My heart is so broken because I remember the last time I spoke with you thru Gloria's fone, you really cracked me up, even when I didn't understand U well, but I enjoyed every time I spoke with u. Hearing about Ur demise really hurt me so much. It really hurt me. I wonder and fear how Gloria is taking it, because you were her best friend. Thanks for all you prayers everytime I spoke with you. Rest in peace

Even though we never met, It felt like I have known you forever. I've seen you in your daughter Gloria. You were God's gift to us. Iya Gloria, rest in the bosom of our lord until we will met on the resurrection morning .

Words fail me at the moment. All I can say is, it is well. I will miss your opening statement whenever I call..... ‘Hello Dr, bawo ni my dear...... May God keep and preserve all you have left in this world!

Oh mama!! The news of your demise was a great shock to me,was looking forward to speaking with my friend Gloria and ask after you as always anytime we speak or chat but instead I got the message of your death! Haaa it was shocking and So painful,remembering how you took me in as a daughter,as a child then coming to your house then to visit was always an exciting one for me,you'd cook and serve Gloria and I after which you will gist with us as mates.. Was only looking forward to seeing you again after a very long time to bring back memories and this happened,haaa! Am short of words.. I pray the good lord accept your beautiful soul and comfort us all your children in Jesus name. Amen!!! Rest in Peace iya Gloria ! Rest in Peace mummy

My pillar,my confidant, my friend, my gist partner, my guidance, my prayer champion, I am broken without words, you told me you were traveling, we even had small quarrel about it, but we later settled like we use to, u said OLUWATIMILEYIN omo alade mi, don't worry when I come back on Sunday, if I don't call, expect my call on Monday, iya Gloria am still waiting for that call, it was a shock when they called me to tell me, u were involved in accident and that you were not breathing. I told myself pls if this is a dream, I need to wake up. I also ran mad, till now am a shadow of myself. We had plans and dreams together. Iya Gloria like I fondly called u, this hurt so deep, I am so broken, my joy is that you knew christ, I remember how u fight me when I get overly upset with people, mummy I know u are resting because you are a real definition of what a good Christian mother is. Iya mi, all your grandchildren misses u especially Toffy that u were always hungry to see. I can't believe I am using past tense on you, mummy my heart is heavy, we all love you but God loves u more, till we meet to part no more, sun re oooo!!! I love u today, tomorrow and always. If I am go pick a mother again, I will pick u over and over again. Rest in peace my angel.

Aunty, the last moments we shared were amazing and so this still remains a shock! Honestly words fail me but I know Our great Jehovah will guide you and give you perfect rest in his bosom.

Mummy, Am still in stock because i can’t seems to understand how we were dancing and playing together and the next hour you’re not talking nor answering me again when I was calling and beating your body to respond to me… Haaaaa Ase baye semo lawa layee!!! When am always having peace that you’ll be there for me when I gave birth to my triplets but God understand!!! Am missing how you call me already Anty B…………. I Love you kind hearted Iya Gloria and my hubby paddi. Rest in perfect peace till we meet again and plss say hi to my parents and my darling brother Dapo.

Mummy Gloria, it was so sad to hear about your passing, I had just seen you about a month earlier, for every time Big Sister Gloria had us deliver gifts to you on your birthday or Mother’s Day or randomly, it was always an amazing experience, we always danced and danced, you were always so kind and gave me big warm hugs every time, the most beautiful thing was that you always left us with prayers and more prayers. We will miss you dearly but our comfort is that you are in a better place. Sleep well Mummy Gloria, you will always be loved and remembered.
