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)

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.
