Modupe Iji

Rest in perfect my beloved 'iyale' - 'Iye Ko' as I fondly call you. You lived a life that's indeed worthy of emulation. We'll all miss your beautiful personality but our loss is indeed heaven's gain! We love you but God loves you most.

The news of your sudden demise came as a real shock and till now I still find it hard to believe you are gone..Your were soft spoken, gentle, beautiful and easy going aunt. Our consolation is that we know and believe you have gone to a better place, to join the heavenly voices in singing hossanah to the most high God. Sleep well aunty Dupe..

So sad you gone,I will surely miss you mum,you left in my month,that’s how unforgettable you are to me,love you forever mum.

Mom, the truth is we will miss you, and we will never get over it. It's so easy to remember your smiles, your counsels, the calming sound of your voice... Yet, in all, we know that you're at peace now. From time to time, reality will slap us in the face, and we will shake in disbelief, but I pray that we would not fall and we will not be too weary to see the possibility of a greater joy sometime soon, when we see again. If I could say one last thing to your face, I'll let you know that our love for you will keep you living inside our hearts for as long as we live. By God's grace, these are not my last words. We'll see again the day we all gather around our father in heaven. With love, Kemi, Sola, Tobi & Pelumi Soyele.

To my ever loving, caring, attention notice and prayer warrior. You've being a solid backbone to me in my course of life, right from my childhood. You carried me on your back for a year whem I had challenges with my foot, & i couldn't walk, you were really my guidian angel. I'll miss your "obe ata" marugbo soup. I'll miss your advices and graceful smiles. You really meant the world to me. I know you've gone to a better place, i pray may your soul continue to be guiding light as you've always being even in death. Love you mum.

It still sounds unreal, that Aunty Dupe has gone so soon. People say we look alike, l remember the first time in those days that l went to her secondary school, right at the gate even before l could ask of her, people were already asking me if l was there to see "Dupe" she is going to be missed. Rest in peace my beautiful Aunty.

We love u ma but God love u most. Rest in peace mama.
