Thank you for coming into our lives mama... We miss you. You have sown great seeds, and we are glad you did.

May the God of all comfort be with you and your family. One day very soon God has promised to rid the earth of death and all its painful effects- Revelation 21:4. How thankful we can be that a paradise earth awaits all of those who have fallen asleep in death along with all of those who truly love him and obey him. If you would like to learn more on how you and your family can be among those individuals, please visit JW.org and look up the Bible tract "Can the dead really live again?" Please read it with a copy of your Bible.

I didn't know Amope or the Sanusi Family but i read your story and it sounds like she had a big presence in God. So I am decimating this song to her. Prayers with the family.

Dear Sanusi family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Although I did not know Amope and I am coming to you as a stranger, I was very moved by your kind words about her. Truly, this was very well written. I felt as though I got a glimps of Amope's life and more importantly her outstandingly generous character. However, the reason I am writing to you is not only to offer condolences but also to provide comfort from the bible. Death is by far one of the hardest things to cope with. What's interesting to note though, is that in God's original will we were not intended to die (Gen 9:7). God takes no pleasure in us dying nor does he have anything to do with it. However, God does reassure us that there will be a resurrection for those who have passed away. Acts 24:15 reads, "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." and John 5:28,29 reads, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". When I lost my uncle and my grandfather these scriptures made it so real to me that I would in fact see them again. Amope was obviously loved by so many people and she is not only in all of your memories, but she is in God's memory as well. Although I'm sure you both are hurting, take comfort in knowing Jehovah God promises to do away with death forever and that this pain is only temporary. I wish the best to you both and the rest of your family, and I know Amope will be delighted to see you all again soon!

To the family and friends of Amope . I am sorry for your loss. I just wanted to share some encouraging words with you during this time of grief. I would like to share a scripture with you that brought me comfort when I lost my father. It's found at 1John -5:28,29 where it says that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous also the scripture at Psalms chapter 37 verse 10 and 11 tells us that the righteous and the meek will inherit the earth and they will possess it forever how encouraging that is for us to know that we will be able to see our dead loved ones again in the very near future.

Nine days ago on the 15th of July 2015, a very thoughtful woman having read through these few pages, left the most thoughtful, encouraging and uplifting entry on my mother's tribute website. Although it has taken me such a long time to respond, I want you to know that it was appreciated. It appears your scriptural, insightful and most beautiful comments have now been redacted! For that I can only apologise. You see, we have tried to be modest in our tributes and remembrance of a most wonderful person, who also had their human flaws. What mattered most is the way she lived her life. There were a number of outstanding testimonies given by some among the hundreds of people I met at the funeral. It turned out I did not even know the extent of her generosity toward her fellow human beings - those more privileged than her in this life, as well as those who she was able to help with the lot that fell to her of 'the fullness of God's beautiful earth and its fullness'. All those things go to highlight the thinking behind your kind words, and the quality and sincerity of that exhortation, which I have accepted and internalised. The same weekend she took ill I looked after someone older, more wealthy, more privileged, and with a lot more ill health (my mother had none). They suffered with similar conditions. My patient survived, and was introduced to her great grand-daughter before leaving hospital. I miss my mother today, and have missed her daily since she departed to a better place to be with the Lord. I have on a number of occasions picked up the phone to dial her number, before reality struck me back. I am surrounded by her handiwork, her personal things, by things she made decisions on. It is a stage I have to go through, and I know that through the power of Christ, and the work of the Holy Spirit I will be comforted through and through. These things take time. I would consider it an honour if you republish your redacted comments. They are kind, true, appreciated and welcome. Meanwhile, 'Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man' (Ecclesiastes 12:13) Thank you. May His peace be with you and your family
