Tope, as we all call her,  was loving, caring, selfless, hardworking, funny, compassionate, affectionate, energetic , outgoing and can be a bit head strong sometimes but we love her for her uniqueness. She was beautiful on the inside and out. She touched a lot of people’s lives by always putting others before herself and showing compassion to everyone she came in contact with.

Our loving sister, friend, cousin, niece, aunty, to say that we miss you is a gross understatement. We will always carry you in our hearts and your legacy will never be forgotten. May your gentle soul rest in peace till we meet again. We love you so much but God loves you more.
