My lovely grandma from Afar.

From the moment I stepped into your room on that faithful day to assist with care,u didn't want to eat but after speaking with you, you asked me to give you something to drink and eat,I was forced to give u a little bit of my food which was against the policy of the facility but that was how it all started, every day became a blessing and a healing process to your health, until you were discharged to go home,I never knew you were going to leave so soon , I regret to say that I wish, I knew  I would have written you a letter to give to my son who passed on to glory on the 19th of February, 2014...grandma,pls I beg of you to continue to extend your love to my son Godwin Ayogu, I miss u both. Loving you was unconditional ❤️ ❤️ ❤️.

Not a day goes by that I don’t think about or miss you .  I miss all the times I used to make you laugh and get on your nerves by telling you all the crazy , silly ,and bizarre things I’m going to do or want to do. You would say it all the time , me and you are alike.   I’ll never forget the times you would Cook bacon for Max and say we couldn’t have any .  I’ll never forget the first , time you got to ride in my Red Ford Mustang in 15’. I took you to the bank and  to run a few errands . I took you to my first job and my favorite boss told you to remind me to let you use my discount for you . You got a kick out of that .  All of the good meals you use to make and us eating Chinese food from Stanley’s other place after the memorial or just because.  So many good times , laughs and memories . Until we see each other another again - I love you forever and always and even after that

I’m going to miss the times I would just swing by & we would just talk. She would share stories w/ me about Grandad & how we both worked in the Union. She would always say “I know what really goes on in there.” We would laugh & she would tell me stories (most I won’t share). It was a bonding experience that will forever be a part of my memories. Love you Grandma Always
 Your grandson Mic 

More than a Grandma

April 5, 2021
There is so much I miss about my beloved grandma and there are too many memories to share. She was literally my spiritual right hand (until she had to share me once I got married). She is the reason I refer to myself as "Timotheah", since her and my mom taught me about Jehovah. My grandma studied with me from the Knowledge book every Thursday.

Many of my memories with her include being at her house in the summer time, often on the weekends too, which earned me my nickname in high school "Grandma Leah." My fondest memories though include the spiritual activities we enjoyed together. Grandma and I traveled to the conventions in Toledo, Ohio together, the assemblies in Belleville, Michigan, field service, and the meetings at various kingdom halls. We spent time picking outfits for these activities, and grandma even had her hair stylist come to her home to do her hair (I was the manicurist for her for all special events). I am so happy she got to witness the two most important events of my life: my baptism in 2004 and my wedding in 2017. 

When she wakes up in the resurrection, I look forward to 1) working along with her in perfection in the great teaching work, and 2) enjoying homemade oatmeal raisin cookies with her (her favorite). I am so thankful to Jehovah for the assured hope to see her again in perfect health.

I miss her!
Our relationship was very much unlike most mother and Son- in law relationships. In fact, we often affirmed how because of our love and respect for each other, because we shared the love of visiting talking with each other about our family, religion, the Bible and of course about God, because we loved making each other laugh at each other and laugh at ourselves, we were not, so much like “In-laws” we would insist. 
I miss hearing “Bellma Louise”(what one of the babies called her-and later she let me call her) full throat and stomach laugh as she called me “a fool man!” when we were in the car and (to hear her laugh) I would sit close to and grip the steering wheel tight pretending to be a100 year old man afraid of driving. “...Deborah, look at that FOOL MAN” she would say. 
I Love you and miss you Mother Velma Louise Henderson.
