TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED HUSBAND
My beloved, you did not tell me that you will leave me soon. I am still in a great shock because this is not what we agreed upon. We agreed that we will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in grand style, but what can i say when i get my solace from the Lord?
Truly, a limb has fallen from the family tree, but we keep on hearing the voice that says, ‘grief not for me, remember the best times, the laughter, the songs, the good life i lived while i was strong, continue my heritage’. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
My joyful hope is that you are seated in heaven smiling down. Hallelujah.
I miss you my beloved husband.

TRIBUTE TO MY LOVING DAD
When i called you on Thursday evening being 30th July 2020, we spoke at length. You never told me that you were dying and your voice was very strong.
I told you that i will call you on Friday (next day), only for me to get a call about your demise.
I didn’t believe it because you were full of life not up to 24 hours we had spoken. How heartbroken i have been since then.
It is not very often when i find myself at a loss for words. I usually have plenty to say and yet somehow this loss has taken away my ability to speak.
You were an epitome of peace. Your commitment to friendship was great. Your liberality knows no bound.
Sometimes, i look around and try calling your phone number to ask after your health, only for it to dawn on me that you are already resting with the Lord in heaven.
I am convinced that you are not just dead, but that you are there to do something for us until we meet again in the bosom of our lord Jesus Christ.
I will miss you so much.
My father, we love you but God loves you most.
Rest on daddy,
Adieu Nnam
Your Daughter – Mrs. Amaka Nwoye
TRIBUTE TO MY GREAT FATHER
Daddy, the sad news of your demise came to me as a very big shock on Friday. You were sounding strong when i discussed with you on Thursday. I never knew that it will be the last conversation we would have together.
It broke my heart a lot to loose you. If tears and memories could build stairways and a lane, i’d walk up to heaven and bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before i knew it, only God knows everything.
My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow. No one will ever know what it means to loose you.
What is the measure of a man? Is it the amount of money he has? The possession he owns and power he holds? Is it the professional success he has achieved over the years? I don’t believe it is any of these things. The true measure of a man is how much love he gives, how consistent he lifts up those around him with a kind word and compliment. By this measure, my father was immeasurable.
My father was a man who had smiles to brighten your days. He always make you feel good with warm words of praise.
You believe in me as your son, and i am proud to call you my father.
Your joy during my house warming celebration is still very fresh in my memory. I had thought that God would have allowed you to enjoy more, the fruits of your labor, but who am i to question God? He’s will is always the best.
Daddy, you always encouraged me by saying things will always get better(Otee aka o di njo, O dinma). You were always motivating me with words like Onyii, Odogwukaibu, I na’emeihe di ebube etc. Daddy, you were such a peaceful, lovely, gentle, caring, humble and God fearing man.
You have encountered so many road accidents and challenges in life, but God has always vindicated you.
O Lord, in your loving arms i entrust the soul of my beloved father.
Please, let him rest in peace in your loving arms.
I love you dad, now and forevermore
Adieu great & peaceful father, Adieu Ezeugo

TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER
Oh! death why did you hit me so hard? Why didn’t you wait until i come back and see my father?
Sometimes things happen that you aren’t prepared for, but who am i to question God?
Daddy, you’re such a precious gift from above, for us to love and treasure. Even when you are gone to be with the Lord, you will be in our hearts forever.
You loved me for who i was and accepted me for who i was striving to become.
Dads are strong for a reason, Their strengths gives us a sense of protection.
Dad, now that you are in heaven, I know that you will continue to protect me.
I will always love and miss you until we meet again.
Sleep well my great father.
Your Son – Mr. Chukwuma Charles Okpara
