Happy belated birthday my darling Kiki. You are terribly missed.rest

Happy birthday dearest Nkechi as you have a grand celebration with God, our Mother Mary and the host of Angels.

Dearest Kechy,

Another 10th of June has gone by and it was just eerie silence. No phone calls, no yabis, no plans of food-filled visits where you would do the cooking and I would do the gobbling! Thank you for the gift of friendship. May Oga Iyke, Somto, and the family be comforted by the legacy you left- a full life, an overdose of love and loving, and a selfless, giving heart. You, my friend, are irreplaceable.

It's your day today... memories of you still fresh like tomorrow. Happy birthday dear Kechy

Nkem, another June 10th is here already, how time flies! Its so hard doing a posthumous message for you my dear sister and friend. Rest on in the bosom of your maker. Adieu friend!!!

By God's providence, our unexpected departure became the occasion to meet your beloved husband, daughter, family members and our long separated FGC Enugu classmates and alumni. How much one has been enriched by these encounters...

We continue to pray for your eternal repose and God's guidance and protection for your loved ones. Rest in peace.

Nkechi, we remember you today. We trust you are resting in the bosom of the Lord. Your memory lives on. Continue to rest in peace. Amen.

Kechy!,
.. to which you would have answered Ify Love , then we would have laughed at nothing in particular. Just the joy of each others presence and the shared knowledge of each other’s victories.
Happy birthday my Beloved.. surely your laughter is ringing on the streets of Heaven. I can’t listen to Flavour without thinking of you. May your soul continue to rest.
We love you . ❤️

Dearest Kechy,
it would have been all fun, joy and laughter on a day like this when you mark your birthday. But while you are no longer here with us , we still remember and share the day with you in prayer knowing that you have gone to a better place.
Continue to rest my sweet sister till we meet to part no more. #Nwanyiobioma#

My deepest condolences to Nkechi’s family and a happy posthumous birthday to Nkechi . May the good Lord keep consoling everyone affected by Nkechi’s passing
Only learnt of her passing today from a fellow FGCE alumni’s post.

Senior Nkechi...
My Dearest Beloved School Mother.

Your Memory is Precious to all you left behind.

A remarkable woman.
Gem.

Time and space was my enemy.

I miss you Dear Snr Nkechi.

I've met great and gentlemanly Oga Ik.
'Shared grief with your lovely Sister and Brother.
I've held your Beautiful Daughter.
She is lovely like you Snr Nkechi.

I still miss you.

Thank you for mentoring me in my first decade.
You were divinely chosen to be my first ever School Mother.

Continue to Rest in Perfect Peace in Our Lords Bosom. ♥️

My Dear Kweksy,

I celebrate you today as always.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

I'm confident that you are guiding my every step.

I'll always love you.

Your 'Honey'

Kechi baby,

They say time heals all wounds, I am waiting to see the truth of the statement.
You were a gem, beloved and precious. I know you are in a better place but will give anything to be able to tell you how much your friendship, nay, sisterhood meant to me.

To the family......it is well. She taught us how to love, we will continue to honour her memory!

Rest in peace, Nkechi. The Book of Wisdom speaks eloquently in your case thus, “But the righteous, though they die early, will be at rest. For old age is not honored for length of time, or measured by number of years; but understanding is gray hair for anyone, and a blameless life is ripe old age. There were some who pleased God and were loved by him, and while living among sinners were taken up. They were caught up so that evil might not change their understanding or guile deceive their souls. For the fascination of wickedness obscures what is good, and roving desire perverts the innocent mind. Being perfected in a short time, they fulfilled long years; for their souls were pleasing to the Lord, therefore he took them quickly from the midst of wickedness. Yet the peoples saw and did not understand, or take such a thing to heart, that God's grace and mercy are with his elect, and that he watches over his holy ones (Wisdom 4:7-14).”

It's really hard to put anything down. I just miss you. You left us too soon and we are still battling to realize that.

Kiki nwannem,
Always in my heart,always in my thoughts. Memories of you are entrenched in my heart forever. I love you. I miss you my friend and sister. Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Nnem oma Kechy, my sweet loving sister, 3yrs ago you went to sleep in the bosom of the lord. But we still remember.. though the tears continue to roll down our eyes, we are consoled knowing you are in a better place. Rest in peace my sweet sister.

Unforgettable Kechy. Rest on Darling Girl

It is still very painful! I found myself shedding tears at work today. Your memories live forever in our hearts. May God continue to guide and protect you for us. May mother Mary’s love never depart from you. I love you and will continue to love you forever. Keep resting in the Lord Kechy my darling sister.

Nkechi, Chairman of the njakiri club, being an adult is hard. So often I replay everything and wonder; could you have lived......
A happy sister, hard working girl. Too many unanswered questions???? Sorry due to Road construction, now COVID, haven’t seen our Somto, only photo. Nwannem She looks great. IK digi is doing a great job.
Nkechi, we miss you, but God had a better plan. As we all trust God, with tears, we are comforted. Continue to rest in perfect peace, Laughter general. ❤️

Kweksy Nwanyiobioma,

Today is exactly 3 years gone, when on a Saturday morning you left Somtochukwu and I regardless of my plea, entreaties, appeal that you should tarry. I've struggled to be stable ever since till this moment. My emotions run riot, tears drop from eyes uncontrollably every now and then, can't stop wondering why it had to be so. Yet it is what it is... We have totally submitted and are entirely grateful to GOD.

Somtochukwu's expectation is that you'll soon return from your trip!

Continue to rest with GOD in Heaven and look after us from GOD's kingdom.

We love you so dearly.

Your 'Honey'

Nkem my sister and my friend, even now I don't know what to say cos the tears won't stop. Rest on darlyn & continue to pray for us all, especially our beautiful Princess and her Daddy. Lord Jesus, please keep my beloved friend close and Mother Mary, please continue to pour the fragrance of your sweet prayers upon her beautiful soul ❤ . Gone too soon darlyn sister.

Still cannot forget you. Missing you NK. Your laughter can never be forgotten. Keep resting darling friend. You are forever missed.

Marie

Kechy....Kechy,...please come back. It’s unlike you not to answer. I’ve waited too long. I’ve waited too long . I wish I knew. I wish I was smarter.

My darling Sis, Na wah. Keep enjoying Heaven. Nkechi you left us too soon. Your daughter is blooming so beautifully: though Covid is impeding visit. Love you. Miss your humor. ❤️❤️

Kiki Nwannem,
Hmm. No day passes without thoughts of you and praying for Iyke your husband. To say that you left too soon is an understatement. I miss you terribly. I am having goosebumps as I think of you right now. Who are we to question God. All I know is that life is not fair. I thank God for the gift of your friendship. I feel so privileged to have known you and blessed that our paths collided. God is still faithful. He is still God through challenging and good times. May your beautiful soul continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I love you too much

Kweksy,

Truly missing you. Tears on my eyes, but it is what it is.

Be joyful with GOD in Heaven.

Kechy, every 10th of June brings painful memories of your departure.  It is hard to believe such a lovely, bubbly, generous soul as yourself will never again grace us with your smile. I know that you are resting in the bosom of our saviour. Thank you for showing us what true love is. You are sorely missed.

It's your third posthumous birthday Nke, keep resting in the bossom of our maker, you are sorely missed. 

Dear Kweksy,

Today, as and always, Somtochukwu and I miss you! We discuss you and wish you'll return soon from your trip to Heaven.

Happy Birthday Mummy Mummy!
Happy Birthday Nwanyiobioma!!
Happy Birthday Kweksy!!!

May you continue to enjoy absolute peace and joy in GOD's Presence.

We'll continue to celebrate you.

Sommie + Ik

May your soul continue to rest in peace Nnemukwu , we miss you so much but God loves you more.
May the good Lord grant you eternal rest.

Sister Kweksy....nwanyi obioma...you are forever in our hearts.We love you but God loves you more...May he console your dear husband all your loved ones left behind...adieu...rest on

That day was the first time I would ever see daddy cry. He wept uncontrollably even as numerous folks gathered around in our sitting room. Despite Mummy's health, he threw himself at her weeping as he disclosed the saddest news of a lifetime to her. Mummy was confused more as what could break Nduweze, as she fondly called him, down. However, the news became clear and the entire atmosphere became very sorrowful.

You lived a life of love and compassion. You made life appear very simple. Many times I find myself talking to you however, wishing that you are around to respond, joke and laugh at various mind bugging issues just as we used to. And I ask again, who will hail me and cheer me up even when I'm most depressed, who can the shoe fit?

We will live on for your sake, because we love you. Your memories keep us stronger. Mummy and Daddy are forever greatful to God for blessing them and the entire family with a daughter like you.

Our grand father made no mistake at your birth, in a most symbolic occasion, when he pronounced that you came from God to Daddy and Mummy, thus your beautiful name Nkechiyerem.

And it pleased God to have you back, to be with him, to radiate heaven with joy, love and happiness.

We love and miss you and continue to miss you, but with total submission to the will of God the almighty father.

Nkechi nwanyi oma, my neighbour turned sister, It took me two years to write a tribute for you cos your death gave me a real shock, the event of that dark saturday morning is still so clear in my memory, seeing you breath your last, I have not been able to get over it. I miss you so much, within a short time of knowing you, it was so glaring that you had a heart of gold. My heart breaks a thousand pieces anytime I see your husband, honey like you always call him or your little angel Somtochukwu, cos I know the void your death created in their lives cannot easily be filled, even the thought of what your parents and family have also had to bear since your demise.
I have so many good memories of you to treasure a lifetime.
I had just made two dresses for you, you never even got to wear one of them. You called me in the office some days before you went to be with lord that your were making ofe akwu (Banga soup) . I had to stop by on my way back from work late that night to pick my own share of it and it was still in my freezer when you passed, guess what Nke , I still ate it but didn't get a chance to compliment your cooking. It's still a struggle for me to go over to your house knowing that I wont see you there.
You were truly an epitome of kindness, the day we moved in, you called me late in the afternoon to tell me not to bother to cook because you had made lunch for everyone, your thoughtfulness really touched me and I knew I had found a sister, and even when it was getting late and you knew that we were still busy you sent the food with a bottle of wine. You were indeed a sweet soul, an angel .
It hurts so bad but I know that you are resting in His bossom. 

We all miss you dearly but I find solace in knowing that you are in a better place, where there is no sickness or pain. We love you so much but God loves you more and we will not sorrow like them that have no hope. You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race , you have kept faith. 2 Timothy 4:7
Sleep on angel, sleep on eze nwanyi be Opara( as my husband fondly called you) sleep on Nkechi nwanne m.

NK luv, 2years just like yesterday. Can I ever find a friend that will fill this vacuum you created in my life. A sister I never had, caring, loving and ever supportive. May the joy of eternal life be your portion as you continue to rest in perfect peace, amen

Adieu!

Nkem, Kechi, Nk Baby, my darlyn sister and friend like no other. Its been exactly two years that you went home to be with your Maker, two years without your sunny smile and infectious laughter! Two years without anyone to call and sing me our signature tune "Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Omo Ali", still missing you dear sister. Sometimes I wonder how Darlyn Moi and Our Princess are able to carry on, but then I console myself with the believe that "The Lord must actually be their strength". Rest on sweet soul, rest in the bosom of your Maker, wrapped in the prayers of the saints and your Mother Mary whom you revered so much. Adieu once again dear sister and friend. Love evergreen .

Kechy, Kechy,

Ihe’m na ekwu no’mu na Obi. Ono na obim. Jide Chaplet gi. Jide shieya ike. Anyanmiri apubegi’m na anya.

Kechy, may the host of heavenly angels surround you, dearest beautiful sister ......in Jesus name....Amen!

YOU LEFT US A GOOD MEMORY

The hour of death cannot be forecast, and when we say this, we imagine this hour would be in a long distant future. We never thought we would be thinking about Nkechi, as a memory.

The void created by the sudden death of someone as beloved as Nkechi is extremely hard to grasp. Words cannot describe how much she is missed. Certainly, Nkechi had so much left to teach, so much to give and so much to share with my brother, Ik and their lovely daughter, Somto.

Her courage, determination and sense of humour are qualities we would always cherish, and when we look for Nkechi, we can look to the stars at night, and into the eyes and hearts of all those she left behind and find a little piece of her. She will live on forever.

Adieu International Madam!!

Kechy Baby!!! You are missed now more than ever. I miss our chats of over 30 years of sisterhood. You always put things in perspective... No one to do that now. The pain may never go away, but my hope is that one day, we shall meet to part no more. Rest on Darling Girl.

.....still like a bad dream. We miss you so dearly, our beloved, KWEKSY.

Dearest Friend and sister.

Its two years and it still hurts. I still stare at your Facebook page. On my WhatsApp. Your eyes were so bright and beautiful.

Rest on sweet sis. Rest on in peace.

God continue to comfort us all.

Forever missed

Marie

Kweksy nwanyiobioma,

Dear KWEKSY,
Your birthday is usually an exciting day for us. But today, it's different because you're not here physically. It's your 2nd birthday with GOD. I'll continue to CELEBRATE you regardless.
Somtochukwu and I will always Love you.
Continue to rest in the bossom of GOD.
I am confident that you're watching over us from Heaven.
I'll always remain,
Your 'Honey'

Kiki, you are still unforgettable. That's who you are. You are terribly missed. Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and may the Holy Spirit continue to comfort us and your family in the mighty name of Jesus. Love you loads

KWEKSY
The Scripture says that, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from GOD.” - Proverbs 18:22. This indeed is my testimony.
KWEKSY, I found you, you became my wife and GOD favoured us greatly.
In all the experiences we shared whilst you were in this world, we stayed FAITHFUL to each other and to GOD. Our love for each other defied all permutations, formulas and/or equations and was renewed, strengthened and reinvigorated each day that passed.
You make the earth move. You totally rock my world. You were and still an Angel.
Even in my present trauma, I cannot but THANK GOD for the privilege to have had you as my wife and Somtochukwu’s mummy, mummy.
KWEKSY, now that you’ve passed on to GOD’s Glory, am not sure how you intend Somtochukwu and I to carry on here in this world! We always depended on you. So we are waiting to hear from you on the way forward. Please talk to me!!   
My crying and wailing seem unending. Sorrowing for the agony your sudden demise has exposed Somtochukwu and I to, in one breath, and on the other, tears of joy based on my firm belief, faith and conviction that you have transitioned to a higher and eternal glory in the kingdom of GOD; as we recourse to the Scripture which says; “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” – Philippians 1:21. Clearly, Heaven’s gain is our loss!!!  
GOD, who gave you to us have called you to HIS Glory. I do not have the locus at all to ask GOD why but have submitted totally to HIS Will. Thus, Somtochukwu and I sing;
“When peace, like a river attendeth our way, when sorrows, like seabillows roll, whatever our Lot, Thou has taught us to say:
It is well, it is well, with our souls, it is well, it is well with our souls, with our souls, it is well, it is well, with our souls.”
And it is well, it is well, with Kweksy’s soul, with your soul, it is well, it is well with your soul.”
KWEKSY, I love you, I’ll always Love you.
Somtochukwu loves you as she continues to echo Mummy, Mummy!
KWEKSY, NNWANYIOBIOMA, may GOD in HIS infinite mercy and faithfulness grant you peaceful rest in HIS Kingdom, Amen.
Patrick Ikechukwu Oparah, your husband and Somtochukwu Daniella Oparah, your daughter

Nkechi, you have played out your God given role and have gone back to our Heavenly Father. We will continue to remember you in our thoughts and memories. Good bye, good night.

My dearest Kiki, words can't express the deep sense of loss, pain and sadness that I feel at your passing. It's simply too much to bear, very suffocating indeed. I have tried to make sense if it but to no avail. I am only left with memories, fond memories of our days in Lagos, at the blessed sacrament and mother Mary's grotto at our lady of Fatima Aguda, our gistings about so many things. Hmm Kiki, you are simply unforgettable. I spoke with you last in October 2017, when we reminisced about God's faithfulness in your life. We also chatted on Facebook towards the end of March 2018. Who would have thought that would be my last conversation with you. You are God's property, just as your name states. Who am I to question God. He says that in all things that we should give thanks to him. I thank God for the privilege and honor of having met you. I thank him for our friendship.I thank him for the wonderful memories we shared, and mostly for the love that you had for him and those that came in contact with you You are terribly missed Kiki. Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ and May the Holy spirit continue to comfort your husband, parents, siblings, and us your friend's, in the mighty name of Jesus
