"Gone Too Soon"
Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon
Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon
Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon
Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon
Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon
Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon
Gone Too Soon

Our dear Nnenne, how time flies, just like yesterday and its one year already. On Sunday 15 April 2018 at 8 am we were all gathered at your Congregation, Presbyterian Church Ikeja Parish at Ojodu, as usual, to commemorate your one year of transition and also mark your 56th birthday. The church was filled by many of your admirers. We have now found the strength to discuss your enduring legacies, we did that with bravado concealing our inner tears of joy of your memories.
The theme of the service was on shepherding, it reminds us of all your skills and efforts in shepherding the family while Nd was away. Yours was a gift from GOD, your demeanour and attitude to issues were disarming. You give loud and firm instructions with body language. Like the good shepherd, you don't rest until all your flock returns.
Nd, Gini & Seyi, Kelechi, Capt Joe(He read the Bible lesson) and Mama. Ngozi and OO your siblings were there. Ibom and Amasu people were everywhere to honour you.

We retired to your home for entertainment and stayed until late evening even with the shower of blessings.
I miss you so much and i love you
Mama graduated today also...nne mor mor I know you're smiling in heaven, by the way the okazi soup you made for me has finally finished loll...'like we used to say all the way charlie papa'
Though, to us, your job is not yet done here on earth; to Him, it is done, and it is time to call you home. We have no choice, but we take solace in the promise that He will comfort those you left behind in this our time of mourning. This time, this season, this period of sorrow and sadness will also pass.
Adieu!!
Who can answer my many questions?
On whose shoulder should I cry?
Nene: A symbol of peace is gone
Nene- Gentility is gone
Nene- Genorosity is gone
Nene- Love is gone
Dear God, you know why it all.
You know our deepest thought
I will Remember Nene forever . RIP Nnamdii
Udoh's wife.
RIP Ezigbo Ada Aro
RIP Nwanyi Obi Oma
I hope to find an answer to my questions some day.
I am finding it difficult to delete our last chats.
It's well
Sleep on dear Comrade
I am hopeful we shall meet at the resurrection
morning.
Adieu !!!
TRIBUTE TO AUNTY NENE
Aunty Nene, the news of your death ran shock waves down my spine. You were such an elegant woman, hospitable and adorable. You saw the best in everyone and opened your hands towards us even at odd hours. You showed our mother love and respect through all these years. Thank you for being an example to be emulated. You shall indeed be missed by all. No wonder they call you ”Big Mama”.
Rest in Peace ma, till we meet to part no more.
Dr (Mrs.) Uzoma Ifezue.(nee Udoh)
My dearest Ogbom,
My sweet sister in law, my ever gentle lady, my adorable wife, your demise came as a big shock and till now, still can't believe that you are gone. You were indeed an epitome of a virtuous woman, You were kind, a loving wife and mother. My happiness is that your Husband, Mazi Nnamdi Udoh loved and cared for you even till death. You embraced everyone who came around you with warmth, regardless of whom he or she was. You were too gentle to a fault and I admired you for that. I will miss you so much. May your gentle soul rest in peace and may God Almighty give those you left behind, especially your beloved husband and children the fortitude to hear this irreplaceable loss. It is well. You will surely be missed. Ga na Udoh Nwanyioma."

TRIBUTE TO MY VERY SENIOR FRIEND (NNEM UKWU).
Ah! Death is strong! else you wouldn't have left behind your family whom you had loved and cared for so much. For more than a decade now, you have also cared so well for your aged mother, while she resided with you. You brought up your children to speak fluently, their native language. That's a plus for you. You extend your hand to help the less privileged. That's another plus for you. Ah! For these acts of benevolence, responsibility and honour to your family and mankind, I pray that the Lord blesses your soul all the more in eternity. Nwanyi Obioma, you were at my traditional marriage, early in the morning to fill minor vacuum from being noticed. Again, you flew Lagos to Benin with your husband, to attend my wedding. You were to me a friend indeed. Recently, I visited and charted with you face to face at Ojodu Junior Grammar School. And the next I heard was the news heralding your death. It got me shocking to my bones. I knew you right from my youth and we have carried on till your demise. Ah! Even in death, I honour you. You always calls me, May, with your lovely sweet voice. Aunty, you were a peaceful woman, slow to speak and collected. I have never sighted you quarrelled with anyone openly, for you use to open your mouth in wisdom. You were very organized, hospitable and knew how to comport yourself always. You were humble and could manage the riches of a whole Estate without bragging about it. You were a silent achiever who worked with speed. I missed you. We missed you but God loved you the most. May your soul rest in the blossom of the Lord till we meet again to part no more. Adieu Elder (Mrs) Nene Udoh. Tribute from Mrs Mary Obasi Kalu.
My dear aunty...this whole thing came as a shock. I still can't deal with it, but I know you're in a better place...rest in peace

AUNTY NENE....SUDDEN TRANSITION
Death is no stranger, for I have witnessed a couple this year but now "death's" intrusion has appeared to claim a precious, kind lady - one I often referred to as " the Aunty without stress" a lively centurion whose faith never wavered, nor spirit ever aged, and the expressions of my grief and that of my family are extraordinarily out of proportion. This was the least news we expected to receive on Easter Monday when my wife and I called to chat with my parents and grand Pa.
We have wept and prayed and hoped that it was a dream but reality it is that we would seize to share bodily experience with you, aunty Nene.
She believed in the "open door" policy. I knew, as did countless others, that I could go at any time and be made to feel welcome. She approached life with ease and so much peace and willingly accepted all our joys and sorrows, successes and failures but with optimum hope for the best in every situation.
Aunty Nene would hardly hassle anyone who didn't keep in touch with her but at anytime would seek to know your well being. She filled every femininity from mother to valued friend with ease.
So, now, beloved aunt, and mother, I bid you a fond farewell for a short while, conscious of your faith in Christ, we would meet again. Joyful at your life, so fully and well-lived, grateful that I could have been a part of it.
Rest in Christ

HYMNS
WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER, ATTENDETH MY WAY
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain:
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IAM THINE , O LORD
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Refrain
Draw me nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
____________________________________________________
WHEN THE TRUMPET OF THE LORD SHALL SOUND
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of his resurrection share;
When his chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all his wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.

ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME
1
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and power.
2
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All could never sin erase,
Thou must save, and save by grace.
3
Nothing in my hands I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace:
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die.
4
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
