very memorable quotes and words of advice that has shaped me into the man I am today

Grandma’s faith was so strong I’m sure she is now at the right hand of the Lord and is looking down on us wishing we continue to live life in joy and success

Love you grandma, may your soul rest in perfect peace

WE MISS YOU BUT .........,

Although we are saddened that mummy is no longer with us, we are grateful to God for her beautiful life and especially for the happy memories we shared and which we shall treasure.
Mummy’s permanent smile was infectious and welcoming. Mummy was caring, she wanted to know how everyone was doing. She accompanied me to Emike’s school when there were performances and she was able to attend. Mummy always insisted that we had something to eat or drink whenever we visited.
I remember our trips to Costco and I smile. Our jokes about gold versus golf and other interesting conversations we had.
Mummy was strong and she fought a good fight. Now you are resting and you’re free from pain. We are assured that you are in a better place, with our Heavenly Father. We ask that you intercede for us  May you enjoy Eternal rest till we meet again to part no more Amen.
May the good Lord bless and strengthen daddy who stood by you all through and may God bless your children for all they did to make you comfortable, Amen.

It took me time to do this but glad to do this last Honour to you, Aunty Mosun!

Talking about the Odigie side of the families, I will be reckoned to be the closest niece to you, aunty Mosun. From way back as children in the 70s both homes exchanging visits and being at every child's birthday while in Benin-City to my epic entry into Federal Government College, Warri in 1981 where I started as a day student and stayed in the house for a term until there was space for me to be in the hostel. The first classmates I got to know were through you via their parents, Orighomisan Akporiaye and Olaitan Obaseki incidentally we were in same arm "D" and now are married women. All the items needed for my boarding were provided by you, greatly appreciate the provision and care as a day student.
Thereafter, it was mid-term breaks and some holidays all through the secondary school to even my university years when I came for vacation jobs in Port-Harcourt, including NYSC. Then couple of years after graduation, when uncle called me to pick up a job in Warri I was back to living with the family again for another few years. There have been diverse visits thereafter till we (my family & I) came to Lagos for the Christmas Season 2017/2018, thankfully you were hale and fine then.
The preceding is just a little drive into the past that reminds me of how long we have been relating as family with other relatives along the way till when you became ill. I couldn't come to see you then but I talked to you as often as I could brave it for your challenge bothered me and I did pray for your Healing. Though ill, you were very concerned for me when I experienced some losses.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about HIS people from henceforth even for ever (Psalm 125:2), so I have come to see in your demise. You put up a brave fight but rest is what you needed and GOD has called HIS daughter to rest from all the pains.
As painful as your demise is to many especially uncle Godfery, one cannot but appreciate that you had several wins in life even death was almost defeated but "there is a season and a time to every purpose under the Heaven (Eccl 3:1)! And the Best Life is being with our LORD JESUS CHRIST!
May CHRIST Perpetual Light shine upon you, aunty Mosun, do continue to rest in peace
With love from
Donna Osasumwen Aimiuwu (Mrs.)
Abuja

By their fruits, we shall know them...
Never met you in person Mama, but met your "fruit" (Mrs Kikelomo) and need i say you're indeed blessed. A testament to what I believe was a life well spent.
Rest on Mama, and don't forget to pray for us as you behold the face of God. You'll be greatly missed.

Requiescat in pace

It was with a very sad heart, that we the members of the Edo-Delta Association, St John's Catholic Church, Rumuokwurusi, Port Harcourt, heard of the demise of Lady Mosun Odigie. She was a very active, dedicated and one time Treasurer of the Association. She had a larger than life disposition towards the association and gave all her support during the formative years and after. She will be greatly missed by us.
May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in perfect peace, Amen
Barr(Mrs) Catherine Okoro
For and on behalf of Edo/DeltaAssociation.

My dearest Mrs. Odigie, a virtuous woman indeed! Whao! How very painful it is for me to be addressing you in your absence. O ma se o. I did not get to see you again after all that ariya we had at my birthday party in Tampa, Florida USA. What a joyous time that was, as if we knew that there would be none like it again with you. I will always hold you dear because l really cherish your sisterly love for my sister, Mrs. Sanomi which you also extended to me.  I always enjoyed being in your company with her and laugh a lot at your jokes.  I am already missing all that fun but l know we shall all be together again some day dancing and enjoying in heaven. May God comfort daddy Odigie, Oma and her siblings and all the grand kids. May He grant them the strength and peace to carry on.
Love you and missing you very much. Rest in peace in The Lord my dear sister until we meet again. 

Dear Mummy,
Although I Never Met You Physically,
But I Saw You In My Sweet Sister Oma Attah,
And Kike Apeji,
As They Both Join Our Forever Business About 18 Years Ago.
Thanks For Being A Role Model.
May Your Sweet Soul Rest In Perfect Peace, Amen.

Tribute to Mummy Mosun
Mummy, you have finally gone home to rest. It was painful seeing you so sick but you always expressed your faith in God inspite of your condition. You held onto your faith till the end. I remember the first time we met. You had come up to me in church to give me a letter for CWO and I was shocked when you called me by my name. From then on, we always looked out for each other after mass to gist. To my greatest surprise, I found out later that you were Oma's mum. Since that knowledge, you have related with Gbenga and I as a mother. I will miss your warmth and your smile and the gists. I will miss how you chastise me when I forget to give you information about a CWO event. I will miss that distinctive texture of your voice. We love you mummy but God loves you best. To live in the hearts of those you love is not to die. Sleep on in the bosom of your Creator. Till that great Resurrection morning. Sun re o iya rere.

Tribute to a dear Aunty: Lady MOSUNMADE ARIKE ODIGIE:
From Sir Adebisi & Lady Adeola OLAOYE
To say you will be missed is an understatement. As a prayerful woman. Let's start by quoting from the Bible, "Wisdom 3:1-3:- But the souls of the just are in the hands of God, and no torment shall touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they appear to be dead; their departure is held as a disaster, and their going away from us total destruction; but they are in peace"
Aunty Mosun was a good wife, loving mother and a compassionate person. She was very hardworking, a goal getter and always focused on whatever she was doing. She loved nature and traveling. She was always there for friends and others whenever she was needed. She had a broad shoulder to cry on in times of anguish, fear and disappointments. Her actions in life have touched so many lives positively. She will be greatly missed. We pray that God will console your dear Husband (both of you were very close), your Children/Grand Children and whole family.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May the gentle soul of our dear Aunty Mosun rest in perfect peace. Amen
