Time has passed so quickly. You are forever loved, missed and cherished. I remember our chats , belly laughs...oh the singing and fashion that you brought to our office. Continue to rest on the light and love of our Father, enjoy your heavenly rest

Love and light

Yvonne Haynes

today marks three years since you left us. It marks three years since you gained your wings and went to heaven to go see Papa Joe and Mama in heaven. Not a day goes by where I wish I could change the outcome of things but it’s just reality and it’s hard to get used to it. Aunty I finally graduated college !!! I know you’d be so proud of me screaming UGO1BILLON all the way from London. Now I hear you screaming all the way from heaven. I still feel your presence sometimes when I’m so confused with life and I feel like I have nobody to talk to I know that you’re comforting me just like you used to before. I hope you see all the cool things your babies are doing. I wish there was enough time for us. Rest well aunty please watch over me

Happy 70th birthday to my sweet cousin and friend. Your memory will always remain in our hearts. I missed you so much.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Stella

Loved and missed you in my heart

Ms Stella

I am in deepest shock as I only found out yesterday. I've ben googling you form last year- longing o make contact with you again not knowing you have gone to be with Our Lord and Saviour.

I tried again yesterday afternoon online and could not believe what I read. We did not get to meet again after 15 years . I am deeply saddened. But I am happy that I had the opportunity to be a colleague and a friend. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord. Audrey

Sister Stella

Going through my phone coming across your pictures each time ,puts a smile on my face My Lolo ,my sister, my aunty

Rest on in peace Sister Stella .

Love always & forever

My Dearest Stella, it’s been a year since you left us but it still feels like yesterday. I still cannot believe you are gone. Words cannot describe the loss I feel. I miss you so much, my dearest friend. I’m heartbroken!!!
The sadness never goes away the silent tears still flow, you’re thought of and so sadly missed more than you’ll ever know. However, I know you are with the Angels, safe and sound in Heaven so I hold on to the memories and treasure them with love.
I knew Stella for about 18yrs but we became best friends 7years ago when I became her manager. It was a privilege to be her manager because I didn't have to worry about her work performance. Stella’s role was one she performed with outstanding passion, sensitivity and dedication. We all use to see the enjoyment and satisfaction in her when she assisted/supported vulnerable clients in keeping their homes as well as seeing them get their lives back on track.
Stella leaves behind an incredible legacy of hard work and dedication on the front lines of the council’s homelessness response. She worked closely with both external and internal bodies very well. She was well loved and respected by her colleagues, and will be greatly missed. She was a fantastic team player and always supported her colleagues, especially the new starters, always willing to share her knowledge and experiences. The team is not the same without Stella.
Stella was always ready to smile, dance and for the lucky few- give a bone crushing hug! She had a bubbly personality, lively, warm, and always ready for a laugh. Stella loved to dance in the office and got other colleagues to join in. Stella loved her children so much and always talked about them and was very proud of their achievements. I know you would have been a wonderful grandmother so its shame you didn’t live to see your beautiful grand-daughter but I know are looking down with pride, joy and dancing in Heaven.
One of Stella’s strengths was her ability to always apologise when she thinks she had offended someone. I remember when we had a disagreement she would always call later and as soon as I picked up the phone she’d say ‘I Love You, I’m sorry HRH’ then we’d start chatting again. Stella was convinced that we were sisters and would constantly ask me ‘are sure you are not Igbo’ and I would always respond I'm positive.
We were inseparable and will call each other about 6 -7times a day. Sometimes when Stella realised we had spoken a lot in a day and she wants to talk more, she would call and pretend as if she wanted to discuss a homeless case with me and I would tell Stella I believe you don’t need an answer from me– her response would be ‘Yes, I just wanted to hear your voice again my sister’ and we would then burst into laughter and start chatting for hours. I have miss your risqué videos & messages, your laughter, our conversations, Stella– It’s not the same without you, I miss you so much my sister.
Stella we love you and miss you dearly, you will be deeply missed by family, friends, colleagues and all who had the pleasure of knowing you.
Even though no words can really help to ease the loss we bear, just know that you are very close in our thoughts and prayer. Stella you will be forever missed, your life was a blessing. Time may pass and fade away but memories of you will always stay with us.
We love you so much but I guess God loves you more. The Heavens have again an Angel.
MAY YOUR BEAUTIFUL, KIND AND GENTLE SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE My DEAREST FRIEND, STELLA!!!

Dear Stella: it’s been almost a year since you were snatched away from us and a birthday to celebrate without you! A lot has happened since your sudden departure especially, the birth of your grandchild! Happy birthday friend and continue to rest in heavenly peace ✌. IJN.

My dear cousin-in-law Stella:
Your uneventful passage to eternity remains dumbfounding to me. Your dear warm presence was not only evident during my wedding to your cousin Chnedium in Nigeria (1986), you  equally lighted my home here in the United States with cheers and such innate motivations in you towards our very own offspring (Obinna) in his traditional wedding less than 10 months ago.
In addition to these family affairs, I found you very personable and your humorous charts would obviously be missed here on earth.

Ogomu nwayi: : by our faith in the Almighty God. I pray the short joy you may have had here on earth be far less than the one awaiting for you in our final destination before the Lord our Creator. Amen. Farewell my in-law.

Dearest Sister Stella it was such a shock to learn of your passing. I met you only briefly during my short stint working with you in Islington. On my first day you held my hand, took me to heart and made me feel like l had known you forever. You generosity of spirit, your kindness and love for all who crossed your path including the clients who came to seek your help. Even when l left the service after only a month you constantly kept in touch, making sure l and my girls are okay. My heart truly bleeds that l will never see that dazzling smile again. You truly had a mighty heart. Sleep peacefully in the bosom of the Lord Auntie Stella and continue to reign with the Angels

In the years you’ve spent on this Earth, you’ve touched many people. You were a heart deeply loved by all. Your presence warmed hearts and your laugh could fill a room miles away. Everyday I wish you could’ve had a little more time. Enough time for one trip to London. Enough time for us to laugh and joke again. Although I will miss you greatly, I know that God makes no mistakes. You are at peace now. You will live on in memory and through all the stories there are to tell. I know that you are forever going to be my guardian angel. I will celebrate your life with joy.

My Beloved Aunty Stella,

Your absence has left a gaping hole in my heart. You were the grandmother I never had. A caring, loving, fun aunt of mine who I never imagined would leave me so soon. I understand that you are peacefully residing with God now, but I can't help but wish that you could still be here with me. I am still here wishing that I could see you one last time, hear your voice one last time, tell you 'I love you' one last time. You will live on in my heart, and in the hearts of all those you have touched. I love you eternally Aunty Stella. Enjoy everlasting life in Heaven. I will see you when we meet again in Heaven when it is my time to join you. God Bless your soul. May you rest in perfect peace.

To my Dancing, Fashion, Church Queen, Stella.

Thank you for your laughter and prayers, our chats and your advice and most of all for your powerful spirit!

I dedicate the song “I know who I am” by Sinach, to you, forever.
I remember you singing this loudly and dancing well to this song during a church service, whilst laughing and smiling with joy. This is how I will remember you.

Stella dearest,
It is sad you left this world but God knows the reason He called you home at this time.
Stella, I never saw you angry. You always come up with different jokes to lighten the atmosphere. Who will send me funny videos clips Zebee alias 4.30, Ovularia & Clarus.
You will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with your family.
I take comfort in the book of 1Thessalonians 4 vs13-14 which says “ But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
Good night, Sleep well Stella until we meet at the bossom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear friend, I didn’t know when I talked to you shortly after the new year that it’ll be the last time I hear your sweet voice. I was screaming uncontrollably when your son broke the sad news to us! I’m so sorry this dreadful disease took you away prematurely from your loved ones! I l’ll miss your vibrant conversations, positive outlook, news from UK and the chuckles! My consolation is that you left a lot of indelible memories with everyone you met. More so, your children are your living legacy! May your gentle soul Rest In Perfect Peace until we meet again! Adieu!

Yvonne Haynes ex Housing Islington colleague. I am writing to express my heartfelt condolences to family friends and colleagues to anyone who knew Stella. I was blessed to call Stella a colleague we would laugh joke dance sing. She would always speak of her children. Stella was the personification of style and love. God had a plan and purpose. We will never understand the why but I do know Stella is resting with the Angels in a better place. Stella made an indelible mark in the lives and hearts of many. May she continue rest in eternal peace and wear the most amazing . The work is finished . Love you always. Never forgotten ❤

I will miss seeing you each time I visit the old office. You always kept your head held high and you were so vibrant. You touched so many people in your life. Rest in peace and may your loved ones find comfort in knowing how much you meant to so many people.

Dear Stella, a wonderful, caring and funny colleague who will be sadly missed.
My thought are with her family

My Dear Aunty,
It would be selfish of me to say that I wish you were still here with us. Nobody knows what your life would have been like post Covid and what restrictions you might have faced. I believe in my heart God showed you two choices and you took the better route. It’s very hard not being able to talk to you anymore. I just wish you could scream “UGO1BILLION “ one more time or fill my whatsapp messages with daily prayers and new articles you’ve come across. Aunty there’s much more I wanted to say to you. Thank you for being my God mother for the past 20 years and Guiding me in the right direction. Thank you for sticking up for me when I couldn’t do it myself. Please watch over mommy and I. Save a seat for me in heaven next to Papa Joe and Grandma. This is not goodbye but see you in another life time. 

Auntie Chineru,
Is so sad to hear about your passing.is still like a shock to me,is like a dream that someone have to wake me up,up till now i still can’t believe it.may your soul rest in peace,is very difficult to write this tribute,is had hard to type RIP .

Each time i think of you the tears just don't stop rolling down my face i have cried, lord knows i have still cannot believe you have left us , your family , your colleagues .

We still can't comprehend this huge loss the fact that you have been taken away from us too soon Sister Stella .

Your laughter the love you shared was priceless we had a special bond because our birthdays were only a few days apart so you understood me well , you would tell me like it is even if i didn't want to hear it i miss that in you .

You had a way of making us laugh in the office or during meetings you had a presence no other person had you would dance and let us know its Friday , a classic dance (laughing out loud) you went out of your way to make everyone happy even when we  were upset about something bless you .That we all will truly miss.

Sister Stella a beautiful Soul, a real star, full of life a lady who not only encouraged me to do my job to the best of my ability but also with regards to my personal life you were always there to listen to support me were possible i you had nothing but good words to say that was one of the reasons why i had nothing but love for you .

You were and will continue to shine bright like the shinning star that you are .

Even though you have gone you will always remain in our hearts never forgotten love you always.

Sister Stella a lady that played a unique role in all our lives .

May you Rest on peace xxxxxx Cathy

How does one express the amazing essence and spirit of Stella, her selfless generosity, uncompromising belief in all that is good and her unwavering commitment to family, friends and especially with her work in helping and supporting homeless families is inspirational.

I have known Stella since 2016 when I joined the Council, and I remember my first few weeks as Stella took me under her wings and showed me the ropes and supported me in my early days, and lifted me up when I was down with her smile, her infectious laugh and unique sense of humour, and most importantly her dancing....I miss your dancing in the office.

Stella’s generosity would extend not only through her acts of kindness but with her cooking !! Stella would cook her special Jollof rice and feed the whole office, bringing in fruits, sweets, cakes and was known as the “feeder” of the team. I miss your cooking.

Words, even the very best of words, cannot pay tribute or truly capture the sense of loss that we are all feeling.

The loss is there, tangible and real within everyone…but Stella exemplified life, love, laughter and an irrepressible belief and faith in seeing the best in everything and in everyone.

And so today we honor Stella, by profoundly feeling and expressing our loss, but also by remembering Stella, an amazing person who has played a unique and special role in all of our lives.

We remember Stella as a mother, sister, friend, colleague and much more….we will all miss you Stella xx RIP my friend

"Madam Stella" as I usually call Stella, you were a beautiful soul and a rare gem.
I watched you come into work daily being unapologetically fabulous and being a light shining so bright. You inspired me to "do me" wherever I am and I loved you for it.
Rest on in the Lord, you are dearly missed.

Da, your demise has created a huge deficit. Each passing day I keep having momentarily flash backs of the moments and memories shared.
You always had a right word for any moment. Every moment with you was a means to share experiences, you never left anyone behind, your smile, laughter, prayers, words of encouragement were signatory.

I will always cherish the love and bond we shared.

Rest on Dada Chinuru, rahu nke oma.

Dearest Aunty Stella
May your legacy of kindness continue.
May your smile's always be remembered.
May you rest in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.

MAY YOU ALWAYS LIVE IN GOD'S GLORY AND WALK IN HIS KINGDOM

May you always live in God's Glory and walk in His Kingdom for the resourcefulness and happiness you gave us that no one will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone, a part of us went with you, the day God called you home . A million times we would have preferred to have you and a million times we cried. If love could only have saved you, you never would have died. The God of Glory be with you till we meet again in the beautiful shores of His Kingdom.
