Mummy,
Your warmth and laughter lit up every room, making everyone feel at home. I will always cherish the love you shared with your family and the kindness you extended to all of us. It’s hard to believe you are gone, and my heart goes out to your beautiful family.
Rest in peace, knowing you made a lasting impact on all of us.

Hmmmmm…. This still feels unreal…
“Hello, my darling … Nurse Jane… how are you? Omo mi nko?”… the words that usually start up a beautiful long conversation.. somewhere in the middle “Daddy, oya come oo, it’s Nurse Jane…”… and Daddy will come and join the conversation…
I didn’t have to ask for it, I didn’t have to beg for her attention … it was just there as though I was her biological daughter…
Hmmm … Mommy…. The shock, the pain, the disbelief that hit me when I was told you had passed … was like someone punched me from within… like please someone just tell me that this is the most practical joke of the century… but alas it was not… how can it be true… my mind ran through the last calls, texts everything … and am thinking…HOW??!!!!….
Hmmmm… words are soo fickle when trying to express the depth of emotions… but one thing is soo sure ….
Mom… you will be sorely missed… your voice, your laughter and your good heart… am sure heaven is rejoicing at your return… but we here miss you always …
Thanks for sharing a part of your life with my family and I … we will always have you in our hearts…
Rest on dear mother …

My sweet mummy, so so so beautiful inside out mama, you are that mum that I didn’t know about until a few years ago. Your genuineness, your sweetness was always so palpable every time I interacted with you. Your sweetness was such a soothing balm to everyone you spoke with. Heaven has definitely gained an angel. It would never be easy but I pray God gives us the grace. Your sweet smile will forever be in our minds, even though we will no longer have that privilege on this side. Sleep on my sweet mummy, till we meet again in the kingdom of God

Nothing ever prepares you for the silence and numbness one feels when a loved one passes on.
The news hit me harder the next day when I woke up, thinking to myself, I hope yesterday was a bad dream until the messages started pouring in.
The grief never goes, neither does time heal this pain completely.
Mummy will say to me, OmoB aya Oluyemi, shey everything wa okay, but I wish I could say right now, that everything is okay Mum. I remembered the first day you met me, your smile and how you keep asking me, Ha Ori mi, bawo ni o se sele, omo Joke, omo Kemi ni Yemi mu wa le, ha my daughter, feel free o, you are in your Mothers house and you meant it Mum. You showed so much strength even when you didn't have to.
Thank you for loving me like your own. I will never forget you Mummy.
Zoe will miss you Grandma and I will tell her so much about you.
Taking succour in the Lord because that is what you would have wanted.
I am not okay but I will be okay because you would have wanted this Mum.

Words fail me. How do I start mentioning how you have been a pillar to my family. Your demise came as a rude shock but we can't question God. You will always be remembered for your wonderful closeness to us. It is well

My dearest mama, Reverend Mrs. Cecilia Omomukuyo—our beloved Mama Shepherd,
How does one find the words to capture a light as brilliant as yours? As I sit to write this tribute, I'm surrounded by memories of your radiant smile, your gentle wisdom, and the countless ways you shaped not only my life, but the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know you.
I remember watching you move through life with such purpose and grace. In the quiet moments at home, you were our loving mother—patient, nurturing, and wise beyond measure. Your hands, always busy serving others, somehow still had time to wipe our tears, prepare our meals, and guide our path. The lessons you taught through your actions rather than just your words have become the foundation upon which I've built my own life.
In your role as Mama Shepherd to our CAKIC church family, I witnessed how your faith moved mountains. The way you prayed for others—with such conviction that even the most troubled heart found peace. Your counsel was sought by so many, and you gave freely of your time and wisdom. I watched with awe as you transformed lives simply by showing people their own worth through God's eyes.
What a blessing it was to see you and Daddy serve side by side, your ministries complementing each other perfectly. The love and respect between you created a model of marriage that taught us children what true partnership looks like. The way you supported his vision while maintaining your own unique calling showed me that love doesn't diminish individual purpose—it magnifies it.
Mummy, your laughter was medicine to our souls. Even in challenging times, you found joy and helped us find it too. You had a special gift for celebrating life's small victories and teaching us to be grateful for every blessing.
I find your fingerprints everywhere in my life—in the way I approach challenges with faith, in how I try to serve others, in the values I'm going to pass on to my own children. Your body may have left us, but your spirit, your wisdom, and your love remain—woven permanently into the fabric of who we are.
Thank you, Mama Shepherd, for showing us how to live with purpose, serve with compassion, love without condition, and walk in faith. Until we meet again in our heavenly home, I will honor your memory by living the values you instilled and sharing the love you so freely gave.
With eternal love, and gratitude!
