In loving memory of Sister Ugochi Udochukwu Henry-Obialo

In Memory of Sister Ugochi Udochukwu Henry-Obialo who dedicated her life to the service of God and humanity through her exemplary christian life and who touched many lives by her smile, love, compassion, generosity, kindness, humility, selflessness, comportment, faithfulness, discipline, friendliness and peaceful disposition to life.

I wish to express my sincere heartfelt condolence to my friend, and colleague Henry Obialo, my former school mate Mary Helen, and to the entire Nnadi family at the passing of Ugochi. Revelation 21:4 states "And God will wipe away every tear from your eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain..." Ugochi has lived a life of service to the Lord. We will miss her. Let all of us who she left behind be strengthened in our faith and continue to run the race as followers of Christ in all righteousness. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14. We have hope because "God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus." Ugochi rest in peace in the Lord.

Ugo, it seemed like only yesterday when I sat and stood by your side as you taught me all I today know in my professional banking career. You took me under your wings and led me, a naive, young man, struggling with the challenges of work and life, through the tough times. Even while in bodily pain, a few weeks before you passed on to be with the Lord, you were still admonishing me on the 'real value of life'. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Like Apostle Paul, I can only now say, "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"
We'd miss you but we are comforted with the fact that you have gone to a better place.

Yugo!! I cant believe you are truly gone! I shall miss your wise counsel, your gracious words and above all I shall miss you sorely!!

I know you are with God and it comforts me. You were a true friend and I will never forget you. Even when you were far away and in pain you still found a way to comfort and encourage others.

Yugo, you were a true gem!!! Rest in peace, my love....

Ugochi, it seems hard to believe that you are gone so soon.What a life and what a world! You were a sister, a friend and a colleague any one who knew you would always wish to have. I remember vividly your sisterly encouragement, your cheerfulness, your radiating smiles and above all your commitment to your work while at the bank. Though gone, you still live in the minds of those whose lives you touched. I am one of those people. My consolation however is that you knew Christ, and what is more, you are now in the bossom of our Lord where the pains and meaningless agonies of this mortal world are missing. We will meet you again, hoping to part no more.

What sadness filled my heart when i learned of your loss. I know no words of mine can take away the loneliness and heartache of this time. Still, i wish Bro. Henry Obialo and the Nnadi family God's grace and peaceful moments that can gently see you through this very challenging period. Ugo was full of life....though I met her about a year ago. She helped me re-discover myself, and taught me one of the greatest truths "to thyself be true". Ugo stood out in everything and everywhere she went. She will be missed greatly. Nevertheless, we take solace and consolation that she is in Glory with the Lord, and in a place where there sorrow, pain, crying, sickness, death does not exist, and "soon and very soon, we are going to see the King of Glory", and meet with her. REST IN PEACE, REST IN PEACE MY SISTER.

I also want to extend my sincere and heartfelt condolence to the entire Obialo family in the US and Nigeria who are also grieving. I pray that God will comfort them and grant them the grace to bear this great loss of their daughter-In-law.

I have been numb to your passing. So, to speak about you in the sense of being gone leaves me without words. In my mind, you are still here with us. So, when that time comes when it finally clicks, then I can say what it is my heart feels. But for now, know that you are still here with me....I can never loose you.

I still remember the day I heard the news and the sadness I felt inside. Your cheerful disposition and caring attitude to others cannot be forgotten. I am consoled by the fact that during our last telephone conversation, you confessed CHRIST as LORD. I am consoled because I know you are in a better place where pain and sorrow do not exist.

My heartfelt condolences to Henry, the entire Obialor and Nnadi families. May the LORD comfort, strengthen and uphold you all.

Ugo, rest in peace in the bossom of our LORD forever.

Goodbye ugochi, you left behind those who will always remember your compassion and loveliness.You lived your life like a candle in the wind, never fading with the sunset. Your candle burnt out long before. The impressions you left in our lives never will. Thinking about your goodness will always bring me to tears. Words cannot say the amount of joy you brought to the work place when we worked together at Rivon clinic. All I can say is that somebody like you belong to heaven. Henry, the Obialor and Nnadi families, take heart, you are not alone.

Life, like they say is very transient.The first time I set my eyes on Ugo,I thought, hmm Henry has found himself a lovely wife. I delayed my trip to the Uk so as to attend the solemnisation of their wedding in 1999.That beautiful face I saw on the wedding day is what I still cling on to and will still hold onto. Henry, the Lord is your strength and I believe his grace will consistently be sufficient to see you through and his peace which passeth all understanding will be with you always. I am also extending my heartfelt sympathy to Ugo's family and pray that God will grant them the fortitude to bear the loss of their beloved daughter. May her precious soul find rest in the bossom of the lord. Amen

Man Alone,
I remember our times in Owerri, we had no cares in the world. We your friends knew from day one that you and Ugochi were meant for each other.

It is difficult to believe that Ugochi is not here with us, she was sister and had a smile that cheered one up even in the most trying of times. Like an earlier comment, she was beautiful on the outside and inside.

We take solace in the fact that she is resting in peace in the bosom of the Lord.

Alone, please know we are with you and have you in our prayers.

Ugo,
You were to me a sister and a friend so dear. Even in your state of health you were the one giving me the words of encouragement i should have been giving you, you were a brave child indeed, full of wisdom giving the right counsel to those close to you, you had the right comportment for every circumstance you found your self in.
You have given me a lot of grief to deal with but i believe the good Lord will see us through.

I know you rest in the bossom of the Lord and that makes me to ask "oh death where is thy sting oh grave where is thy victory".
I will miss your wise counsel and true friendship. I have indeed lost a sister.

REST IN PERFECT PEACE

Ugochi was an embodiment of womanhood and she represented good virtues. She was honest, caring and touched the lives of those that crossed her path in a positive way. Most importantly, Ugochi loved the Lord and she lived the life of a good Christian.

Though she will be missed very much but, I have no doubt that she is now where every good Christian yearns to go at the end of our earthly journey. Let us take consolation in the fact that in 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-14, we have hope because “God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus”

It all seems like yesterday when I attended your wedding to celebrate with you and Ugochi. Coping with this grief must be a great challenge but I trust the good Lord to be by your side to lessen your sorrow and pain.

Ugochi, may your soul rest in the bossom of Lord, Amen

Ugochi you were one of the most wonderful poeple a pastor would desire to have as a congregant. I remember your dedication and desire to learn about God: it still excites me - the love for God that you displayed - so sincere and so pure. I remember your desire to have children - and how you took care of other peoples children and took their responsibilities like it was yours; I remember your giving heart; I remember you in the hospital - how you'd strap the headphones around your head to listen to tapes and messages over and over. I remember your zest for life. They had given you up to die, but you refused to die - it was not time to leave this world. I remember when you said, 'I am not afraid to die - it is not dying,it is meeting with the Lord, when it is time I would go, I am not afraid'. On Friday 20th July,it was time and you slipped away. I wish differently; I wish like many others you had stayed, I wish you... but that would be totally selfish. The bible states, 'for me to die is gain' (Philp1:21)- YOU HAVE GAINED. One day, we'd meet again, from the signs of the time, that day is not too far away. I know God would take care of Henry- it would be tough, but God has made preparations and he'd be ok. I know God would take care of everyone to whom your love meant the life. On the behalf of the entire House Of Grace family, we rest in His wisdom and say, till we meet again, keep cheering amongst the cloud of witnesses. Amen!!!

Ugochi dearie,
It hurts to know you are gone. But to know you are resting gives some sort of consolation. I never imagined it would end up like this. I looked forward to a day when you return home totally healed. I already had a picture in my mind how I'd lift you up and dance round. But it is not so. I patiently waited for when you'd give birth and I'd dance like mad.

A lot of things we do not understand, but one thing i am rest assured about is that you are definitely with the Lord ersting from all your struggles. I know you are laughing cos you are happy.

Down here, i wish we could have you are enjoy fellowship like we use to do. You were always there, ready to give and hold back nothing. You stood by me as a friend, you were a friend in deed. A rare Gem you were.

But certainly, we will meet to part no more.

Rest in peace.

I have been thinking for the past month since your husband, brother Henry told me to post a comment on this site "Lord, what do I say? What do I tell someone who just lost a love one its going to be okay, how do you heal them or make them know days get easier? What do I write to Sister Ugochi who passed so young?" Then I realized if I wait till I have all those answers I will never post my blog on this site....loosing my father 4 months ago only give me the ability to truelly say to both of you IT IS WELL! There will be may days ahead when you seem you can't go on or where it seems there is noone that can help take the pain away or to answer our questions but it isnt so because when all fails God is always there. He may not come when we want but He will always be right on time....I know it seems so far fetched right now but at the end of they day he is just trying to make us understand the reason he takes loved ones from us. Keep steadfast in your search for the answers because I believe one day soon He will make us understand why we lost our loved ones so soon.

I am soooo sorry for your lose, but I do know she is in a better place. From the brief time I was fortunate to know sister Ugochi I saw how much she loved the Lord and don't question where she is. I didnt know you well but the time I meet you, you made me feel as if I had gained another big sister and my husband another igbo sister :) I won't forget that! May your perfect soul rest in peace till we all are reunited again.

Adieu Ugochi:
My Heart is ladden with great saddness to know that you are no-more. The last time that We spoke was in 2004 when you visited New Jersey-USA.
You were a rare and very brilliant gem. I was in the same class A with you at F.G.C Ikot-Ekpene and you were one of the best academically and extracurricularly.
Little did I know in 1988 when we left Ikot-Ekpene, that it was the last time, I would ever see you nor did I know that you have already spent half of your allocated life span then.
However, even in my saddness, I'm still very grateful to God for using you to be a blessing to many lives (including mine) during your very brief stay on this planet earth.
While, I would have loved for you to have stayed a little bit longer in this world, i'm consoled by the fact that you are now in a better place and just like humans, heaven wants the best too and you were one of the best so Heaven has decided to keep you.
We should also rejoice in the fact that you are now in heaven because I know that you would definitely be a good host to some of us when we finally meet again for eternity.

Good night Ugochi. May your soul continue to rest in eternal Peace
Amen!!!

Holy Spirit rain down, rain down,
that was the wonderful song sister Ugochi taught me
the last time we met at the village.
I went home and told my wife about the wonderful
woman of worship i met at the village. I taught my
wife the same song. I had the choir of the church i
pastored then learn the song. It became one of our
church favourite and regular worship songs. The
notebook where i copied that song as sister Ugochi
taught me is still very much in my library.
Though we sorrow because she has left us, i believe
she is joyfully taking her place now among the company
of worshipers around the throne of majesty on high. We
shall see her when we get there, together we shall
sing that song in worship before the Father God.

Ugochi, I was shocked and shatered when I heard of your death on Sept 14th from your sister.

I had prayed and hoped that you will get healed when Thelma told me you were sick but I guess God has the final say.

Rest in peace my dear friend and may God give your husband and your entire family the fortitude to bear the grieve and pain.

Goodbye beloved,
I spoke with you only a few months ago. I didn't understand....and all of a sudden,my heart became so heavy.If only humans had the power to change things..only God really has that, He alone. But you lived a wonderful and fulfilled life the short time you were here with us, a life so exemplery and worthy of emulation. And all the memories started rebounding on me, we travelled together back and forth school at FGC Ikot-Ekpene, including the very first day of school. You copied my notes for me while I was away in the hospital, you were among the bests in school, we visited each others families, you whose kindness knew no boundaries, you whose brilliance shone everywhere, you whose friendliness was "infectious". But finally, my consolation is that you are up there..a better place, with the angels and God. God really has wiped our tears. We really miss you!
Goodbye beloved!

Ugo,

It's not the length of time but the quality of life that really matters. To that extent, death has just struck in vain.

How can I ever forget those times we sat together in the car while you lectured me not only on the dignity of labour but also in my very private life. I remember when I wanted to give up on the love of my life, because she seemed not to reciprocate but your kind words of advice and encouragement made the difference and today I am the better for it.

You gave your whole being to all who came in contact with you, which is why I know that right now, you are dining with Jesus Christ and the Angels; for givers never lack. Adieu, till we meet again.

My heart goes out to Henry Obialo, a strong man indeed, and to all the
Obialo family.

It is a great pleasure to belong to a family of God with people like Ugochi. It is sad that we lost her physical presence, but the confidence we have is that the righteous never dies. Although I didn't really get to know Ugochi in person, but once you're in the family, you are a part of the family no matter the status or location.

For my brother Henry, I am sure the Lord alone is keeping you strong. I have never seen so much grace & strength on a person with such situation like I saw over you. Indeed, God has you in the craddle of His very arms.

I love you. Stay strong.

May I use this opportunity to express my condolence to Henry Obialo and the entire Nnadi family over the death of their wife and daughter Mrs Ugochi Henry Obialo, I met Ugochi many years ago in Owerri through her husband Henry Obialo, at that meeting I noticed that there was something very unique about Ugochi her smile. There affection and love for each other was very clear to anyone that came in contact with them. While ugochi was going through her illness Henry was always by her side, he somehow managed to always have a smile in his face. Ugochi and Henry truely loved each other. Henry understood the meaning of his marital vows, which he examplified by making sure that his wife was always happy even in her pains. Henry is definitely a better man than most of us, Henry stood firm where other men would have chickened out. I ugochi and Henry's courage and trust in the Lord during thier tribulations. There marriage is for sure a marriage that was made in Heaven.I know that Ugochi is now in Heaven, I hope that the Good Lord will continue to comfort, guide and Bless Henry. To the Nnadi family I want to thank you for sharing your lovely daughter with us and for also teaching us how to handle grief with dignity.

As for you Henry - You're the best.
I pray that God would fill that void and continue to comfort and uphold you. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.

Man that is born of woman is of few days on earth and full of trouble. He grows and is hewed down as the flower of grass. He passes away like a shadow without staying in a place.
Dear Ugo, its been a few months you left us but I am yet to face the reality that you've gone.Only God knows why He allowed it to be like this.I am only consoled by what the Bible tells us in 1Thess4;13-14 and 1Cor 15:42-44
that we should not grieve like them that have no hope since we beleive that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory ; it is sown in weakness and raised in power.
Ugo in life you were a great woman, and I know that in heaven you'll also be great. Rest in peace, to Gods glory.

Sister Ugochi Henry- Obialo's memory is written in our hearts.

-2Cor.3v1-3

On the behalf of the Grace of God Ministries, I offer my condolences to the Nnadi and Obialo families on the passing on of our beloved Sister Ugochi. I thank God for her life and that I was fortunate enough to have had her as a member of my church. Sis. Ugochi was a praying woman, a virtuous woman. She trusted God with her life and never gave up on His abundant mercy. She was strong when she should have been weak, caring for others when she should have thought only of herself. Sis. Ugochi was an active member of the church. She sang in the choir on Sundays, participated in Wednesday bible studies, and taught children Sunday school lesson. She always entered the sanctuary with a smile and a word of encouragement. I would also like to take this opportunity to commend her husband, Br. Henry Obialo for standing by his wife through this difficult time. He worked hard to support Sis.Ugochi while she was in treatment and to ensure that she had a proper burial after her death. Br. Henry will be blessed for his unwavering support for his wife in Jesus’ name. Sis. Ugochi was blessed with great friends like Pastor Alero, who labored in the faith till her passing and after. Ms Oje and Ms. Clara who were her bosom friends made tremendous sacrifices flying in from London and Canada respectively to pay their last respects, we salute them for their real friendliness and support. Others that we never met were altogether very supportive. While we do miss our beloved sister, we are consoled Sis. Ugochi has gone to be with the Lord till we meet her at the feet of Jesus, but her memories lingers in our hearts.


Sincerely,
Pastor Charles Adeyanju

I heard myself scream as I saw Ugochi's pix in the newspaper. It was truly a shock. I ve tried severally to write this but couldn't. No one can question God, for He is the Lord Almighty and He loves Ugo. What keeps going on in my spirit is 'in all things give thanks to God'. I thank Him for making me come in contact with Ugochi and giving me all the memories I have of her. I remember the gists,joy and laughters. You are always in my heart. I know that words are not enough to wipe away the tears but I know that God has sent His Spirit to comfort Henry, the Obialo and Nnadi families, all that Ugochi had touched their hearts.Ijeoma Oguachuba

My dear Henry, I am so deeply touched by what I have read about your beloved wife, Ugochi. I never had the privilege of knowing her but can empathise with your loss and pain. Please accept my deepest...albeit belated sympathy and do find some comfort in the loving memories that she's left behind.
She sure lived an exemplary life, may her gentle and loving soul rest in peace, Amen.

Aunty the thought that you are no more is sickning, especially when I remember all your good works and your loving care. Think of a rare gem of a noble origin, think
of a wife, think of a lesson in humility, think of a refiner, an honest specie, a trusted friend, a straight forward being, an overseer, a philantropist, the eye of the blind, a true and zealous worshiper of God, they are sure to be found in you.

Aunty, even though you are no more physically but you still live. You are evergreen in my mind,
I still adopt your philosophy of "service to God is service to humanity" Rest in perfect peace.

Ugoch! It is unbelievable! I called to find out how you are doing but left a voice message when no one answered the phone. I was completely shocked when Henry returned my call shortly and said "Ugochi died yesterday"? Ugochi! This is a great loss but it is well with your soul, rest in the Lord.

My dear Henry, this is a difficult time, but the Lord is your strenght and may he grant you the grace to bear this great loss. We will miss Ugochi and her wonderful personality. To God be the glory...!

Ugochi, it was most touching seeing you for the first time at our campmeeting in Delaware, U.S.A. You were very pleasant to be with. When i later heard about your health situation i was touched to my soul. We did pray. Though you went to be with the Lord still, your faith was a challenge to all that new you. In life you are spoken of only with good memories. Now in death you have found peace in Christ to whom you served with increasing fervencey, even as your faith increased. Though i didn't know you much at all, through my brief contact with you and your friends that now surround me, i see the scripture fufilled in you: "the memory of the righteous is blessed". You had an awesome husband that stood behind you in a way that remains an inspiration to all of us. He surely does grieve. But my prayer perpetually, is that the Lord grant your husband Henry and the entire family peace, just the way i know the Lord has given you rest.

Pillipians 1:21 " to live is Christ and to die is gain" Ugouchi rest in peace in your Lord.

TRIBUTE TO YUGO DEARIE

Yugo my friend, my sister and Mentor. Amazing how time flies. You're etched in my mind like miles so near, yet so far. I was so young in banking, yet you never made fun of my naivety. You painstakingly put me through even when I was such a pain.

Memories of christmas spent together, times of laughter, joy and simple gists had while just chilling on the beaches still float through my mind. Are you really gone for good? One thing I know, friends may come and go, but there'll never be another Yugo to me.

So kind, so loving, so meticulous. Doing it right mattered so much to you. Your work ethic rubbed off so much on me. Detailed, particular, nothing but the best, that's what you were. The little things like honesty, integrity, fairness were of importance to you. You were my sister, my friend, my one true companion. You loved your husband with truth and abandon. Laughter tinkled from the depths of you almost recklessly. Life.....you lived short, yet long in all facets of it. Family meant so much to you, yours and others. Yugo, I still think of you and weep, yet I know you'd want me to think deep and live my life with a meaning in order to join you in heaven at the dawning at Jesus' feet where there's no weeping.

Ugochi Nee Nnadi! So this is really true. I can't believe this! I only heard this afternoon when Carol who saw the pic we all took way back at UNICAL called me to confirm that I knew you. I was asking if you were in town as I haven't seen you in years and was getting myself prepared to go visit you wherever you were staying only to be asked if I was sitting or standing before breaking this news. God where do I start from. This is really sad. Oh my God! This is really sad. I don't even know where to start from. I will have to look for your sis Onyekachi's number. God this is really sad.

Sister Ugochi, memories of you brings me to sorrow as well joy. Sorrow because you are no longer here with us, joy because your short life was very well lived. The life that you lived brought honor to the Nnadi and Obialo’s family as well as touched all whom you met while here very positively. Each time I remember you, my eyes fills up with tears followed by a smile because I can still remember the times that I spent with you and my brother Okey. Echoes of your usual and always encouraging words still ring in my head. It is true that none of us can control the length of our life but the width and depth of our life is within our control. Though your life was but brief, you made immeasurable impression in the lives of all who knew you. My dear sister in-law, rest in perfect peace.

My beloved brother,I did not meet Sis. Ugochi in person but i can see her from the mirror of you. The scriptures tells us in 1Thes:4:13: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. We have a hope and our hope is in Christ Jesus Rom:15:13: Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. This must be very painful and heartbreaking but one thing you will remember and keep in your heart is God knows. Mt:5:4: Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted May God our father and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ comfort you in this time of tribulation and sorrow knowing that this too shall pass. We are all pligrims here on earth and we have a home, our home is where our father lives. This earth is just a dress rehearsal of the promised life that we have in Christ Jesus. Jn:14:18: I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. The Lord God will not leave you comfortless we will come back to you. You will meet Sis. Ugochi in Glory were death will not exist. I thank the Lord for given us our dear Sis. though I did not meet her in this life we shall all be caught up in the Lamb feast in Glory. Let your heart not be troubled for Christ has conquered death on the cross and has given us victory. Because He lives we all live and we will only be absent in this body but be present with the Lord.May the Good Lord keep you and grant your family the heart to bear this absence and sleep of our dear sister, God bless you.

Ugo,

We miss your jokes & your humorous life. All we needed do was to sit and laugh over every single word that comes from your mouth. It is still very hard to believe you left us. We pray that our Good Lord will continue to grant you eternal rest in His bossom. Amen.

I was relieved to have stumbled upon this blog just this morning. It's my privilege to have met Ugochi a quarter of a century ago at FGC Ikot-Ekpene where we shared the same classroom for the next 5 years (how time flies!). Our paths crossed again later at the University, and yet again 8 years ago when she paid me a visit along with her dear husband and spent about a week with me and my family. I now realize how privileged I was to have had that time with her, after all those years, reminiscing about our secondary school days and laughing throughout the night. Ugochi was everything that others have already described on this blog and more. When I last saw her 8 years ago, I was struck by her desire to focus on the most important things in life - particularly her desire to know for sure what God expected of her and wanted to use her life for. She shared several plans she had for ensuring that her relationship with God remained vibrant, and for ensuring that her life made a difference. She shared how much of an impression her younger sister's life and marriage to a pastor (for example) made on her, and how she herself wanted to impact others. I was stunned when she mentioned the illness she was battling with in an email a few years later. Although I appreciated the gravity of the illness, I was not prepared to learn some time later that she was no longer with us. I'm so glad that she didn't live in vain. From all the comments here on this blog, it is abundantly clear that her short life made an impact on the world - from her adolescent days until her departure from this earth. I am glad to have known her and to have been one of her friends.

I have heard so much about this lady and I can say, although I did not know her, that she was a gift. In all things, may His name be praised. Her passing will continue to teach everyone who knew her that this life is short, that we are just passing by, with our eyes set on our final destination.
God has smiled on you, sis Ugochi and I pray that he will continue to smile on Henry and all of us- making us whole and setting us free.
Your soul will remain in perfect Rest!

I express my heartfelt condolences to the families of Obialo and Nnadi. I didn't know Ugochi personally but her older sister Mary-Helen and I were schoolmates at Federal Government Girls' College Owerri, and I remember that she used to talk affectionately about her siblings. Mary-Helen Ndoo. May God Almighty give you all the fortitude to bear this loss.

Well, I fanally got around to this...writing a "piece of my heart." Today was a unique day at church as we celebrated Cancer survivors and rememeber our loved ones who are no longer here...I remembered you, as I often have...it was really, really hard for me after your passing...but I am ok now. You left me a legacy...to stand in the face of adversity...and I did just that. It was such an honor to walk with you, however brief a time we had. You were very courageous, always believing, never complaining, consistently confessing the word. So, today, almost 3yrs after you left, I can truly say...it was worth the journey I took with you...every step of the way was worth it. I thank God for entrusting you to me. As I write the story of my life, there is a chapter there just for you and me...a chapter of hope, faith, sisterhood, courage friendship, suffering, pain, victory, and so much more. I love you and will always treasure your memory. Looking forward to seeing you again, my dearest one.

P.S. Tell Pastor P. hello for
me==:). We miss you both terribly...I am still not used to you being gone...but that's ok too.

My dear Ugochi, I thought has flooded my mind for some days now. I know you are resting in the Lord, but I just wished you were with us.

You were truly a sweet sister, being your best in all you did. All that was needed for your best to come out was, just make you believe in that thing/dream. As long as you believed in it, you gave your all.

So interesting, after 14 years of your departure, I am still missing you.
You were a true friend, sister. You loved and cared for all that came into your sphere of influence.
Rest on my sweet sister Ugochi. We will surely meet again.
Anire.
