A Posthumous Tribute From Aunty Bimbo:
Sissy, Sissy, Sissy, my Dearest Mother, Although I was the youngest of your three Children however you always made me feel extra special with your Love.
You were always there to share my Joys, laugh with me and also cry with me when life became painful.
Your determination and strength encouraged us your Children to aspire to excel and your love, passion and commitment to both your nuclear Family and the extended family was unshakeable.
I remember the love between you and your Sisters and how the three of you supported each other through the vagaries of life.
You taught me to hold on to the Bible (the Word of God ) as my eternal refuge and I won innumerable victories in Life through your schooling me in Prayer.
I distinctly recall at one pivotal point in my Life, I was terrified of some challenges that came up and I ran to you for solace. You sat me down and said "Let's pray together" .
After the Prayers you gave me a Psalm to read and assured me that the Lord God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Those prayers , counsel and assurance strengthed my faith immeasurably and gave me the Courage to overcome that challenge and many others after that.
You stood staunchly by your Husband , my Dad throughout his lifetime and ensured that the Family remained united and triumphant through all the vicissitudes of Life.
We remember you Sissy.
You were an exemplary Wife, Mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
Requiescat in pace
In Jesus Christ's name Amen.
