Dear Ogunbowale family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Although I did not know Modupe 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 Modupe’s life and more importantly her outstandingly generous character. However, the reason I am writting 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. Modupe 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 all 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 Modupe will be delighted to see you all again soon!

A tribute to Mummy Ogunbowale:
When a person passes on, it is an opportunity to reflect on who, what and why they are?
She was a Christian woman, a mother in (our)Israel with a strong core value of loving kindness.
To us – she was the one who kept in touch wherever she maybe in the world. A practical demonstration of “love thine neighbour as thine self.
We believe the reason she was who & why she was is due to her core family values. These values are now passed on to the next generation.
We salute you and take up the mantle of your love expression to those around us.
Rest in peace till we meet at the Saviour’s feet in Paradise.

By your fruits you are known. More wind beneath your wings as you rise high into the sky, and as angels of God welcome you. Fear not, your offspring we will be fine, partly due to your good work, and mostly due to love of God. May you celebrate in peace.

Dear Yomi and family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences. I was just made aware of your mother’s passing via an email. Words may not be able to express the loss or pain you and your family feel. My family will certainly pray that you find comfort in this time of need. The bible assures us at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 that God will provide the comfort needed.

Jesus likened death to sleep in John 11:11-14 when referring to Lazarus, which had been dead for several days until he was resurrected/brought back to life. This is in harmony with the thought found in Ecclesiastes 9:5 which shows the condition of those we have lost to our greatest enemy death.

We too can look forward to that same hope mentioned in Acts 24:15, the resurrection. The bible states that we will see our love ones again who have fallen a sleep in death. To paraphrase John 5:28,29, there will be a time for all of those who paid attention to the teachings of the Son of God (Jesus) who was sent by his Father to be resurrected/brought back to life just as Jesus had done in the case of Lazarus.

Based upon everything I read, I can tell your dear mother was a devout Christian. There is no doubt that God who has a name (Psalms 83:18) like no other and who is the Most High has your mother in his memory.

I look forward to meeting her personally after the resurrection.
