Dad, we love you and surely missing you already by
Dear Dad,
Your passing this morning was the end of an era here on earth and a new dawn for you in the bosom of your savior. You fought the good fight of faith and held on to the very end. I am impressed by your zeal and will to live when I spoke and prayed with you yesterday shortly before you went into a coma, only to wake up into the loving embrace of your savior. Adieu Dad, love you, miss you and we'll see again in the presence of our Lord and savior.
Rest in Him
Your Son, Tunde
Papa Jay by
I called him Papa Jay, he called me mama T and I really loved his personality. He was a very intelligent man, well informed and accurate. He had so many stories to tell and he had a way of wisdom about him. I'll surely miss you Papa Jay, all the jokes and laughter, all the stories at the dinning table....rest peacefully, pain is over now.
Big daddy by

i call him 'd map' by
I use to call him d map among other things becos he seem to know everywhere and everything.my husband use 2 say if he has to be on d seat of 'who wants 2 b a millionaire' and he has to call a friend to answer any question dt its only my dad he can call cos he seem to know something about everything. The family calls him 'd brain',cos he has answers to almost everythng. Dad was a father,a disciplinarian,a very honest&God fearing man,he says things just d way they were.oh!Dad was fearless even to d painful last moments. Though I practically watched him depart but I still can't believe my dad is no more.I'll miss him all my life but our greatest joy lies in d fact that he made heaven at last. Sleep well gallant soldier,u were a brave man. I love u dad-Ireti
speak2andrew by
people say i look like him with appearance and character, i always disagree because we fight a lot. we both fight and disagree to later come back to an an agreement which usually take time between us.
my father,
he is may father, my only father who give me the opportunity to join the john's family by giving birth to me and brought me up in God's way of life and also give me opportunities to do most of what i can find myself doing today. thank you my father. my wonderful father.
my mentor,
he is my mentor, and my best teacher. if you did not accept what he is teaching you,you will come back to meet it again in life which you might not have the opportunity again. once you are read to learn he is ready to teach cause he is a teacher.
my advocate,
so many time he has advocate for me which marvel my imagination. one day we when to buy a generator for the church Alabukun ni Isreali. in the process of buying the gen. i touch the mobile phone of the generator seller, & after we bring the gen to church, the generator seller send after us about 10people to arrest me, cause he say; the boy steal my mobile phone. i don't how to get out of this but this is a serious mater, but he tell the generator seller i know my SON very well & there is nothing you can do about it because my SON did not steal your phone. to cut it short he bring me out of this mater.
not only me that he advocate for but also for more that hundreds of people.
my friend,
my father is my friend, i didn't know this until the very last hour i spend with him before departing from us. i was with on 30th may 2010 till around 8pm in evening. we talk and we are happy because he clap for himself because he is able to urinate & shit. this he can't do for days, but when am with him & he is happy he did it. & i let him.
before getting home i was called that he is in coma which he never come out of it.
i was the only one washing him through the night & in the morning around 11:30am he gave his last three dip breath sounding very loud one after the other every 5-7sec.
i can't cry because i was still washing him and speaking to his ears, telling him not to give up, but shortly before he was in coma, he once told that everything he can not do was not he fort.
so he was not he fort that he gave up.
YOUR SOUL IS SURELY RESTING IN JESUS HAND.
I LOVE U.
