Tribute to MY UNCLE OBI

It is devastating to think that I will never see you again. All I want to say is Thank you. Thank you for being the calm voice in a crisis. Thank you for always checking on me when I least expect it. Thank you for speaking up for us when we’re not there to defend ourselves. Thank you for being a great husband and father to aunty Ochiora and my cousins. Thank you for being a wonderful uncle to me, my sisters and cousins. You will be m i s s e d dearly. Love,

Tribute to a Beloved Uncle

When I think of my Uncle Obi, I think of peace. A firm yet reassuring presence. Memories of visits to the States during my childhood when, before his flight home, he would hand Tobechi and me a bag of coins, the left-over change from all his shopping. I feel the powerful prayers that he lovingly spoke over each and every member of our large family, prayers that I know continue to support us even now. He always had a word of encouragement and a smile to share and that’s one of the virtues I love most about him. Our dearest Uncle, since your departure, we have struggled to reconcile the fact that your time with us here on earth has come to its conclusion. It doesn’t seem right that the world continues moving when you aren’t here. You’ve touched so many with your love, ministry, and the spectacular life you led. You’re priceless. Your kind and ever graceful spirit set the example for us to follow. It’s been an honor to exist in the same space for the time we shared together. We love you so much. Until we meet again.

TRIBUTE TO MY DEAREST UNCLE OBI

Two days after my wedding, I got the shocker of my life, Uncle Obi, I’m yet to come to terms with your sudden transition to glory. Uncle you lived a life worthy of emulating, you were more than a priest, purest in heart, your presence alone was peace and calm, how I'll miss your prayers, my siblings and I often talked about how we enjoyed hearing you pray and wished you wouldn't stop. Ah! Uncle nke'm, does it mean that we won't hear your voice again??? Uncle, but I wanted you to meet my husband and also bless our marriage. I told him how you remind me of don moen for some reasons. I told him that you are an angel in human form. Uncle, I can give anything to bring you back to us. You were a cheerful giver who gave not because you had plenty but because it was in your nature to give. My dear uncle I am so c proud to be called your niece, and I thank God for blessing me with the best uncle literally anyone could ask for.

Thank you so much Uncle Obii for being a blessing to all of us. I never ever in my wildest dream thought I'll be writing this kind of tribute, but who are we to question God. My only consolation is that you are in heaven singing with the angels. We love you so much uncle’m.

Please give mama and papa a big hug for us. Till we meet again on the resurrection day.

ADIEU

Your Niec

YOU ARE GONE, BUT YOUR LEGACY LIVES ON

Words truly cannot express how I feel about your sudden demise from this wicked world. It is indeed like a dream that I hope to wake up from when I heard of your departure from this cruel earth through a ghastly motor accident.

You had an unusual way of touching issue where they mattered most and did it with such finesse that it was clear what outcomes you were seeking to explain.

It is indeed sad that we have had to lose you at your prime but we take solace in the fact that your good works will never be erased; Rest in Peace, Ven. O.D.C.

You are a rare Man of God, humble, uncommon and intelligent priest badly needed to continuously preach the undiluted word of God in His Vineyard.

Adieu my friend, we love you, but God loves you more. Ven.

Tribute to Ven. Dr. Obinna Ibezim

To everything there is a season and time for every purpose under heaven. But this is untimely and came as a rude shock. My wife and I came in from Abuja (from our daughter's wedding) when the news was broken to us. Our happiness turned to sadness. We grieve and are in pain but cannot question God. Our consolation is that you are in a better place of eternal rest. You were always there for anyone who needed your support, service and counselling. You will continue to be in our hearts. May God grant your soul eternal rest as you journey to the great beyond.
