I wish a tribute is not the only thing to describe all the amazing things you did and who you represent as a person. You were truly an inspiration to not only me but to the many who came in contact with you. No doubts that your many accomplishments speaks for themselves. Thank you for the lovely women you raised and thank you for always encouraging me in my medical path. It's no doubt you have left us with a with a huge vacuum, one that won't be easy to fill because of how amazing you are. I really miss you and I know God doesn't do us bad because I am sure we would meet again by and by. I love and I miss you dear Aunty. Ruth

Saying "words fail me" on what to say would sound like a cliche but this is how I truly feel at this moment.
Thank you for EVERYTHING dear aunty. It truly hurts to have heard of your demise but I am assured I will be greatly comforted because of all you did and represented to us and to all those who came in contact with you.

My dearest Sister in-law Yemisi,

I have no words to express my sorrow and your sudden passing away. It was saddening for me that your departed this planet Earth on Friday 19th March 2021. You had poured out your services to humanity and to various people in the world especially Nigeria, Britain and the Diaspora.

Your memory and legacy will remain forever. Surely you are in the bosom of the Lord where there is no pain, agony, anger, darkness and fear but praising God with the Angels and the Saints.

We shall meet again. Rest in perfect peace. Amen

Dear sister, very difficult to write your tribute. Maybe when I wake up from my dream. I don’t have the words now to put it together but you have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith.
Sleep well at the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ till we see to part no more!
Adieu!

To my most precious nana,
I remember all the great times we have had together from the times at my home and visiting you and on the phone. I will miss you but I know that you believed in me and in my family. As it says in the bible, with God all things are possible and you aways say to stay positive and never be negative. You were like a bag full of love and compassion. You were always so generous. You persevered and never gave up! I will always dream about you.

Love from Khloè

My heart hurts so much I feel like it’s been broke out of my body. I never truly understood life is not fair until now. I don’t want to get used to pain. I feel like I’ve had too much, more than a fair share portion of pain.

People tell me not to question God but I do every day why my mother? My daughters grandma?why when my sisters are still young? why why why? My mum was a good person a very good person she did good for so many people and they said they prayed for her and I prayed and fasted, my daughter prayed and fasted. I just don’t understand. Why were our prayers not answered.

I am angry I am numb and I am in so much pain I have no words to justify how I feel. I refuse to think of my mother in past tense. I refuse to accept that I won’t see you anymore.

We will not be able to cook smoked turkey in my kitchen together as we sit there gist over Bailey whilst you tell me to add more onions plus Maggie and make sure that turkey is grilled very crispy.

I will never be able to visit you and you will make me the best pounded yam because no one made it better than you , you made the best ever.

Everyday I pray and cry to God to please bring my mother back. I’m not ready to let you go. If cancer had a fee I will sell all I have and borrow more to bring you back. Khloè’s heart is broken into a million pieces. How does she understand that she will never hug her nana again or you won’t be making her hot chocolate for bed or she won’t be reading her bible to you every night.

The last photo I took of you and Khloè was just the day before you passed away as she hugged you that morning before she left for school. This pain is too much to bear. Why God why? Please return my mother to me because I refuse to let you go. If Lazarus can be raised from the dead, surely my mother can come back.

We both loved fashion and travelling. You are the birth mother of my brand EldimaaFashion. You organised my very first fashion show at Nigerian high commission in London. You supported me at my fashion show in New York, Paris, the Netherlands, Los Angeles and many more.

You modelled for me, always shared my business on social media and always looked after Khloè so I can follow my dreams.

To say you’re the best grandma is an understatement. “glam-ma” like I called you because you truly were the most glamorous grandma I know.

All my friends knew you as the best auntie. Always there to gist with them. I always felt I could be honest with you in ways other people my generation cannot be with their parents.

What I took for granted the most is what I’m going to miss dearly. Your phone calls every single day at 6 pm without fail every single day. Even when we had disagreements- you will still call and say “I want to speak with my granddaughter”, you would ask her how her day was in school, what she learnt and what she ate.

I am not ready to do life without you. If there was a pill to bring you back and lose all my material possessions, God knows I will bring you back, just to watch Khloè graduate from medical school like we discussed, to watch my sisters get married, to be there during their labour like you was for me giving the best massages money cannot buy. Oh mum, I don’t even know the so many ways I’m going to miss you yet.

I always thought you were so cool, I was inspired by the way you followed your dream, traveled the world, lived life to the fullest and served God. You  really fulfilled your destiny on earth with all the hundreds possibly thousands of people touched.

Your legacy will never die and we will be launching the Yemstars Foundation to immortal the good work our Father in heaven blessed you with. Just like Jesus’s name and good work followed him years after his last appearance on earth, I pray the Yemstars foundation is able to positively impact people’s lives like you did when you were on earth.

Mum I love you beyond depths and words.

Her Life

Life and Legacy 
Chief Mrs Yemisi Agunbiade - Sanusi was born in Nigeria on the 29th September, 1955 to Christian professional middle class parents. Her grandparents were Christian evangelists who built ‘Agunbiade Christ Anglican Church’ and a primary School in Abeokuta and Ibadan, Ogun State, Nigeria. Yemisi and her siblings (one brother and four sisters) are successful and well-accomplished professionals who are contributing to the global economy in the following fields: medical, banking, police and government and entrepreneurship. Our father was Chief Cornelius Segun Agunbiade, a retired Trade Union leader and The Baba - Ijo of Agunbiade Anglican Church. Our mother was Chief Dorcas Oladoja Agunbiade, an accomplished midwife and the Iya - Abiye of Fiditi, Oyo State Nigeria. Both of them are now deceased but were excellent achievers in their own rights, whom set an excellent  foundation for Yemisi and her siblings. 
 
 
Yemisi trained and qualified as a Psychiatric Nurse from the Federal School of Nursing; a WHO Centre of Excellence at Aro hospital in Abeokuta, Nigeria in 1977. Yemisi continued her training as a social worker at the prestigious University of Lagos, Nigeria. After graduating from the University of Lagos, Yemisi proceeded to pursue a Postgraduate Diploma course at the University of Manchester and on completion of this course; she further her studies to a Master’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Kent in Canterbury in 1984. 
 
On her return to her beloved home country, Nigeria, Yemisi pioneered the psychiatric social services at the Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Abeokuta. She was promoted as the first Chief Psychiatric Social Worker and served meritoriously for 23 years before she migrated to work for the National Health Service (NHS) in England in 1997. Prior to her migration to the United Kingdom, Yemisi served as the first African woman appointed as the Vice President for the World Federation of Mental Health (a United Nation's accredited agency). She has  travelled widely to virtually all continents in the world promoting mental health matters at world congresses in Mexico (1991), Japan (1993), Ireland (1985), Egypt (1987), USA (2006) to name a few. Yemisi was also a wonderful wife to her late husband, Chief A R O Sanusi, who she fondly always spoke about with wonderful memories and affection.
 
After fulfilling her dreams of helping people with mental health and helping to de-stigmatise the issues, Yemisi took early voluntary retirement from the NHS in 2012. Yemisi was a proud mother of three British trained graduates; Lizzie - a Senior IT consultant and CEO of Eldimaa Fashion,  Diana - an international artist based in Stockholm, Sweden, and Meg - an educator. She was also blessed with a brilliant granddaughter, Khloe. Despite widowhood, God sustained Yemisi to bring up all her precious daughters successfully.
