To a wonderful colleague and an awesome nurse;

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
and whispered, “Come to me.”
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
and saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

We miss you, Temitope.
Rest In Peace

The last time I saw Tope was on her birthday 3 months ago and we were hanging by the Faiella's pool. She had me in stitches, talking about randomness. My condolences go out to all of her family and friends. Be at peace now xx

Oh my sweet and brave warrior girl, dance through the stars and ride the wind! I am so happy we settled our differences few days before you were taken away. Molly is totally broken right now and it's funny how death make us understand what we truly mean to each other. I will never forget you. I love you, my beautiful cousin. You walked the path of life with me.

I already miss my sister whom I call Miss Polka so much words can't explain the pain and hurt I feel when I think of her and remember her with love and joy and then, the night mare of 09/18/13 comes to my mind. That’s when all the happiness of many of us disappeared and nothing will ever be the same.

I was hoping for a miracle to happen. I didn't agree you were gonna leave us, but eventually, you did. Now, I sit down alone knowing my sister is gone and I can't see her and talk about my day. I love you Tope and I will always do. I promise I will take care of mom and Tayo as you always did, whenever you came to Ft Lauderdale.

Dear Dan,

I can't imagine the pain you're feeling. I know Tope loved you so much and she was a hard fighter. She never wanted to hurt you and she wouldn't want you to feel so sad.

There's a Chinese proverb that says, "Life is a dream walking, death is going home". Tope's home now, gone to a better place where she won't be suffering or be in pain anymore. She's with her father and your Arthur and she'll be waiting until we join her.

Please accept my condolences

Tope was such a brave and charismatic girl. I always remember her never being scared, which was something that I so admired. She was so full of energy and her laugh was contagious. Not only was she beautiful on the outside, but so very gorgeous on the inside. I was so blessed to met her a few years ago. You will never be forgotten, darling. We all love you.

With Love
- Mackenzie and Justin

Our prayers for strength and comfort are with family and friends at this difficult time. I had the pleasure of meeting Tope six years ago, and she was always outgoing with a good sense of humor. Tope always had a way of touching the lives of others because of her caring spirit. May God bless us all.
Love, Alecia with Tyrone and Sean ❤

To my amazing friend,
Your courage and strength inspires me, your bravery leaves me awestruck.
Tope, you have changed my life, for the better. I strive to be as fearless as you. I am so incredibly lucky to have known you. Thank you for all the great memories, they'll stay with me forever.
I'll miss you. Until we meet again.
Love always, Rachel"

Loving Memories of you, our Sweet Pickle,
We will never forget.
Sadly missed along life's way,
With silent thought and deep regret.
We think of you every day.
No longer in our lives to share,
But in our hearts you're always there.
- Dave and Family

I've always admired you. You're so strong and brave, a role model in so many ways. Thank you darling, for teaching me, for being there when I needed you the most. I know we've had our differences and I'll be forever sorry. You were a great friend to me. I hope I was a good friend to you. I will miss our very many quarrels, and kisses and hugs and hang outs. Love you always. Al

I thank God that I had prior knowledge that you had short time and would eventually pass on. I am happy that I spent more time with you and we both knew exactly how we felt about each other. You came into my life for a reason and I am thankful and privileged to have received your final gift of a lingering smile and a deep kiss while you passed on. When we met barely 9 months, little did I know we would sow a very big seed together, and I promise I will make it grow into a very big tree.

I won't ever forget your final words to me with a big laughter and a victorious smile "When you're done getting all the girls here, I'd be waiting for you there".

I'm not ready to say goodbye to you. I know you told me not to cry, and to let you go, but I can't do that. Everything reminds me of you. I can still hear your voice few hours after you're gone. It 's drizzling right now, and I know it is your magic, your way of telling me that you're okay. Well then, come back here, and smile at me once more.

Tope brought so many happy moments in our life and left us with a treasure trove of memories. We will never be able to forget her. We are praying for you in this difficult time. May her soul rest in peace. Amen

Dear Dan,

A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on. Please accept my condolences and let me know if there is any way I might be of help, Tope will not be forgotten.

With love,

Dapo

Life is eternal, and love is immortal,
and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

You were the best medical personnel I have ever met. You took care of me much more than I could imagine and you gave me life again. God bless your soul, my sweet nurse.

Red Head, as you jokingly called me

To Tope's family and friends,

It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.
Our deepest sympathies,

Kazeem and family

Many the thoughts I give to you
As the long hours go by.
Thinking of the things we used to
do and say, just you and I.
Sometimes they make me smile
Sometimes they make me cry
But are precious to me alone
Memories of You and I.
I love you, darling Tope.
I will miss, your beautiful eyes and smile.
Rest now, love, until we meet again. - Javier

A precious one from us has gone.
A voice we love is still.
A place is vacant in our hearts
which no one else can fill.
After our lonely heartaches
and our silent tears,
We will always have beautiful memories
of the one we loved so dear.
Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy love employ.
The battle is fought, the victory won.
Enter thy Master’s joy.

Rest in Peace.

To the family of Tope, we send you our deepest sympathy and prayers. She was a wonderful lady, we will miss her very much!!!
- Fred and Stasha P"

Rest in solemnity and serenity, Pickle. You will never be forgotten.

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say
I know how much you loved me
As much as I loved you
And each time you think of me
I know I'll miss you too
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
And said my place was ready
In Heaven far above
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love
But when I walked through Heaven's gates
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His golden throne
He said, This is eternity
And all I've promised you
Today for life on Earth is past
But here it starts anew
I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past
So when tomorrow starts without me
Don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me
I'm right here in your heart.

I always smile when I think of Tope. Her passion, strength of character, and joy of life will inspire me always. She told me about her failing health 2 months ago, and she showed a wonderful sense of courage which is what keeps me going right now. I will miss her and am blessed having known her.
- Anna

Goodbye my wonderful niece. Thanks for being a friend to me whenever I needed someone to talk to. May the angels take care of you up in heaven. We love you deeply.

Thank you, T, for all the good times. We'll cherish those memories. I'm very lucky to have spent your final moments on earth with you. Rest in peace.
- Arewa

Tope, i'm so sorry for all the trouble i gave you. i just wanted to be like you. except i couldn't, no one can. your a great friend and i love you lots. i cant imagine a life without you. i'm totally broken down in tears right now, and hoping someone tells me it's all a joke. rip

The blow was hard, the shock severe;
We never dreamed your death so near.
But only those who love can tell
The pain of parting without farewell.
God give us strength to face this blow,
What it meant losing you, no one will know.
To hear your voice, to see your smile,
To sit and talk with you awhile;
To be together in the same old way
Would be our dearest wish today.
But loving memories never die
As years roll on and days go by;
In our hearts a memory is kept
Of the one we love and will never forget.

RIP, our baby....
