Memories of Mrs. Theresa Chukwudi Omoko

Share a special moment from Mrs. Theresa's life.

Sweet Mother

April 4

My dear unforgettable Mother,

Sweet mother I no go forget you for the suffer wey you suffer for us.

The above music came to my mind and I smiled as beautiful memories of your life here came flashing back. Where do I start to count. Indeed, I'll forever thank God for the opportunity of having you as my unforgettable and unstoppable mother.

No mountain was too high and no river too wide to do things for your relatives and friends or indeed anybody in need. You were the dependable wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunty, and loyal friend.

Thank you mummy. Nwa Obi Ugbe dalu shinne ma.
Love you Loads.

It Never Grows Old

January 5

EziNne,
It is well.
God hears the silent tears - He is big, kind and very understanding.
In you, God gave me a gift like no other - You are unique and I haven't found any other that can fill the gap that your passing has created. Many times like now, I want to tell you a story - that am sure you will understand and advise (because your wisdom is from above, your experience vast, and you were not hypocritical in your judgement). Then the silent tears starts because I realized that you are not within the reach of a phone call. But then I remember that tears not solve problems only prayer connects me to God who you frequently called upon.
I miss you Mummy - they say time heals - but am not sure because I still miss you. Thank God you are my Mother - you taught me to not accept defeat; to trust God and put in good effort; to respect others and never look down on anyone; to never be afraid to ask for help ... I just miss you.
Whenever kindness is called for, I hope I will try to show it - reminding myself that is the way you wanted it and it is the will of our Heavenly Father. Sleep well Mummy and God's peace.

January 1

Happy New Year my dear mother, ezigbo nnem.

1. Another year is dawned 2024!
Dear Father, let it be,
in working or in waiting,
another year with thee;
another year of leaning
upon thy loving breast,
another year of trusting,
of quiet, happy rest.

2. Another year of mercies,
of faithfulness and grace;
another year of gladness
in the shining of thy face;
another year of progress,
another year of praise,
another year of proving
thy presence all the days.

3. Another year of service,
of witness for thy love;
another year of training
for holier work above.
Another year is dawning!
Dear Father, let it be
on earth, or else in heaven,
another year for thee.

Nwa Nnebuogo aku nna yi ka; nwa agu, agu oo; nwuyi Ogbueshi Onwuamaeze aku di ka. Nnnem nodu ofunma and continue to rest at the bossom of your beloved father. amen.

Merry Christmas Mom

December 25, 2023

Tis the season to be joyful. We know that it is your deepest prayer for us all that we remain joyful and at peace. We still miss you everyday and in many different ways, however we are eternally grateful to God for allowing you to be our mother. HE couldn't have blessed us more.

We join you all the choirs of heavenly host and angels in singing the priase of our long expected king. All is well my dear mother. All is well.

Rest in perfect peace my beloved mother. Daalu shinne ezigbo nnem.

Dearest Grandma

October 24, 2023

Hello grandma, I constantly remember you from time to time. You always took care of my brothers and I. Recently, I looked at one of the documents you got for me that made my university applications as well as others, easy to complete.
God bless you grandma for taking care of us even from heaven, I thank God for allowing me know you ❤️.

Happy Heavenly Day

August 24, 2023

Mummy dear mummy. So much to say and nowhere to start. You lived everything you said and thought us. You lived a full life. You loved beyond measure. You showed love that knew no bound, love that sacrificed everything, love that was pure, love that bore no malice, and most of all, love that forgave all. That was you my dear mother.

Our earthly loss is indeed heaven's gain except that we had no say in the matter.
So nodu ofuma ezigbo nnem. Nnem we love you and wish you peace forever at the bosom of your dear heavenly Father.

Mummy, stay well and dance again on this blessed memorable day.
Love you always.

Praise to the Holiest in the Height

August 13, 2023

Mrs. Omokoson nnem, Loool

Mummy ama na ino ofuna. We give God all glory and honour.

So yesterday I was reminded of how you took deliberate steps to raise us with God helping you and daddy. I still marvel at how you all coped with a lot of children....wow daalu shinne, ezigbo nnem.....daalu nnem onye oga dili nma. Nwa Nnebuogo Aninye, agu. Daalu shinne, nwa Bernard Ononye akunna yi ka.

Anyway yesterday my sister shared one of those songs that you lovingly taught us while growing up, which I cherish so much. 'Praise to the Holiest in the heights and in the depths be praise' by John Newman. It was beautifully rendered by some choir and I listened again at the consoling words of wisdom of that song. The hope and inspiration that only a God fearing parent can understand and teach.

Ogochineke remembers grandmother Omoko with love, songs and some wisdom that could only have come from you. I hear your voice even in the way she says these things.

Thank you for all your love and sacrifices. Thank you my mother for always gathering and directing for unity to reign. You have no replacement, we certainly miss your magnanimity, forthrightness and genuine care.

I miss you, we all miss your absence and all is WELL.

The Book of Wisdom - Thank you mum

April 26, 2023

To our mother on this anniversary - 26th April 2023

The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God and no torment shall touch them.
In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery. And their going from us to be utter destruction; but THEY ARE IN PEACE.

In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and run like sparks through the stubble.
They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them forever.

Those who trust in him will understand and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones and he watches over them. Amen

Rest on our beloved mother.

When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be.
When we all see Jesus, will sing and shout the VICTORY.

While we walk the pilgrim pathway, clouds will overspread the sky
But when trav'ling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh.

Rest on our beloved mother. Daalu shinne nne anyi. Ije awele ma

Hello mum

March 31, 2023

Mrs. Omokoson,

LooL...my dear favorite Mrs. Omokoson nnem....oh how I miss you. Not a few days go by when I don't think about you. In the things you do, the things you say, your wisdom, kindness, strength of character and ability to forgive. I miss you my dear mother.

Your words and the excellent way that you do things have become my guiding light, when I'm just musing, or when I need to make decisions or just about anytime.

Indeed I hear your voice talking to me. I remember when you would say ''I'm repeating it so that when you are faced with ...(whatever you are referring to) you will hear my voice''. I often thought it was the 'teacher' in you but yes I heard your voice while you were here with us in human form and I still hear it now that you have gone to join your heavenly father. Yes indeed I hear it.

Like your said mummy ''All is well''
Sleep on at the bosom of our heavenly Father.
And Thank you for everything ma.

It’s almost Christmas

December 23, 2022

Mummy,
I can only trust God.
Many days have passed- too many days when I wished I could call and tell you things and hear your voice. How I wish I could exchange Christmas greetings with you. You are such a godly Mom - Christmas was always honored, and reverence for all things Biblical- like marriage, and family. You didn’t allow life challenges to dull family life and you worked hard to make sure others had it easier. Ezi Nne, your memory is blessed. I thank God for you.
Your life remains a Standard for me, and I pray to do well. I miss you, and rest in the confidence that God in His faithfulness is showing you mercy. Rest well my Mummy.
And I will do my best to celebrate Christmas with joy. I miss you.

We were like them that dreamed....

December 21, 2022

Hmmmm... Mrs Omokoson nnem, ino ofu ma nu? Chukwudi nwa Nnebuogo anyi ma na Chukwudi.....Chukwudi.......and HE lives.

We have reason to recall Psalm 126.....When God turned back the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dreamed and then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the heathen,
The LORD hath done great things for them........

Indeed the LORD has done great things for us, whereof we are glad.

Daalu mommy, Daalu shinne nnem, daalu ma.

Mummy mummy

November 16, 2022

Good day my dear mother.

How are you. It's still surprising to think that you have gone. It still seems unbelievable even after one year.

I want to remain stoic but its so hard to remain so. I miss you very much but I remain thankful for all the times and things we shared. I wish you could still share in the events of our lives - the highs and lows. And the ones that only you would understand.

Well what can I say. I trust you are happy there and wish you joy and happiness always my dear mother.

All Souls Day

November 2, 2022

Mummisco, Mrs Omokoson,

Happy all souls day nne anyi. It's still strange thinking that you are not physically here anymore. That we can not share those special moments, those thoughts, joys and just about everything in the safe knowledge that you would understand and meet our storires with wisdom and joy.

May your beautiful soul and the souls of all the faithful departed tgrough the mercy of God rest in peace, Amen.

Nnodu ofuma ezigbo nne anyi.
Love Always

Hello

August 14, 2022

My dear mother, just to drop a prayer and wish you well as I know you would be wishing all of us. We often think of you and we are extremely grateful for all the life lessons you thought us and the love you didn't hesitate to share even in the most trying times.

Everyday I learn more of the sacrifices you had to make and the courage to continue to be the best you. Wow what a mother, what a woman, what a human being. I doff my hat for you always.

Continue to rest in heavenly places with our Lord & Saviour ezigbo nnem. Daalu shinne nnem daalu.

March 24, 2022

Hello Mum,

Continue to rest in the peace of the Almighty God. May His perpetual light continue to shine upon you dear mother. May your soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace Amen.

Hmmm my mother.......all is well.

Mummy it was just Christmas

December 30, 2021

My dear mother, I've been wanting to write and finding it hard to write the things I want to say to you and now it's a Christmas without you.... so tough.

I recall the joy, the love, the activities, so many calls, so many things even when we were far away, you made the activities come alive and included us. So it was just Christmas this time and you were not there.
The only consolation we have is our faith that it is better, more peaceful, everlasting rest and endless joy where you are. It's certainly not the same without you here.

We will always remember, we will always remember our indifatigable, loving and kind mother. Mummy nno du ofuma na ani eze chukwu until we meet to part no more.

Love Always,
Nneamaka

Goodbye Aunty Theresa

May 14, 2021

I still do not yet believe you are gone. I am reluctant to write, as it still feels like you are only a phone call away. Especially after talking with you only just three days before your departure. You left the impression that you were getting better. I know that is not your fault, you simply answered the call of nature.

I bid you farewell. May all the Vairagi Adepts and all the Angels guide your soul as you journey into the spirit world. Please give a special hello to all the departed souls of the family, especially my dad. You will be missed dearly. We will miss your diligence in the family commitments, your firm personality, your honesty, your elegance, and your sense of fashion.

Aunty, my children will also miss you. I could not stop them crying when they heard about your departure. Especially my baby that calls you Aunty “Omokoos”. They brought out all the pictures you took with them during your visit to us. Their dream of visiting you at Asaba for our oncoming trip was shattered. They missed your stories, the dancing, educational encouragement, and the enduring spirit of resilience and persistence (of never taking no for an answer). Aunty, I still feel your presence around me, and I decided to put that feeling into the modified version of Megan Stokes’s Poem.

My Aunt Is Yet to Be Gone
I thought I saw her face today
In the dazzling morning sun.
And then I heard the Master saying,
“Her work on earth has finished”

I thought I heard her voice today
Complaining of pains on the legs
And then I heard the Master saying,
“There’s peace, subtle one, at last.”

I thought I felt her touch today
In the breeze that rushes by.
And then I heard the Master saying,
“The spirit never dies”

I thought that she had left me
Into the heavenly bodies far within.
And then I heard the Master saying
“She left you with her love”

I thought that I would miss her
And never find a glimpse of her.
And then I heard the Master saying,
“She’s with you every day.”

Aunty, I hope you know
You will be missed a lot
You were loved by so many
You’ll never be forgotten.

Tribute to a wonderful Aunty

On Behalf of Late Ogbueshi Ikem Okolo (Police) Family

As I sat in the quietness of my soul to write this tribute of a great woman, it seemed so unreal as her passing to glory was sudden. Ever shinning and smiling. Mama was an ‘Angelic Warrior’ who stood with everyone that came crossed her path.

She was a kindhearted gracious woman who was extremely hardworking and very intelligent and everything she did was leaving a legacy. She gave all the necessary support during and after my father’s burial. She was committed to God. Beautiful amazing mama. Lovely inside and outside. We will forever miss you as you rest in the Lord.

Thank you for all your love and sacrifice. Sleep well Mama!

From Semira

This came all so sudden. Death never prepares one so you can brace up. But we submit to the will of God knowing that you have gone to rest in his bosom where you will be and keep interceding for the good of your children.

You were a mother to me. You opened your arms and home to me at a very crucial time in my life as a teenager trying to get an education and spiritual direction. I will forever be grateful for your assistance in making sure I had a space to stay, Feed and grow spiritually. You were instrumental to my being a practicing catholic and also in making my grades at WAEC. You also gave me a sister when you allowed me into your home in Ada. We’ve been so close and our families have remained close ever since. Thank you ma for your love, care and kindness to a stranger then. May the good Lord reward and receive you with his wide arms and give you eternal rest ma. You are deeply loved, cherished and will be greatly missed.

Good night Ma. May your soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in perfect peace amen.

*EULOGY TO EZINNE THERESA C. OMOKO (Nnem OMOKO)

May 14, 2021

From Uchay Onwumah
==============

Putting this piece together is so difficult and painful, indeed a good heart has stopped beating!
Today, l say goodbye to an icon, a great woman, a woman of many accomplishments and accolades, a woman who left gigantic footprints and indelible marks in many lives who were privileged to have encountered her in the course of life.

Nnem Omoko, olinni malii onye onaguu, nwanyi obioma, omeogoo......
Nnem Ada Obi Ugbe akaego, nwa Onaje ekeoma ebu ukwuu....
Nnem achalla ugo nwa agueze agu ebuonu, nwa agu buluu naifee olia na nnizizoo,
nwanne malii nwanne....

It is noteworthy to mention that Mummy loved without boundaries, gave without counting costs or returns and had good words that drove away fears in every situation. Her exemplary life and excellence robbed-off on most of us that she drew close to herself. Firm but loving, a disciplinarian with a heart of gold...Mummy was amiable and friendly. And always had a smile and kind words for everyone. Am honoured to have had you as an aunt, a mentor and motivator, nnem Omoko, nwanyi omaa....

A woman of brilliance, with great dedication to duty, personal integrity and commitment to excellence. Nnem, you have gone to be with your Creator, I will miss you, but I will live with the good memories. Ebube is missing her grandmother so badly, wishing she saw you before you joined the saints on high. Your legacy lives on. Go well. May God bless you and may your soul rest in peace. Amen...

Auntim, CHUKWUDI, hmmmmm, The planner

May 14, 2021

From Cordelia Barber

Auntim, CHUKWUDI, hmmmmm, the planner, who fights our battles. I remember years gone by when you travelled all the way to Warri to fight for my course. My aunt, the family planner, always calling on Umu Nnebuogo to puta nnu ka anyi tuu ego mee pu ife nkea

My aunt CHUKWUDI, who will not fail to tell you her mind concerning any issue and makes her stand clearly understood. My aunt, a good story rapper, always a pleasure to sit and chat with her, recalling and recounting past happy moments

Auntie eji eje nmba,

My aunt, who will call to inform you of any good medication and diet that she discovered and tried. My aunt CHUKWUDI, that I fight with and say to her, auntie, nma kpozi uzo, hapu m , but she calls to say yalibaa

We call her auntie / mummy depending on the occasion at hand. I was looking forward to this August birthday celebration, but alas, God had His own plan. You lived a happy, fulfilling, retirement life to the Glory of God. My siblings and I have been talking endlessly about our different experiences with you. Happy to have interacted with such a blood aunt

Sleep and rest on CHUKWUDI, nwa Nnebuogo Ononye, nwuye Ogbueshi Onwuamaeze Omoko

God bless the family you have left behind. It is well. Lahu ofuma naa nke Chukwu

Thank you, grandma and continue to rest in peace. Amen.

Ogbueshi & Mrs Tony Anyameluhor

The news of your death came to us as a great shock not because every one of us will not die but because you were very healthy during our last visit to you. You were a great pillar to your family. The vacuum created by your death will be difficult to fill. You were a kind hearted woman and a great lover of your home town, Asaba. On many occasions we visited, you had always expressed your pleasure in connecting Asaba indigenes to know themselves.

Those who have related with you will take solace in the fact that you have touched so many lives in different ways. You had been a good companion to your husband, Diokpa Omoko as we always met both of you telling stories whenever we visited. Be that as it may, we cannot question God- the giver and taker of life. We pray that the Almighty God will comfort and console her husband, children' grandchildren and other relations she left behind.

Rest In Peace, Great Woman and a great lover of Asaba.

Ogbueshi & Mrs Tony Anyameluhor

Tribute To My Dearest Auntie Mi .............

May 13, 2021

A wise Woman once told me that what we have once enjoyed, we can never lose and all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
I just cannot bring myself to write this tribute to my Auntie Mi, for her death came as a rude shock , for it took me so long to digest and bring myself to write this tribute and refer to her as gone!!!!!, what a life ............?

I will cherish the lovely memories we made together and carry then in my heart forever. Especially years back, whenever she comes to Lagos and would stay with me, after close of work, we would jest and talk about everything, l mean everything!!!!!!!!! until quite late before going to bed, l actually looked forward to her visiting!!!!.

Auntie Mi represents the old and the young, she was full of life, very fashionable, jovial and no Nonsense person ( which I took after her).....
Auntie Mi was a woman with large heart, a giver and a lover of people mostly when you are closer to her, a very loving mother, wife, sister and Aunt.
Ever a legend, a pacesetter, a practical teacher and a good Mentor. Auntie Mi was truly a virtuous woman...........
Really this world is not our own according to Jim Reeves,!!!

Auntie MI, Auntie T, am such you would meet Nne, your mother and our grandmother with your siblings who had gone before you, do not forget to update them about each and everyone of us. Greet then for us and May Almighty God grant you and all the faithful departed eternal rest......
Rest on till we meet to part no more!!
.

Good Times spent with Aunty

May 13, 2021

Aunty was always so thoughtful. I remember when I was newly qualified as a staff nurse and searching for a place to live and aunty accommodated for few months in their house. We lived together as family. I remember all our talks and laughs even years after we all move back to Asaba this continued.
She really will be missed greatly.
May her soul Rest in Peace.
Love Patty Damasus.

A Loving Mother

May 13, 2021

You were always very caring, very thoughtful and loving. We miss you a lot ma. May your soul rest in peace

My Adorable Grandmother

May 11, 2021

Dear Grandma,

You are a most amazing and kind grandmother that everyone should have in their life. We have been so blessed and thankful to God for placing someone like you in our lives to encourage, nurture us to becoming the best versions of ourselves. I recall your regular presence during school visits. You corrected us when we were wrong but also made sure we had everything we needed. You taught us so many things like how to pay attention and listen, how to enjoy nature, be selfless, be courageous and live a good Christian life. Looking back, I believe we all imbibed a lot of the things your teachings and there would be our guiding light. You always told us to stand up for what we believe is right” with courage.

Grandma, its tough to know that you gone but we take comfort knowing you are in a better place. You were loved by many for your authenticity and we surely miss you. May the good Lord welcome you into his loving embrace.

Love Always

George

My Loving Caring and Courageous Mother

May 11, 2021

From Nonso Omoko

Loving, Caring and Courageous. These are the words that come to my mind every time I think of you, for God bestowed you with these in good measure, and you used them well to His Glory and benefit of mankind.

You taught me love. To love and not to hate, nor be resentful, but to see the good in all things and people first. To be kind and to be patient, to forgive and be interested in the progress of my fellow man. I will remember.

You taught me Care. To be interested in the wellbeing and welfare of others. To provide for the less privileged and to be just and fair to all concerned. 'Defender of the universe' I often called you. You embraced everyone first, then found out later, sometimes at the cost of betrayals, but it never changed you, for you were just you. I will remember.

You taught me Courage. To confront the bully in my primary one class, or to deal with the challenges in my adult life. “The worst they can tell you is no", "they will not kill you", "they cannot kill you" were some of the battle cries you taught me, and they have served me well. They have done me well.

You are the most courageous woman I know. You saw no obstacles. Nothing could stop you. Again and again I watched you set your ambitions and simply pushed through against the odds with God's help. You were a strong woman, an Amazon, protective and beautiful in spirit, soul and body. I salute you.

I will remember you fondly mum. The quintessential Teacher, I will remember your words of wisdom. Go well my beloved mum for God has prepared a better place for you. Rest in perfect peace until we meet to part no more.

Thank you for being my mother.

Nonso Omoko

Dear Mummy

May 11, 2021

From Jaros Omoko

I didn't know I would have to write such a tribute so soon. The news of your death came so suddenly and with so much pain. You were so much more than a mother in-law to me. You took me as your own daughter from the very first day we met. You were always so kind and loving to me. You were so fond of your grand kids and they too of their grandmother in Asaba.. That's why it was so difficult breaking the news to them. You were always sending us fish, garri and lots of other gifts.

Mummy you were an inspiration to me in so many ways, despite your age you always loved to dress well and look good. You loved to give and help people around you. The realization of your death dawns on me more and more each passing day but I'm consoled in the fact that you lived a good Christian live and thus you are resting with our Lord Jesus Christ till we meet to part no more.

Rest in peace mummy. Your memory and your good works live on.

Jaros Omoko

May 11, 2021

TRIBUTE TO OUR DEAR MUMMY.
Words fails me to express my grief on your sudden demise. You were an exceptional Mother to all, kind, loving, an adviser and a great teacher. You showed loved to everyone you came across. Your joy and selflessness I would never forget. I know your in a better place where there's no sorrow, suffering or pain. Continue to Rest in the Bosom of the Almighty till we meet to part no more.
Mrs Ekwi. V. Nwanze.

Tribute to my mother Theresa Chukwudi Omoko

May 10, 2021

Dear mom, the news of your transition to glory came to me so suddenly! I never thought it will be this early.. I flashed back immidiately to the first day I met you. Such a loving and caring mom.You showed me how to do things in a better way. You took very good care of me when God blessed us with your birthday gift (as you call our first daughther Chukwudi). You adopted me as one of your favourite daughters. You correct me with left hand and draw me even much closer to you with your right hand. Mummy you were the best mother any one could wish for. You were full of strength and energy to meet the needs of your children and grand children.
All your words of advice to me lives on and I will never forget all your care and love for us.
Rest in peace mom! It is well with your soul.

To my Lovely Grandmother

May 10, 2021

Dear Grandma, I will always remember your love towards my brother's and I. How you would call from time to time to check up on us. How you would call my mum and tell her you've sent us fish and some clothes. I will always remember how we'd call each other on our birthdays. Now every year, a day before my birthday I won't have who to call anymore...
The news was really shocking because I still talked to you before going to school. I know you're in a better place now but I really wished you didn't leave so early. Grandma you are and will forever be loved always ❤️. May your soul rest in the everlasting hands of God.
Your loving granddaughter and namesake, Omoko Chukwudi Abimbola

A TRIBUTE TO MY GRANDMOTHER

May 10, 2021

I know this great woman as ‘Grandmother’ who always took care of us and doted on us. Grandma you always had a way of making someone feel very special.

You were a coach, a good mother and grandmother; a role model, who pampered but never over-indulged us. To say we shall miss you greatly is stating the obvious. We shall indeed miss you; rest in peace grandma.

May perpetual light shine on you.

Jordon Alvin-Oduah

May 10, 2021

To My Dearest Grandma, Theresa Chukwudi Omoko (Nee Ononye) known to me as grandma was my mentor, my sister, my friend, mother and grandmother. When I was younger, I would get really excited on being told we would go visiting you and even now I was always looking forward to a visit.

Grandma, the news of your passing-on greatly upset me. It is painful being told you will never see someone you love ever again in this side of eternity. Grandma, I seek comfort that you are in a better place resting in the Lord’s bosom.

Adieu Grandma, you will be forever remembered. Goodbye and rest in peace Grandma. Amen.

Your Granddaughter

A TRIBUTE TO MY MOTHER IN-LAW

May 10, 2021

From Francis Alvin Ngozi Oduah

My first encounter with you was in 2003. I can never forget how hospitable you were. I went on to marry your daughter Tobechukwu and the hospitality increased as the children came along.

You were always concerned about one's well-being and always proffered advise concerning the children and their upbringing. You doted on your numerous grandchildren and always had one activity or the other to keep them excited and happy. The fact that they always wanted to visit you is a testimony of their fondness of you.

You were considerate and generous. I am a witness to the numerous contributions to charity organisations, orphanages, helping hands to individuals and indigent students by you and Grandfather. You were a devout catholic and a member of various Christian and philanthropic organisations.

It is very upsetting when someone close passes on. We never envisaged you would pass on so soon. However, we seek solace in the belief that you are in a better place.

Rest in peace Grandma. We shall sorely miss you.

Francis Alvin Ngozi Oduah.

A TRIBUTE TO MY INDIFATIGUABLE MUM!

May 10, 2021

From Tobechukwu Alvin-Oduah

Mummy,

Tongues cannot express what you mean to me neither can words explain the void your absence has created. Getting myself to write this has been one of the most difficult things I've had to do. But with total gratitude to God for your beautiful life I write this tribute.

You were an exceptional Mum in every sense if the word. Your loving, courageous, considerate, peace loving heart endeared you to everyone. You stood solidly behind all your children, grandchildren, siblings, in-laws, relatives and a whole lot of others who call you "Mummy".

I have always dreaded a life without you and now; my nightmare has become reality. Life can never be the same again but am consoled by the fact that you've gone to a better place where there's no sickness nor pain. I cry when I remember you are no more; I miss you more and more each passing day.

Thank you for being you; thank you for your selflessness; your dedication to our Dad and us and to everyone else.

Thank you for being my MUM.

Aka Ego Nwa Isamah! Nwa ifeyili nwoke, nwanyi a topu na nbo!! Olinni malia onye onagu!!! Nwa Obi Ugbe!!! Kene weioooo, yali waooo, ekene kwene ndi si na uzo eluho weioooo.

May the Almighty father bless your path as you journey home, may perpetual light shine upon you. Amen

Farewell my indefatigable Mummy!!!

Aunty miii, Mummy dearest, words fail me as I never anticipated that you will leave us so soon and so quick but we must give Glory to Almighty God for your life and for the numerous hearts you touched.

I recall the first time that I met you - what an impression you made, vibrant, social, kind, welcoming, loving - the list is endless. You loved not only your family but anyone who came across your path. Generously giving to anyone less fortunate. You will be greatly missed.

You took over the role of mother to us the Okwuobi girls when our mum passed and maintained that role with love till now. Mummy, what can I say- my heart is so sad that I didn't even get to see you one last time. I recall the time we came for our mum's funeral; you took all our kids to your house for the duration of the funeral in other to give us space to focus on the task at hand. You washed them, fed them, clothe them and brought them to the family compound when they were needed. That is the kind of selfless mother you are to all.

Just a couple of years ago, I called you in panic to help us commission our school alumni (AGGS Zonal chapter) Akwa ocha ensemble for our maiden fundraising launch - you delivered the most classy and sophisticated sets for all the girls in the shortest timeframe deadline.

Mama, you will be greatly missed but God knows best. I will most definitely miss the daily prayers you send to me, the music you share with me and the encouragement you give me when I feel overwhelmed.

Rest in peace perfect peace mummy dearest. One consolation we have are the memories you gave us. Until we meet to part no more. Kachifo nneoma. Asa mama.

Farewell Nan Omoko

May 9, 2021

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we do this tribute and farewell message Nan. You are one of the greatest granny any child would hope for. We are consoled by the fact that you were a part of our growth and left your imprint in our lives.

You are a disciplinarian, an educator, guardian, great cook but most important of all, a most loving Nan. You showed holistic love - there's no other like you - able to balance love and discipline. You discipline us on one hand when we misbehave, and in the same breath, draw us into your chest with the other hand of love where you explain the errors we have done with advise not to do it again.

At all times, you remain steadfast to the love of family, extended family and even acquaintances. From looking after us every time we visit Asaba, to cooking up a storm for us when we visit, you will forever remain in our hearts. Goodnight grandma, rest in peace perfect peace with Our Lord. The teachings you left with us will be a remainder of your legacy with us forever.

In Loving Memory of a woman with a heart of gold-Mother Theresa of our time

May 9, 2021

Dear grandmother Omoko, the news of your demise was one of the rudest shocks I have ever had. However, I was consoled knowing that you're the latest handmaid of Mother Mary in heaven.
Grandmother Omoko, your humility is inspirational. You were such a kind woman who never gave in small measure. Permit me to take you down memory lane grandmother. When I was preparing to get married 13 years ago, you took time to educate me on sex selection of our children. You gave me a book on family planning and by the grace of God the use of that book made all the difference.
When I had my first son, you brought me the biggest fish I have ever seen live. You never stopped advising me. It didn't matter where we met. You always dropped a word of advice for me to be a good wife and mother. I can hear your soft spoken voice(smiles)
I thank God for giving my family and I the opportunity to visit you on grandfather Omoko's birthday 2020. We came with neither silver nor gold, not even a bronze, but our hearts were filled with joy fulfilling a long time desire.
Dearest Grandmother Omoko, I and my family pray that God will continue to grant your loving heart eternal rest and let His perpetual light shine upon you through Christ our Lord Amen. Good night Ma as you continue to enjoy heavenly bliss. Adiu
Ijeoma Esogwa and family.

TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED MUMMY MUMMY!

May 9, 2021

From: Dcns Kaidi L. Okafo-Emedo.

My beloved Aunty and Mummy, Mummy, you loved me unconditionally. Family meant so much to you and whenever we had the opportunity to speak, you made sure I realized how close you were to my late Dad. You showed me love and drew me close to Idumugbe branch of my the family.

You taught me how to honour them in any event, you were most especially there to guide me during my late sister's death. You led me step by step through the hurdles. I could not believe the running around you did on my behalf, oh Mummy Mummy, you were really so unwavering in your support. You brushed off my numerous 'thank you ma' letting me know that it was your responsibility. You taught me the true meaning of humility with dignity!

My elegant Mummy Mummy and beloved Akudi ka, I still have my Orange Akwa ocha set. You brought them over for me from my cousin's wedding, even though I was unable to attend. You made sure I part took of the family Aso ebi, Nne m, dalu. You have always been there for me and with the wisdom you were instilling from behind, people just assumed that I knew so much more about our culture and traditions! I just walked tall and smiled. Nne m, oma, dalu ma.

I recall your stories of your close relationship and escapades with my Dad, to really express how close you both were, I just smiled as my Dad always did the very same. He so loved his maternal family and there was never a doubt about that. Our branch of the Okafos in Umuekwo, (where you incidentally came to marry) has always been known as Umu 'Okafo Isiego' in honour of the Matriarch of the family 'Isiego Ononye'!! You endeavored to teach me how to relate with my Idumugbe branch of the family. The appropriate ways of greetings and their songs! Mummy Mummy, I shall miss you dearly.

No matter the time I reached out to you, you were never one to reprimand me of the time lapse since our last chat. This is truly unconditional love. Your arms were always wide open to receive us. Dalu ma.

My late sister, Lady M, felt you loved her best, how you were always around to check on her, get her alkaline water, etc, I usually smiled saying that I am your favourite. The fact is, you had a way of making each one feel so special.

Just thinking that so many of you have gone ahead, you must all be having a special family meeting in a corner of Heaven, keep remembering us ever so fondly as I know you look down through the Heavenly portals to check on us. I realize that death is deadly but your soul is immortal and your memory remains Evergreen.

I will carry you lovingly in my heart my darling Mummy Mummy always and forever. Until we meet again in that Glorious Kingdom, Adieu beloved Mummy Mummy!

Adieu till we meet again!

It hurts quite badly to see you go home, Mommy Omoko. For us your family, it was rather too soon. But we are assured the Lord in his marvelous ways chose this a perfect time to rest your ever-busy and giving hands. We are consoled God guided you to lead a life in which you shared so much warmth, openness, joy, and selflessness. My family and I are witnesses to several of your virtues; and we benefitted bountifully from them. We won't forget how you easily lightened up every room you entered. Memories of you would forever remain sweet in our minds.
We trust God to welcome you into Heaven triumphantly; and to grant you smooth journey even as you fly home in the wings of the Angels. Rest in Peace, Mommy. Kachifo!

Hmmm
when I saw the chat of your passing, my stomach came to my mouth.
I met Aunty a couple of years back on a Soroptimist trip to Barbados and we hit it off, as much as the difference in age was and you and my mum equally hit it off and then you introduced me to your Ada and it’s been a beautiful relationship though we don’t get to see as often.
Your smiles, your calm nature, you appreciated my carrying your bags, you teased.
May your soul Rest In Peace Aunty and May all you’ve left behind be comforted.

May 8, 2021

Nnem Omalicha, my adviser, omalobi Nnam for years. Who else will I call for true advice. Death why, why!! Nne not even a word before you left. Oh! oh!

May your soul rest in peace. Amen
Omalicha nnem, ogonogo dimkpa, rest in peace. Amen.

Akudikam, the news of your demise came as a great shock, but you lived a fulfilled life. It is certainly a great loss to the Omoko's family and the vacuum you left is too big to be filled.

We cannot question God because we believe God knows the best.

Rest in peace.
