our paths crossed just yesterday and like a candle in the wind your shining light dimmed forever. we will miss your motherly disposition and passion with which you Administered the SHiPS project. May God almighty grant your soul eternal rest Adieu!!!

...the proximity of the timing your 'journey' to 'all souls day' gives us (the catholic faithfuls) a God given opportunity to share a collective prayer for you. It is all surreal trying to come to terms with the sudden manner of your departure...indeed we give thanks to God that your journey started at His temple...

Hmmm....this is so saddening! Such a wonderful vibrant woman, I enjoyed working under you even if it was for a short while. Rest in Peace Dr. Olaronke Ladipo...may God grant us all the fortitude to bear this loss...

I met you during our work in the PSRHH team.You were and always have been so warm and motherly with a charming smile for everyone. Even though we didnt work closely you never forgot a face. the news was a rude shock, you were too full of life and at your prime and peak, Lord what can we say but courage to your family and loved ones left behind. Rest in peace Doc.

I can hardly believe you are gone ma..... but can we question the one that owns our lives? No....hmmmmm Rest at the bossom of the Almighty until we will meet to part no more..

You were very protective and had a good sense of humor. You were of tremendous assistance to me at work. You will surely be missed especially when I walk into the office with a pack of food and no-one challenges to know the source.May God comfort and bless the children and family you left behind.

What a shock! May your soul rest in perfect Peace Ma! You will be greatly missed... Adieu

You have made a difference in my life this past 12 years. Rest in peace my DOCTOR.

Dr. How difficult it is to write about you in the past. You are a passionate & strong person that I can't imagine how death can get hold of you! I am therefore convinced you have gone to a better place, to the Lord. You are always looking out for me, that I am so confused now. Just last week you called to pray for me on phone. Eternal rest grant her O Lord, & let Your perpetual light shine

What moves thru us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day,one more word,one more touch, we may not understand why u left this earth so soon, or why u left before we were ready to say good-bye,but little by little, we begin to remember not just that u died, but that u lived,and that ur life gave us memories too beautiful to forget,u will always be in our heart.Adieu mama

Iya Ijebu,

A ma jo so wa e! So de fi emi nikan'le. E n'ejo o. Ki'm de ma so ru won nile na yi? Ronke, you can't die, because truth and forthrightness that you stood for can never die. You shall continue to live forever n our hearts. Sun re o, dear sister. God be with Olaolu and Damilola.

I am still in shock! My amiable mentor and sister is gone. It is so painful but we have this hope that you are resting in the blossom of the Lord.
Adieu Doctor
You will be greatly missed!

"May your soul rest in peace"

I’m shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the passing away of Dr Olaronke. She was an astute public health professional and a very nice lady whose contributions to the public health sector and SFH will be sorely missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the SFH team and her family.
May her gentle soul find rest in the bosom of the Lord

Doc, its not really easy coming to terms with this. So much great
memories...Moreso that you spent the greater part of your end weeks with HR (recruiting for your MARPS team). Beyond the work relationship, you were a good sister, ready to always offer advice and proffer solutions to any problem brought before you, well......God knows best. Rest in peace my good sister

This is indeed a rude shock ! Goodbye Dr Ronke....we will never forget you. Rest in the Bosom of your Maker and Lord till we meet to part no more IJN.

I write this with great shock.All through yesterday night when I heard the news,I kept wishing that by morning,someone will tell me it was a lie.Doc,I will sorely miss you.All of us in Lagos office will continue to miss you.I still remember your encouraging words.As we grieve,our solace remains in the fact that you had gone to a better place.You had gone to be with the Lord.Adieu Doc

Olaronke Arike Ladipo! Ye Jebu as I popularly called you. Hardly can I believe that you were indireclty biding me farewell on 22nd October, 2012 (exactly 9 days before your departure from this world). You were full of life without any symptom or sign of sickness! Waoh! Is that all? Is this all what life is made and full of? U will always be remembered and greatly missed in Pub Health. RIP

Doki, as U're fondly called. I remember very well the day you drove pass my house, you stopped&asked ''when is that young man coming back''. i gave you an answer&you said Ok, you better do. neither will I forget the night you rushed 2my house to see Chuchu because he was sick. What other way is there to discribe you other than a MOTHER. Thank u. May the good Lord give U eternal rest.

Just less than 3 weeks ago we were enjoyably doing shoping at Shoprite in Enugu & today it's sad news. But then my solace is this: "We don't really die when we die, we only leave our mortal, perishable body behind." The real us don't ever die, the real Dr Ronke Ladipo didn't indeed die. She only left her body! May she requiscat in pares! It's well with her entire family!!

May ur gentle soul rest in perfect peace mum,God knws de best for u therefore we can't question God. Aduie mummy!

N o words to express your impact on so many lives, no words to qualify who you are......you are a jewel, our jewel has gone to be with the lord......

So sad, perplexed, even tears wont bring you back..... I wish I could turn the hands of time...My very first boss, a woman of virtue, a woman with such a strong and unique personality, a true and excellent leader, you were the best in what you do and what you were known for "Hardwork"...... I learnt a lot from you. I'll miss you so much Dr... Rest in peace and so much love always! Adieu

Very shocking & sad news on your sudden demise. I remember our meeting less than 3 weeks ago (at your request) on our collaboration efforts. You were so clearly committed to collaborating & ensuring a successful outcome of your project for the benefit of Nigeria. May all your efforts not be in vain. Rest in peace & my condolences to your family & colleagues.

Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile.

Dr. Ladipo, adieu. This is really sad. The development world is mourning your death because you ran the race well. Rest well in the bosom of the Lord.

Inna lillahi wa ina ilaihim raji un. From God we came and unto him we shall all return.My Doc!! We shared alot in common, discussed and advised one another. Since we met a decade plus we have cause to compare notes. Saw you two weeks ago at AID but the workhalic in us did not allow us to talk and compare notes as usual only to hear of your sudden passage. I will miss you, my Doc!!- Jekada

Life they say is so short..But I am grateful to God that you not only lived your life to the fullest but you touched the lives of those that crossed your path in a special way. A gracious woman, one who sought after God and uprightness.Indeed your legacies will live on. RIP Doc.

Dear Doc, I still have this urge to peek into your office one more time to be sure you are really gone. Just on Wednesday last week we agreed on month-end for our next mentoring meeting. But this is not to be. If i knew that this last meeting would be the last time i would see you, i would have shared more with you.
God knows best. Rest In Peace Ma.

A Strong woman
is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely
Her tears flow just as abundantly as her laughter...

A Strong woman
is both soft and powerful
She is both practical and spiritual...

A Strong woman
in her essence is a gift to the world...

Dr. Ladipo, You were a strong woman

Adieu

Iya jebu, on Monday after my resumption from leave, I wanted to update you about my journey but our schedules would not permit. Then you travelled and ...
Your candour can never be forgotten. You will forever be in my heart.
Sun re o.

Ronke, this was not the plan.
What do we say? So sudden! can we question WHY?
May God grant you eternal Rest. God alone knows why.
Rest in Peace.

You touched lives; you touched mine. God would had spared this till later - very unbelievable God allowed this. But He knows best. I will forever remain indebted. GOOD NIGHT, MA.

Dr. Ronke, I am yet to come to terms that you are really dead. How? Just like that? Ooh so this is how to die? Hmmm! It is well.
Integrity, Dedication, Excellence -Three values I have known each of them you demonstrated and attained. Giving your time to be there; not sure if you were fully aware how much you were teaching us to be committed, indefatigable, hardworking, effective, and still lovin

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives - Be kind anyway.
If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you - Be honest and sincere anyway.
Even if you give the best you have, it will never be enough - Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God - It was never between you and them anyway.
May you rest in peace Doc- u will be beyond missed!

Death has yet acted in a mysterious way. With Doki we shared a life with a meaning. We hastened to meet our deliverables because we expected a bar of chokolate. Even our homes bear withness of your grace. Doki! Doki!! Doki!!! on ends we called. To us you were a role model we will never stop to emulate. Adieu our own Doki.

We are truly saddened by your sudden death. Everyone who had worked with you or had had an opportunity to interact with you will truly attest to the fact that you were an amazing person, mother. Your death has created a lasting void in our SFH World and in the hearts of everyone who knew you. Your memory will always remain deep within our hearts.
My sincere thoughts and prayers are with y

Your death is still a shock to me Doc. Since I knew you more than a decade, I never had cause to regret knowing you. You stood for excellence, had passion for your job and taught us same. Your message to my daughter last Sunday will never be forgotten and your memory will remain forever. Bye.

Adieu, a woman of faith, valor, virtues and integrity. So passionate and committed to work, you taught me, smart work, diligence, confidence and assertiveness. All the seeds of kindness you have sown, your children will ripe them in 100 folds. Rest on Iya Ijebu, a true mother indeed!!!

Good men/women must die, but death cannot kill their names. Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the funeral of a good man/woman, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with mortals he/she enters upon the heritage of a diviner life."
Olaronke Arike Ladipo,you have lived a fulfilled life and touched lives of many.You are a winner.RIP!

Dear Dr, i could not believe you had passed it is like a bad dream.You are one of the best people i have met ,a mother and true christian.Although your demise has devastated me , i am so happy to have known you. God bless

WHEN I GOT MARRIED YOU WERE THERE… WHEN I NAMED MY FIRST SON YOU WERE THERE… WHEN I EXCELLED YOU WERE THERE… WHEN I SLIP-UP YOU WERE THERE. YOU CALLED ME PROTOR, YOU CALLED ME THIS BOY, YOU TRUSTED ME WITH TASK IMPLAUSIBLE, YOU ADVICE ME BEYOUND THE JOB… I CAN NEVER FORGET: YOU’RE A BIG SISTER, A MOTHER AND A FRIEND! LIKE THE DOOR SHUT IN AN EMPTY ROOM YOUR ECHOS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN.RIP MA!

This is really sad news .We at TBWACONCEPT are deeply shocked and hurt by the loss of Dr. Ronke Ladipo. May her soul rest in peace. Our Sincere condolences and prayers go to the SFH family and her nuclear family. it is ,indeed, a black day for all of us.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal". Unknown.
Dokie, the fond memories we have of you, we hold so dearly.
Laolu and Dami, know that our loving thoughts embrace you.

Though your death was too sudden, but your works speak for you.
You have proven to the living that is not how long you live that matters but what impact you make while living. My greatest joy is that you God before your demise.

May your gentle soul rest in peace.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
but the love given by the person who is no more leaves a precious memory no one can steal.
If tears could build a stairway to heaven, we all would build one to bring you back.
Dr. Ladipo, rest in peace in the bosom of God

God, how short this life is, still cant believe but God has answers to all our questions. Eternal rest grant unto her o God and let perpetual light shine upon her. AMEN !!!
