Grandma,

I only got to spend a few years towards the end of your time on earth with you but those years were wonderful. How you made me laugh so much. The TV shows we watched together, the games we played, our short strolls around the living room and our little gists here and there. I didn't know scratchers were fun until you. You and I were partners until everyone came home at the end of work and you fried the sweetest puffpuff I have ever had and taught me how to fry them too....

Hi Grandma! I love and miss you so so much. You were always so kind and your voice so gentle and comforting. I used to save your voicemails and listen to you say: “Lola; how are you my dear? This is your grandma; call me back! I love you!” You always called me “Ah Lolly Pop” when I saw you & that always made me smile. You meant the world to all of us. It saddens me not having you here with us any more, but I know you are in a much better place. I think of you often & will hold on tight to the...

Mummy was my 2nd mom. My testimony is one that, I can never forget in my life. When my mother got sick was in the hospital for almost a year, this wonderful mom, took over as our mom.

Hi Grandma!
It’s me, your “Gentleman”! Still coming to terms that I will never get to hear you call me that anymore. God blessed us with your presence for 87 wonderful years and somehow it still feels like you left us too soon! I thank God that you’re no longer in pain and in a better place!
You are loved by many and that’s evident by the number of people affected by your passing. We love you dearly and we’re going to miss you tremendously. I’m going to miss that beautiful smile...

Mummy,
You are gone but will never be forgotten. We missed your motherly advice, the candid conversations and the arrival calls you made telling us you have arrived from Nigeria.
Mummy we love you, but Jesus loves you more. Till we meet again on resurrection day. Rest very well in peace.
