Rest in perfect peace🕊❤️
Thank you for your words of advice, thank you for those random cash gifts you blessed me with, most importantly thank you for loving my husband and by extension myself and our boys so dearly.
You fought hard and well, you stood strong in the storm.
I wish we had more time to spend together but I believe you are resting in the loving arms of your Heavenly Father. You will forever remain in my heart.

It takes a lot to accept the demise of a loved one especially a special person and a mother figure.
The first person i knew as a mother on this planet, my big sister, my smily even in tough circumstances. You played the mother role so well, i never for once thought of not having one before.
Caring, Disciplined, loving genuinely, soft spoken, firm.
You are like water quenching every fire. Your love in giving, groaning and going the extra miles for others is amazing.
You laid the foundation for everything that has shaped my journey in life. Your voice and wise counsel. Your reference for God and people. Your courage to believe God and be bold against all odds distinguishes in all strata of professionalism.
You will challenge authority status with respect, boldness, firmness without compromise even in the face of fire.
You taught me not to be shameful of what is gainful ; knowing God for oneself and taking His Word literally by the leading of the Holy Spirit is gainful. Giving your tithe and offering, sowing seed and serving God is gainful.
How can I forget fasting and reading the bible. Just like Iya Mushen(Grandma) taught as well.
You did not accept laziness, mediocre, lackadaisical attitude, bully or waywardness from anyone that comes across your path especially the young ones.
Your kind of giving even when you have little is unmatched.
I thank God for the grace of you and I thank him for the life you have lived.
In your light, many has seen light and fulfilled their destiny in life.
I judge God righteous and faithful knowing you are resting in His bossom till we meet at the feet of Jesus on the ressurection day.
Your beloved Jesugbadebo David Fakoya
There are people who come into our lives as family, but there are rare ones whose love goes far beyond their role. To me, you were not just a sister MamaD, you were like a mother, a guide, a protector, and a pillar of strength.
From our childhood, you stood in the gap for me in ways only a mother would. I remember the little but powerful acts of love like preparing a bowl and of paint bucket of water for me my twin Brother and others bathe during water scarcity when we were young. At that time, they seemed like simple things, but today I realized they were expressions of deep care and responsibility.
Your presence in my life never faded as we grew older. When my admission into Law School was not forthcoming, you stood by me with encouragement and unwavering belief. When the opportunity finally came and we faced Law School together, you were there supporting, motivating, and pushing me forward.
And when the day of the Call to Bar came, it was a moment of pride we shared. You believed in my journey and celebrated my progress as if it were your own achievement.
You also encouraged me when it was time to establish the partnership office FAKOYA, FAKOYA & CO and build my legal career. Your words strengthened my confidence and gave me courage to step into the future. Your guidance helped shape the lawyer I have become today.
“Bambam Lawyer,” as you fondly call me, you have truly been like a mother to me from childhood until now. Your love, sacrifices, wisdom, and guidance will never be forgotten.
Today, as I reflect on your life and the role you played in mine, my heart is heavy. Your absence leaves a space that no one can truly fill. You were a sister, a mentor, and a mother figure all in one.
Though you may be gone from our sight, your impact will continue to live in our hearts and in the lives you touched.
Thank you for your love.
Thank you for your sacrifices.
Thank you for your guidance.
You will always remain in my heart.
Rest well, my dear sister.

We are grateful to God for the gift of you even for the short while . Rest on beloved.
I personally still carry a mark on my forehead of our playful day at Santos.
We love you but God loves you more.
Sun re ooo, Ore.
Alas, I overrated life, believing your good/pleasant nature can surpass death. But I was dead wrong.
You have answered the call to the mother earth nature, one which we all will. Only your good works would/could remain immortal
Adieu Sister. Till our dry bones shall rise to meet Him in the sky at the Very Last Day!!!
Your One and Only Learned Colleague. A Dream Shared and Realized

In the four years I had the privilege of working with Aunty Clem, she proved to be a remarkable lawyer, a trusted mentor, and a supportive colleague. She was warm, understanding, and always willing to help. Her advice and strategies at work were dependable, and many of us often relied on her guidance.
Aunty Clem also had a joyful spirit. She spoke with great excitement that easily spread happiness to those around her, and she was a very good dancer who brought life and energy wherever she was.
She will be greatly missed, but the kindness, wisdom, and joy she shared will always remain in our hearts.
Rest in The Bossom of Christ, Aunty Clem.
You treated us all with love and kindness and was always ready to correct in love.
You will be greatly missed Ma.
Your Dudu
Though you are no longer here with us, your love will forever live in my heart.
Rest peacefully, my dear sister. You will always be loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten. 🕊️💔
Your calls checking on my niece and nephew is a testimony of your kindness.
