Tributes

It is such a difficult task for me - writing a tribute in your honour I mean. I wake up and as usual, plan to visit you in the hospital. I am jolted by the reality that you are no more here, but with our Heavenly Father. You told me on one visit at the hospital, ''Desola, I'm trusting God I'll be home before the end of April''. In a quick response, I said, ''Amen'', rubbing my hands together in agreement with that prayer or 'prophecy'. Did you mean Omole? I thought you did dear sister. With hindsight, you probably meant that better place we all pray to be when it's all over. You were a 'big sister' who was so dear to me. I'm grateful to God for the opportunity I had to have prayed, laughed and 'gisted' with you every week in the last few months. Your kind and generous heart will be sorely missed, not to mention those tasty meals - you were such a good cook! God will surely stand by your darling best friend hubby, kids and grandkids- you can bet on that. Rest on beloved sister!!!

It is a great vacuum you have left in our heart mummy and your experience in our memories will never be forgotten in a hurry. Our consolation lies in the fact that you lived a very fulfilled life and have positively imparted the life of us that God gave you opportunity to meet.

We will really miss you. Until we meet to part no more, rest in the Bossom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mummy, it was hard to take in when i heard the news of your exit. I could not but asked questions only God could give me answers to. You left a remarkable mark on your generation, my generation and the generations upcoming. Your life was an epitome of the Agape Love we were taught. You taught all the meaning of true service and servanthood. The church of God will you, I will miss you, my family will miss you, your generation will miss you, my generation will miss you and generations upcoming will sure miss you. I take solace in the fact that we will surely meet again someday. Rest on mummy.

     TRIBUTE TO MY DEAR SISTER-IN-LAW
“COCK CROW AT DAWN“. With deep sorrow and tears in my eyes, I write this to my sister-in-law and a best friend.
Our late mother called you “Nwanne diya” meaning your husband’s sister while I called you “My Bis”.
My Bis, the news of your demise came to me as a shock, I couldn’t believe what I heard but it was true.
Oh my Bis, why so soon? You got married to my brother not only as a husband but as a SOULMATE, which everyone of us admired. Your husband told us that you are a God sent to the family and that was exactly what you were.
You so much loved the family you got married into that you carried everyone along. What a generous woman.
My Bis, you really showed me love despite the distance (Ph to Lagos).
I remember in 1981 when I almost lost my life after having a still birth, you both came home and took me to Lagos for proper medical checkup.
In 1984 too, when I finally had my son after 3 years of waiting, when you came home for Christmas, both of you drove to Port-Harcourt and carried us home to Akirika. What a caring family. (I say no more).
You were always there for I and my children.
The women in Egejuru’s compound will forever miss you because of your endless generosity.
You worked relentlessly in the house of God. You never missed your church activities and always made sure that people around you walk in the ways of the Almighty God.
You were indeed caring, humble, generous, respectful, honest and always stood by the truth.
I spoke with you last in October during the End Sars Lekki Toll Gate Protest. When I called again in November, both your lines were switched off but I spoke with your husband and he told me you were on admission. Now My Bis you are no more.
Oh! death, where is thy sting? Oh! grave, where is thy victory? You have fought a good fight, you have finished your course and you have kept thy faith.
My Bis, who am I to question God? Your illness was beyond what money couldn’t heal but all the same my sister-in-law and best friend LA NUDO, GA IJEGI NKEOMA.
May your gentle soul rest peacefully in the bosom of the almighty God, till that resurrection morning when we will meet to part no more.
Adieu Nwanne Diya
Adieu My Bis
Adieu Bis Bis

Your Sister-in-law, Lolo Victoria T. Owunwanne

Dearest Aunty Bisi, I’m normally not tongue tied when it comes to tributes but I seem to be struggling with this one! You are and always will be loved by me! I take comfort in the fact that you’re truly at rest and dancing with our Heavenly Father in heaven. I remember quite clearly seeing your smiling face winking at me after I was told of your passing and I was able to draw much needed comfort and peace knowing that you’re very happy where you are right now. 
I remember your support through some dark days I had and never slow to chastise also when I had goofed! During family gatherings it was always a treat to have you around...... you said it as it is, making us( well me) laugh.
I will miss you thoroughly Aunty Bisi! Aunty Bisbis! E sun re o
Love always
Yetibee❤️

Sister Bisi, I'm just getting to accept the reality of your passing. I got the link to this website as soon as it was created but just couldn't pull myself together to write any tribute because I've been in tears. You were such a wonderful, loving, selfless and caring friend; a passionate encourager! Your love for God and the brethren was infectious.

You taught me how to sew free of charge. In late 2018, we were together at a burial ceremony and you asked me if what I was wearing was made by me. As I'm typing this, I can still see that signature bright smile of approval on your face, as you gave me thumbs up for a nice job.
Sis Bisi, yours was a beautiful and purposeful life and I thank God that our paths crossed. I am not grieving like the unbelievers do because I trust God that you are resting in His bosom.

My prayer is that the Almighty God will continue to uphold your husband, children and grandchildren. Affliction shall not rise again in Jesus name.

Till resurrection morning, good night.

I look up to a woman whose life’s work epitomises the purpose driven life -one marked with self sacrifice and distinguished by benevolence that radiated the love of Christ to all who had the privilege of being called beneficiaries of it.

Sis Bisi’s standard of faithful execution of one’s spiritual calling established an unbreakable legacy of Industrious and Christian service for all of those who come after.

I first met Sis Bisi in 1988 when my husband and I moved to Blue Cross hospital, Ogba as resident doctor and dentist.

Sis Bisi was a woman with a heart of gold, a loving and God-fearing woman who loved and cared for not only her own family but extended support to many.Thank you so much for the love and care shown to me and my family when it mattered most.

Good souls don’t die they live on in the hearts of those whose paths they have crossed.

Sis Bisi was always there for everybody and was a strong pillar of support when necessary. My whole family and siblings recount the many evidence of her loyalty and affection for us through her presence at several family occasions. We will miss her greatly but your example of the selfless lifestyle will never be lost.

Sleep on in the bosom of your saviour, may your soul rest in peace.

Looking back, I can now say I am so glad for the privilege to have served as Treasurer under Bisi's tenure as President, Lagos Chapter of Queen's School Old Girls Association (QSOGA). She was such an inspiring leader and she drew all of us, members of the Executive Committee, close. We worked together, prayed together, laughed together, enjoying her impeccable hospitality each time she hosted meetings in her home. Bisi pushed us to the limit to give of our best because that is exactly what she did, taking her assignment always like a personal project.

On one occasion, I recollect her calling me a day before to say she wanted to go to Ibadan to inspect a project in the school and could I go with her. The notice was extremely short and I was unprepared, but with Bisi, it was difficult to say 'No' because her passion for the work rubbed off on you. We subsequently named her "Pressy Emeritus" because she had to step down before the end of her second tenure for personal reasons.

I will always cherish memories of all the fun and laughter we had while serving in the committee. She is leaving a good legacy of passion for hard work in order to achieve set goals. 

A lovely soul has returned to her Maker. May her husband, children, family, loved ones and friends receive the greatest comfort from God and keep the lovely memories of her time here in their hearts.

Bisi,
My dear sister,
l thank God for your life and your name will forever be household words in our family.

Bisi, since l met you when I married into the Phillips family, you have always been full of life, jovial, always armed with a warm smile that disarmed me. You fondly called me "Kabiyesi" and was always armed with an abundance of jokes in the true sense of humour of the Phillips.

Your demise was very sad but death is the finality; it is an inevitable end for us all. We however faithfully believe that you are gone on to a better and more restful life.

l commiserate with the immediate families for this great & irreplaceable loss.

Let us all grieve in joy whilst being grateful to the Almighty for the good deeds and the good times we all shared together and for the sweet memories, which will live for ever in our hearts.

Sleep Well in Paradise.

Aunty Bisi, the last time we saw, I told you I would not be able to make our usual Thursday visit because I was taking my children back to school. I asked if you needed anything and you said you’d let me know. We were meant to see after I retuned from my trip but that was not meant to be. God who gives also takes, who are we to question Him?!
I thank God for the opportunity to have had you as my Aunty, I have never not had you in my life. Too many memories, too many to document, you will forever be in my heart.
You were a true Christian soldier through and through, you never suffered fools gladly. You were determined, resolute in your worship of God. You taught your children to love God too. I remember a conversation we had where we were discussing jewellery: when is too much, too much? You responded in the course of our conversation that “I don’t know how people cannot like wearing gold jewellery, how will they cope in the kingdom of God where the Bible says that the streets of heaven will be paved with gold....”. That was you. Practical (in my own eyes).
I remember you bought me my first “bra”, you made my bridesmaids dresses as well as half of the family’s outfits for my wedding, you made almost all my beautiful clothes for events as I could/would not trust anyone else to make them. Who will make my “wow” outfits now?!
I will miss you a GREAT deal. Uncle James, Chijioke, Ada, Eyinnaya, Ladunni and their spouses will miss you oooooh!!!! The grandchildren nko? Hmmmmm! It will be well.
You have gone to be with the Lover of your soul. Rest well Aunty Bisi.
Heaven has gained an Angel.
Rest in the bosom of the Lord till we meet at Jesus Christ’s feet. Amen.

My darling Bisi (alias Iiyawo Ibo).,it seems wrong to refer to you in the past tense! You were full of life, humor,vigour and beauty in all your ways. You were thorough, diligent and creative. You were respectful and sooo humble and dutiful mother and wife..,You radiated love and kindness. You left a permanent impression of love and gratitude with anybody who came in contact with you and will be sorely missed.Rest in perfect peace with your God whom you served diligently. Good bye

How do I say ‘goodbye’ to my dear ‘Aunty’! To a relationship that started possibly more than 20years ago! A visit to Aunty for a dress fitting was never just that. It was always an opportunity to share my burdens and an opportunity to listen. I could never be in a hurry because we somehow crossed the chasm of the difference in age and became ‘friends’.
I will miss our engaging sessions. I am yet to find another person who knew how to style my figure like Aunty did! Never failed! Through my many changes she was always consistent.
Her love for her family was admirable and encouraging!
My heart breaks to think that I will not see her again but I am comforted because I know she ran a good race!
Rest In Peace! Dr. Olabisi Egejuru! I sorely miss you

Mummy Egejuru, I met you in 1998, when I joined the Foursquare Gospel Church, Elects Chapel, GRA, Ikeja. A beautiful woman in and out. You took particular interest in me, and couldn't hide your excitement when I got admitted to the University of Benin to study Law. Infact, you bought me my mattress. How can I forget? When I came to church upon graduation, you showed how proud you were of me, announcing my grade to anyone who cared to listen. Ahh! I can't stop the tears even as type this tribute, but that soldier's daughter you believed in so much says rest in peace Mummy Egejuru.

I remember how active you were while my family attended Foursquare GRA. You were a deaconess and member of the choir back then. You actively served the Lord. Our consolation is that you are now in a better place. May God grant the family and loved ones you left behind the fortitude to bear this painful loss. We love you ma.

This is unbelievable and hasn't sunk in yet.
Amazing, inspiring, bubbly, beautiful, brilliant, kind, God's child and a lover of God is what you were.
Tons of fond memories of you Ma.
You will be forever missed.
I commiserate with the Egejurus on behalf of myself and my siblings, and pray that the Almighty God will grant them the fortitude to bear this great loss.

A Tribute To My Egbon - Dr Olabisi Folamole Egejuru neè Phillips.

Despite the prayers and petitions to God, He recalled His angel home to Heaven! We cannot question God but must accept His sovereign will; afterall, He is our Creator and He Knows Best.

My dear Egbon, Cousin, Sister, Friend and Confidant has gone to rest and is free at last from ALL pains and wahala of planet earth. She valiantly fought and won many health battles over the past four years or so. The last battle of the recent 5 months, was the grand finale..... Hallelujah that she won this final battle with pain and has crossed over to heaven to be with her Lord and saviour forever in eternity.

We are very sad on earth and mourn her loss because we will miss her but Heaven is rejoicing because it has gained an angel. I will greatly miss her sha ooh.

I was her "Biimmm" as she fondly always called me.

We are first cousins because Bisi's dad was my father's immediate junior brother. In the family, it was a well known fact that we were very close (ten and six...). It was like she was my immediate senior sister. Bisi and I were the last borns in our families and since we both had boys born immediately before us (I had 3 boys and she had one), we just adopted each other as big and little sisters from as far back as we could both remember.

She went to Queen's School Ede/Ibadan (QSI) and I followed a year after. She went to Federal School of Science Omikan, Lagos, and I followed a year after. While there, she moved to YWCA hostel Onikan and I immediately followed..... She went to College of Medicine Uni-Lagos to study medicine and I went to School of Pharmacy Uni-Ife because there was no School of Pharmacy in College of Medicine in 1974. Even then, many of her female classmates at college of medicine knew me, because I was always visiting her there at her hostel.

At QSI, I had more friends among her classmates when we were at school than I did with mine. Bisi loved her Alma mater - QSI, and devoted her time, energy, emotions and finances to numerous events, projects, etc concerning the school. She was the President of her class for many years, President of the Lagos Chapter of the Queen's School Old Girls Association (QSOGA) and served on numerous committees. She was my inspiration for the active roles I have played in QSOGA National and Lagos Chapter affairs and my encourager for my maintaining my set's presidency over these many years.

Bisi was reknown for her gift as an excellent "Sewing Mistress" or "Fashion Designer" as said in Nigeria. Despite the fact that she was a medical doctor, she made fantastic outfits and we, her clients from "Bis Bis" - as her label was called, will greatly miss her! I guess I will resort to mostly plain iro and bubba henceforth.

I will definitely miss the visits and gisting at her shop, which was a rallying point for many of us. I will miss her saying "Biimmmm pay whatever you want to pay".

Bisi, I will really miss you my darling, loving egbon oooh!!!! Will miss your great jokes and hearty laughter that came from the heart... Will miss your physical and internal beauty and elegance... Will miss scolding you for your soft heart and over generosity, which made people take advantage of you...
Who will I get the latest gist from? Who do I get spiritual, social, moral, medical, etc advice from? Who will I attend QSOGA and family functions together with? The questions are endless!!!!

God bless and console us all in Jesus mighty name.

God is good in ALL that He does and I know He will comfort your husband, children, grandchildren, siblings and all of us that are already missing you. We shall continue to hold tightly to, and treasure ALL the wonderful memories that we have of you.

Rest In Perfect Peace Bisi, till we meet to part no more.

To my beautiful big sister, spiritual mentor, counsellor and an extraordinary woman of God. Bisi, where do I start? Every event we had in Nigeria you were there to support us. Our weekly calls, the morning tea devotional readings you would send every morning in addition to, the wonderful relationship we developed will be missed and forever cherished.
Not only were you gifted at creating beautiful outfits, you were generous as well as a woman of prayer that encouraged me to pray. You had such a big heart. We could never come to you with a problem without you seeking a solution and your door was always open to everyone.
We will all miss you so much, we believed for your healing but I know you did not want to suffer. So I can't blame God for wanting you close to Him.
Goodbye my big sister, until we meet again.

My darling Aunt that I have known all my life, my birthday mate. So blessed to have been born the same day as you. You loved both young and old. You could relate to everyone. Very young at heart. You love to gist and also give words of encouragement. You had that listening ear.
So many fond memories of you. When I was young, you would come round to our house and take us out for lunch. I remember going to Federal Palace hotel a lot with you. Whenever mum traveled, you would come and babysit for her. I also remember living with you in Ikeja. This was convenient at the time because mummy was away for a few months and my school was in Adeniyi Jones. You accommodated me as usual. Your home was always full. I was with Asia and Chioma. We were a happy family.

When mummy had to go for her surgery in Germany, she had no one to go with her, you quickly volunteered yourself and stayed with your sister throughout leaving your work and Uncle James to attend to your sister. Aunty, you were selfless.
I remember your summer holidays with your sisters. You were the baby and your sisters especially Mama Disun would send you every minute and you were quick to tell her that “emi na ti dagba “

We spent quality time together in the last six years. You were there for my girls. You did school runs for me in my absence. My girls called you Grandma Bisi. They loved you so much. Ayomide mentioned that you loved coming to her school because of the grounds and in your words it looked peaceful. I told her that in your heart of hearts you were a white lady.

I remember coming to see you in the hospital after your major surgery and you told me you just went through the valley of the shadow of death. You were encouraged that you could pull through. It was tough you said. I came to see you a couple of times and you came to spend sometime with me as well. That time in January 2020 when you stayed with me meant a lot to me. We bonded. I changed your dressing and we were both excited that the fluid had reduced tremendously. You were meticulous about making your soursop tea and always offered some to me. (I never tried it though) You hoped for the best. You were going to write your testimony. Your mind was very sharp but your body gave up on you.

You were a fantastic seamstress. One would think you trained for it but all this came from my wonderful grandmother of blessed memory. You enjoyed it so much and all you wanted was for us to be happy when we turn up in Bis Bis designs. I remember when we come to Creek hospital to try on our outfits. The joy in your eyes says it all hoping that it would be a perfect fit and you won’t have to take it back to Ikeja for adjustments. You were principled. When you started Bis Bis, you would say you won’t sew certain styles. I told you to relax oh if you want my friends to come and make outfits with you because they would want to reveal some things. You would laugh and say I have heard.

You also saved lives by the virtue of what you went to school for, trained for, as an anesthetist, a doctor. You have left a huge void for us all. I pray that the good Lord will grant Uncle James, Chijioke, Seyi, Ada, Eyinnaya, Oladuni and Osahon the fortitude to bear this great loss. I pray that God will give your sister, Mama Disun, the strength to carry on in life. You loved the Lord and he loved you right back. You have only just changed address my darling Auntie, you have gone into the presence of your maker our Lord. Rest In Peace.

My heart is broken but we do not mourn like those who do not have hope. You have gone to be with the one you love most and served with all of your heart and strength. My life in christ will not be this solid if I had not met people like you in my early years of knowing the Lord. Your door is constantly open to the household of God...you loved everyone you met ,poor, rich ,old and young. Well done on your triumphant exit , at last no more pain or fear, at last you are face to face with the lover of your soul. I am sure you danced when you saw Him lol...sleep well aunty Egejuru. Your lovely husband and children will be fine...they are in God's hand. We will rejoice together when we meet face to face. Adeus from the other side of life still meet to part no more.

Dear Aunty Bisi we were very sad to hear that you had passed, it was our prayer that God would completely heal you but he knows best. I remember many years ago when you took care of my granny in the hospital before she went to be with the Lord and the many times we would spend at your home in GRA as kids. I remember also coming to visit you when you came back from the hospital at Chijoke’s place you never complained or felt sorry for yourself but you were always positive. We thank God for your life and the family you have left behind and we know this is just the beginning of an eternity with Christ. Till we see again. Adewole Olufon Jnr

It was a devastating news to me when your demise was announced. We give thanks to God for not allowing you to suffer for too long. For the period I knew you, you were respectful and courteous to me.

I remember when my grand daughter was getting married in 2014 and Buki asked that you make her daughters outfits for them. I came to your shop to collect the dresses. I took Uber to your place because I sent my driver on another errand. As I was leaving your shop, you asked your staff to take the bags to my car, and I told you that I brought Uber cab, you quickly asked your driver to drop me at home. It showed the extent of respect you had for me. Which I was grateful to you for.

Your vacuum will be so missed amongst your family but, they will take solace in the fact that you have gone to rest in the bosom of the Lord Almighty.

May God grant you eternal rest and make you a dweller in the Paradise and let light perpetual shine upon you. Rest in perfect peace.

Oh mummy! Till date i still can't believe that you're gone, it has been hard for me to accept. You accommodated me and treated me as if you were my biological mother, you were so nice and kind to me, always ready to help, added to your motherly advice. My only consolation is that you're resting in the Bossom of the LORD GOD

I will truly miss my darling namesake aunty who always made me feel like I was extra special. Some of my best memories with aunty Bisi are from my college years in the Chicago area when she visited and taught me how to cook her special party-jollof-rice that I was never able to replicate. Even better memories are from post college when aunty Bisi came with my mom from Nigeria to be with me and care for me when I had surgery...and again, when I had my daughter, each time spending a few weeks at my place giving us special time to bond. And although I feel the time I had with her was not enough, I can only cherish the memories and thank God for blessing me with the time that we did have. I will miss the many stories, laughter, and fabulous fashions by my beautiful smart talented and selfless aunty.

April 18, 2021
Oh Aunty Bisi, your thoughtfulness was one of a kind, you always had the right words that reflected your kind heart. Beautiful inside and out, a true example of a christian.
When you came visiting, Tito randomly said "I love you grandma" i didn't know it was the last, we had dinner and an evening of laughter.
We rejoice in the life you lived, we are comforted by our trust in God, knowing you are with Him now. Death has no sting and grave has no victory.
We miss you Aunty.

Bis- Bis, your pass to glory is still a bitter pill for me to swallow. You were such a delight to be with, always ready to assist. I thought you were going to pull through.. You bore the adversity of life with dignity just as your style reflected class, elegance and splendor. May you have eternal rest in the bossom of the Lord.
Adieu Bisi!

Auntie Bisi, you’ve been in my life since forever.

You taught me so much ... from my first tailored senior school skirt ...repping Bis Bis designs from A-Hall days (you taught me that fitted clothes make all the difference) my childhood would be incomplete without you. You were there when Granny passed- you took such amazing care of her and comforted us when she left.

Your home was one of the handful where I felt safe whether it was because we were always welcome (back in GRA) or we could freely eat without the repercussions of conveniently ignoring my Mom's side-eye (warning us to refuse any offer of food) or because when you later moved to Omole it was one I could easily walk to ( I would argue with my Mum- "it's safe, it's in the estate") or the shop- one of my mum's guaranteed stops in Ikeja- so I would find her there or hitch a ride home (if I had decided to test my Mum's threats to leave me "Your aunty will kuku bring you home")

I remember the last time we saw each other, we were watching the Greenleaf series and talking about everything under the sun. Chijoke brought up 'swallow' he made and it was like old times- your home feeding and nurturing me.

 Oh, the calls and messages...You were fierce about those you love so they never doubted the strength of your love. I definitely don’t have the monopoly on experiences with you. Yet even with a telling off- you did it in love. It was the same way you celebrated my weight loss: I never felt ashamed about being me.

In that last 3 years particularly, you quizzed me 69 ways from sundown about my health saying “Your mummy said I should check on you”; armed me with knowledge and prayer. You never made me feel like a burden.

You didn’t always let me pay you even when I became a “working girl” ever creative with elegant, modest designs- Godliness was timeless not old fashioned with you.

You never complained about being ill; just grateful when I came to visit or sent you a care package when I couldn’t. I am blessed to have known you, glad for every opportunity to celebrate you and connect with you.

You brought my Dad to the Lord and I know even your departure will bring so much more to Christ.

Rest easy, Auntie.

And see you later by His everlasting grace.

Love Yanju

Aunty Bisi,this is a struggle as I'm finding it hard to accept the finality of you not being here anymore. Aunty Bisi, words fail me but am gonna try cos you were my big sis and confidant. When I first met you,you would call me "morenike" but because you showed me so much love it never mattered and then you started calling me "Moronke" and I knew then the love had grown. Whenever you missed my call you would return it immediately even if you were already in bed. You would ask how I was doing and tell me how you were doing too, we would gist for while and look forward to our next chat. The last time you called me, it made my day cos i hadn't seen you in a while as we would always video chat. Oh Aunty Bisi thank you for your prayers, friendship,sisterhood and so much love. May GOD grant us all the strength to accept the will of GOD for you my dearest sweet Aunty Bisi.

Olabisi, a mother hen with golden heart. I can't forget all you did for me and my family, but who are we to question God? He knows best. May your soul rest in perfect peace dear sister and friend. May the Lord be with your darling husband, children, grandchildren and the entire family.

Hmmmm. Words cannot express the pain your exist brought to me.
Our 1st meeting was a memorable one for me, it excited me that you loved the Lord so dearly.
In all of my journey in your family , you gave me great strength, you saw nothing as impossible......
You had ready solutions to every challenge that came my way.... Always giving the best counsel in your profound godly wisdom. To say l will miss you, is an understatement.......
I learnt with death by the help of the Holy Spirit, that God makes the best decision for His beloved and that I can never love you better than He does.....
Till will meet to part no more, you were dearly loved Aunty Bisi...... Rest on....

You taught me everything
Everything you've given me
I'll always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, yeah
There isn't anything
Or anyone that I could be
And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side
You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were gray
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be
What you have been to me you will always be
You will always be the girl
In my life for all times
Mama, Mama you know I love you
(You know I love you)
Mama, Mama you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars, yes it is
Mama I just want you to know lovin' you is like food to my soul
Yes it is, yes it is, oh, yes it is, yes it is, yes it is oh
You're always there for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes you did
And you took up for me
When everyone was downin' me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on
There were so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you'd come to me and say to me
I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You'll always be, you will always be
The girl in my life, ooh oh
Mama, Mama you know I love you
(You know I love you, you know I love you)
Mama, Mama you're the queen of my heart, (You are)
Your love is like tears from the stars
(Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama I just want you to know (Mama I just want you to know)
Lovin' you is like food to my soul
Never gonna go a day without you
Fills me up just thinkin' about you
I'll never go a day without my mama
Mama, Mama you know I love you
Mama, Mama you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars
(Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama I just want you to know lovin' you is like food to my soul

Bis - Bis! Your sun did set too soon. In you, we lost a dear friend, a dependable and formidable ally. An epitome of good things to many people. Indeed you were a Tabitha of our time but our entreaties to the Lord could not preserve your dear soul. May your sweet, gentle soul rest on in the bosom of the Lord. Sorely missed by Tunde & Foluke Adekoya

```The definition of a mother is a woman who gives birth or who has the responsibility of physical and emotional care for specific children.

But your love and care isn't for just specific children but every one you sets your eyes on even your age mates.
Mummy General Your are a gift to humanity and a true definition of a virtuous woman.

A gift to Egejuru family , his husband strength and pride , Akirika ukwu will forever cherish your selfless personality, UKWA EAST LGA will miss you, and the Heavens has stolen and Angel in human form form the earth .

You're always in my heart and many others, I love you beyond words.

I believe God just wanted you to come and rest because you were a very strong fighter .

I join with the host of angels in celebrating you everyday of my life  ❣️```

Olabisi, hmmmm. If I say this has not come as a shock I am kidding myself. You have been such a beautiful soul since I knew you in Queens School. When we met up again for my various fabrics to be sewn, you were ever so nice and took my daughter Omowunmi as your own even when I stopped coming over. What about your hospitality. You have a beautiful soul and always looking so beautiful. I could gist with you for hours. You will be missed my dear aburo but God knows. Keeping resting God has taken you home

Bisi had a beautiful personality. She was very
accommodative and had a gift of hospitality. May she continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty. She will be missed.

The scripture says, Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write; Blessed are the dead who died in the Lord from now on; Yes, says the spirit, that they may rest from their labours and their works follow them. Rev.14:13
Mummy Egejuru, throughout your life here, you were able to demonstrate the spirit of love, great hospitality and christian virtues to the core. Your generosity was beyond human understanding. Your humility, simplicity and sense of belonging cannot be over-emphasised. Your compassion and willingness to touch life and to put smile on people's faces were inexplicable. You were very quick to make life comfortable and better for whoever that came your way especially the poor and the needy. We love you, but your creator loves you more. Our only consolation, strenght and hope is in what the scripture says, God takes the righteous away before the evil days.
We all know your existing this world is not without the knowledge of God. He has the power to keep you alive but He allowed you to come home for a purpose. Good night.
Adieu!!!! Dorcas of our day

Aunty Bisi,
A virtuous woman indeed. You were always cheerful, and you light up a room just by walking in to it with a smile on your face. You were ever ready to help anyone who was in need, and you treated everyone with love and kindness. I am saddened to hear that you are no more, but I know you are resting well with the Lord. You will be sorely missed. Till we meet again aunty.

As a member of FGC GRA choir, I remember looking for mum in the crowd as she would always be the encouraging, happy face dancing to the music. She raised four beautiful kids. She was a true Proverbs 31 woman. She will not be forgotten. Till we meet again, dear momma.

Rest well in the bosom of the Lord.

Aunty Bisi you will surely be missed. You were like my second Mum, caring, loving, generous and God faring. A true virtuous woman. Ever smiling. I would miss your loud boisterous voice. Rest in the bossom of our Lord till we meet again. Te amo muito minha tia querida.

The thought of you gone weakens my heart but the thought of where you have gone to gladdens my heart. To say you would be greatly missed is an understatement as you have lived to touch so many lives, you are a mother amongst mothers, a mother to be desired by all. You have been a blessing to me and to my family from the inception. We love you and can only at this point pray that God would continue to keep and bless all that you have left behind, He would pour soothing oil in all our hearts and grant us all, the fortitude to bear the loss. Aunty we love you but God loves you more. Adieu.

It is really hard to imagine that Bisi is no longer with us. On my last visit to Nigeria in January 2020, she came all the way to Lekki to see me. Never mind the horrendous traffic or the fact that she only became aware of the trip after my arrival. But that’s vintage Bisi: always a friend; never holding grudges. As we joked and laughed, little did I know that it was going to be the last time. Be that as it may, I thank God for the privilege of having had her as a friend and colleague. I will always cherish the wonderful memories: laughter, kindness, generosity......Bisi, may your gentle soul Rest In Perfect Peace!

Mummy hmmmmmm. Benchmark!! like I fondly called you. I never thought I will be writing this. We prayed , we cried together, we believed God that you will pull through. We planned out thanksgiving shoes( Gold ) After your fourth session that I came to the hospital to see you, you noticed how scared I was but you encouraged me that you were fine and you were only trying to sleep. I didn't know that was the last time I would see you .My heart is broken but i surrender to the Sovereignty of God. Second Mum I love you dearly and will surely miss you. Adieu
