Iya Bose, my adorable mother, my first teacher, mother like no other. I thank God for your life. You came, you fought the good fight and I believe you are resting in the bosom of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Though you left us too soon, the impact you had on us is a priceless legacy. You are a cheerful giver, always willing to help others even with the little you had. I remembered we used to tease you with the name 'Mother Christmas', because you are always ready to give out, even if it means depriving yourself. Your death is a great loss to the family. Our jewel, our pillar, our mentor, our disciplinarian is no more. But we thank God for giving us the fortitude to bear the loss. Patricia Olufolake Oluyemisi Tayo, may you continue to rest in peace till we meet to part no more. Orisa bi Iya ko si.
