The news of mummy’s passing was sad and shocking! I still spoke with her barely 3 weeks before and she was so full of life and warmth as always. So I pondered - Is that it? Is that how people just pass on? For a few days I couldn’t wrap my mind around the news! But we draw comfort from knowing she knew, loved and served God with all her heart, and she left a great legacy for us to remember and cherish!
I met mummy sometime in 2001 when she would come with daddy to visit Deola and Muyiwa at the university, they would come every weekend! Talk about devoted parents. Her beautiful smile, warmth and kindness drew me in. She would always leave us with words of wisdom and advice to be focused on our goals and of course delicious meals. I remember when she traveled to the UK in our 3rd or 4th year and she got me a gift. That’s who she was, kind and generous! At our graduation, her and daddy drove down to quarters to come congratulate me and my parents before heading back to Ibadan, a thoughtful gesture that I would never forget!
I learned so much from her; her devotion to God and her family was truly inspiring! She was a virtuous, beautiful, elegant and graceful woman!
Mummy, till we meet to part no more, may your beautiful soul continue to rest in perfect peace! We love you and will cherish your memories always!!

I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Your mother's kindness, strength, and love touched everyone who knew her. She was a remarkable woman, and her memory will forever remain in our hearts. Please know that you are in my thoughts during this difficult time.
The way she embraced me like a daughter when I first met her was exceptionally heart warming.
May the Lord comfort Daddy, Children , grandchildren and other loved ones left behind.

Your entry into my brother Victor’s life marked a turning point in his life. Arguably, as the first person in the family to know about this hot romance between the two of you, it was easy for me to know that my brother meant business and you and I struck a close friendship. We would gist into the night. You had one of the things I like about ladies: you had a good posture. ( standing straight and walking tall). It’s not also a surprise that in practice you were a strict parent and this worked really well as today all your children have turned out well in life. To God be the glory. I’ll miss you and it’s still like a dream that you’re no longer with us. I pray for strength, for comfort, and grace for my brother and the children. I must give my thanks to the Almighty God for giving me the grace to be a sister to you. I also thank Him for all the love and joy you brought into my brother’s life. I thank Him that you’re survived by children who love you. All praises to the Almighty God.

I met mummy around 1997 or so when I visited Muyiwa at home in Ibadan. I also got to ride with them to OAU on one occasion. Mummy was very warm and accommodating. She was also a praying mother! I remember her leading us in prayer on the ride to Ife. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing and I pray for God’s healing, peace and comfort for the Adejuwon and Sadipe families. Rest well mummy, till we meet again at Jesus feet ❤️

Mummy was an epitome of love. Seeing her and Daddy reinforced the full meaning of “c-o-u-p-l-e!”
Rest peacefully in the Lord ma. And may the Lord be with all you left here.

Dear Sister Jumoke,
We all one day will pay the irrevocable debt of death and for you, it was paid on July 7, 2024. And thanks be to GOD that, for you, death came peacefully as reported. Glory be to GOD.
But, for us that you left behind, we will, with the help of GOD, cope with the trauma that comes with your physical absence forever.
Your life was honourable and remarkable, that the legacy of your exemplary marriage, glorious children and adorable grandchildren bear testimonies.
You lived life meaning well for all but you would rather this was discerned and felt personally by others instead of advertising it even at the risk of being misunderstood.
May your good soul eternally have rest and peace with GOD.

Dear Mummy, it’s hard to believe you’ve gone to be with the Lord. I met you while I was in the university with Adeola. You were always so full of life and showered your kids and even their friends with so much love. I can’t forget all the yummy food you brought whenever you visited. You were very approachable and it was easy to share my thoughts with you. You would always provide counsel subtly. Thank you Mummy for all your care, I’ll miss you and I love you lots.

I had the privilege of meeting Grandma a few times at Muyiwa's and Deola's at different times. Through my brief interactions, it was clear she was a beacon of warmth and kindness. She left an indelible mark with her simplicity and how accommodating and welcoming she was. Her genuine compassion and radiant spirit shone through in everything she did.
Even with limited interactions, I could see how deeply she cared for her family and friends, making everyone feel valued and loved.
Grandma's devotion to Grandpa was a testament to the profound bond they shared. Their relationship was a beautiful example of unwavering love and mutual respect. Her presence brought light and joy and together, they created a nurturing and loving home. Her legacy of kindness and dedication will continue to inspire all who knew her, and her memory will live on in the hearts of her loved ones.
She will always be remembered for her extraordinary ability to touch lives with her warmth and compassion. I will always remember grandma by her beautiful and youthful smile and welcoming spirit.
Till we meet again at the foot of the Almighty, Rest on ma!

“Sister Laju”, as l fondly called my big sister, it all still feels unreal. So many memories of my childhood years at “Oboyata House.” The storytelling, the warm jokes, the laughter, the eavesdropping on you and sister Nike’s boarding house gist that l dared not join into; the long walks to Rilworth departmental store on our way to or from Auntie Mope on Ibadan street west, where you and sister Nike will sometimes buy me chocolates and biscuits, if I had been good; the moments you held my tiny hand as we crossed through the busy traffic on Apapa road to see Auntie Mope. I also enjoyed visiting you in your Queens Hall room at the University of Ibadan while I was in boarding school at the International School - it felt like home away from home. I will hold on to these precious memories and be comforted that your soul will rest in perfect peace. I pray that God’s comforting Hands will be upon Uncle Victor and the entire family lagbara Olorun 🙏🏾.
Sister Laju, e sun re o and may God grant you eternal rest, Amen 🙏🏾.
Your aburo,
Oyinkan Williams (née Sadipe)

Your mum was so upbeat and full of life. She was so welcoming and her presence alone would give you comfort. I remember meeting her for the first time and how comfortable she made me feel that I felt like I had known her all my life as my mum. I am really sorry to hear of your loss. Heaven has surely gained an angel and I pray for strength for everyone she's left behind.

I was so sorry to hear about Mummy’s passing. She was such a loving, positive and lively person. The love between her and daddy was so obvious and their friendship and commitment to each other was an inspiration on what true love is.
She will be missed but though we love her, God loved her more. May God console the family and all the loved ones she left behind. May her Gentle soul rest in peace.

I met the family in 1997 and got introduced to mummy via Muyi and Dee and it’s was immediate warmth. Visits to the family home in Ibadan were always welcoming and mummy treated us like here own whenever we stopped by to or on our way from school in Ife.
As I marked various milestones in life, and sharing news with Muyiwa, she always mentioned to me that mummy had been praying for me. It was a kind reminder that I had a home away from home.
Rest with the lord mummy, till we meet again at the resurrection.

I thank GOD for the life Grandma lived. She was an
abiyamo tooto, a doting mother and grandmother, a rock. She was kind to her children’s friends and will be sorely missed. May the LORD grant you rest Ma and comfort and strengthen the family and everyone who loved you Grandma.

Grandma. Adejuwon was exceptional on earth, and I expect nothing less in heaven. I have known the family since 1988, and a significant reason for this is the warm, welcoming environment she provided, allowing me to become more than just a friend to her children. She was always pleasant and treated everyone like her own. During a period where I had to make a challenging life decision, I was deeply moved to learn she had been praying for me—this is the kind of person she was. May her soul continue to enjoy eternal bliss. You are missed, Mom.

Dear SuperGrandMa,
Words fail us to express how unprepared we are for this sudden home. We trust that the Lord in the greatness of His power would grant Muyiwa, her siblings and GrandPa the fortitude to bear your irreparable loss.
It is so difficult to refer to you in the past Ma.
The memories of you picking Muyiwa from Oritamefa Baptist Nursery and Primary School in our Primary 4 are deeply treasured.
Even at this time when we can’t trace God’s hands or see His plans - we choose to trust His heart. He remains too good to be unkind .
Sleep Easy Ma.
‘Though the mountains depart and the hills are removed - the Lord’s kindness will not depart from the Adejuwon and Sadipe families neither will His covenant of peace be removed saith the Lord that hath mercy on them in Jesus mighty name. Amen’
Isaiah 54
