Mama was more than an aunt. Her home was a place of comfort and she had that wonderful smile that lifts your spirit
She carried herself with grace and showed us the value of togetherness and importance of family.
Though we mourn her passing, we also give thanks — for her long life, for the moments we shared, and for the gift of having known her. To live 86years is to have touched generations, and she did so beautifully.

My mum of inestimable value. MUMMY, your strength was indescribable. Your prudence was second to none, Your love for your own was unequalled. You used every goodly and godly tool/means to make impact. Your virtues and value I hold in high esteem. I know I loved you,but the vacuum you left made me know how deep it was. The cut was very deep because the input and impact was very great. Losing you was one of the hardest things life has ever handed me. YOU were not just my mum, You were a light, a strength, a beautiful soul who made life warmer just by being in it. You lived with kindness, love and a heart so pure and that's how I choose to remember you always . Though you're no longer here with us,your presence is still felt. Keep resting in peace Mum, till we meet again.

Her mission was one that made a great difference in the lives of many people. The great number of people who attended her class as their teacher and headmistress says a lot about the kind of person she was.
She wasn't a celebrity or a well-known social figure; her death wasn't mentioned in the newspapers or on the radio. However, her departure touched many.
Keep resting ma!

Late Ezinne Catherine Onwuzuruigbo was a woman of great kindness, love, and virtue. She lived a life of compassion, touching many hearts with her generosity and gentle spirit.
Her name, Ezinne—“good mother”—truly reflected who she was. She gave selflessly, loved deeply, and stood as a pillar of strength to her family and all who knew her.
Though she is no longer with us, her legacy of love, faith, and goodness will continue to live on in our hearts.
“Her children arise and call her blessed.” – Proverbs 31:28
May her soul rest in perfect peace.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to her beloved children, Sir Henry Onwuzuruigbo and Engineer Chinonso Onwuzuruigbo, and the entire family.
May God comfort you in this difficult time and grant you the strength to bear this great loss. We pray that the beautiful memories of your mother will bring you peace, and that her soul finds eternal rest in the bosom of the Lord.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.
