Lekan shared that as they honor her memory, they are also celebrating the meaningful life she lived, assuring that she will forever hold a special place in their hearts.
“It is hard to believe that it has been a year since you left this world. The pain of your absence still lingers, and not a day goes by without the thought of you. You were more than just my wife; you were my anchor, my strength, and my constant companion in life’s journey.
You were a beacon of light in our home, a woman of deep faith, and a prayer warrior who interceded for our family through every challenge. Your unwavering belief in God gave us all strength, and your prayers formed a protective covering over our lives. In you, I found not just a partner but someone who always had my back, lifting me when I was weak and cheering me on in every endeavor. You truly lived the vows we exchanged, supporting me in sickness and in health, in good times and bad.
Your love and devotion to our three sons was unmatched. They miss you more than words can express. You nurtured them with a rare balance of discipline and tenderness, always encouraging them to grow into the strong, thoughtful men they are becoming. They often speak of you, sharing memories of your wisdom, your warm hugs, and your ever-present smile. Though your physical presence is no longer with us, your spirit lives on in them, guiding them through each day.
There are moments, quiet and still, where the silence in the house feels too loud. In those moments, I feel your absence so deeply. But I also feel your love, and it comforts me to know that even though you are no longer here, you are still watching over us.
As we honor your memory on this first year of your passing, we are not just marking the end of time, but celebrating the beautiful, meaningful life you lived. You will forever remain in our hearts, your legacy of love, faith, and strength etched into every corner of our lives.
Rest well, my love, until we meet again”.
