Not sure what to say?

May your soul rest in peace

I know God is celebrating with you and the angels up there but happy birthday from Heaven, Dad!
I hope your 52nd birthday is as amazing as you are!❤
March 28 is a very special day for a very special man like yourself❤
I wish you were here physically so I could squeeze the heck out of you but I know you’re smiling down at me!
I love you so so much Big Poppa!❤
Rest In Peace and just know I’m with you every step of the way!
Mom, Alex, and myself love you deeply!❤

My special friend may your soul rest peacefully in God's bosom

The death of Olumba is a very big loss not just to the family but to the entire Emekuku community and the society at Large.
May his gentle soul rest in peace Amen. Bibian and Kevin

This message is for Greg Obi:

The Sun (Son) Still Shines
Lift up your eyes & look beyond dark clouds to heaven's blue
The shadowed moment soon will pass...The Sun (Son) still shines for you!
May He whose love can shine right through when clouds are dull & gray
Send Heavenly Sunshine (Sonshine) that will bring new life for you today!

Our thoughts & prayers are with you, & we are soooo sorry for your loss!

We cannot believe that Olumba is no more, a young vibrant gentle man, full of humour, bubbling with life yesterday and only to be now described in the past. Having been part of your family for long, we feel grieved.
We sympathize with the entire family knowing very well that a sizeable chunk of you have been sliced off.
Please be consoled as we commit his gentle soul to the loving care of God.
Bibian and Kevin

I remember you as gentle friendly always adorning a cheerful look I never thought ice cream could melt in your mouth Could that be how "Sly" sneaked into your name? One could easily associate you with a serene and peaceful disposition.. not a belligerent one Many years after... I see in you the once youthful look has transformed into a philosopher's mien.. introspective and deep.. embellished with a subtle smile rather than a toothy grin We that loved you and still do will have at the...

To the Obi family

I am so sorry for your lost. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Francis Obi. From the memories Winnie has shared with me ,he sounded like a wonderful, caring and generous soul. Though he may no longer be here, the joyous times that he has given you will always remain. He truly will be missed.

Dear grand uncle Francis, I miss our play of raising our hands like black power move. Thanks for being so much fun
