                    Mum was one who never forgets a birthday and unfailingly posted our birthday cards
                    despite numerous attempts to convince her of the merits and convenience of text
                    messaging. Mum in response said the words of a text message pales in comparison to
                    the poetry  and  sentiments  expressed  in  a  conventional  card. She  was  a  kind,
                    empathetic doctor who also knew how the threat of an injection can encourage a
                    young patient to eat – my younger sister can testify to this!

                    She was the perfect house guest who always finds ways to help out whenever she
                    visits. Humble and unassuming in spite of her achievements, it is difficult to imagine
                    mum not been around.

                    Mum, you  ran a good race; and have now passed on the baton to us.  Au revoir,
                    mum.

                    Till we meet again.

                    Mrs Adeyinka Asagba





                    The love of a grandma is unique. God must have given grandmothers to us to liven
                    up our lives, to make our lives more complete, to make us well-rounded and better
                    human beings. She played a big part in my childhood and adulthood. The times she
                    would give me money for my birthdays even when I was in the UK, yearly birthday
                    cards (till she started to forget) I’ll cherish that forever. She would always call and
                    ask about school/university and ask me about my future.

                    One thing about my grandma is that she was very independent which I will always
                    value.
                    She would always insist that she’ll take herself to the shopping mall or we should
                    leave her in the shopping centre and pick her up later but she’ll always return with
                    something for all of us.

                    Generous, caring and supportive.

                    She taught me a lot about love and the meaning of family. She has never been just
                    ‘my grandmother’, but a guardian, a friend and an inspiration. We love and miss
                    you dearly.

                    Our grandmother  was  a great  woman who lived a life filled with  kindness and
                    generosity.
                    You may  have passed on, and I know you are  in a much better place, but we’ll
                    always remember you. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, including your
                    sacrifices, thoughtfulness, and affection.
