Ṣeun, the news of your transition came as a rude shock. You were always full of life and would never allow anything to be a burden on your mind. Many times you made us look into your MA research as lightly as it could be. You took live simple. God knows why this has to happen. 

Adieu, Ngbian Ṣeun Aondodoo. I hope we will meet on the resurrection morning.

My condolences to her family 

My first encounter with Adoo was in 2007. Adoo and my elder sister were secondary school mates and close friends. I visited my sister during their visiting day and that was it, Adoo and I connected immediately, they were both in JSS1 and immediately Adoo started talking me into joining them in their school. I however, wrnt to a different secondary school and we kept exchanging letters; day dreaming about the day I would transfer to her school, she'll be my Buckie and how she'll take good care of me.

Later on i met Adoo in CFC, a very relevant somebody. Always serving in God's house. 

Adoo, this one strong o, e strong well well o. I'm still expecting a miracle o. If my heart can break at the thought of you being gone (e no even sweet for mouth sef), I'm imagining how your family feels. God is definitely healing our hearts and I'm glad that you served your maker in very pleasing ways. Rest on sweet Adoo🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭

My condolences to Della's family and friends. I first closest encounter with Della was is 2018 when I stayed with her in Ibadan to write my JAMB. She took me in like her younger sister and took really good care of me, I can never forget about all the memories in Ibadan, the day I was meant to travel back she took me to the park and said all her goodbyes, I cried for over 20 minutes on my trip, I was just in awe how someone that was not family can treat me this way.

Adoo was so selfless, she never put her needs first, she has taken me in so many times when I had no where to go to, she was my confident, she always had the right words and advice to give, she'd hold my hands and pray fervently, she will always encourage me and charge me to do better.

I always say even though I don't make it in life I have Della to count on because of how passionate and focused she was. Oh my dear Della I can't believe I'm talking about you in past tense. I've been struggling with my emotions ever since you passed.

I feel so sad we didn't get to spend your last days together because I was always busy. I'm so sorry.

I love you so much Della

It is with a heavy heart that I try to find the words to say goodbye my dear Della🥹

For me, Adoo was one of those faces. We weren't close in the way that we hung out every day, but we shared a bond that was specific and real: we were in music club together. I’ll always remember her sitting quietly, looking so composed and demure. She had this gentle presence that made you think she was just taking in the world. Beneath that calm exterior was a wonderful handful of mischief. She had a way of breaking the tension in the room with a sudden, unexpected joke or a sly comment that would catch you completely off guard. She was the quiet one who could make you laugh the loudest. I remember how tremendously helpful she was without ever making a fuss about it.

Adoo, you left us far too soon. Thank you for the laughter, the help and for being a part of the soundtrack of our secondary school years. Rest well, Legend. You will be greatly missed.

With love and fond memories,

Winkie

Adoo! Adoo!! Adoo!!!

What can one say at a time like this?  What words can I use to express how I feel?

I close my eyes and I see you in your red checkered Charity House dress. In my head, we're still teenagers in school. 

Adoo, I'll always remember you as being full of life. It is not right that I'm writing these words, but even in death, you'll live in my memories. Rest well, Della, our Delectable Host♥️
