Mama, Jesus took you home at a time none of us was prepared for your departure. God Himself had prepared you and you felt it. But because we saw you full of life and in good health, we failed to see it coming. We took your little little comments for granted. But, this our God loves you more than we your loved ones could claim to have loved you.
Mama, you touched lives! When you love, you love completely, without reservations.
How can I forget those things we have done together. I became your 'adopted' sister. My children refer to you as my elder sister. You watched out for me and my family. Whenever I undertake a trip by road, I looked forward to receiving your calls at regular intervals asking "nibo le de". My reaction to those calls was "Mama the Monitor". The children have been asking me who will check on them whenever I travel. This is one of the beautiful roles you played in my family. You are simply irreplaceable!
You took interest in every young person you come across, especially if they are still single. You are always looking for ways and means of getting them "settled", sometimes taking up the role of a matchmaker. The unemployed youths are not left out. You link them up with people that can help them.
Abiyamo ni tooto! I have watched you fret over your children and grandchildren. You practically lived for them since you became father and mother to them at an early age.
I will miss your 1st day of the month phone calls loaded with prayer and blessings.
When I joined the local assembly where you worshipped, you will only settle down after you have seen me in the church. If I failed to turn up within a reasonable period, you will step out of church to place a call.
Your encouragement to attend church programmes is matchless. I received strength to attend programmes because you encouraged me. We became a tag team for church events. Both of us became accustomed to people asking "where is Iya Okon or where is Olori". We practically dragged each other around for events and programmes.
Life will definitely not be the same again without You, and to say that I will miss you is an understatement. Mama, you are deeply loved and appreciated.
Continue to sleep in the bossom of you Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
