TRIBUTE TO A WONDERFUL WIFE OF CLUB SELECT – MRS ABIMBOLA EDWIN
We recall your versatile and logical contributions to issues amongst the wives of this great club. Many times, you volunteered to handle programmes and even spearheaded procedures to ensure sound health of members. Your passion and devotion is unquantifiable.
Your actions demonstrated to us that stony and thorny situations can be positively reversed with atmosphere of peace and understanding. You existence showed unequivocal tolerance, patience, prayerfulness and forgiveness when necessary.
The legacy of hard work and honesty displayed will definitely live with us for a long time. Much as we could not stop your untimely demise, we know that you are with the Saints Triumph chanting Halleluyah before the throne hence we refuse to mourn like those without hope, but rather thank God for your life. We shall surely miss your valuable contributions and commitment even at odd periods.
Adieu, the woman of appealing beauty;
Adieu, a committed, loving, brilliant and loyal member
We love you but God loves you more, sleep on beloved in the bossom of the Lord.

The Oluitan Family

A RARE GEM GOES HOME
Our Sister and friend Mrs. Abimbola Afolake Okor-Edwin was Former First Lady of the Prestigious Club Select a duty she performed diligently and with all sense of responsibility. She was welcoming, accommodating, respectful and would always take into consideration the opinion of all other members.
Every member more than anything else, agreed on how much fun she was to be with. We all remember the lovely personality she had and exhibited.
We always look forward to meetings at her house where she cooked delicious dish with heart and soul and would ensure that everybody was adequately taken care of. In her usual manner, she would keep on asking ‘s-e-e-w-a’ meaning (hope you’re fine ?)
Our sister was a devoted family woman gave her all to ensure the comfort and safety of her immediate and extended family. She was also a spiritual mother to many members of her church. She was also a counsellor on parenting.
She attended the last monthly meeting we held her trip, little did we know that it would be the last time we would see her. Although she was quite active on the platform, there was no hint of her passing on to glory.
A writer wrote,
“Death is graduation, When we are taught all the things we came to teach, learned all the things we came to learn, then we’re allowed to graduate, “This is to say you have completed your task here on earth.
Your demise is a great loss, and the Women’s wing of Club Select will sorely and surely miss her. However ‘precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints’.
We pray that God will give the Members of the family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
Sleep on beloved till we meet again and part no more.
Her memory lingers on. Goodnight.

Mrs. E. O. Randle
For and on behalf of Club Select Ladies.

MY TRIBUTES- Mrs. Abimbola Afolake Edwin was a fantastic and careening mother to so many people. I remember vividly how nice she was to my daughter when she was allowed to do her Industrial attachment with the family factory some years back. Honestly every member of my family still finds it difficult to belief that you are no more. We bid you farewell until we meet on the resurrection day.

With rude shock we received the news of your death.
A pleasant and an amiable personality you were. Cheerful, radiant, you relate well with all and sundry.
You were a dutiful and a very supportive wife. You were a caring mother.
We never expected that it was going to be that brief and expectedly, you did not bid us farewell.
Adieu Abimbola our dear Sis. By your exit, you have created a vacuum that cannot be filled.
May your soul rest in peace. May God comfort your husband, children and your other family members. May God grant us the fortitude to bear your painful exit.

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS
I and my wife received the news of the home call of Mrs. Abimbola Afolake Okor-Edwin, the wife of one of our Club Select Elder with great grief and sadness.
Although she re-located to America with her family quite a while but we were not aware of her illness. Notwithstanding, we all know that God Almighty knows best and our times are in His hands.
Mrs . Abimbola Afolake Okor-Edwin was a woman of substance, virtue and excellence, an accomplished and positively focused woman who was steadfast in her belief and faith in Almighty God.
Mrs. Abimbola Afolabi Okor- Edwin encouraged, care loved and respected everyone whether rich or poor, the young or Old. She was very charming and always smiling. Her charm I suspect was in her simplicity which we believe was based on her electric understanding of human nature and Christian love.
Mrs. Abimbola Afolake Okor- Edwin easily won your confidence and trust. In the period that we knew her, especially in the women group of Club Select, she brought succor, hope and encouragement to all.
Her life was exemplary and she affected the lives of many positively. Our thanks go out to her beloved husband Elder Okor-Edwin for his unalloyed care and love for a wife who loved and adored him without doubt, the passing of madam has brought great sorrow and sadness to you and your entire family and to us in Club Select.
We must take solace in many attributes of this distinguished woman especially in her life of service to God and man.
We this tribute, we convey our sympathy and pray for her Eternal rest and God’s strength and protection over her family in Jesus Christ Name, Amen.

Chief and Mrs Ayo. Randle
Club Select.

For Abimola Okor-Edwin RIP

We (my wife & I) had been family friends of the Edwins from way back. Our association and friendship later became even more solid when we all found ourselves in Club Select of Nigeria; the group known for nothing else but "oneness & care"

We (my wife & I) cannot forget in hurry the hospitable nature and character of Abimbola who left no one in doubt as to the amount of love, respect and care she had for her husband Victor, the children, grand children and all those within her extended family and associations

Bimbola had a quintessential personality, always willing to render a helping hand to whosoever came her way. All of us will miss her but what can we do? We have to take solace in the fact that she lead a good life and she put her footprint on everything she touched while alive. The Jakande Estate CCC Catherdral will miss her just as we also will. May Mother In Celestial Abimbola Okor-Edwin's soul rest in perfect peace. Amen

Olusola & Adejare Ajiboye (Mr & Mrs)

The news of your departure from this earth sounded unbelievable but came to be true. Your life of love, kindness, simplicity, humility and devotion to God can not be forgotten.
You are one in a thousand women that walked within the Christian ethics.
May the Lord Jesus Christ comfort our friend Victor, children and family.
Rest in perfect peace of God till we meet again to part no more.

Abimbola, Your death is a hard and tough nut for me to crack. I am still in total disbelief and utmost shock. But , I just have to take it as "Will of God" which neither I or anyone can question.
Where do I start from? Is it our journey dating back to our youths in Mayflower School Ikenne, Nigeria? Or, the great influence you had on me when I was faced with a choice of husband. It is not a gain-saying to mention that with your God given wisdom and foresights, you were the architect of my marriage today.
Bimbo, I am truly blessed to be among people who knew you that can share in your goodness, character and generosity to humanity.
The qualities, lovingkindness and unblemished personalities that you exemplified cannot be measured or be overlooked. You were family oriented, industrious, principled and a dignified human being .
Bimbo, I spoke with you just few weeks you passed on. Little did I know that, that would be the end, I would have poured my heart to you in appreciation of your goodness.
Bimbo, you were a rock! Above all your commitment to service of God is unmatched.
Words cannot express how much you adored your family. Your legacy is worthy of emulation and the good example you left behind shall not perish. " A good person never die but lives on"
Bimbola, my sister continue to rest in the bosom of your Lord till we meet to part no more.
ADIEU!!!

Mrs. Bimbo Edwin was a caring friend blessed with Godly wisdom that she readily shared. She was easy to talk to and always had a smile that made her very approachable.

I met her back in my high school years in Mayflower School Ikenne and had the privilege of meeting her and her family again through a mutual friend a few years ago. I got to know her again as a woman after God's own heart, as a wonderful and loving wife to her gentle husband, as a loving and doting mother to her wonderful and very well accomplished children and as a generous friend who was exceptionally warm and welcoming to my family anytime we visited Lagos.

"Maman-T" as I fondly referred to her, will indeed be missed by anyone that had the privilege of knowing her in her lifetime. Her untimely departure has definitely left a gap in our collective hearts.

I pray that God will uphold the family and friends in this time of bereavement, as only He can. And may God grant my friend, Eddy and the children, His consolation, His Grace, His Peace and His wisdom as they navigate through this very difficult time and may her soul continue to rest in peace... Amen.

Shock, sadness and utter grief are words that merely try to, but do not totally, express the total disbelief, loss of words and completely unhappy state which the death of Mrs Abimbola Okor-Edwin plunged me, my wife and entire family. She had a warm disposition, was friendly to all who met her, and had a religious calling that charmed many who met her in her lifetime. In our Club, Club Select of Nigeria, she was friendly with all members' wives. She would be greatly missed by all the members of Club Select of Nigeria and our wives. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen. Alhaji and Alhaja OM Bakare and Family.

We (Dayo and I) received the news in shock as we had last seen and spoken to her via video chat 2 weeks prior, she looked so full of energy, excitement and happiness. When she stepped into any room you felt her presence and energy, she was such an amazing Aunty to us all and I remember how she made sure myself and our daughter were okay last time we visited. I know she will continue to watch over us all. My deepest condolences to the Edwin family & I pray for strength during these times. Rest in peace Aunty

BIMBO, My Dear Sister,

My body temperature is very low and my heart is heavy with worries as I write this TRIBUTE about your person.

I am unable to synchronise my body with my thoughts. It is difficult for me to think and to believe that the news I heard was true that you are no more with us in this sinful world. I am reluctant to write about you in the past because the whole scenario appears scary to me.

The news of your departure came suddenly, it was rude and shocking, almost unbelievable. How can the sun ECLIPSE so soon? LIFE! LIFE!! LIFE!!!

We related for close to three decades. I am good at studying and understanding peoples psyche, maybe a gift of nature. You were a very hardworking lady, loving, dedicated and devoted wholly to a family cause. I knew you for speaking the truth and being upright all the time. Your closeness to God and application to duty were never in doubt. You worked and toiled tirelessly like a man and I thank the almighty God who crowned your efforts all along. Your reliability and courage in making strategic decisions have never been in doubt.

Bimbo, I cannot look at you straight in the eyes even though what I see is your picture, a replica. I have never been this devastated. Please sleep well until we meet to part no more.

From:

Segun ADELANWA Esq.

We received with great shock the sad news of the passing unto glory of our dear Mrs Abimbola Edwin. It is indeed saddening that the cold hands of death at this time snatched our beloved Mrs. Abimbola Edwin, an epitome of humility and elegance with the milk of human kindness. Mrs. Abimbola Edwin and her beloved husband, Mr. Victor E. Edwin have been consistent partners and benefactors to DOAM Foundation and have silently contributed towards improving the lives of the less privileged through nutritional support to impoverished, vulnerable and abandoned children.We are however, consoled by the fact that she touched lives during her lifetime and provided opportunities for the less privileged and abandoned children to pursue their dream. Mrs. Abimbola Edwin may have not known the impact that her charity has had on lives; however her legacy will continue to live on!Our condolences and prayers are with the beautiful family and the children. We pray that you find the courage to stay strong during this trying period.For all you have done to the less privileged children, DOAM Foundation remains eternally grateful and will miss you immensely.Rest well in the bosom of our Lord!Prof. Obinna L. ChukwuChairman, Board of Trustees
