IJEOMA, ka Chukwu nalu nmuo gi n'ndokwa - Amen.

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

Nnenna, Uncle and the entire family: Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this most difficult time. Auntie was such a wonderful and humble human being. May her soul rest in perfect peace. "Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow." (Author unknown)

Dear Aunt Ori..... More like Grandma Ori to me. You have touched all our lives with the warmth you showed whenever we visited, the hugs you gave us whenever you saw us out in public and always asking about how we are faring. I tHank God I met you. May God grant your soul eternal rest and comfort your family..

Aunty Ori a special person, a well spoken intelligent lady.A no-nonsense lady, but also loving and welcoming. I remember going to her house as a child, there was always something to greet you with. And for me an avid reader , always a book to read or borrow. You could always be sure to have an intelligent conversation with her.
I remember the last time I saw her was in January, while the African cup of nations was going on, we watched a few matches together and learned one or two things from her.She will be missed by us all.
To my dear cousins, take comfort in knowing that she has gone to a better place.
Rest in peace Aunty.

Mom Ori, I pray we all will still meet on the last day. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen

Oriaku Chinwe Ogwo...I may add, Odozi Ndu! Your virtues in the realm of motherhood are epitomised by the love enshrined in the children you raised as exemplified by their candour in the commemoration of your life in memoriam...rejoice in perfect harmony with the angels.

Mo'm Ori...Sleep well... I will NEVER forget you Aunty...

Continue to rest in peace. Heaven is full of joy having you there.

Though we never met you Ma, we could see your reflection in our friend and brother..Okey Ogwo; His love and commitment for the gospel of the kingdom. You are a great Mum! May your gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord."

A wise soul said ‘Once a mom, always a mom!’

It's so true…Moms never cease to be moms, not even in death. We’ll feel them in their many offspring; smell them in the scent of flowers; see them in God's beauty all around. We’ll continually hear their soft, gentle voices caution and urge us on.

Mom Ogwo will ever remain a Dear Mom...even in death.

Adieu Mom

Your legacies live through you children...may you find peace in the bossom of the lord. Gaa nke oma!

The warmth of our individual recollections of time spent in your company erases any cold we may feel at your passage. Laa na udo, ezigbo ogom nwanyi!

News of the death of a loved and special one may weigh us down like lead, but beautiful memories of time spent together with that person warm us up, buoy us up and lift our spirits up in wonderful ways.

To be forever missed
is to be forever loved
with a love
that lives, breathes
heaves and hopes

It is to be forever loved
by a love that grows, glows
and radiates the love you planted

a love that draws from the gifts
of eternal beauty and solidity
which you so generously
and selflessly gave to all
whose lives you touched
and enriched

Sweet gentle soul, rest in peace.

I learnt of your passing from my mum Mrs Iso Ebiefie...your age mate and member of your unit in the church. My mum has been so heart broken because lately she has lost quite a number of her friends of which you were one. My encounter with you was always pleasant though was usually only when i visited the church. You indeed would be missed Mum...My Mum misses you so much....You will be missed!!! RIP....

Though we never met , I can see Mummy's outstanding character in her son Uche . Her influence lives on.

Rest in peace. Your memory will always be blessed. You will remain forever in the wonder people you brought into this world.

I was hoping to Celebrate with You and Daddy Ogwo during your last Wedding Anniversary, Uche had sent me an invite. I was so Pained that I missed out on Your Grand occasion. I'm more pained now that I didn't get a chance to hug You because I was looking forward to this year's Wedding Anniversary. You were definitely a Special Mum, Uche boosted of You all the time. You will be remembered Always! Rest in the Lord Mum Ogwo.

I learnt of your passing from Uche. When I told my mom she exclaimed, 'oh that nice, intelligent woman, we all use to meet at 101 (Ikerionwu)'s place' and then went on to tell me more about you. I never met you in person but from what people have written here it's obvious you were an awesome person..........rest in peace ma.

To my dear friend Uchechi, may the Lord be with you and your family as you mourn your beloved mum. May He strengthen you and give you the fortitude to bear this loss.

May the soul of Madam Oriaku Ogwo rest in the peaceful bossom of the Lord, amen.

May your soul rest in the Bossom of the Lord. Amen.

Rest in Peace dear Mum....Dooshima & Dapo Oyewole.

Mama Uche can still remember those days at No 3 Mogaji Close, S/lere, Lagos. You were the best Aunty a growing up Child should have as a Neighbour. You treated us as part of your family ever so kind and caring. May your Soul rest in perfect peace.

Grandmother,

I never imagined that I would have to do write a tribute to you. Even though I am very much aware of the realities of life, your passing from this world into the House of God has truly shocked and saddened me. I was always eager to see you and I will ask my parents about the next time we could come visit you and Grandpa, and whenever we did my joy was always the same.

There is so much I can recall from our times together. I remember when it was just me, you and my mum in the States for your surgery. I would watch you while you rested on that rocking chair during the day and I would pray every night that God will protect you and those involved in your operation for our family’s sake. When we were ready to leave after your successful surgical treatment, I was glad that not only were you coming back home feeling better and stronger, you would be living with us in our home in Abuja. Grandpa would call and ask of you and wondered when you would come back or he could see you – he really missed you then. I also remember seeing you after I had completed my University Foundation programme for six months in England. As usual, you welcomed me home with open arms and told me that I have made my parents, my Grandfather and especially you very proud and happy. When we spoke about going to university, you said it was important to always trust and have faith in God and his ways, because even though his ways may not be known to me, they were always with good intentions. “But Kelechi, make sure to eat properly now that you are at home, so that you can gain weight and protect yourself from the cold!” you added. I laughed and replied, “Don’t worry, Granny. I will be fine…”

Now that you are no longer hear with us, I want to always remember these times. They say when you haven’t been with someone for a long time, the first thing you forget about them is their voice. I hope that I will never forget your voice. Yours was always one filled with kindness, humility, wisdom, humour and most of all, love. Yours taught me to place everything into God’s hands and also that family is an important aspect of anyone’s life. Yours was one that often spoke words of encouragement when needed. Furthermore, Granny I would like to thank you for bringing my mother, and her brothers into this world. They are true reflections of your strength, intelligence and your fear of God. They are people I look up to everyday. As I say my final goodbyes, I assure that your family will celebrate your memory and your warming presence, and I know that God has received you into his abode. Goodbye and hope to see you one day again.

Love,

Kelechi.

Dear Nnenna, thinking about you all at this time and praying for Gods peace, comfort and strength . Love, Ngozi and family

I met Mama once on her way to the US. What a loving mother!!.

Mummy has gone to rest. A well deserved rest.

All is well even in the midst of pains and sorrow.

Nnenna Dearest, I met your mum twice. The second time we had quite a lovely chat , with Fran my friend also. I very quickly saw her calm and gentle soul. She had a smile on her face all through our stay. It was so easy to talk with her , it was a lovely afternoon. I then saw where you got your warmth, resilience and attitude to life. I join you in gratitude to God for allowing you to have known such a beautiful person. My heart goes out to your family at this great loss.

Mothers are great treasures. We wish we could have them around forever, but there must be an end to life. We take consolation in the fact that Okey's Mum left behind a good legacy.May her soul find peace with the Lord. Amen.

Chike, there is no worse time than the loss of a mother; my condolences to you and your family. May her soul rest in peace. Amen
