Dear Funke, it is amazing how time flew by since graduation. Even though that was the last time I saw you, I felt a sense of loss and sadness hearing about your sudden passing. May God send his Holy Spirit to comfort your family and loved ones. Rest in perfect peace.

You clearly touched many lives during your time in this life, a time that was cut much too short in the minds of all of us that knew you. I am glad to have trained with you those years past and I wish we could have met up at least one more time in this life. But I know you are resting in the bosom of the Lord, a thought that offers some consolation. Farewell gentle soul.

Funke, finally, I found the courage to write something here. The journey to accepting that you have left this realm was long and tortuous. Thank you for making me your friend. We did not see very often recently, but when we did, you once again were my 'Aunty Funke' and I was your 'niece'. I don't know how this our aunty-niece relationship started in Queens College, but it lasted over 30 years of our knowing each other. I will never forget you. I am so glad you are at rest with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. That's why I'm comforted and confident that we will see each other again. Bye Aunty.

Funke, gone too soon.
The Medilag jewel of a soul
Two and half decades since we all thronged out Medilag New Great Hall
Took our oat to "do no harm"
Taking away with us great ideals
Walking out into the world unknown
Biding each other goodbye and goodluck
Oblivious it was our last together
Our sojourn pulling apart thereof
Our ways diverting in this unforgiving world
Our hearts finding emerging new focus
Many of the old memories dropped
The special memories of Medilag, Idi-Araba surpressed
The ideals of Idi-Araba many adandoned
Clearly Funke did not
Testimonies of Funke's life bear witness
The words of many speak for themselves
Funke held firmly to those great ideals
Many have testified to her selflessness
Many speak of her unrivalled generosity
Her avid committment is consistently attested to
Commited to friends, family and strangers
Committed to humanity
Committed to God; importantly so
God will not abandon his own
He prepared the passage for Funke
God rekindled the ties and bonds of those great Medilag years
Just in time for Funke's passing on
A reunion which many thought was for later activities
Could it be God's set up?
The speed and enthusiasm of the Medilag reunion
It could only be God's set up
Our coming together again just days before Funke's transition
I believe this is God's set up
And we now know better
Yes a divine set for a special woman of God
Funke, our Medilag rose
You certainly lived a good and dedicated life
Not just like a candle in the wind
May your gentle soul rest in real perfect peace.
We will never walk alone.
Adieu my classmate, friend, colleague and Sister in the Lord
Farewell Funke.
Really gone too soon.
Adieu, the darling daughter of Jibowu.
Till we meet to part no more.

Jives.....still remember seeing the news flash on my screen of 'the death of Funke' and I kept saying to myself please God not Jives only to open the thread and it was 'you'...Utter shock, darkness, disbelief, denial all at once.

Our own dear sister Funke,
Who wont have something to say about you, it should be someone who never knew you because all those who knew you both from a distance or closely do have a lot to say about you. Your departure is indeed a sad one but the JOY in it is that you are with our Savior, Jesus Christ. We love you but God loves you more. Rest on sis till we meet to part no more. Amen. Oluwatoyin (Trinity Tabernacle)

Beloved Sister,
I do not know you a lot; but i cannot forget in a hurry, the beautiful smile with which you greeted me each time our path crossed in the office. I wish i had spoken more to you and enjoyed more of those smiles; then perhaps i wouldn't feel this sad. Continue to rest in the Bosom of the Lord.

Anty Sleep well, you have paid your dues. Really sad writing this for you, too short a time spent with you.
I will never forget your kind words, advises and the way you laugh. Your support brought me this far.
Good bye Anty Lammiiiii..hard to say anyway but I have to say it.
What Will Be Said About Me
June 28, 2016
Dear Sis,
In the bathroom this morning, as i kept asking myself why you had to live now, so many thoughts were in my mind and head but the pressing one was ''WHAT WILL BE SAID ABOUT ME WHEN ITS MY TURN TO GO''. Death is certain but we all need to check ourselves. So much has been said about our dear sister Funke and they are not cooked up stories, they are the truth and nothing but the truth. Will i get 1% of this?, Hmmmmm
Rest on Sis
My Sister. My Friend
June 23, 2016
Jives.
We started off as roomates in school (and remained roomates for the duration of medical school) but transitioned into friends and then sisters.
Beautiful, Generous, Gentle but firm when necessary. Witty, Smart as a tack. Dependable. No drama but yet that wonderful complexity to your sweet simplicity. Your self confidence which could not help but manifest externally in your own unique steady stride. The elegance with which you carried yourself...
I have no one story set in time but rather a continual one because Funke, you gave me a home away from home for my 8 years plus in Lagos. You and your family welcomed me graciously and made my time in school painless. You were always there for me, for my Mom in my absence. I just had to call.
Last October, I couldnt see you but spoke to you from your house in Ikeja while you were in Abuja. I am just so glad I got to talk to you a few weeks ago.
Why did this happen? Knowing that you trusted in the Lord and that it was His decision, I have no choice but to accept his will.
My prayer is that God will give Mummy, Remi, Toyin and Fola and the rest of your family and friends, the strenght to cope with your passing on. May we all take heart knowing that one day, we will meet again where there will be no sorrow or parting of ways but rather a resumption of where we left off. Until then Jives.
