  🕯 Dear Mother!! No one can match or replace the position of a mother in the life of a child. I share your pain Yomi. One thing I know is that mama is singing with the Angels already and her smiles shines from above guiding your ways and that of your siblings. She may be our loss but definitely heavens gain. Adieu mama rere!

  By your fruits you are known. More wind beneath your wings as you rise high into the sky, and as angels of God welcome you. Fear not, your offspring we will be fine, partly due to your good work, and mostly due to love of God. May you celebrate in peace.

  🕯 I called Abubu's mum "Mummy 24 Road", you were the definition of KINDNESS & PATIENCE to me. All I remember about you are the moments you were there, you support and care

  🕯 A tribute to my mom with a heavy heart, mama-Ogunbo as we fondly refer to her, she was an Epitome of love, very humble, caring and generous, a mother to all people in the church, an in the neighbourhood, regardless of their tribe, she was a model and a pacesetter in the art of hospitality. Her death came as a shock to me when I heard, it was so sudden, unexpected, she still looked so strong and healthy, I never thought it could come in the next ten years, but it pleased the Lord to call her home at this time to an eternal rest in His bosom from all the troubles of this world. She is a great loss to me and all the family members grieving at this time, I have that emptiness in my heart and will really miss her, till we meet again at the feet of Jesus, which is the comfort that I have. She lived a life of service to others, with an attitude of selflessness, and a good life of concern for others, above herself e.g. somebody shared a testimony about her, that when she didn’t have a job, she brought a big envelop of good money to her at home to start a business, and the person confessed that, she is praying for the grace to follow such a legacy, and live a good life like she did. She was a submissive and God-fearing woman, she was an embodiment of the character of Jesus. I have fond memories of how she showed love to everybody around her, I admire and love her so much, but God loves her most, may these memories held in my heart, help to comfort me. I give thanks to God that she lived a fulfilled life, and she saw Jesus before death. Mummy, now that you are gone, I feel pain in my heart, and will miss you so much. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace in Jesus name.

  Dear Yomi and family, Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences. I was just made aware of your mother’s passing via an email. Words may not be able to express the loss or pain you and your family feel. My family will certainly pray that you find comfort in this time of need. The bible assures us at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 that God will provide the comfort needed. Jesus likened death to sleep in John 11:11-14 when referring to Lazarus, which had been dead for several days until he was resurrected/brought back to life. This is in harmony with the thought found in Ecclesiastes 9:5 which shows the condition of those we have lost to our greatest enemy death. We too can look forward to that same hope mentioned in Acts 24:15, the resurrection. The bible states that we will see our love ones again who have fallen a sleep in death. To paraphrase John 5:28,29, there will be a time for all of those who paid attention to the teachings of the Son of God (Jesus) who was sent by his Father to be resurrected/brought back to life just as Jesus had done in the case of Lazarus. Based upon everything I read, I can tell your dear mother was a devout Christian. There is no doubt that God who has a name (Psalms 83:18) like no other and who is the Most High has your mother in his memory. I look forward to meeting her personally after the resurrection.

  🕯 moment I met you in Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries Washing DC Branch, you have been a mother in a million and an elder to emulate as a Sister, mother and woman with your peace and love to us all. After service you go round us all with great humility as if we are older than you while in actual fact we are ages of your children. We were always looking forward to seeing you back in the US when you are home in Nigeria as a result we are always asking Bro Yomi when you will be back until the shocking news of your death came last Saturday the 14th of February, the last thing we expect to hear but we rejoice and celebrate your good life with the family and we take solace that you are singing and dancing with Angels in the presence of the Lord God. Mummy I am going to miss my zip lock bag of Shawa and ede for my Ikokore whenever you are back from Nigeria. We love you but God loves you more. Rest in Perfect Peace in the bosom of your Father in Heaven. Sis Yetunde Oyegbade

  Mother! Dear Mother!! No one can match the up to what a mother means to any child. Yomi please accepr my heartfelt condolences. I share your pain dear but I know mama is definitely singing with the Angels. She's our loss but heavens gain dear. Adieu mama rere!!!

  Dear Ogunbowale family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Although I did not know Modupe and I am coming to you as a stranger, I was very moved by your kind words about her. Truly, this was very well written. I felt as though I got a glimps of Modupe's life and more importantly her outstandingly generous character. However, the reason I am writting to you is not only to offer condolences but also to provide comfort from the bible. Death is by far one of the hardest things to cope with. What's interesting to note though, is that in God's original will we were not intended to die (Gen 9:7). God takes no pleasure in us dying nor does he have anything to do with it. However, God does reassure us that there will be a resurrection for those who have passed away. Acts 24:15 reads, "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." and John 5:28,29 reads, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". When I lost my uncle and my grandfather these scriptures made it so real to me that I would in fact see them again. Modupe was obviously loved by so many people and she is not only in all of your memories, but she is in God's memory as well. Although I'm sure you all are hurting, take comfort in knowing Jehovah God promises to do away with death forever and that this pain is only temporary. I wish the best to you both and the rest of your family, and I know Modupe will be delighted to see you all again soon!

  🕯 I write this with deep sadness and sense of loss as i remember MAMA Ogunbo. The ever-smiling, caring and virtuous woman. We will sincerely miss her as she as gone to be with the Lord as there is no doubt she is with the Lord and this is a sure consolation for us. I remember how she always makes sure to call to check on me and the family every time she is around and she never misses it too. Always happy to see me and Amy every time we go to see them. That smile is always a sure way to brighten your day when you see her and we will miss that sooo much. MAMA please sleep on and Baba Ogunbo and we all will miss you so much. Love always.. Gabby

• dapogbite

  🕯 I still can't believe you have left this (wicked) world, Mama Ogunbo. Without any notice, you left loved ones and you are already being missed. We loved you but I am sure the Lord loves you more. Rest in the bosom of the Lord till we meet again....ADIEU.

  The news of Mama's 'passing' came as a huge surprise. Though I hadn't seen her in a while, I still have fond memories of various encounters with her right from childhood to adulthood. She always had a warm and motherly smile whenever I met her in person or while visiting my childhood friend and her son - 'Abayomi' at their home. We love her but, God loves her more! May the God of all comfort soothe all hearts to whom 'mama' was precious. May we meet to part no more someday in God's kingdom in Jesus name. (Amen) Odaro ma!

• mmbalogun

  Though I did not have the privilege to know mama (I was looking forward to her next trip to the US) I nevertheless know that mama lived a dedicated Christian life. Her sudden departure is painful to us, but heavens gained a faithful servant. May her soul rest in peace.

  🕯 Mama Ogunbo, e ma sinmi ninu ayo Olugbala. May the good Lord comfort the family you left behind. RIP mama rere

• tomtom

  It is usually sad to loose someone who is dear. I never met mama but I met her son Yomi from way back in secondary school. Luke 6 : 43 says " for no good tree bear bad fruit, nor again does a good fruit bear bad fruit. " I have experienced and benefitted from your lovely virtues through your son. I believe that she mama will score highly for training up her children in the way of the Lord. I have learnt a lesson that no labour of love over our children can be wasted. Our sincere condolences Yomi and the rest of the family. Please be comforted by those cherished moments shared with mama and ensure that the testimonies about her kind life endures generations after... Respect

  🕯 Mummy Festac! it is too hard to believe that you've been taken away from us, that we won't hear your soft, gentle, compassionate, soothing voice again calming down fears and anxieties and praying for us!! In the depth of this grief, (because we will not grieve like those without hope) we give glory to God for your life and your time here on earth and so many lives that God has used you to touch; and pray that the divine legacy and the love of Jesus that you taught and left with us that we will pay it forward and be true witnesses of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You deserve the rest from all your labors so "Mummy, Rest in the bosom of your Father till we see you again! Shola Ikene (nee Osinowo)

• kennyalways

  🕯 I was sad to hear the passing away of our dear Grandma Ogunbowale. Mummy was gentle, sweet and always smiling. She was a GOD fearing woman and always said a word of prayer to me anytime I spoke with her on the phone. Mummy will be dearly missed. I know she has gone to be with the Lord. May GOD strengthen and comfort this family at this time. My prayer is that we will meet again at Jesus feet, Amen. Kehinde Adegbite

  🕯 It is sad to hear about the passing away of mummy. One of the memories my mom, brother and I have about her is the fact that she always finds time to look for others - in other words, she is caring. We are hopeful because we have Christi! Time, how short- eternity how long! Death, how brief- immortality how endless! The road is so so short! I shall soon be there. Oyin

• segsob

  🕯 A tribute to Mummy Ogunbowale: When a person passes on, it is an opportunity to reflect on who, what and why they are? She was a Christian woman, a mother in (our)Israel with a strong core value of loving kindness. To us - she was the one who kept in touch wherever she maybe in the world. A practical demonstration of "love thine neighbour as thine self. We believe the reason she was who & why she was is due to her core family values. These values are now passed on to the next generation. We salute you and take up the mantle of your love expression to those around us. Rest in peace till we meet at the Saviour's feet in Paradise.

  It is sad to hear of the passing away of mummy. One of the memories that stands out when my mom, kunle and I reflect is the fact that she always takes the time to look for others- in others words she was very caring. We are hopeful because we have Christ. Time, how short-eternity, how long! Death, how brief- immortality, how endless! The road is so so short! I shall soon be there.

  Yomi and Family, Please accept my sincere and heart felt Condolences about Mummy's great loss. I commiserate with the entire family at this solemn but difficult moment and pray that her soul find repose peacefully in the bossom of the most high God. Please take solace and be strong while being courageous too since we all look up to you for encouragements at this point. As Christians with faith in the bible l'd draw your heavy heart's & attention to this eternal verse........... According to Job 14:5; Everyone's days on Earth are already determined; It has been decreed; the number of her years, months, days and time on earth has already been pre-determined at the beginning (Akosile so called in Yoruba) and God had set limit she cannot exceed. May Mama gracious soul continue to rest in peace, Amen. Please take heart and like l said days ago..... "All of us share this world for a brief moment in time" It is well! Shallom. Seun Elias
