Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be writing this for you. Your exit from this world has left a hugh vacuum for us all. You were so close and readily available 24/7 that I naively assumed you would be here with me, us forever. You cared so much for my career growth and prayed earnestly that I would meet my better half, I didn't worry half as much as you did sef :). You would joke continuously that "a to kan e oluko Jesu" as I yabbed you in your pregnant state.
You knew your God given gift was your ability to connect with both young and old, rich and poor and you used it to influence people to be the best they can be. Everyone who wanted to have a pound of you did in good measure, there was no room for jealousy.
Our Mrs. FixIt, no obstacle remained as one, there was always a way around it. Our 'Alan Shearer ', everyone must have an equal and fair share #ifyouknowyouknow. Mrs. Eloquent, I marvel at how you keep everyone's attention during conversations and presentations, it is never a dull moment. Mrs. Organizer, we can always trust you to have records of events and financials.
You were professional in all your dealings. Your environmental projects were executed to time, within scope and to the delight of the project team and your clients. When the mantle of leadership fell on you at a young age, you faced it head-on and did not renege. You were humble enough to seek advice from anyone you felt could help, whether younger or older than you.
I miss you everyday, it feels like a dream. When people offer condolence to us, I just smile and wonder if it is really us they are sympathizing with? I play back events of the last 4 weeks and safely conclude its time travel.
From our conversations, you never thought you had made such a significant impact in the society. You faced your major fear of integrating with the city of Port Harcourt as you relocated and you aced it sis; walking with God that is... the testimonials say it all.
I am comforted knowing God has given you Eternal Rest away from the struggles of life. I earnestly pray that to all of us who are deeply hit by your painful exit, God would pour the double portion of your anointing as he did Elisha upon Elijah's translation to Heaven.
Your legacy lives on!
Adieu My Sister and Friend
