to someone so dear to me

A cousin who took me as her younger sister,

Loved me and stood by me

Words fail me when it comes to describing you and the impact.

I never thought of saying goodbye this early 😭

I have always wished to see you and give you a big hug but that can never happen in this lifetime 💔

Knowing I would never get to see you breaks me💔💔

Knowing you wont congratulate me on my POP hurts so badly

You made me love you without effort and you were always there to listen

Its hurts knowing I would only talk abt you without seeing u

I'm grateful I got to know you in this lifetime and I wish to know you in next but maybe as an elder sister.

Your last words still rings a bell and I won't forget it in a haste.

I will always love you ❤

Rest well aunty Ebere

I could go on and on about the goodness Ebere embodied.

I will miss you deeply, Eberechukwu.

Rest easy, my dear friend.

Which is what makes her loss so difficult to process and accept. I've lost an amazing friend on earth but heaven has earned an angel, and Ralph, Ralph Jr. and Samuel have gained a protective spirit. Rest in Power, my love.

My dear friend Eberechukwu . Never in a million years would I have thought I would be writing a tribute for you. But God knows best…

I don’t know if the dictionary properly defined what a friend is . Eberechukwu you were a sister and a friend till the very end . You always let me know how much I meant to you and I am so glad you gave me the opportunity to do the same . Your sense of humor is out of this world …. On Christmas Day you still sent one to me that had me laughing and crying at the same time . You loved hard and you let the ones you love know how much they mean to you . We shared so many memories together and the one that stood out to me was when we travelled for work , you would sit next to me so you can help me finish my food lol . You were an amazing wife and Mother and if I could tell you only one thing, it would be how much I love you, but God loves you more and there no doubt that you are sitting at the right hand of our father .

Love Seyi

Auntie is me your small brother who you always advice to be a good person and make the world proud ,auntie up to now I could not believe that you are no more it's just like a movie to me after everything you told me and even the good advice you tell me, you do not wait for my return? death why, but I cannot question God ,everything happened always have a good reason

May your gentle soul rest in peace your memory we always leave alive with us 

I love you auntie and I will continue to love you for the rest of my life💖💓🎁

Yours faithful

My beloved "EBERT!" You've been an amazing big sister to me the past 22 years!! I am so grateful to have witnessed your

transformation and growth since college and I don't take for granted each and every day we shared. You've literally been "there" at almost every single pivotal moment in Curtis and I's lives and we both truly appreciate and honor the steady gift of your presence from El Shaddai.

We didn't agree on some issues towards the end, but we found a way to love each other regardless-the true hallmark of your peaceful character. I will always love you, my beloved beautiful Ebert. The most stunning bride I ever saw, inside and out... Sleep well until we see you again. My sincerest condolences to your entire family. Love, KechKech.
