She was a young woman full of life and dedicated to her duties while I met her. She is very courteous and I also know that she is God fearing. I pray that God grant you eternal rest and you will be missed by all your children.

I had the pleasure of meeting Damilola in high school. whenever I saw her she always had a bright smile while she sang highschool musical songs with friends. He was a simple person but yet full of life and such good memories of her will never leave me.

Damiiiiii
Damilola!! Damolition!
I have cried my eyes out! And still am writing this from my bed. It still fees like a dream!! You were so warm, so kind, so compassionate, Filled with so much joy and laughter, so strong willed but yet so emotional. You loved whole heartedly and fully. I learnt how to love without a care from you. You were such a huge part of my childhood. I remember when we would gather after school in Miss Anyanwu’s class, singing songs to Highschool musical, to camprock, the Jonas Brothers and all of Disney Channel’s series. This is so painful and so hurtful. Never in my wildest imagination would I ever believe I would be writing this.
You loved to sing, with such a beautiful and sonorous voice. We would laugh and play and sing all through school, Calling you Damolition, which was meant to be your stage name. I remember when a group of us named ourselves BADTOYES saying we would sing and conquer the world. I would never forget the day Prefects were meant to get their badges in SS2 and I didn’t end up being the Head Girl and it hurt me so much, you gave me a shoulder to cry on in the toilet. You were always there to listen, always there to lend a helping hand. I will never forget the day we teamed up and beat Kenny and Thomas during a quiz competition in school and our faces made it to the hall of fame board in school. You were one of the people who inspired me to bake and I remember the day you taught me to cook coconut rice. Even when I came to London for my electives in Uni, you came to meet me and took me round we ate to stupor, went to Greenwich, O2 Arena and I didn’t pay a dime for any of it. You were a friend with such a large heart. I always admired how much you loved God and I hoped and always hope to love loudly the way you have done. We have had too many memories together. You left a mark in my life I would never forget. I love you forever Dami. I love you.

Sweet Dami, I met you during Nysc( medical Cds) you were always so warm and friendly , I can remember when I was looking for a school for my daughter and you said I should enrol her in the school you worked at, you said you will take care of her, that’s how amazing you were, you were also so hardworking and you never complained, Dami may your soul Rest In Perfect peace, God knows best, we can’t question Him.

Hi Dami, it is so unreal to know that you are no longer here. I can't find the words to express this feeling. It is unfair but I can't question God, especially when he wants his precious angel to come be by his side.
I said Dami hasn't lived for her to be gone but I was wrong. Dami, you have been an inspiration to so many people. You touched and changed lives for the better. I remember when we were in the choir in Rainbow and you would hit those high soprano keys. I knew you were special. You didn't let anything or anyone bring you down. You were confident in who you were because God was with you at all times and I know God is with you now.

Rest in Peace Dami.

I hope you’re resting in the bosom of the Lord...I miss you Dami...you will forever be in my heart sister❤️

THE ROSE- SHORT YET SWEET
Damilola, you came, you saw, you conquered. Your life was like a rose..beautiful to behold with a sweet fragrance that leaves a lasting lingering impression on all that come across it.
You had lofty dreams, some of which you actualized. Your passion and love for Christ was palpable, your contributions insightful, your wisdom and integrity far beyond your years.
You loved humanity..both young and old, especially the tots. You were so impassioned you purposed to spend your lifetime setting up the building blocks of their lives.
Ah..Dami, you will be sorely missed, but remembered by what you have done. Like the rose, you blossomed, you spread your fragrance and in the evening you shed your petals. Your passing, a poignant reminder of the psalmist's words " man's days are like grass and all his glory like the flower of the fields..."
Rest daughter and take your place with the angelic host as you add your beautiful voice to their melody.

Damisco!
You were such a gem! You had such an indelible impact in my life. You were one of my first true friends and for that I will be forever grateful.
Your smile, your passion for life, everything about you was so evident in the way you taught those Kids.
God bless you Dami! You will surely be missed.

Dami... Dami... Dami...
I'm speechless!
You were selfless.
You made some tasks so easy for me.
I saw you on Sunday (18th Oct.), not knowing it would be the last. That day,as I saw u, you were so radiant. I said "Dami, you are looking quite beautiful today!" You smiled, saying "thank you ma." After Sunday Service, you came into our home, and sat, for us to continue watching the film we were watching the previous day. I set eyes on you again, and said the same thing. You smiled. As I was escorting you to the gate that evening, I said "Wow Sis D, I'm not lying. You are really looking gorgeous!" I did not know that those would be my last words to you!
You radiated God's glory Dami...
My family especially will miss you.
You encouraged us in EVERYWAY, and I mean EVERYWAY.
Hmmmm, none of God's work slacked in your hands.
Who am I to question the Sovereign Lord.
You did your bit. Lord help me serve you too, and do my best.
Rest on Dami, Rest on....
I love you, but God loves you more.

Damilola was pleasant to be around, kindhearted and always happy.
I remember her fondly for loving to sing any chance she got, I am very sure she is in the company of the heavenly choir singing praises to the lord now.
May the lord Comfort the family, Amen.
Rest In Perfect Peace Damilola.

Aunty Dami, I really don't know where to start from. The first time I had a one on one discussion with you was when u caught me crying at camp due to reasons pertaining my admissions. The first thing u said was 'Have u settled it on your knees". Those words still pushes me on till this moment. Do we want to speak of times you will call and say Faith u need to engage your teenagers or your daily quotes,uplifting songs, your charming smile that is highly contagious. You were one in a million ,your love for God is not from this world at all. Rest in the blossom of the Lord.

How do I say goodbye to my best friend? How do I deal with the fact that I'll never see you again on earth? I'll not bake Christmas cookies with you or eat your fantastic Fried rice? So I won't be able to give you a big hug anymore? So we won't watch movies together and laugh ourselves silly? So you won't embarrass me on your status on my birthday anymore. You won't hear my countless, "Aunty Dami please buy something for me" or "Aunty Dami when are we going out". How do I deal with the fact that my cheerleader has left me? Your constant encouragement for me to chase my writing dreams and become a better spoken word artist rings in my ears like bells. So we won't stare at each other when something wierd happens and burst into laughter. I know this is not the end, Your constant teachings resonates in my heart, You taught me self worth, you taught passion me for Jesus because your passion was contagious, You taught me responsibility, you taught me to chase my dreams. Did you know I still have your nail polish set? I will cherish all your gifts to me both physically, spiritually and emotionally. You have impacted me in more ways than one. You got a headstart on us all and I know you are with the Father, Singing and rejoicing with the Angels. Your melodious voice serenading the heart of the father as he dances to your tune. I know we will meet again, in a place where there's no pain and suffering and we will laugh again. Please save me a spot next to you.
You are scored on my heart, you are imprinted in my Life. I bless the day I met you and called you Aunty Dami. I love you to the moon, the stars, the whole cosmos and right back.
With a heavy heart and teary eyes I can't say goodbye to you, but I'll say See you later. I know you are Resting with your lover and My lover. Rest well, Your legacy is forever framed on the walls of my heart.

Your baby:

Dear Aunty Dami. I met you for the first time in 2015 during the VBS session and I do not regret any moment we shared together. You were such a lively and generous person. You would always call my mum to check on us and pray for us during our birthdays. I also remember the faith sisters fellowship where you would always make sure we got closer to God. I last spoke with you on my birthday (September 5th) and you prayed for me. I remember you planning ahead for your birthday this year. Only if you knew you’d be with the Lord before then...I love you Aunty Dami and so do my sisters do. Rest in the bossom of the Lord Aunty Dami. You left a good legacy behind. You imparted the lives of a lot of people. You were a UNIQUE SOUL. Till we meet at the feet of Christ, ADIEU...

Dami!!! Can’t believe it. I got to know Dami in Junior high school as well as at Berea Baptist Church which I attended for a while.
Dami was so passionate about everything she did. Her smiles, laughter, voice oh God a bright light went out too soon. Her passion for children was very evident and she has left a huge void in the lives of many. We take solace in knowing she is singing with the Ángels in heaven and resting with God. Keep resting baby girl, till we meet at the feet of the most high.

It's still so hard to believe that you're no longer here with us but I was taught to always give thanks to our heavenly father in all situations. So, today I choose to thank God for the gift of your life. I met you almost 4 years ago as my daughter's teacher but your warmth, genuine character and obvious love for the children endeared you to me.
We bonded more on our love for makeup.
It is true that heaven has gained another angel.
Rest in peace aunty Damdam till we meet to part no more.
You'll be greatly missed.

Dear Dami,
Its been a tough 48hrs after hearing about your demise.
Its still unbelievable that heaven took you and it is sooo hard to say Good bye at the moment.
Fondest memories of you were with your sisters, cousins, neighbours and all the kids in church..
You will be sorely missed but your inspirational work and walk with God in this short time has been impactful enough to boost our morales and brighten our hearts.
We would miss you Dami... I would miss you. Rest Well dear.

Remembering old times, eyes can't just stop being teary. Is it your passion for teenagers and children we should talk about ? Or the love of God that you couldn't help but circulate ? Is it how angry you were at us when it looked as though we were slacking spiritually or how annoyed you looked when we saw our eyes wide open during prayers or when our hands weren't above our heads during praise ? Should we talk about how hopeful you were when distributing the memory verses to the kids and how always being cheerful for saying it well? Should we talk about your popular phrase after the children's day program " children come to the children's department there is lot of 'jemu jemu' "? Though you had often called we teenagers "agbaya"you had never stopped giving us the biggest share or should we talk about the outings you always take we girls to after collecting your salary or the loving African earrings this is just one of your numerous gifts? In one of your outings with us you started with if we had a boyfriend and ended on the note that there was no perfect age for that decision that all age is okay as long as we are emotionally intelligent, Aunty Dammy the number of times we've discussed personally is countless. You even made meet my number one gospel celebrity Tim Godfrey. During our engagement on the formally trending don't leave me competition you kept on shouting we shouldn't leave you, we never planned on leaving you unknown to us you were actually the one leaving. What would happen to the faith sisters, your initiative? You said we had gist last week Sunday didn't you? Your name would never be erased from my heart and I am also sure your footprints is in the sand of time. Though I never planned on writing your tribute I might never as well forgive myself if I ignore your outstanding and naturally displayed attributes. I would miss you aunty Dammy. I really would.

DB!
What an amazing soul you were.
Writing this just means I’ve accepted in my heart that you’ve really gone, but I know you’ve gone to a greater place.
You lived a very purposeful life, the great planner herself, you did everything you ever committed yourself to do perfectly, and everyone who had anything to do with you no matter how brief, felt your impact.
You related with everyone with so much love in your heart, your smile, your contagious laugh when gisting.
Those blessed hands always made great meals, your angelic voice, your love for the children and the teenage girls.
So much to say about you DB......
I’m really going to miss you!

The news of your demise came to us as a shock,I am yet to recover. Yours was a life well spent,adding values to the lives of those little angels that came along your path. You made children look forward to coming to church every Sunday. You understood their languages and made them obeyed with ease. Your zeal towards the task of your master was so inspiring.
You used your love,gifts,humility and simplicity to penetrate their hearts. Yours was a life so short but full of impacts.
We take solace in the assurance that you started in Christ and ended it well. Till we meet at the feet of our Lord,it's not easy saying goodnight. You live on in our memory,rest on our own aunty Dammy!

The few times I spent around you was always fun, you were the vibe in itself, you had a beautiful voice and you were passionate about the work of God, thats what gives me great conviction that we will meet again when the Lord comes to take his own home. You'll be missed greatly but heaven just gained the most beautiful heart. Rest well in the bosom of our Lord.

I had known you way back when you were a tiny winy young lady in Pampers Private School. Bustling with energy, Smart, Witty, Unique, Social, Biggest heart!
Then You were a leader, in Senior Secondary, in high School, up to the University, we watched you, excel in everything, oh yes, The much expected, already foregone and concluded 1st, Yes a First Class ...in Medical Sciences in a Uk university,
Then You looked at me and asked if you could work with me for one year to serve your country for your NYSC.
You became hot for the Lord! Yes, you sang with a glorious ring to it, and heaven comes down, that voice was never tired nor did it ever go hoarse, you were always organising the children, at work, you prophesied into their lives.
Then you said you loved to work with children in their early years. Went for PGD in Education, you had a passion to instill knowledge in your protegee...you were called Jesus baby, you gave yourself that name .
Our Dear daughter, we talked about getting hooked, you told me you were more interested in God's work , you were passionate about Bible study class, Praise Worship sessions, a great Church Secretary, the apple of her mom's eye...and Grandpas world..
Wake me up to this reality!!
Was it not you that used to prophesy into the lives of those children in your care..?That they will live to fulfill all their heart's desire, DamDam Why?
My one time Headteacher, my daughter, Church Secretary, HoD children Dept, and all-round personal person.
I can't stop hyperventilating...Dammmmmmiiiiii ..our Dammmmmy,
Someone said you are an Iroko tree that has fallen!!!
I thought our children are meant to bury us?
I thought our children are meant to bring their own children to visit us,
Where is the wedding I always used to tease you over......
Your Mom, Oh I pray for her, may she find the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss..
My seat partner, how can I continue to seat in that row in church?
Papa epele sir, Olorun lo mo idi
We love you Jesus Baby!

Dami you did leave an indelible mark on all of us.
You taught the kids like they were all yours.
You sang with the choir and showed the kind of commitment during the last Carol that left a great impression in my heart. I can't understand how life is gonna be without hearing and watching you pour out your emotions through singing. Your love for hymns also got to me.
You were an all round blessing.
It pains to write everything in past tense.
It pains to know you are gone.
We love you but God loves you more. Rest till we meet again.
And now your watch is over. Rest in peace with the lord. .

We remember our daughter, God's own Jewel today, Oluwadamilola Oluwatosin Balogun. It's been 2 years now since you went to be with your Maker, having completed your assignment. Our joy and consolation is that your legacy still grows stronger and stronger. The children are growing to do great exploits for God as you desired. God raised great sons and daughters of Zion to continue to Great Commission in the lives of our children and teenagers. My prayer is that God will continue to strengthen your family and the church family you left behind. Rest on in the Bossom of our Father, till we meet to part no more in Jesus name amen!♥️♥️♥️

Dami Balogun,

It's with heavy heart I write this tribute. You were a hearty peri and lady on-the-go. Every time, you had always set goals for yourself. You gave some of our colleagues the vim they needed to sit up in the just concluded Program at the PGDE level in University of Lagos. You were an inspiration to this mourner. 

You were my seat partner for almost one year we had the Program. I'll not fail to mention even in your absence that you were my phonetics teacher while I was your vocabulary teacher. You were academically sound and a great newscaster and in fact, you were the one for the class. 

The camaraderie we had was strong even though we could disagree on some grammar schools of thought. 

Many depended on your notes because you had them in comprehensive forms; and the exams jotting by the margins of your note, I always looked out for those ones and they were rewarding. 

All your good deeds can't be written in this small portion. But I sure know that you are in a better place. The hassles and vicissitudes of life for you are over. 

Fare thee well until we meet at the Resurrection Morning. 

I'm,
Elder ( in your voice)

RIP, Old friend

October 28, 2020
What can I say? A few days before I heard the news, I found myself reminiscing about my experiences with you in Rainbow College and wondered how you were doing. Not 3 days later, I learn that you're gone. You will be forever missed, Dami, and I'm glad that I met you and had a friend like you.

Rest well, till we meet again at the other side.
