This past weekend 2/14/15 would ever remain fresh in our memories, We were shocked beyond words with the news of the passing onto glory of our Mother, Grandmother, Wife, Aunt and Sister Mrs Modupe Ogunbowale Nee Odusanya, Who suddenly without warning, was taken away from us all.

She was a devout Christian, a woman that feared the Lord, a lover of God, a woman of prayer and faith, gentle, peaceful, submissive, full of love, caring, kindhearted, warm, generous and a blessing to a lot of people. She was a loving mother to all, not only to her children and family. She has gone to be with the Lord, resting in the bosom of her creator. Though it hurts a lot, but it was God's time. We feel the pain in our hearts, She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

She was always willing to sacrifice all, even for her Native country Nigeria where she served as a civil servant with the Nigerian Telecommunications for decades, retired and was never paid her Pension until death came calling. Without bitterness but with optimism, The last thing she said to me few days before her death was that she was still hoping that after several years of endlessly filling out countless paperwork over and over as requested by the government in order to get paid her well deserved pension, that one day hopefully she will get paid in her lifetime and I regret that never happened.

Fondly called "SWEETIE" by her sisters and"MAMA ANU" by most, She was married for 54 years until her demise. Her daily activities commenced around 5.30 am when she would get up to pray, among the duties she performed faithfully through most of her life is the role of a nurturer, visiting many family relatives, her compassionate spirit never failed to amaze everyone that came in contact with her, she was a Gem.

She personifies a loving mother, her memories and smiles will live on in our hearts forever. Now that she is gone, Our joy is that she is now resting in the Lord Jesus, till we meet at the feet of Jesus Christ. We all will miss her and would love to give her a memorial and burial she truly deserves, returning some of the love she had warmly shared and spread widely.

Addison Carolyn Bryan, born June 30, 2013, peacefully departed for her Heavenly home on February 14, 2015 following a lifelong battle with childhood brain cancer. Her final days were spent surrounded by her family and she gently passed from this earthly life wrapped in the loving arms of her Mommy, Daddy and Grandma.

Addison’s life was short, but her impact on the lives of others immeasurable. She never spoke a word, yet her voice resounded across the nation and the echo of that beautiful voice will never cease to be heard. Although her illness caused her to endure many painful procedures she possessed strength, perseverance and an ability to overcome incredible odds and physical challenges. With her courage, fortitude and amazing grace she taught us that each day is a blessing to be fully embraced.

With Addison’s passing we remind others that her life is one to be celebrated. Her infectious smile, bright eyes and amazing spirit captured the hearts of all who met her and touched us in ways we will never forget. Though we were never certain how long we would have with her, it was a privilege to have her in our lives for 19 months. We are eternally grateful for the beautiful and lasting memories that were created. She changed us all for the better and though we will miss her dearly she will remain forever alive in our hearts. Given the intensity of love she inspired in others it was only fitting that she chose to claim the day devoted to love as her own.

Addison is survived by her devoted parents, Benjamin and Hillary Bryan currently of Raleigh, NC; Maternal grandparents Lisa Cleaton of New Bern, NC and William Cleaton, Jr. of Charlotte, NC; Paternal grandparents Thomas Bryan and wife Denise of White Lake, NC; Great-grandparents Betty Modlin of New Bern, NC, Peggy Cleaton of Charlotte, NC and William and Barbara Cleaton of Concord, NC; Aunts and Uncles, Pam and Steph Fitzpatrick of Boise, ID, Melissa and Fred Gordon of Raleigh, NC, Stephanie and Paul Russo of Lake Worth, FL, John and Brooke Bryan of Asheboro, NC, Matt and Janet Bryan of Columbia, NC and Daniel Cleaton of New Bern, NC; and Cousins Mecala, Henry, Ethan, Ryan and Lilly Mae. She is predeceased by her Paternal Grandmother and namesake Mary Carolyn (Nancy) Bryan and her baby cousin John Thomas. In addition, she leaves behind many extended family members, friends, loved ones and faithful followers who have provided love and support for her and her parents and have enhanced the quality of life for everyone involved.

A special thanks to all of the doctors, nurses and other medical professionals that assisted in Addison’s care over the last 17 months. We have been blessed and are grateful for those who have shown compassion, commitment and have gone beyond the call of duty in order to ensure that Addison received the best medical care possible.
