It is indeed heartbreaking and so difficult to come to terms with your glorious transition. It's been a great privilege to be part of your impactful journey. Your exemplary life of selflessness and humility is worthy of utmost admiration and on personal reflection, to be emulated.
I am deeply grateful for how you nurtured my children as if they were yours. Entrusting my children into your care was one of the best decisions my family made. You showered them with so much affection that not only they, but I also always looked forward to coming to "Nigeria House". Yes..that's what we called your home. A place where everyone felt welcomed due to you amazing warmth and hospitality.
My children would never stop requesting we come to your place for our delicious meal of 'Pounded yam and ogbono soup' which we all - adults and children, will devour with great joy and satisfaction. A testament to your amazing culinary skills. Effortlessly, the food came through to all and we all shared with love.
I recall a recent catch up where I told my children to always be grateful to you for all you did for them. With all meekness and humility you responded to my children..'Don't mind your Mummy, all glory to God'. You were truly a beautiful soul.
Thank you for being a true example of a Christ-like life. I'm comforted knowing you fought a good fight and you have gloriously finished your race.
Rest peacefully in the bossom of your Maker. Heaven has gained an Angel. Hallelujah!!!
I still remembered vividly how the relationship started with my friend and former colleague, your husband many many years back. It was also a privilege for me when you and your husband agreed and nominated me to give a toast on your wedding day. On the day of the wedding, after my toast it was obvious the union was signed, sealed and delivered by God.
You are a loving soul and homely wife. We will miss you greatly but God knows best. Rest in peace Ju-ju and may God grant your family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss in Jesus name, Amen
Aunty—as I fondly called you—I am a man of faith, and until yesterday evening I clung to that faith. Hebrews tells us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). I held onto that promise even through the night of tribute, yet somehow it still feels unreal. When the youngest of the house rose to speak, her trembling voice pleading for you to come back home pierced my heart, and I wept alongside her.
None of us wanted you to go, for your very name was Love, Kindness, Selflessness. We believed we had more time to bask in those virtues. But Scripture reminds us, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). You came, you served, you loved—and in so doing, you made the world a better place. You left us countless lessons in service to God and humanity; that legacy of kindness and compassion is ours now to carry on.
As I write this, I pause often to let my tears subside before I can share more. I’ve read through our conversations—from day one until your last—and one truth shines through every message: you were a gentle soul, a woman of unwavering faith and ceaseless prayer. Aunty, your humility moved me more than words can say. How could someone so peaceful, so deeply intentional in love, simply… leave? Only God holds that answer, and He bids us give thanks in all circumstances—knowing His purposes are rooted in perfect love and goodness.
I’ll never forget our last call with Sister Pat and Bunor last month. In the midst of our chatter, I joked to liven things up—and you, ever so full of life, exclaimed, “Eeweee!” and laughed. That laugh—bright, warm, joyous—is my final golden memory with you, replaying in my mind since Ekenem’s tribute yesterday. Though there are countless sweet memories, that moment will forever shine.
Truly, the earth has lost an angel. Here below we mourn, yet in heaven they rejoice at gaining one more.
Your return to Nigeria was never about a single celebration or ceremony, but about a life of service and sacrifice—the very qualities we all knew and cherished in you. And when we asked Dr. Felix to suggest a name for our newborn, he immediately sent Ugochukwu (“God’s Pride”). Divinely, that name arrived just as you were blessing us with your presence at Orah’s birth. That holy convergence of your service and her arrival felt like God’s perfect design—and it remains one of the most treasured moments I hold.
Aunty, from Olivia, Orah, and me—thank you. Thank you for the privilege of knowing you, however briefly. Your love and kindness have stamped our hearts forever. By God’s grace, I will keep telling my daughters about their “big mummy,” ensuring your memory and lessons live on in them.
And Bunor, your little sister, has always shown her joy and gratitude for having you in her life; the memories of you two growing up together will remain evergreen in her heart.
Thank you, Aunty.
Good night, and may your soul rest in perfect peace.
And coming here today to hear good things you did when you were alive make me believe that you are with the Lord in heaven ,no doubt about that.
May your soul rest in peace.

Nothing prepared us for your exit. No goodbyes.
You will be missed, but remembered as the calm and pleasant person that you were.
May the Lord grant your soul an eternal rest, grant your family and friends the fortitude to bear your loss.
Good night Juliet 🕊️💕
Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas.” –by William Penn. “Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon.” –
Sister Juliet, gone but never forgotten. Forever in our hearts. With love and fond memories of your charitable works; your love for GOD even as a team player in the hospitality department; always there and on point. We will miss you dearly. Thank you for everything. Your light will continue to shine..
Rest peacefully in God's care."

You were amazing, dedicated, compassionate, helpful, loving, gracious, generous......the list goes on and on. You are so honest and transparent shunning and clinging to that which is great.
Your input and service at my 50th birthday can never be forgotten in a jiffy. You were not seen because you were serving making sure that everyone is fine. You didn't even have much time to appear in pictures.
Thank you so much. Your beautiful ❤️ memorable memories and legacy lives on. We will cherish you eternally, keep resting in His blossom till we see again. Much love and appreciation 💕💕💕💕
Each time I would feel pain, you would say “ndo”. It was through you that I learnt my first igbo word.
I’m sorry to see you go, Aunty.
Continue to shower your family and loved ones with love from up above.
You will be greatly missed, Aunty. 🤍
Now,it has dawned on me that you are no more.
A true Christian who yielded her life to serving the Lord.
Who are we to question the Almighty for HE giveth and HE taketh.We praise HIM for the beautiful though short time we
spent together .
Keep resting Sister Juliet and may the Lord continue to watch over the lovely family you left behind in Jesus name.Amen.
Keep resting dearest sister. Heaven gained. We love you but God loves you more 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Rest in perfect peace nwanyi oma
You are greatly going to be missed by both those that came in contact with you, and those you impacted their lives, even without meeting them.
I pray God will grant you eternal rest, and give your husband and children the Grace to bear the irreplaceable and irreparable loss, till you meet to part no more🙏
Adieu Mrs Juliet Ugochukwutumelum Chigbogwu
Indeed you will be
May God bless her soul, Amen.
I will never forget the darkness I was in, the overwhelming despair that threatened to consume me. And then, there you were, an unwavering light. You opened not just your door, but your heart and your home to me, offering a sanctuary of solace and understanding. That selfless act of love, that unwavering support during my most vulnerable time, is forever etched into the deepest corners of my heart.
To have known you was truly a privilege, an honour I will carry with me always. The memories we shared, the laughter, the quiet moments of understanding – these are treasures I will hold close, polishing them with gratitude as the years go by. Though grief weighs heavily now, I find comfort in knowing that your spirit, so full of peace and love, now rests in the bosom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and will continue to inspire all who were touched by your grace. Rest in peace, dear friend. You will be deeply and forever missed.
Today, we gather our thoughts and feelings to honor someone who brought light into the lives of everyone she encountered. Juliet (fondly called Iya Ebube) was not just our sister, our friend, but a soul so profoundly beautiful that her kindness and love remain etched in our hearts, even as the world feels dimmer without her.
She was the kind of person who made laughter a melody, who turned ordinary days into moments of extraordinary joy. Her compassion knew no bounds; she gave without hesitation, loved without reservation, and lived with a spirit that inspired everyone around her.
Though your journey on this earth was cut short abruptly, the legacy you leave is timeless.
She taught us the value of kindness, the strength in vulnerability, and the beauty of living authentically. Her memories will be our guiding star in times of darkness—a reminder to love a little harder, laugh a little louder, and hold on to those we cherish.
We do not want to remember you for the tragedy of your passing, but for the brilliance of your presence, and the immeasurable ways you enriched our lives.
Rest peacefully, Juliet. You will forever be missed, deeply loved, and always celebrated. Till we meet again in the bosom of the Lord.
Her love, strength, and quiet grace will always be remembered.
We are lifting her children ,husband and family in prayers, asking God to comfort and strengthen them during this painful time.
Rest in perfect peace, Sis Ugo.
You are gone too soon, but your light will never fade. 💔🙏🙏
When there are more questions than answers, words will fail us,but we submit everything to the sovereignty of God until that bright Ressurection morning when mortality gives Watford immortality then we will know and understand everything. You were indeed a pillar of support. May the Lord continually uphold and strengthen Ps. Marshall and the children. Rest in peace.
Adieu
Sister Juliet… What a world.
You never gave me a sign that you were leaving us. Even at the party last year—our last time together—you were so full of life, with your ever-smiling face lighting up the room.
Words cannot truly express the shock and pain I felt upon hearing of your passing.
May your soul rest in perfect peace. I pray that God, in His infinite mercy, grants you eternal rest and welcomes you into His kingdom—where there is no pain, no suffering.
Adieu, Sister Juju.
Linda (the Childminder
Keep rest in the bosom of your Lord and King, till we meet on the resurrection morning.
Good night Auntie Ugo
You were such a very beautiful and gentle soul but who are we to question God. From Him we came and to Him we will all return. You lived a great life sis. We love you but God loves you more.
Keep resting in the Lord until we meet to part no more. Good night sis ❤️❤️❤️
It still feels surreal that I am writing you a letter like this—not in anticipation of your reply, but to honour your beautiful spirit and our unforgettable bond.
My dear Ju Ju, your passing on 8 April left a void in my heart that words can hardly describe. Yet, even in this pain, I find comfort in remembering the woman you were—strong, vibrant, full of faith and joy. You were a good and honest soul, a woman who loved and feared God deeply. Your life was a testimony of grace, courage, and unwavering faith.
Your presence was always comforting. How can I ever forget your laughter, so full of warmth, your joy contagious like sunshine on a rainy day? You were as strong and courageous as a lion, Juliet. Even in sickness, you showed a strength that continues to inspire me.
I often think of your agility, resilience, and the way you handled life’s challenges like a mountain antelope—graceful and determined. It was truly a privilege to have called you my friend. I do not take it for granted that I was able to stand by your bedside as you peacefully transitioned into glory. That moment is etched in my heart forever.
You were one of a kind—an extraordinary woman with noble values. You were the best cook I’ve known, but beyond that, your heart overflowed with love, kindness, and generosity. Your person-centred nature touched everyone who crossed your path. You taught me, without even trying, how to be more hospitable, serve with joy, and live for others.
Contentment was like your second skin. You were always grateful for both big and small blessings and found joy in the simplest things. Thank you for the life lessons, belly-aching laughter, and memories I now treasure more than ever.
I promise to cherish the values you lived by—selflessness, compassion, faith, and gratitude. Your legacy lives on in all of us lucky enough to know you.
To your beloved husband, Pastor Marshall, your strength is truly inspiring during this time. I pray that the Holy Spirit comforts and strengthens you as you care for your blessed children, Ebubechukwu, Otitochukwu, Uchechukwu, and Ekenemchukwu.
Rest well, my dear friend. You fought the good fight. Your memory will live in my heart, always.
Dalu nwayi Obioma, Imebarunmma! You did very well.
We will meet again in heaven.
Jee Ije gi nke oma Ada elu igwe🌹🌹
With love and deep affection,
Chinonye
With a heavy heart, I say goodbye to a woman of grace, love, and peace.
Juliet was more than a sister-in-law; she was a calm, beautiful soul who brought warmth and light wherever she went.
She was a loving wife to my brother, embodying devotion and quiet strength. Juliet loved peace, and she lived it; touching lives with her gentle heart.
Though her time with us was brief, her memory will forever live on in our hearts.
Rest well, Juliet.
You are deeply loved and sorely missed.
Thank you for teaching us love and compassion, your love for others around made your home a beehive of activities. You accommodated all who needed a place to lay their head. You fed whoever entered your home. You were such a humble soul. You always told me how your cooked with a very large pot so that anyone that came would have something to eat. You will be greatly missed by all and sundry. No one can fill the vacuum you have left. You are one too many.
Rest on my friend till we meet at Jesus feet.
This one pain me.
My thoughts and prayers are with entire family at this difficult time.
When I heard of your health condition, I and the entire Chigbogwu family went the extra mile to fast and pray night and day interceding and standing in the gap to keep you whole and healthy.
We didn't give ourselves any break in intercessory prayers for you, until early hours of April 8th when the news broke out that you have joined the saints in heaven.
Though heaven has gained your soul but we would miss you big time.
We never knew you would not be on this side of heaven till the rapture of the church.
Your transition left us with a heavy heart but we will find our comfort, strength and succour from the word of God which is able to comfort our heart.
I am sure you are in a better place now. You will forever be in our heart.
Your gentle,calm ,quiet, warmth smiles and peaceful
lifestyle will ever be missed.
All I can say now my dearest Aunty Ugo is good night. Rest well in the bossom of the Lord until that beautiful resurrection morning when all the saints shall meet our master in the air.
Thank you for the lives you touched and the impacts you made.
Good night.
May the good Lord go with you.
though we only met on a few occasions and didn’t have the chance to know each other closely, I heard so much about the kind and wonderful person you were.
As you journey on to eternity, may the good Lord grant you eternal rest and give strength and comfort to those you’ve left behind to bear this great loss.
Journey well, ma.
Rest up J🕊️
See you in the day of the Lord 🤍

She was a quiet force of strength, standing beside her husband in ministry with unwavering devotion. Her presence in our church was a reflection of God's gentleness—always ready with a kind word, a listening ear, or a heartfelt prayer. Whether in the background or at the forefront, she served with humility and a heart full of love for both God and people.
She carried the burdens of others with compassion and poured herself into the lives of those around her. Her faith never wavered, even through life’s trials. She was a true example of Proverbs 31—a woman who feared the Lord and lived with wisdom and dignity.
Though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit remains etched into the heart of this church and the lives she so gracefully touched. We grieve her absence deeply, but we rejoice in the hope of eternity, knowing she is in the presence of the One she served so faithfully.
To our pastor—we thank you for sharing her with us. We stand with you in honoring her memory and continuing the work she so beautifully began.
To the children: the Almighty God will console, comfort and control your heart feelings during, beyond this period of grief, and grants you solace in Christ Jesus, Amen.
She was truly a gift, and she will never be forgotten.
With heartfelt sympathy and love,
Sis. Omotayo A. Oluwole. Lagos. Nigeria 🇳🇬
My prayer is that I meet you one day when God shall come. May God comfort your family with the greatest comfort.
May your soul rest in perfect peace, I will forever miss you. Love you Juliet ❤️

I will say words truly failed me in this day.
I will say these words without hesitation ‘Gone too soon’ .

I will miss you and our chats about life in general.
I know you were a woman of faith and I know you are dancing with the angels and singing your heart out.
God will take care of your family during these difficult times and beyond .
I will continue to pray 🙏🏿 for them.

What I will always remember most about her was her remarkable ability to navigate even the most challenging situations with grace and calm. She had a unique talent for making difficult moments seem manageable, offering a sense of reassurance and stability when it was needed most.
Beyond her exceptional professional skills, she possessed a truly kind heart. She was always ready with a listening ear, offering support and understanding to both colleagues and patients alike. Her genuine empathy and compassion created a more positive and supportive environment for everyone around her.
Her spirit of teamwork was exemplary. She fostered collaboration and always championed a unified approach to patient care. Her willingness to share her knowledge and expertise made us all better nursing team.
Furthermore, her sharp intellect and problem-solving abilities were invaluable. She approached every obstacle with a thoughtful and resourceful mindset, consistently finding effective solutions and inspiring us to do the same.
We have lost not only a skilled and dedicated nurse but also a cherished friend and mentor. Her contributions to our team and the lives of countless patients are immeasurable.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones during this difficult time. May they find comfort in knowing the positive impact she had on so many lives. Her memory will forever be a source of inspiration to us all.
With deepest sympathy,

It's hard to know where to begin when you're trying to sum up a person who's been such a big part of your journey.I've had the pleasure of working alongside you, and in that time, I've come to admire so much about you. You were not just a colleague; you were someone who brings positivity and light into the workplace. Your dedication and hard work have always been an inspiration.
One of the things I've always appreciated about you is your ability to stay calm under pressure. No matter how hectic things got, you always managed to keep a level head and find solutions. It's a quality that everyone around you respects. You had a knack for making even the most difficult tasks seem manageable, and your can-do attitude is infectious. You were an embodiment of Grace and love.
Till we meet at Jesus feet.Rest in peace Juliet.
May the Lord comfort the family and loved ones you left behind.
It’s hard to believe I’m writing this. It’s so painful—because deep down, I never thought the next time I’d hear your name would be like this.
You were a quiet soul at first, someone who kept to yourself. It took me a while to truly understand you, but when I did, I discovered someone so genuine, warm, and full of love. Our time together at Dartford House will forever hold a special place in my heart. We shared so many weekend shifts—talking, laughing, and supporting each other till daybreak. Even when I felt low, you had a way of lifting my spirit, always knowing just what to say.
Since you left Dartford House to continue your nursing journey, I hadn’t checked in. And now, knowing you're gone… it breaks me. I’m so sad writing this. It hurts in a way I can’t explain.
You were a proud and devoted mother of four beautiful children, and you spoke of them with such joy and love. You were a loving wife, a gentle friend, and a woman of great strength and grace. I pray that God keeps your children under His protection, gives them comfort, and wraps your husband in strength and peace.
We’ve lost someone truly special, and your absence will be deeply felt by everyone who knew you.
Rest in peacefully( Ma'ma ugo iya igbo as i always address you then )You are missed, you are loved, and you will never be forgotten. Toyin O ( Dartford House)
It's really heartbreaking to hear about the demise of your wife, I have worked with you as a colleague and your willingness to help everyone. You are the boss that looks and respect all ur staff with pure mind.I pray for her eternal rest and strength for your family.
With a heavy heart and deep gratitude to God, I remember and celebrate you, Aunty Ugo.
You embodied grace and gentleness. You carried yourself with an uprightness that commanded respect. Always dignified, never loud. Your laughter, light, joyful and unassuming nature had a way of brightening even the darkest moments.
I am heartbroken, yet grateful. Grateful that I got to know you, to be loved by you, to laugh with you, and to learn from you. Your legacy of love, integrity, and nurturing care will live on in my heart and in the many lives you touched.
Rest well, dearest Aunty Ugo. You were truly a light among us. We will miss you always.
Hearing of your passing on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, was a devastating shock. Sis. Juliet, your departure came far too soon. You fought bravely, but in the end, death took you from us. It’s still hard to believe you’re gone.
You were more than just a family friend—you were part of our family in every sense. In life and in faith, especially within RCCG Power of Jehovah, you served with grace, humility, and quiet strength. Your presence brought light, and your life reflected love, dignity, and compassion. Everyone who crossed paths with you felt your warmth and kindness.
You leave behind a loving husband and four wonderful children, the youngest only seven. Our hearts ache for them. I pray they find strength in the love that surrounds them and in the many lives you touched.
Juliet, your memory will always live in our hearts. Mimi, the children, and I will miss you deeply and dearly.
May your soul rest in perfect peace.
Richard & Mimi
We take solace in GOD that you are in a better place, though we can't see your face, but we know you are in a better place (Heaven) which has gain and welcome an ANGEL back home.
Though you will be greatly missed here on earth 🌎 and the good LORD will comfort us and the family you left behind in JESUS NAME AMEN.
