What an amazing person and what a remarkable life. I feel so lucky that I got to know Odarkor ". What a good and generous person Odarkor was. Coco believed in uplifting everyone in her circle. I was one of those people. I'm honored to have known her ". Odarkor blessed so many people with her faith and kindness. We never would have felt ready to say goodbye to someone as special as Odarkor. There is a celebration in heaven and a celebration in our hearts even though we can't be there to put our arms around you . From your first hello, to your last goodbye, your memories will stay in our hearts forever. Keeping you in our prayers and believing that you are continously resting in perfect peace forever. — with Phyllis Kotei - Werekoh

I fist met coco when she was a freshman at Wesleyan university she picked up a shift in the cafe working with me and we instantly clicked we grew so close during the next 4 yrs she soon became a member of my family after graduation which I attended she was a huge part of my life ,always there to discuss whatever I was going tru no matter where she was . like London for example . I remember one day we me and my kids were eating dinner and there was a knock on the window when we looked up it was her beautiful smile. She had just flown bk from London and wanted to surprise me :) that’s my favorite memory! We always seemed to be going tru similar situations at the same time in life . She never missed calling me on a holiday or birthday and sending my kids a present on Christmas . one mother’s day I even came home to the most beautiful Bouquet of flowers and my boyfriend instantly assumed it was from another guy lol but the smile it put on my face and heart from seeing them and reading the beautiful card that accompanied them will remain a precious memory for the rest of my life ! I’m pretty much a loner and don’t go out much so my circle of friends is small like I want it to be I mainly just want to be surrounded by my family which is my whole life . And when I got the call from her sister netti the day she passed I truly lost my best friend and a huge piece of my heart for the rest of my life I will never forget where I was when I got that call I will miss her everyday especially when we are decorating our gingerbread village during Christmas time . Coco ,my friend please still visit me from time to time send me signs and let me feel your presence I love you always and forever P.S. please give my love to Michael and Chris till we meet again beautiful RIP 💔

I offer my condolences. I know Odarkor well at work. She was a wonderful soul. She embodied in her heart and smile "the sunshine day" and the promise of a better tomorrow. We spoke many times about very personal matters and she always impressed me by her outward look on others and love of life, and others. I wish I could save you this agony and grief. I know I cannot, but hopefully those wonderful pictures of her smiling will remind you in the most gentle way what she knew instinctively: that others are worth loving and helping, and that life while it is ours is a wonderful thing, to be lived fully with others, and to be made the most of it. You had an extraordinary human in your midst. She will be missed. Her love will be missed. But that love is still in your heart and I hope it will bring you much needed solace in the coming days.

Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to your family. I hadn't spoken to Odarkor in a few years, we used to work together at Morgan Stanley. Her bright smile and personality made her a pleasure to work with. So sorry for your loss.

From Wesleyan, to New York City, to DC, and then into the Army, you were always there for me--a fast and loyal friend. This is the first time you've ever left me, and life just will never be as rewarding as when I could share it with you. :'(

I would like to send my deepest condolences and prayers to the Lamptey family. Odarkor and I both participated in Dalton's alumni mentorship program. It was always such a pleasure seeing her at various sessions and events. She will truly be missed.

I miss you so much it hurts. I never knew that you’d leave me so soon. It still doesn’t even feel real. It still feels like next week you’re going to shoot me text to set up a meeting or just check up on me. You were the older sister I never had. You were such a beautiful soul. I wish we had more time to make more memories. I wish we actually went to the Museum of Ice Cream like we planned. I wish we actually went to that movie we wanted to see. However, I know Gods plan is always the best. I don’t know why this happen and I understand why this happened, but I know that Gods reasoning is always the best. You were such a loving person and I’m forever grateful for the love you’ve shown me. I’m so glad I got to meet you and know you. I’ll never forget you. I promise to accomplish everything that we talked about. I promise to make you proud as you watch over me. You were an amazing mentor and I’ll miss you forever. My condolences to your family. Rest in perfect peace.

“The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity;”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭57:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I didn’t know Odarkor, but I was a friend of her mentee in the iMentor program. May she Rest In Peace, and may it be by Jesus’ blood that she is taken to heaven to be with our Creator.

I saw something today from a fellow Christian that said: When you feel so heartbroken that you can’t get out of bed, Jesus is there. Psalm 56 tells us that He knows our sorrow and counts our tears, He keeps track of our sadness and He cares. Did you know that Jesus felt the sorrow and grief of losing someone He loved too? In John 11 , we see Jesus mourn and cry over the death of His friend Lazarus. He used that situation to show us that He is the resurrection and the life, He has a place prepared for all of His children in heaven (John 14).

My prayers go out to the family of Odarkor, but take heart and know that “Jesus wept” (John 11:35). You are going to be alright.
