ORDER OF BURIAL SERVICE FOR
LATE MR BENNETT U. OKOLI (KOMA)
AGED: 70 YEARS
Tribute To My Beloved Uncle
t's s ll a shock to me that you are no more, it was like a dream when Nneka called me and say that
you have gone, I remember our last discussion when you will come home and stay at list one
Imonth, of a truth, death is a robber and it has robbed us by taking you out from us, who will I call
when trouble arise from our home again.
My daughter Favour asked me when she will see you my uncle that I promised her, that
ques on I could not answer ll now. Shakespeare describe it as a brief candle and walling shadow, and
bible describe a man as a grass that withers and flowers that fades away. It is generally accepted that
death means inevitable and when death play around it expose the believed total anguish and sorrow.
We have no choice but to submit to the will of God who has deemed it fit that your me on earth is
over.
As we bid you Farewell, we thank God for a successful and frui ul life well spend; we pray that
God will grant us the for tude to bear this irreparable loss that has befallen us. To God be the glory..
In the bosom of the lord, rest in peace.
Adieu Uncle! Kachifo Okoli B!! Adieu Koma!!!
Yours Nephew,
Amaechi P. Okoli
Tribute To My Dear Cousin
ow sad it is to write your tribute at this me. I felt shock when I the news of your death
came around. It was unbelievable, yet it was true. The last me we meet in Oko, you
Hwere sound in health, only to now hear of your sudden death. O death where is your
s ng. When I remembered the way you were brought up from your childhood in Oko, in Okoli's
family, I felt sad to hear of your death. You were the only male child out of five females in Okoli's
family that received western educa on in your set at that me. Your departure has created a
vacuum in our hearts but we thank God for he did not leave us comfortless. In any situa on, God
knows the best. We cannot ques on him because death is inevitable, everybody will answer to
the call when the me comes.
May the Almighty God receive you in his eternal kingdom.
May your soul rest in peace amen.
