Funmi, it still feels like a dream. I miss you and your lovely family so much. I will miss our regular phone calls and uplifting discussions. My only consolation is that as a woman of prayer, you have gone to be with the Lord. Sleep peacefully until we meet again my dear friend.

What a tragedy! Just six days after you video-called your classmates at our meeting in Grimsby and we had our usual banters, we were in denial when we learnt you'd gone to be with the Lord. We take solace in the knowledge that you lived a godly life. You all loved God and His creatures. You both served humanity with what God endowed you with. We, of the ABH 1979 set shall miss you, Dunni, Funmi and your children. We will never forget you. Rest with the Lord, gallant soldiers; it is well with your souls.

Honestly words fail me. This tragic incident is simply beyond comprehension and one can't help but wonder and ask WHY. Hmmm! We're told to give thanks in all things according to the most High God, I therefore join family and friends to thank God for your lives. May your souls rest in perfect peace.

Oladunni was my medical schoolmate and remained a friend. So sad to hear of the tragedy which claimed the life of the whole family. He was a good man and would be greatly missed.

PAINFUL EXIT ThevLord give and take away. Our dear family Dr.vElijah, Dr. Funmilola, Mojiyinoluwa and Omolayo Kehinde. Your death came to us as untrue news, hoping to wake up from our slumber. It's so unbelievable. How can death snatched you away from us. Your numerous good deeds was nothing to be compared with. Dr. Elijah Kehinde, a complete gentleman that loved his family. He was very nice and generous. A great man and an achiever. Your foot print would forever be felt by all and sundry. Dr. Funmilola Ajibona Kehinde, my sister, a very goodly woman, a person after God's heart, a lover of people. Why did these happened to you? A mystery's yet unfolds. So generous, you are a giver. I remembered our visit to Birmingham, you spoilt us so well and we enjoyed our stay. I would have met with you again last year but because of your spiritual commitment, we could not but yet you still sent your gifts as usual. Even for this year trip, you had made arrangement for us. Now you are no more. Our consolation is that you are with the Lord your creator.Mojoyinoluwa and Molayo rest in perfect peace. Rest in the bossom of the Almighty God till we meet to part no more.Bisi Savage

We have known Prof. Kehinde and his family for many years. He was such a hard worker and tried his best to help people. We will miss his grace, good heart and sense of humour. His memory will live for ever. Rest in peace.

How do we begin to describe the Kehindes and the lasting impression they made on our hearts? To attempt to describe the numerous ways in which they made indelible marks on our lives will be an enormous unending task. Although our time with them was abruptly ended, the memories of our time together will live on. We remember the first time we met Grace Omolayo, her warm smile radiated the room. She quickly warmed up to her cousins and started playing big sister while Mojoyin quietly watched on as her sister easily socialized with their young cousins. Although we could tell that Mojoyin was reserved, even in her quietness, her brilliance and smartness was evident. It was not a surprise when we learned that she excelled exceptionally in her GSCE O level exams. Just like her parents, her success was a challenge and an example to her cousins. "Auntie Funmi" like we call her, was just a wonder to us in many ways. Until her, we had never meant anyone who is as British as she is Nigerian. We remember when she first visited us in Texas, US and we went to the store together, everyone wanted to hear her speak because she was just so eloquent and articulate. Not just was her eloquence admirable and alluring, she had a warm heart and would always look out for others. "Uncle", known to many as Prof, was who we refer to as the best advocate to have in your your corner. Always soft-spoken, humorous, thoughtful, kind-hearted, generous, and loving in all his dealings. His commitment to family and friends is unparalleled, his act of generosity is astounding and difficult to match. Together as a family, the Kehindes touched so many lives. They a have left a Kehinde-shaped hole in our hearts and God knows we miss them so much. But our comfort is this: For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. Wura & Sam Ade Jacobs

Funmi was a dear friend, colleague and a believer. She was hard worker devoted her life to her patients family and Christian beliefs and her church community. She will be missed by all the people who knew her. It is beyond comprehension and with great sadness to all that she will not attend her consultant meeting, her clinics, theatre and church. She was brave, happy, beautiful and believed in the Lord. She was not afraid of death, and said Amen when she talked about meeting her Lord. She knew that she will meet him happy with a very wide smile. RIP dear friend. Sabah Baghdadi Friend and colleague

"Funmi, it is hard to believe you have gone to be with the Lord. My memory of you as one of your classmates was that of a very nice, gentle person always smiling and greeting people with cheerfulness. You touched many people's lives with your life. Rest well in the bosom of the Lord with your husband and children. We will meet again in God's presence where there will be no more dying." Simon Ajayi

A good hearts have stopped beating, good souls ascended to heaven. We part with our beloved family in pain.

"What can we say, how does one start processing the loss of a gem, a rare and unique human breed. A loving soul. How does one contemplate your love for all those around you! The death of the children and your husband as well is just too much for one to bear. It is very painful to the marrow, but our consolation is in the sweet memory you left behind. Keep sleeping in the blossom of your creator along with Mojoyin, Grace and your husband. Aunty Moji"

Iku da oro, iku seka,iku fo sika sile. O mu oloore lo. Words cannot convey the gravity of this loss or the sorrow in my heart. You were with me until 9pm in the evening just a day before you travelled. I had to send you away to finish your packing. I never knew that would be the last time I would see you. You and your children were not just our beloved friends, you were like a second family to us. You were a devoted wife and mother and you were God-fearing. You were also an accomplished and esteemed Doctor. You combined all these roles with grace, compassion and humility. I will miss you coming round for a chat and I will miss picking up the kids from school. I will miss our long conversations, sometimes over the phone whilst sipping herbal tea. I will miss playing Ludo and Snakes and Ladders with Omolayo. Oluwafunmilola, Professor Kehinde and your beautiful daughters you will forever be in our hearts. Rest in peace all of you. Mrs Bola Williams and family.

Funmi,this was definitely not the plan , but God knows best. I know you are all resting in the arms of the Lord. I will miss our daily phone calls, your counsel, the prayers and bible study.I will miss Grace's singing,Mojo's amazing technical skills and Prof's wit. You were an amazing sister and friend. I was going through your last text to me and remain comforted by the bible passage you shared .Sleep on beloved ones till we meet to part no more.

PAINFUL EXIT

kavita

Fumni appears like a beautiful bird who perched in my life and I was able to admire her in various ways and share her smiles and laughter. She may have flown away but her memories remain with me, which bring lot of calm and soothe. Innocence of Grace and her merging with the moment whilst running around in the garden blowing bubbles on 5th July’17 was one of the most beautiful evening I had enjoyed with Fumni and her 2 beautiful daughters and mother. I feel fortunate to be able to enjoy a delicious meal cooked by Fumni on that day which was just 2 days prior to her last travels. I thank Fumni, Mojo and Grace for the beautiful moments I have shared with them. Mojo’s quiet composure and unassuming ways of helping both her younger sister with the presentation on Astana and her mother with setting up of the dinner was just a reflection of great love and care which existed in the family for each other and was extremely soothing to watch. I wish and pray their ascension to a place of true bliss. Amen
