Missing you dear sister!!! Continue to rest in peace!

Continue to rest in peace my dear sister! Life is a mystery, this journey is not for the swift and the strong, but by the grace of God.
We love you and miss you.
RIP.

Our darling Nora. Forever in our hearts.

My sweet aunty... it's still painful. I still miss you so much! But that says a lot about the kind of person you are. I am happy I knew you in a world where pictures exist because I look at yours when I miss you and it makes me smile. You smiled a lot... I miss seeing that, and the hugs, and hearing you say "dearie" :)
Thank you for all the time you spent with me... it still counts

Continue to rest in peace, Norah.
Much loved and greatly missed.

Time flies when we're not watching. I cannot believe it's been three years already. There are many moments where I miss you because I typically called Aunty Noraaaah on the weekends. The I-phone photo album algorithm decided to show me pictures of everyone I loved in Red on Valentine's day this year and sure enough, you popped up. “When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.” Grateful for all the pictures and memories I have of you. They keep me smiling. <3

I miss your laughter.

Happy heavenly birthday Aunty Nora. It’s 2023!! May your soul continue to rest in Peace. ♥️ Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

A smile from me because i always feel the warmth of your smile

My darling sister, I miss you greatly! Please continue to Rest In Peace.

I cannot believe it’s been two years. Continue to dance with the angels.

Rest on dear Norah with the Saints Triumphant.

Four more minutes left of today 01/01/22, Just thought to leave a message for you. Happy Birthday Aunty Nora. You are loved. I recently found an app that can make your eyes in a picture move. It’s the craziest thing but it felt like you were here one more time. Will it get easier to think of you without crying? I do not know. Happy Birthday!!!

Happy birthday Aunty Norah. I have been thinking about you intensely for a few days now , not knowing it's my instinct telling me its your birthday. I miss you so much .
You are always there for me even now and forever. You have always been an angel.

It’s the first year without you on your birthday and as I write this tears roll down my cheeks. My brain said the next step after bringing in the new year is wish Aunty Norah a Happy birthday!!!!
I hope heaven is even more beautiful than I’ve ever imagined and that you’re having a big birthday party with the Saints.
I love you forever and I hope it gets easier.
Happy birthday Aunty.
Xoxo Your Sisi Eko.

If I want to talk with you, would you hear me? Last week, they removed you from a group. I feel short changed. I remind myself that I recall all our conversations, analysis. All. Yet I feel shortchanged. You should have been here with us longer.

My dear sister, it was with great shock and douth l received the news. I write with a lot of reservation because l am still not too sure if it true. It's just like yesterday when we were together in Ekpoma for a burial. I will never forget the time we spent together. The warmth, laughter and joy we shared through out our stay in Ekpoma and our journey to Benin before we parted for Lagos. Life is indeed very short.  In everything, we give thanks to God for your life. Rest in peace my beloved sister till we meet to part no more.

May her gentle soul rest in peace. May God grant the family the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable lost.

Dear Aunty Norah,

I got in touch with you through your sister Edna when i wanted to start my school and needed some assistance. Though we never met but only spoke on phone, you gave me the contact of everyone you dealt with. You gave me tips and information without the slightest hesitation. Even when my husband went over to Lagos and met with you, he was so awed by the warmth you exuded. He kept talking about how open and how sincere you were.
I had to hold myself from calling or sending you WhatsApp messages so often because i didn't want to be a bother.
I even sent you a beautiful message on Mother's day and told myself i needed to call you later to say hello. I didn't know that you have gone to be with the Lord.

My heart is so so heavy but am certain of this one thing, that you are resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. You were such a good soul and i thank God for all the lives you affected.

I met you my dearest Nora, a while ago.Even though much older than you. I savoured your intelligence.loved the diction when you open your mouth. I thought it was forever then time stopped. Like a candle in the wind,a gentle breeze took you out. Your beautiful soul is now eternally beautiful. No more tears just beautiful memories. An Amazon just went to sleep. Rest on my darling. Rest on.

Adieu Aunty Niorah.

Dear Aunty Norah, your death came as a rude shock. I met you through my friend and colleague, Edna, your younger sister.

I still remember the first time I met you, you were so full of warmth and love. I took to you immediately. I literally 'fell in love with you'.

I would always ask Edna after you. She would gently tease me not to snatch her sister from her. Lol. Oh how I loved you.

It is sad to say goodbye but as a Christian, I believe in the resurrection. So rest on Aunty Norah until the resurrection day.

You're with the angels now. That I'm sure of. Love you aunty Norah.


Adieu.............

Dear Madam Norah, it is my misfortune that I did not get to know you or meet you!
But am completely convinced that you were a pure “gem”, going by the wonderful testimonies from everyone.
You have left a legacy never to be tarnished and a family that God will take care of in your bodily absence!
Take your deserved rest and May God watch over all that you have left behind and keep us all Strong.

We missed you greatly, rest in peace.

I am speechless, she was my mom . Till we met again . You are with the lord . Omolola Eddo

My dearest, dearest, dearest friend Norah Idornigie.

I’m writing this with a very heavy heart and with tears dripping down my face. You’re gone!!!, so hard to believe. So many years of a great and true friendship – we shared so many moments, happy, not so happy and life’s issues in general. We turned to each other when things got tough. We had no secrets, never lied to each other, always brutally honest and full of respect for each other. Parkwood School, we ran together in one accord until I retired last year.
A loyal friend and a great listener. I always admired her ability to stay calm in difficult situations whereas I would go from zero to 360 degrees in minutes and she’d say, Kemi, you’re a drama queen, calm down.
Remembering some of the happy moments: Norah, how far, what are we doing this weekend?; Kemi, send someone to the fence, the groundnut soup is ready; How many wraps of moin-moin do you want, let me add your own to the pot; I’m going to Mile 12, what do you need?; What are you wearing today oo, we can’t be doing aso ebi to school every Friday ore. Last year, we decided we were going to learn how to swim so we could have things to do together in old age. I lasted only one lesson whilst Norah managed 3 or so I think. So many plans, all of them with both of us in the picture……my heart bleeds.
We walked the cancer journey together, it was rough but we prayed and hoped. You were strong in faith and held on through it all. It’s tough to say this but “In all things, we give thanks”. Thank God for the extra time He allowed you to spend with us, Thank God for all the special moments we shared and Thank God because He will wipe away our tears and comfort us.
I’ll miss your smile
I’ll miss your sincerity
I’ll miss your unique voice when we jist
I’ll miss your love

Farewell my friend, my girls second Mummy.....Fly with the angels Norah.
