Mrs Abimbola Edwin was a wife indeed, a mother indeed, a grandmother indeed and a friend indeed. Knowing her for very many years has been a priviledge for us. She was outstanding in all she laid her hands to do. She was a great sister and friend who was always reliable and forthright, a true believer in God who weathered all storms with great faith in God.

Dear Sister, we miss you and will always miss you. Your hospitality is unforgettable and incomparable. May your great and gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

TRIBUTE TO MRS ABIMBOLA EDWIN, A GOOD FRIEND AND CONFIDANT.
Mrs Abimbola Edwin has lived a memorable life, adding value to the lives of many, impacting positively on the society and serving the Lord to the end.

She was there for our family countless times, offering valuable advices and material support at critical times without holding back. What a heart of gold! This was quintessential Bimbo.

She was loving, forgiving, sincere, kind hearted and vivacious; illuminating any gathering she found herself.

She has indeed died a fulfilled child of God and her light and fondness will always remain in our hearts forever. We love you ❤️

Adieu Bimbola. Rest in the bosom of your creator as he has no doubt sanctioned your departure —Isaiah 57v1.

ABIMBOLA, WE WILL MISS YOU!!!
A precious one from us has gone. Our cherished friend departed without saying goodbye and left us to mourn.
A voice we love is still!
After our lovely heartaches and silent tears, we will always have beautiful memories of years of family friendship.
We take solace in the inevitability of death. Our lives are transient.
Today you are there, and tomorrow you are gone. May God's name be glorified.
Abimbola, indeed we confirm you are a great and committed friend.
'Well done' and sleep well beloved friend.
The battle is fought and the victory won.
Enter thy master's joy till we part no more.
May God give us all (especially the Husband & Children) the courage to bear this irreparable loss.
We will surely miss you!
Good bye!
Mr. & Mrs. Akin Jolaoso

“OLUBUNM’ Mummy Bunmi” As I usually called you.

To a sister so loving, so caring and a devoted christian.
As we have grown up through our childhood years.
The fun and laughter I can always remember.
The activities and things we had done created memories forever and kept us strong even when we could not be together again.

You were always there to lend a listening ear and had always shown how much you care for families, friends, colleagues, neighbors and most especially brethren in the church.

After you left for a foreign land, to see you again was all in my plan and my wife but unfortunately COVID-19 PANDEMIC was the major hindrance to our traveling on holiday to the foreign land to see you.

Mummy ‘Bunmi you tried your best to make people happy.
Though at times your face I longed to see.
You still sent your recent pictures to me to see on my request two weeks before your death.
You called and cautioned me not to stress myself again over anything as God shall do everything at this stage of my life.

So loving and kindhearted...
...very frank, blunt, brave and NO compromise to the truth at all times.
That’s how you’ll always be even in death and even now when I think of you.

It breaks my heart that I’ll miss you, your argument and meaningful contribution to discuss.

I still can not understand but what can I do my dear sister, mummy Bunmi?

You left with NO FINAL WORDS of FAREWELL.
It’s all God’s plan.

How my heart aches no one will ever know, to lose a loved one so true and kind.
I am so glad you were a real sister I am proud of.

I prayed one day we’ll meet again, where the pastures are green and there’ll be no pain, no sorrow of heart, only JOY and LAUGHTER.

I pray the Almighty God will console your dearest husband, children and grandchildren.

May your soul Rest In Peace.

Bode-Buddy Akinlagun.

A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO
MRS ABIMBOLA AFOLAKE EDWIN
(Nee Akinlagun) JP

Hunnnm,
Bimbo as we all fondly call her was too loveable, cheerful, humble and faithful to the end that we cannot easily accept her demise which is so shocking and sad to all of us her friends. Though you're so junior to most of us your friends, but your humility and respectability endeared you to all.

I knew Bimbo since she was a child and we remain close to the end.

I don't need to describe Bimbo to most of us as reliable dependable amiable and hardworking. Dutiful mother of her children and a loving wife and dependable partner to her husband of over 35 years.

Bimbola was a teacher and lover of children and a good business woman who turned everything she touched to money.

I will always remember how you told me to always go and stay to pray with my children during their important Exams both in A-level and The University Exam and you'll say "Aunty mi ti e ba le lo nitori ise, fast and pray for them throughout the week of the exams" A Prayer Warrior per excellence. I cannot forget our time and experience at the Holy Land when we went on Holy Pilgrimage. Oh Bim!!! My heart is too sore and heavy to continue this tribute

Bimbola was a selfless and compassionate woman. A good Christian who loved her neighbours as herself. A go- getter who would usually go out of her way to ask after you and run any errands for you in your distress or troubling time. Your challenges were hers until you get a final solution to the matter. You cannot be unhappy with Bimbo at all because your problems were hers until its over.

There's too much to say about my departed beloved friend and sister from another mother.

How can I ever forget your support and assistance and times spent with me at the weddings of my daughters or even recently at the burial of my mother when you came from the USA purposely to be with me throughout the Ceremonies even in Ondo.

Hunnnm Abimbola. Your departure is too sudden and so unexpected. But who are we to query our God who is HIS OWN INTERPRETER. But one thing I know for sure He will not forsake Victor, your best friend and loving husband and all your children and grandchildren. The Lord will keep them under His wings and watch over them always.

ABIMBOLA AFOLAKE aburo mi atata you're too good to be forgotten. May God's Perpetual Light always Shine Upon you.

We love you but God loves you more.

Sunre o. Continue to rest in the bossom of your Creator

From
Chf. Mrs. Olamojiba Lad-Ojomo

Tribute to Our Great Mummy (Mother Celestial Abimbola Edwin):
Truthfully, l'm yet to recover from the shock received on the Demise of our Great Philanthropic, Generous, and Affable Sister/Mother, Mother Celestial Abimbola Edwin, who peacefully slept in the Bossom of Christ.
Hardy have I seen a person like her on exemplary roles played in accommodating, empowering, and greatly indiscriminately assisting humankind, especially the Church members and the Community as a whole without relent.
Sometimes, l tried to as much as possible reconcile your incomparable relationship with people despite your position, and found that you are humbled to a fault. To your family, l also found it as mate-marching proviso. To the Church of God, you're naturally endowed and worthy of emulation.
"No wonder they said, that the right-plum trees doesn't last long in the bush". We missed you, but God knows why taken you up at this moment. You have accomplished the mission and believe that you're among the chosen Jewels sitting on the right side of the most high God. I pray God to adequately reward you and grant you peace and favour in His presence in the mighty name of Jesus.
While l sympathize with my Brother, my Mentor, my Chairman (Sup. Evang. Victor Edwin, l also wish to commiserate with the Children: Bunmi, Solomon, and Tega, and the whole family for the great loss of the Jewel. I pray God Almighty in its infinite mercies to protect you and grant you the strength to bear the irreparable loss, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Kindly accept my sympathy and condolences.
From: Oretugas. (C.C.C. Wakati Adura Mi Parish. River Valley Estate, Ojodu Berger).

On behalf of my family this is to express our heartfelt condolences to the family of Edwin Okor for this sad loss. We have related as family friends for some years and the loss at this age that she has just began to enjoy all her hardwork and her family really makes it painful. But as believers the good Lord is in control. Our prayer is that she will rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord and God will grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss. May her soul rest in peace. Engr and Mrs Kola Ojo

The news of the death of Mrs. Abimbola Edwin got to us as a rude shock in the early hours of the morning of Monday, 5th October 2020. She had given us a call on Thursday, 1st of October 2020, during which we had a long and happy video chat together, and shared news about our health, family issues and current affairs. Her voice did not betray any sign of fatigue or illness. Although we are related as parents-in-law through our children, over the years and through the cordial relationship that has developed between our two families as a result of the warmth, love, accommodating. generous and hospitable character that the Lord has endowed her with, Mummy Solomon (as we fondly called her) has amalgamated our families into one. We see her and Mr. Victor Edwin as our blood sister and brother. That is why her sudden exit was so very painful. We can imagine the pain that her death will bring to the heart of the members of her immediate family and friends, especially Mr. Victor Edwin. Well, we love her but God loves her more. God gave her to us and the Lord has taken her away in His own time. Glory be to His name. She will forever remain evergreen in our memory. We pray that the Lord will console her dear husband, the children, grandchildren, other family members and her loved ones. We believe that she is now with the host of the angels in Heaven, singing praises to the Lord. May her soul rest in peace.
Prof. and Mrs. S. O. Asaolu.

You are such a great, loving, and caring friend, a good believer and God fearing. You did not wait
until we loose you before we knew your value, if good name is yardstick to paradise, I am sure your seat is decorated there. I am always proud of having a friend of your type. You never disappointed me once from comments made on you by people I come across who knew you. But death is a necessary end and it will come when it will. Ecclesiastes chapter 3v2 time to be born and time to die. So it has been so it is and shall be till the end of time. That is why you must go and that is why you are gone. Erin wo ajanaku sun bi oke 😭😭😭😭😭😭 my friend has fallen into a big slumber. O se 😭😭😭😭😭😭. Sleep on kind and noble soul until that resurrection day when we shall meet to part no more.
Good night sister, sleep right, be happy, all night.

The news of your death came as a shock on that faithful day. I still spoke with your husband till late in the night that day without any sign that something is wrong with you. We're not mourning, but we're celebrating the life of a family woman of principle and epitome of emulation. A nice and modest woman, understanding and brave. She exhibited the rare quality of a true and highly committed Christian life. May the Almighty God grant her eternal rest in Jesus name.
Good night Bimbo, ma je okun, ma bawon je ekolo ohun ti won ba nje lajule orun ni ki o ba won je. Sun re o Bimbo.

O death , where is they sting? O grave where is thy victory ?? When we live, we live for christ and when we die , we die for Christ. Whether we are alive or dead we belong to the Lord.
Bimbo, you are such a rare gem always caring for others. I am supposed to see you in Miami in March but for the pandemic situation in the world. I had to hurry back home, you felt bad when I told you I won't be able to make it again, you were looking forward to seeing me but.....,
We took solace in the fact that you died in Christ. May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace. Adieu! My lovely friend .
My condolences to your husband whom you loved so much and your lovely children Bunmi, Solomon and Tega.
