Tribute to My Beloved Friend and Sister in the LORD
Maureen Ogechukwukanma Oddie-Okeke
Maureen Ogechukwukanma (Maur-Maur), I would forever treasure our friendship which was spontaneous from the very first time your husband, Oddie Okeke, introduced us to each other on that beautiful Sunday after Mass at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Festac Town in 1991. The introduction was particularly unique and interesting because of what we shared together namely: First Name, Middle Name, and Birth Month (January), and most importantly our faith in our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ. To top that off, your Mom confided in me her experience during your birth; she urged me not to tell you so as not scare you with the childbearing process, and I didn’t. All these events in our lives created a close-knit affinity between the two of us that still amazes me, even now. You were not only a friend and sister, but a trusted confidant. And it is still very raw and hard for me to think that we will never have our chitchat times anymore, certainly in this realm called earth. This is very difficult!
Just about when I was beginning to think that all is well with your health while still dealing with the untimely return to our heavenly home of our beloved Ng-Chiobogwu, you went home also, just within an interval of two years. Tough, really tough! It is not supposed to be this early! The good indeed die young―very sad, but true. It is well.
Maur-Maur, you are the embodiment of love, kindness, peace, joy, generosity, faithfulness, and much more. You were faithful to the One who loves you with an everlasting love---JESUS, your husband, family, and friends, prayerful and forgiving to the end, even to those who deeply hurt you to the core. You only asked for prayers for them, not against them, just as the One who loves you too much did for all of us on the Cross of Calvary. You indeed exemplified what it means to be a true worshipper and follower of YAHWEH, Yeshua-JESUS CHRIST, and I thank the LORD for the legacy you have left for all of us who were privileged to have shared in your life and love. Thank you, Darling. I treasure your memory with utmost gratitude. Your motherly kindness to yours and others’ is remarkable, and you showed kindness without fanfare; your demeanor is inspiring, to say the least.
You, Ogechukwukanma, inspire me greatly, and I say thank you, Sweetheart; there will never be another you. You are in a class all by yourself---genuine child of the living God, YAHWEH, and I miss you dearly. It is written that “the memory of the just is blessed” (Proverbs 10:7), and your memory, my beloved friend and sister, is indeed blessed. I will forever treasure your memory, and thank you, Princess of the KING of kings, for blessing me the gift of a beautiful memory to treasure all the days of my life and beyond.
In conclusion, I pray that the LORD will teach all of us mourning and celebrating your beautiful, yet short-lived, life to “number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom” (Psalm 90:12) and seek the kingdom of YAHWEH God first and early, because this is an evil time and the day of reckoning is fast approaching. May He give us the grace to heed His admonition which says that “the conclusion of the whole matter is to fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
Rest secure and in perfect peace, my beloved friend and sister, Maureen Ogechukwukanma, in the bosom of our LORD JESUS, the One who loves us very much, and keep enjoying the ultimate healing now that you are home free―free from physical and emotional pain―home free indeed as beautifully captured in this linked song by Wayne Watson at https://www.youtube.com/watch….
With much love and appreciation, today and always!
Your friend and sister in the LORD,
Maureen Ogechukwukanma Okoli

Oge I’m still trying to accept the sad reality that you left us, your departure came too soon, but we take solace in the truth that you are up there with the angels of the almighty. Your departure left a void in my world that cannot be filled because you are simply irreplaceable. I miss your gentle motherly comfort, your advice which came out of genuine love and care. I know sometimes I expressed irritation at some of your routine counsel but that didn’t stop you simply picked up from where you were interrupted. But I listened!
You made my problems yours, felt my pain and anguish, prayed and agonised over them to conclusion. I miss our banter, your amusing theatrics that plays out when you are scared, which happens almost all the time. We shared an unbreakable bond, which shall remain in me forever.
I’ve felt a lot of pain, guilt and anger since your passing. I remember someone said towards the end that we should release so that you can pass away peacefully. I have now released you though I’ll carry the sorrow of your loss and sometimes the feeling of guilt when I ask myself the question “did we do enough for you”. I take solace in the fact that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, who are we to challenge that.
Rest on Oge our beautiful sister, you gave so much love, care and compassion for mankind. May your soul rest in peace in the bosom of the almighty until we meet to part no more!
