TRIBUTE TO OUR COORDINATOR 
MRS OLUREMILEKUN STELLA ABIMBOLA 

It was a shock to all of us to hear of your demise on the 19th of July 2020. You were the Voice of Widows in AVMCC. You were sincere, spiritual and God fearing. You encouraged us as Wves of Jesus to be shining and outstanding in whatever we do. Our Husband who is on the throne is watching over us. That we need not fear but put our trust on Jesus Christ. 

Mrs Abimbola saw the Widows as her Family showing that we should always be there for each other. Your bluntness at times created some issues but nobody is perfect as we learn to tolerate each other. You touched many lives positively. 
We shall surely miss you and your humours. 
May the Lord God comfort your Children, Grandchildren and other Family  members. 
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord. 

TRIBUTE TO A TRUE FRIEND

PASSION FOR CHRIST

Oluremilekun  Stella  Abimbola

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints - Ps 116:15           

You were more than a friend to me, you were a true sister in the Lord. Your death was a shock to me but who are we to question God.

I thank God for your life which you lived in serving God and humanity. You had a great passion for Christ, you used your Talent, Treasure and Time in serving Him. You had the ambition of becoming a Priest, but the Anglican Communion in Nigeria do not ordain women as Priest. It never crossed your mind to join other Denomination that have women as Priest.

Your zeal for the Work of God earned you the title of "Mama Labico", (Lagos Anglican Bible College). You were the First Co-ordinator of Labico Ikeja Centre, since inception, till last year when you retired. You Marketed Labico like a Salesperson. You wanted everyone to attend Labico and bought forms for the ones that can't afford. You made sure that Labico Ikeja Centre always come First among the Centres in Lagos. Nobody knew you were tidying up when you gave up the Posts you were Heading saying you want to concentrate on your writing of Tracts for Evangelism.        

The same Lord that sustained you and your children as a Young Widow, will also take care of your Children and Grandchildren now you have gone.          

Oluremilekun (As You wished to be called), you have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith like St Paul. The good Lord will give you what He has in Stock for all His people.

Rest in Peace my good friend till the Glorious Dawn when we meet to part no more. 

May the soul of the departed rest in peace and that the good Lord grant the entire family left behind the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

Mum, you came, you saw and you conquered.Till we meet to part no more

I had the opportunity to meet mama twice in October/November 2010 when I went home for my mother's burial. My first impression was her hospitality. That I was sent to her by her daughter in London is enough. That I am from Ibokun gave her more joy because of the Onibokun's relationship with the Awogboro Royal Family in Ibokun. I was lavishly entertained and my driver was not left out. She will continue to be remembered by her children, her family and those of us who have the opportunity to have met her.

May her soul rest in peace and perpetual light will continue to shine on her.

Rest in peace woman of God

Auntie, RIP

Mama Remi, you are a great woman. You had  been a  man since you  lost your husband my uncle, years back. A great parent and great believer  of God.  May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace in the blossom of the Lord Almighty ,Amen.

My sister, my aunt and my mother. You're the first daughter of my dad.. I know you more than my biological father as I was the last daughter of baba Gidiomola. I miss you alot..

May your soul rest in perfect peace.. Sun re ooo

May her soul rest rest in peace.  I remember  my Dad took me to her house  in 2004 . She was a virtuous  woman 

EULOGY ON Mrs Oluremilekun Stella Abimbola ( Aug. 1939 - July 2020) =====================••• My Aunt - Mrs Stella Oluremi Abimbola (nee Onibokun) was a kind hearted woman who loved everyone. She was a light through darkness. Aunt Oluremi Abimbola is irreplaceable, and the world we live in is darker without her. She saw clearly into the lives of many in the family which was part of her personality that allowed her to understand family members like no one else could. Perhaps what I loved most about my Aunt (Mrs Stella Oluremi Abimbola) nee Onibokun was that she was kind, intelligent, lighthearted, and brave. She was never afraid to try new things. Mrs Abimbola helped many people in the community overcome hard times with her loving embraces and she never failed to light up someone's day. The void left in our hearts after her departure will be a challenge for us all to overcome. I know many of you have felt the light of her generous spirit. I hope that your memories of my Aunt Mrs Stella Oluremi Abimbola (nee Onibokun) will forever bring you warmth as we all walk forward into a future without her. Thank you.

The passing to the Great Beyond of Mama Oluremi Abimbola was indeed a very sobering occasion, albeit providing an opportunity to give praise to the Most Merciful for a fulfilled life. Mama, as reflected in the character and personality of her offsprings, contributed most creditably to humanity through her unparalleled passion for high family and societal values. One cannot fail to notice Mama's 'Midas Touch' in the sterling qualities of tolerance, kindness, honesty, perseverance and all the trappings of savoir-faire, with which her children are imbued. I beseech the Omnipotent to grant Mama's gentle soul eternal repose and to bestow on the entire families of Abimbola and Onibokun the fortitude to bear the loss of the Matriarch of the family. Adieu Mama as you rest in De blossom of De Lord. 

CELEBRATION OF A WORTHY AND EXEMPLARY LIFE

The Onibokun Royal Family is celebrating the worthy and exemplary life of our dear daughter, Princess Stella Oluremilekun Onibokun-Abimbola who has gone to join our numerous ancestors in the silence hall of death, where all of us would surely be one day. Well, it is not the death that counts but the vacuum it always creates. 

You built a name, reputation and integrity for yourself by remaining steadfast on your principles that life is a mission; and not wealth, not position nor power but ability to render selfless service and the legacy you are able to bequeath to the family.

This ennobling value will always endeared you in the mind of those who know you. The world will be a better place for all to live if there are many models and pillars of society like you.

The quality and fullness of our lives is not measured in length but in the love and examples we leave for those we leave behind. Non quam diu, sed quam bene vixeris refert – Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.

Now that you are gone, all I can say is that you will live on always, in our thoughts and dreams, wishes and in our most precious memories. 

Omo alagbara igbi ogbele. Omo epo ru pupa, omo adin so dudu soso, omo a m'omo rubo ki yeye re ya karufin. Omo edun ugbo okun kee feyeeyi rin ki'gi mo baa gun omo hun loju. Onijiku agbe, omo a bobi rere ona umo. Omo olobi ko o pere petu, oito ni obi o, oito ni etu ku. 

Requiesce in pace!!!

A BRIEF TESTIMONY ON THE LIFE OF LATE MAMA OLUREMI  ABIMBOLA (MAMA LABICO)

Mama Oluremi Abimbola was a totally commited, highly disciplined, intelligent,  self sacrificing and fully detribalized Child of God who served the cause of LABICO and humanity without asking for any form of material reward, for so many years. 
       
Her demise has robbed LABICO of a Spiritual Giant that had stood firmly in support of this project, right from the early days of inception under the vision oriented leadership of late Primate Joseph Abiodun Adetiloye and the premier leadership of the late Ven Dr.A.A.Akinade. 

Her shoes are so large that it may take many to fill it. May her soul rest in perfect peace in the bosom of her master, at whose instance she gave all. 
May God comfort the family she left behind and all of  us all at LABICO. 

When the Saints go marching in,  Lord, I want to be in their number.

May the soul of the faithful departed by the mercy of God, rest in perfect peace.

Late Mama Oluremi Abimbola was an epitome of a virtuous woman. A committed, humble, dedicated, God fearing mother in Isreal of our time. She served God and humanity to the best of her ability. Mama, may you receive the reward God has prepared for those who love Him. We'll sorely miss you especially LABICO Course 20 Ikeja. May your soul rest in perfect peace.

ECOWAS TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF MRS STELLA O ABIMBOLA

(THE ECOWAS PIONEER LIBRARIAN AND DOCUMENTALIST)

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) had the privilege of enjoying the services of Mrs. Stella Abimbola as the pioneer ECOWAS Librarian and Documentalist.

Mrs. Abimbola was a very competent professional who rendered indispensable service at a critical period in the life of ECOWAS, an international organization established to lead the integration and development of the national economies of all the fifteen countries in West Africa. In her own unique way, she generated harmony and solidarity among the government and international officials engaged in the noble enterprise of building socio-economic bridges and uniting the different people of the region into a prosperous and peaceful West African community.

Mrs. Abimbola was among the first set of permanent senior staff members whose responsibility it was to design and run the various departments of the ECOWAS institutions. As the pioneer Librarian, she was given free rein to build and manage an ECOWAS Library and supervise the documentation needs of the regional organization. This was an assignment that called for initiative, resourcefulness and much professionalism. Mrs. Abimbola proved to be more than equal to the challenge of establishing a library and documentation centre for the day-to-day needs of the ECOWAS Secretariat, and a regional integration reference library for both government officials and researchers.

She employed imagination, patience and diplomacy in her efforts at creating reliable sources of supply of relevant publications for the nascent ECOWAS Library. She built, very early for ECOWAS, extremely valuable partnerships with the international development community; she established a constant flow of books, journals, exclusive magazines and research publications from many United Nations institutions, the European Union and other regional integration bodies, universities and research institutes in West Africa and elsewhere, etc.

Most of her colleagues referred to her as ECOWAS Documentalist rather than Librarian, because of their heavy reliance on her for retrieving technical documents for routine office work and, even more importantly, for preparing and servicing the numerous ECOWAS meetings, whether at technical, ministerial or summit level. Her dedication and commitment to duty always became evident in the way Mrs. Abimbola would personally visit offices of directors to cajole them to hurry up with the submission of documents for impending meetings; she could be relied upon to anticipate and pack in boxes all reference documents that would be needed at meetings held outside the ECOWAS Headquarters. She was a stabilizing force in the tension-packed conference-secretariat, hard pressed to work magic to bring out, by dawn, English and French final reports of high-level meetings!

Mrs. Abimbola was simply loved by her colleagues. She was affable with a very healthy sense of humour. She was a motherly and mature person who gave sound advice to all those who sought her help on official and personal issues. When news of her passing reached her former colleagues, the exchanges among them constituted a moving testimony to the invaluable impact Mrs. Abimbola made on their individual lives: a cherished senior sister; very helpful; known for her gentle teasing to defuse tension; respectful to all, junior or senior and younger or older; she served God through her work.

Dear Mrs. Abimbola, ECOWAS is ever grateful to the Almighty for your part in setting our regional organization on its feet. May the Lord receive you into His Eternal Home. Amen.

TRIBUTE TO MRS OLUREMI ABIMBOLA

Mrs Oluremi  Abimbola was a member that the Christian Unity Band (CUB) of AVMCC was very proud to have.  She was a gem in our midst hence her demise is a blow to us.

She joined the CUB in 1999 and in a record time of three years, she was unanimously elected as the Vice President, a post she also held for three years. As a member, she was loved by all members, younger or older than her. She was a committed member showing deep interest in the affairs of the Society particularly the spiritual aspect. Her attendance at the Lagos Bible College, where she was a teacher at a later part of her life, was of benefit to the spiritual life of our Society. She will always be remembered for her leadership in the recent Chain prayers organized by the Cathedral in which she showed great devotion and depth. She was committed to the service of God as a lay reader in the Cathedral and in our Society. Throughout her membership of our Society, she upheld and lived up to our logo “Up Unity, Unity Unbroken”

Accounts of some of our members on the Society platform go thus:

“Well, there goes a woman of substance!!! Very unique, with lots of good attributes to emulate.

"She was motherly, caring, supportive and God fearing.”

“A very humble and amiable Sister. She would ask after your family and encouraged regular prayers and praises which confirms her faith in strong love for the unity of the family. She was a virtuous woman. We will miss her exemplary character.”

One admirable attribute that runs through the condolence messages to us is her beautiful smiles with which she receives people indicating love and welcome. A past President recants “I will always miss your sunshine smile. You were a source of joy, pride and motivation to all couples in our Society”.

All members of CUBN were blessed to have had Mrs Abimbola as one of us. We will miss her spiritual leadership, superior character traits and her unique spirit of camaraderie. We commiserate with her children and family for losing such a virtuous woman. May Almighty God reward her labour of love and dedication and grant her safe passage to his side in Jesus name.

Adeiu, Layreader Oluremi Abimbola.
Rest in Peace.

May Mama gentle soul rest in perfect peace, Mama oninure, abiamo bója gbòrógbóró,sunre o.

i couldn't believe it when I was told that she's no more with us. 

Mama was not just a mother to her children only but also a mother to me because she was there for me during my stay with her..

I learnt so many things from her but the particular one is being independent.

What a good and caring mother she was.

MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE!

ZONTA CLUB OF LAGOS 1 TRIBUTE.

Zontian Remi Abimbola joined Zonta International Club of Lagos 1 on the 26th of October 1984.

From the beginning, she confirmed her belief in the core ideals of Zonta which seeks to advance the status of women and girls by advocacy and service. She quickly rose through the ranks first as club Secretary, then later as Director, United Nations, moving on Vice President and eventually President 2002-2004. Her last post was Area 3 Director, District 18.

As President, her landmark achievement was securing the huge plot of land donated to the Club by the Elegushi Royal Family of the Ikate land. She ensured the plot was fenced and two very solid gates erected with ZONTA INTERNATIONAL boldly engraved on them. No one has ever dared to encroach on the Zonta Land to date and we have been able to hold meetings and other activities there occasionally. Zonta Club of Lagos 1
acknowledges that her efforts prevented the club from losing part of the plot as the Lekki axis became a premium area.

Zontian Abimbola was one of our translators at our District conferences where we have Francophone clubs as she was speaking French fluently.

She was a dedicated and hard-working Zontian who was instrumental in liaising with members in other international organizations in the Ecowas sub-region that were based in Lome in the late 80s, which resulted in Zonta Club of Lagos 1 helping to set up the Zonta Club of Lome.

We shall miss her intelligent contributions to debates at the Conferences and Conventions. We shall remember her at the 2022 Convention coming up in Hamburg Germany during the Memorial Service.

May the soul of our dear member,

Zontian Remi Stella Abimbola, Rest in perfect peace.

AMEN

TRIBUTE IN HONOUR OF A UNIQUE MOTHER, LATE MRS OLUREMILEKUN STELLA ABIMBOLA

Peace and warm greetings to you in the most gracious name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

The news of the demise of our late dear mother, Mrs.Oluremilekun Stella Abimlola came to us as rude shock not because she died untimely but because she was such a unique and wonderful mother to us and my very good self in particular.  

I first met Mama over two decades ago at the Lagos Anglican Dioceses Bible College where she was then a student and later Coordinator of Ikeja Study Centre; and I a lecturer and later the Registrar of the College. Ever since, she had left an indelible mark in my life. All through the period I knew Mama LABICO as she was fondly called, she served God and humanity unreservedly.  Her impact goes beyond the four walls of the Church and the Bible College..

When Mummy was alive, it was always rewarding, inspiring, motivating, enlightening and joyful to be with her. She was a godly woman, brilliant scholar, diligent, given to detail, loving, caring and transparently honest. My dear Mama, Oluremilekun Abimbola was at both my Masters and Ph.D. graduations where she stood by me as every good mother would do for her son. Thus, the pain of not having my late biological mother around was doused.

On behalf of my dear wife, Stella and the family, we sincerely commiserate with you sister Bola, your siblings, the entire families of Abimbola and Onibokun. 

May “the God of all comfort” (2 Cor. 1:3), comfort you and the entire family in Jesus name. He will surely give you and everyone our dear late mother had impacted his or her life; the strength and grace to keep on in the Lord faithfully to the very end as she did, in Jesus name. Amen. 

My dear Mother, you are one in a million. Rest in peace at the feet of the Prince of peace till we meet to part no more.

*TRIBUTE TO MRS. OLUREMILEKUN STELLA ABIMBOLA, (Nee Onibokun)*

(28/09/1939-19/07/2020)

 It is with deep shock but gratitude to the Almighty God that the Band of Grace Society of AVMCC Ikeja received news of the demise of Mama OLUREMI  Abimbola on the 19th of July,2020.

  She was the Evangelical Officer of the Society for some years and a Layreader in the church. She was fondly called by various members as Mama ECOWAS , International Lady, Aunty R, and Mama Labico. A kind hearted, peaceful member and mother.

  We pray that your God whom you served fervently in various positions in His vineyard while you were on Earth will reward you accordingly and grant you the crown of glory. We also pray that God will grant your children, grandchildren and the extended family the grace  to bear the loss, comfort the Church, Societies and all she has left behind. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.

Mama's demise is a personal loss to me as I have the privilege of being her go-to person in First Bank whenever she comes around for her transactions. 

We spend a lot of time talking about life in general and faith. Our last discussion some few days before her demise was on governance. 

I regard her as a personal friend and I'll miss her dearly. The moments we shared will forever remain memorable.

Good Night Mama! 

I love you! 

Adieu! 

❤️

Stella Oluremi Abimbola

I'm not sure how to go about this.How can I try to describe someone so real,so special,so selfless, so enduring, so brave in plain old words. Huunh!
The news of your transition came to me as a rude shock, most unexpected on that Sunday morning.You were not sick, not ill,no accidents but the Lord came calling for you to come up to higher service and I can imagine your smile of acceptance. Like a candle in the wind,you were blown away.
You gave all of you to the Christian faith.you were so endowed with spiritual knowledge. A few times that I accompanied you on your various spiritual assignments, your messages were so full of life and impacting. You had this fiery spark of love in you that embraced all you came across.
Focused! that's who you were.No matter what challenges life threw your way,you rode on the waves relying on God your strength. No doubt you've left your mark on these sands of time .You came.you saw.you conquered. Glory be to God 
I am consoled,believing you're resting on the bossom  of the Lord till we meet to part no more .
Adieu! 

Mrs Titilola Jimoh.

I am sure I speak the minds of most who knew her, that Mama Abimbola was a rare gem, a loving mother to us all and a consummate teacher and coordinator whose impact has defined the lives of some of us members of Labico to the point of seeing her as a genuine role model worthy of emulation.
I can recall the day we first met at Labico where she took charge as our coordinator and displayed some of those skills that made her special and endearing to many of us.
She was tough, yet understanding, a good disciplinarian yet affectionate, focussed and upon it all very friendly. Whatever Mama taught us, she made sure it stuck or else no one would get a respite. At the end of it all,it was to her joy  and pride that we all passed with flying colours when we sat for the exam.
Mama Abimbola never suffered fools gladly; we all knew never to mess up with her, yet the love and genuine friendship she ever willingly showered on all often more than made up for any inconvenience her stance could bring.
I can still almost hear her in my head as she would thundered "Shodunke put your bag over there",  in trying to  bring about some orderliness, whenever I attempted to cause distractions by sharing some biscuits and confectioneries during her class.
Even at those words, were always in the belief that they had been received and given with genuine affection that they never caused any ill feeling among us.
Mama Abimbola never failed to show support to us even in our individual lives, I can recall the advice she gave me when I informed her of my plan to start a business to look after the elderly, "Shodunke you can do it" was not just all she said but even went ahead to be a treasured client till the time of her death.
I never knew that our recent meeting would be the last time I would see her alive.  None of us believed death will  to take you this soon. Even at that last time, you never stopped in your usually character of always giving and placing everyone ahead of yourself. I shall for ever treasure the call you made to me 2 days before your death just to pray for me. Such thoughtfulness could only have come from a mother to her child. While our associations may not be that of a blood relative, I believe in you I had a mother and shall always hold you  in reverence as one. 
We shall all miss you, most especially Taiwo Emiola, who had been your care giver in your last days from The Shepherd’s Haven. 
Sun re o Mama  Oluremi  Abimbola, as you sleep in the bosom of our lord Jesus Christ.
 
Rest in peace.

Mrs Abimbola was my favourite Aunty.  She was charming, funny and full of life. I remember her infectious laugh and broad smile. She could always find something to laugh about. She was an eternal optimist If you were feeling sad she could turn your frown into a smile in an instant. She was full of hope and belief that good will always triumph over evil. 

May she  receive her crown in glory and rest in perfect peace. 

My dear wife, (as i am the iyale according to you) hmmmm sign .... the last conversation we had was you saying, you will move in with me as you had no househelp and  we are both widows we laugh so sure at this singular fact. Only for death to come calling to soon. 

We didnt discuss this, but God knows best till we meet at our Master feet. 

So long my iyawo........

A Tribute to my good neighbour of many years.

It is like a dream that you could glide away without farewell on 19th July 2020. I am still in shock. It is said that if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. 
How I wish I could step out of my gate opposite your house and still see you on the balcony to exchange pleasantries and crack jokes. 
 

You were unique in your ways, Highly principled and no tolerance for hypocrisy or any form of pretence.

You made your mark as a concerned neighbour within the Idiroko Estate Community where you lived for almost four decades! 
 

You will be well missed especially at Xmas celebrations.

You have fought a good fight, now resting with the Lord forever.

I pray the good Lord will envelope your Children in HIS LOVE.

REST IN PERFECT PEACE

EBUN ONABANJO

To God be the glory for the life of Mama Abimbola. 

She was a caring individual, anytime I had lecture at LABICO, Ikeja centre, she was always there. She will call to remind me of my lecture with the students.

Mama was a complete Christian, a top notch disciplinarian and committed individual to the cause of the Gospel.

Just few weeks to her demise, she called to check on me during the lockdown. She will surely be missed.

May the Lord grant the entire family fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss in Jesus' name

Mrs Remi Abimbola was a special Apostle of comfort, a woman with a golden-heart, a peace and purpose driven mother who committed herself to every Godly concern around her.

Her contributions to the life and activities of our Bible college can in no way be measured. She totally threw herself to the needs of the College at costs that she never discussed or requested for a refund.

When I was appointed the rector and she got to know my background, she became fond of me;  always praying for me that the Lord shall take the College to a higher height while I serve as the rector. I can boldly say that, if we have a high significant number of women in our Church exhibiting her peaceful composure, there shall be an unimaginable peace in our world as the Church would have influenced her surroundings. 

We will surely missed her encouraging smile and Godly counsel. My prayer is that, those of us that are left behind shall be committed to the faith and caring love that we have seen these servants of God departing emit.

Mummy Remi Abimbola was a loving,  caring and humble personality,  she served God and humanity throughout her lifetime.  I will remember her for her warm smiles and prayers. 

Abiyamo tooto. 

Lord grant her eternal rest and light perpetual shine upon her soul.

My dear sister, friend and companion, Mrs Stella Abimbola. It is painful that you are gone too soon because I believed you were still full of life during the most recent time we spoke together. At any rate God is good all the time.

The memorable moments of love, care and kindness we shared together still linger in my memory. I love you but Christ loves you more.. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord Jesus Christ. Good night.

It was a great privilege to know you, and you imparted to us, true friendship.  May your gentle soul rest in peace with your Heavenly Father  you loved so much.

To Dayo, Bolanle, Bolaji and Biola. It was a pleasure meeting your mum, who is my mother's first cousin and I would say a mother to me too. She was a loving, caring, God fearing mother. Her background was academics / she was an academician.

I enjoyed meeting her at Bolanle's house during one of her visits, I also remember some of my meetings with her at a younger age in Nigeria. She always had the most beautiful smile. She was also a good dancer. I remember her dancing at my 40th birthday party. 

I know that I and everyone will surely miss you mum, my aunty. I know you are now in heaven with The Almighty God. May your loving, caring and gentle soul rest in peace 🙏🏾

I can't forget the first time I met mummy, she was warm, jovial and so welcoming, she told me not to worry she wasn’t like other mother in laws, she saw me as her daughter. She was kind always sending me gifts and accepted me as one of her own. She always had a word of prayer and would always end each call with an admonishment to love each other. She will be greatly missed. 

Gone from our sight but forever in our hearts

A beautiful and cheerful person a bright light wherever she was.

She slept peacefully not to wake up in this world but in the bosom of Our Lord

Thanking God for your life and legacy aunty..

Love,

Sola Fawole

To have known you was a privilege. 

From the moment anyone encountered you, your welcoming smile, your warmth and willingness to embrace me as a wife to your nephew endeared you to me.

As I write this tribute, my memories are flooded with a myriad of images, impressions and imprints of your love for us and those close to you.

Grandma Abim, as the twins fondly called you,  you were indeed an easy-going person: peace everywhere, no dull moment with you.

You accepted me from the time I was married to Buki.

What an extraordinary life in which you have demonstrated how we can live as a family in mirroring your conduct and kindness to me, Buki and the twins.

You never stopped calling regularly to pray for us.

I thank you for the wealth of these experiences, for your life serves as an example to emulate till we meet again in His glory.

Have I known the 16th of July 2020, would be the last time to hear from you, I would have spent the whole day talking to you.

You left with no time to hug you goodbye.

I will miss you dearly.

Sleep on, my beloved aunty,

Sleep on, my dear second mum,

Sleep on, my Conseillor,

Sleep on, my friend,

Sleep on my Bible teacher.

We will meet again on that glorious morning.

Gloria Buki Nzegwu

Tribute To Mama Oluremi Abimbola.

The news of your death was like a d dream to us. We didn't know you would pass on suddenly and so soon,  like that when we saw you dancing joyfully on your 80th birthday Thanksgiving Service. Our Mama in Christ, so diligent, ever so cheerful and amiable. We can not query God, therefore, we do not query your death. We are sure God loves you most. You also loved the Lord your God and this manifested in your love for people. You devoted your life to the work of God, serving diligently in His Vineyard. You will be greatly missed by labico, past and present students.  You are indeed irreplaceable and your legacy will lives on. We pray that God will comfort and console the family, the Church of God and all those left behind. Rest on in the bussom of the Lord your God, till we meet again at the resurrection.

MRS. OLUREMILEKUN STELL ABIMBOLA (NEE ONIBOKUN) 1939-2020

I would like to commiserate with you on the death of Mama Oluremilekun Stella Abimbola. 

The news of Mama's demise came to me as a rude shock. For, she was an admirable model of womanhood. She was dutiful, diligent, thoughtful and highly compassionate. Her stirring reputation as a devout Christian and a disciplined teacher enamoured her to many. She was always ever so graceful. 

I am sure not many would be surprised that she also chose to return to her maker so peacefully while in her sleep on July 19, 2020.

Although she has now gone the way of all mortals, it is sure her impact would continually reverberate in the countless lives who were privileged to have encountered her.

I pray that the Lord would uphold and grant the family she left behind the fortitude to bear this loss.

After the initial shock of getting to her of her demise,one thing brought comfort which was the fact that she knew and served the Lord till the end.

Mummy was a. very strong woman and a strong-willed go-getter who doesn't have room or give room for frivolities. This helped in all her various achievements within and outside the country. She always sees the best in people and encourages us to be the best in whatever you are doing and checks up on you while sheat it..she  cares much for family and those around her as her own ,a shoulder to lean on and a confidant which l believe alot of people can testify to.  Mummy atimes allows you to make certain mistakes so you can learn from it and appreciate life more.

She is a prayer warrior and encourages us to always keep the faith and believe in God as there is nothing without him .l will surely miss the prayer points she sends to me and that voice which is unique .A kind and loving mum always well dressed and her combination on point that also a trait l picked up from her when we were young till now . She always says as a lady you need to be properly dressed and well behaved .Thanks ma for all you did for us all. .

Miss you but the Lord wants you more . Rest well in His bossom .

My Dearest sister, I miss you so much. May you rest in perfect peace. Amen
 

The news of your sudden departure from this sinful world came as a rude shock. You were a widow for over four decades during which you catered for your children unaided. In life you were gentle yet bold, frugal yet liberal and humble. A devouted and practicing chirstian. We thank God that you lived a fulfilled life.

Adieu Remi. 

Mama Mrs. Abimbola. 

You left us quietly on Sunday the 19th of July. You were such a god-fearing woman and a good neighbor very easy to talk to. I will miss your chats from your balcony.

You were also fun to be with and a very good dancer. I know you are now dancing at Jesus's feet. Rest in peace, Heaven has gained an angel. Till we meet again. To the children may God almighty comfort and console you all.
