Dearest mum, what can I say? Your strength of character, hard work, uncompromising belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, saying it as it is, love, generosity, tenacity, and unashamed love for your family and friends is beyond reproach. How no DIY work could phase you - you decorated my house singled handedly, refusing any helping hand, stripping wall paper and putting up new ones, putting up all the cupboards and it was not uncommon for you to take down curtains wash them and put them back up before one returns from work whether that was at mine or another of your children's homes; how you would rearrange my kitchen telling me "it is not practical" ignoring my protests that it was my kitchen. You had such tremendous energy. Your love of life, laughter and calmness in a crisis, your stern look when you disapprove are all memories I will continue to hold dear. Your phrases like " complaining doesn't help" or "that is not our portion", are a couple that I will always remember. Thank you mum for doing the very best, for showing us that holding on will eventually yield good results, and that when the Lord is with you, you can really scale walls. Thank you for being my mum. And as I say "I love you mum, I hear you say " I love you too Ade, my lovely daughter "💝. I know you are with the Lord, waiting for when we will be reunited again in God's kingdom to part no more, and on that day that the Lord rewards you for your faithfulness with the crown of righteousness. Love you mum, now and forever.

Oma, you lived a life full of love for God and your family. I'm grateful for the moments shared with you at Uncle Victor and Aunty Ade's place. I remember you always watching christian tv whenever we visited your home. I remember having tea and cookies whenever we visited your home. I will miss you. Rest in eternal glory in the bossom of the Lord.

May your soul rest in perfect peace. I still have fund memories of your love and kindness in my teenage years. Heaven has gained an angel so rest in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sun re O.

I cannot express in words my dear Marlene how I am feeling right now having to write a tribute about our relationship together her since we met in Oyo 1967 a few months after Makanju was born All can say is that you came into our lives when I needed a friend in Nigeria who was also a stranger like me trying to adjust to life in a strange country , & your family became my family till all those years our children grew up into what they are today with the help of almighty God. Oma you were my friend,& the Sister God gave to me & my Children . You will remain the only other close family we had in our lives we will always remember you with love & affection. Rest in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ till we meet again at his feet when HE comes 4 his Church🙏🏽🍇 Frm RITIA FETUGA RIP
