My dear Mabel, Dear mama Awele dear mama of all the children. You were a darling, you were wonderful, you were caring, you were a giver, you were very vibrant, and you were always the one to keep the spirit high whenever we gathered. You cared for the motherless and indeed you were a mother; you were a sister, an aunt and a friend. January 1st was a date difficult to forget, the entire family came together and it was such a wonderful time. Summer 2014 (August) was yet another precious moment when we had yet another great time together; with everyone,especially the children (remember you told me how delighted you were when you saw Dawn and Bloom charging at you with their sleeping bags because they wanted to spend time with you (as the children are always wont to do). You impacted their lives so positively we all are a happy lot and must be grateful for having you no matter for how short spell it was. In September we had such great time, we ate, drank, danced and prayed and your spirit was such an awesome imbuement (if only we knew it was a valedictory party). Mabel, we love you so much, it is so devastating, so heartbreaking to wrap our minds around the fact that you are gone forever but God loves you more. In all, our God is indeed an awesome and unfathomable God who knows all things and whose wisdom is beyond unravelling. Yes, we mourn but we are assured that as you rest on in the bosom of our Lord and some day we all be meeting again at His feet. Rest on Mabel. Segun Toluhi
