Tributes from Children
Mama Bear,
Thank you for being a fighter.
It is the greatest gift that you gave us.
I'm honest enough to admit that your passing at this time was so unexpected.
There was still so much I wanted us to do together.
But God has chosen to lead you into what is undoubtedly Glory.
Looking Back over the many Battles you fought and won
All along, God had His eyes on you.
He was watching and protecting you through all the difficult times.
It is why you thrived against all odds even when the battle was fierce and multi-faceted.
I see now that God loved you deeply and openly right before the adversaries.
So, I choose to trust in the Love God showed you during those trials.
I believe that God's Love, has, somehow, found something even more beautiful for you.
I trust that somehow; this is another Victory - even if it is unclear to me.
I believe that you have finally won the greatest battle of all
You have taken your seat amongst God's Cherished Own.
I will remember your charge to stand like a Warrior
I will remember to Honor your life’s legacy with Joy
I will remember to love those whom you have left in my care
I will do my best to ensure that your legacy is not forgotten
I will remember to Honor the love we shared
I love you Mama Bear. ❤️
Oluwafunmilayo Falade
Mother.
Àmọ̀pé, Ọmọ Olúṣesí, Ìnáòtánwó,
I cannot seem to find the words to capture this pain I feel. The pain of losing you gnaws at my heart so badly that I want to crash into a hole and not come out till I can speak with you again.
But that is not me. That will not be the daughter you raised me to be, the fearless girl who would damn the world in favour of what is right by God.
You lived well and raised us all to be strong in spite of whatever life throws our way. And so, picking myself up and forging ahead is the best thing I can do to honour your legacy.
I wish you were here to commend my sisters and I on how strong we have been since you passed from this world.
I wish you were here to help me brush my wig for the day's event or pack my new chosen handbag for the day.
I wish you were here to help me select the right colour of shoes to go with an outfit.
I wish you were here with me so I could gossip with you about what everyone has said since you proceeded to the great beyond.
I wish you were here to give me advice on my new book.
Oh, the list is endless!
When I run through my memories, I wish for so many things again.
But more than anything, I wish for a new day with you.
You loved life and you lived it so beautifully and gracefully.
I remember my childhood and how you were so hard on me - I was impetuous, sometimes rude, brazen, headstrong, yet come what may, I was your child.
As an adult, there was no mountain you did not push me to climb in pursuit of a better me. You gave me wings to fly in a world that constantly threatens to clip my wings. You taught me the art of giving and living.
I promise never to forget it.
Today, my sisters and I live our God-given lives on our terms because you were unafraid to do so. We share from your ‘Grace’, and your life of service has become the template we measure others by.
Sleep well, mother because you've left the world a better place. Your profound impact on all of my friends is a testament to that.
With this tribute, instead of mourning as you warned us not to, I celebrate your strength, wisdom, and unconditional love.
Your influence is evident in the strong and independent women my sisters and I have become.
Enjoy your rest in the bosom of our Lord without pain, and the vicissitudes of life.
I'll never forget you, your life or the lessons.
I'll always miss you, mother.
Onaolatomirin Kiyesola Falade
Mummy,
I am not really sure how to write this.
Some days, especially Sundays, I wake up and forget you are no longer in this world. I am painfully reminded though, when I do not receive the happy Sunday texts or after church pictures from you. I miss how you'd be the first to greet me on every special occasion or on public holidays. I'm not sure what to do about the voice notes where you pray though. Does anything compare the sound of your mother's voice wishing you well and blessing you?
As you would say, ‘in all things give thanks'; and that is exactly what I shall do. I am grateful for the gift of yourself, your wisdom, your confidence and your faith in God.
I was, and I remain in awe of your fortitude and your bravery in the face of the uncertainty that is life. Even in the face of death you never waivered and that is more than I can say for many people. I will look upon the times we spent together fondly, even when we disagreed.
I know that this pain and emptiness may ease but will never fully pass. It is my wish that your heart desires and prayers come to pass, and that you finally find bliss and rest in the bosom of God. I love you Mummy.
Motunlayo Falade
A TRIBUTE TO MY MOTHER
My Mother! My Voltron, my defender, my fighter! These are the words I would use to describe you, and people would laugh when I said it but I always meant it. Because you approached every issue every challenge, every experience with a boldness and an almost fearlessness my brain couldn’t comprehend. You were boisterous, loud and full of so much energy, so much so that sometimes I wanted you to tone it down a bit.
But now you’ve gone quiet.
And I would give almost anything to hear you again. To hear the sounds that are oh so familiar with you
- The sound of pots and pans in the kitchen in the early morning
- You, singing your new preferred hymns as you got ready for the day.
- The sound of your footsteps on the floor,
- The feel of your weight as you sat by me in the morning and placed your hands on my head and said a not-so-silent prayer…
I hate that this is the world I must accept now. To know that you are no longer at “home” for me to shout “Mama!” as I entered the house and came to hug you. For you to say “Hmmmm” as we hug, and you pass a compliment on my outfit or my hair or tell me I smell nice.
I miss you, mummy. I miss you fiercely and my heart breaks every time:
- I see a picture of you,
- I remember something you said,
- I see a place we’ve been together and things we have done together.
They are a lot, and they are everywhere. Which means my heart is constantly breaking, every second of everyday. But this is just a testament to how much you loved me and how much you were present. How you took no prisoners with us and went above and beyond to make sure that you were there for us. Showing up for us over and over again.
You were my Mama Bear, and I was your Baby Bear, no questions asked.
Your passing has made me question the purpose of life and what this is all for. But it has also given life a new meaning. Because under it all, under all the emotions, the pain, the guilt, the fear, the anxiety that keep washing over me in waves - at the bedrock of it all - there is love, and grace, and strength that I know without a doubt that I can always and forever draw from to take me through this hard life.
I owe my life to you. Figuratively and in every other way. Because you were more than just my vessel into this world. You were a template, a reference point, a true example of what a mother should be, and this is evident in the women you have raised myself and my sisters to be. When I look at them, they all carry unique and individual parts of you that help me stay grounded and help me forge through life day after day. Even our friends who had the good fortune to encounter and experience you had no choice but to be touched and influenced by your warmth and love. And I still hear you, in my sisters, in songs you sang, in the things you taught me. And I choose to hold on to that.
I recently stumbled on a saying that read “Courage is GRACE under pressure.” And I still can’t think of a sentence that describes you more.
Your love for us was immeasurable, you were warm, you were cozy, you were straight-talking, no-nonsense-taking, but a full-of-love mum to everyone, you were HOME.
And just like your name, You were Grace. You ARE Grace. And that is your legacy.
Grace as in the short prayer.
Grace as an unmerited favour of God to us.
Graceful in how you carried your self happily.
Grace as the opportunity you kept giving those around you.
Grace as the divine gift you had for cooking.
Grace in your good will and how you treated people.
Grace in the fact that God blessed and brought honour to us with your presence.
I miss you. mummy, but I love you more and it is comforting to know you now rest in the blossom of your Father.
Ayoyinka Falade (Your Yinkus Mola! Mola!)
My big mummy!
My pancake!
You are part of the reason I live today which is why I call you, my pancake.
The fact that you have been taken from me this early is beyond tragic. I am honestly not sure that any of us will heal from this fast, but I rest happy because I know that you are at peace and resting in the bosom of God.
Your legacy and love will live on, for you are an entity the world would never forget.
You will not be missed because you are still here with us and would never be forgotten!

Aunti mi I will surely continue to miss you. I look up to you for many things.
It is with too much pain and tears I write. I never knew I will be doing this so soon but two most important days in one’s life the day one is born and the day one passes on.
One come with joy and the other with grief and anguish...sadly you have lived both. Leaving a void in my heart that no one can feel, and (Bata to tobi jumi lolati wo, mi o ni oro ti mole fi sapejuwe alafo te Fi sile)
Omo edu ule ahun sunre o ki olorun se iku ni isinmin fun o o.
Aunti mi omo oloni asare bumu.
Your Sister, Funmilola Afolabi
“Anty mi Dupe” as I fondly call you.
I grew up knowing you as my second mum and the role became so real when we lost our mother.
You were right there at every crucial period of my life, you saw me through school, during my marriage, childbearing and even until your last breath
Life without you will hit sooo much.
From me (your look alike) and the rest of my family we will continue to hold you so dear to our hearts and we will stand so strong on the legacy you left behind.
And until we meet to part no more, I say adieu to our own dear BIG MUMMY.
Omobolanle Jide-Fadiya
Auntie mi, is it true that I’m writing a tribute about you? It feels far too soon, and my heart isn't ready to accept it. But who am I to question your creator’s timing.
With you by my side, I felt brave enough to face a lion; now, even a cockroach seems daunting without your presence.
Who will I argue with now? Who will I quarrel with?
I’ll never forget our endless debates and disagreements. No matter how heated things got, you’d always cut through the tension with a gentle, “Jide, kilo ma je?” (what will you eat)
We had our differences, but we always made decisions together, blending our stubbornness with your famous pounded yam, creating the perfect Sunday evenings.
It’s hard to imagine those moments without you. Sleep well, Auntie mi, until we meet again at the other side.
You are forever in my heart.
Jide Fadiya
It is with a Heavy heart I write this, but the consolation is knowing You are in a better place. You are not just a mother to me but also a friend, confidante, and role model. Your resilience in the face of adversity, your unwavering determination, and your boundless love inspired me every single day. You are the embodiment of strength, grace, and compassion.
Who could ever say they didn’t feel the aura of your Advice in their lives? It's the hard part to get over. Especially when I was down and needed advice, you were my "run-to" person as you fondly always said I was the Son You never had.
I truly miss you like you Biological Children would.
Keep Resting Mummy 🌹🌹🌹😭😭

Tributes from Close Family
Today, we remember big mummy, a beloved aunt whose kindness, warmth, and generosity touched everyone she met. She was a source of comfort and guidance, always ready with a smile, wise words, and a helping hand. Her strength and resilience inspired those around her, teaching us to face life’s challenges with grace.
Though she is no longer with us physically but, her spirit lives on in our hearts. Big mummy leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion that will continue to guide and inspire us. She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
We will sure meet on the other side. It's better there.

I'm not sure I'd ever find the right words to express how I feel about your death but thank you for being a good sister. You showed leadership, support, and always tried to bring the family together. You will be greatly missed. Thank you for all the good values.
You fought a good fight, finished the race and conquered. GLORY BE TO GOD.

🍀 GOOD NIGHT, DEAREST SISTER
BEING TRIBUTE IN HONOUR OF GRACE MODUPE OLUWATOYIN FALADE, NEE ABAJINGIN (1959-2024)
Since I received that call, on that fateful Saturday night from one of the daughters, jolting me to the sad reality that my amiable loving sister and cousin had transited to the great beyond few days ago, I'm still dumbfounded and short of appropriate words, in disbelief that Anti temi as I used to address Grace Modupe Falade, nee Abajingin in her lifetime, could really have flew away from among us unaware.
Anti mi Dupe, indeed from her sunrise to her sunset, was a man in a woman's garb, and she represented/manifested so many things to the hordes of personalities that experienced her course through life, either as a child, sibling, cousin, daughter, wife, sister, mother, aunt, colleague and friend, above all she was a faithful Christian and adherent of the Anglican faith, till she took her last breath.
I also testify to the good memories of our loving sister, that she had, for almost a decade now, been a rallying point in the Asao Jacob Okintudimu Olusesi ABAJINGIIN descendants’ family, leading by example as a great mobiliser/motivator and backbone support base for good causes in the Asao Abajingin dynasty.
Without being immodest and in whichever way, anyone might have perceived our now late Grace Modupe Falade, she more often in life came across as a genuine friend, lovingly frank and straight to the point without any pretense, hence I mustn't fail to add that we shall all miss her amiable loving dispositions
On a personal note, I shall miss her candour and love, ditto the entire Asao Olusesi Abajingin family dynasty of Efon Alaaye Kingdom as well as St Paul's Anglican Church, Idagba in Efon Alaaye, her mother's Obagbe family lineage of Ejigan community in Efon Alaaye, also her children, with her hordes of friends and all concerned across her space of life, all of whom will fondly miss the unpretentious frankness, thoroughness and diligent dispositions of the late Grace Modupe Oluwatoyin FALADE.
As a matter of fact and given the role which she had played in our family over time, we shall continue to remember her, according to the lyrics of that Hymn titled, "Only Remember" with regards to all she had done in life, not just for the family but by all who had experienced or interacted/related with her. However, she will also be remembered by many for all she had done, particularly for the warmness of her love, her faithful disposition and her steadfastness as a true child of God.
Till we meet again, to part no more, it's our sincere prayers that the children of our now deceased sister be graciously comforted, as she keeps resting in her deep sleep @ the bosom of her Lord and creator, who called her home.
Prince S. A. Adeyemi-Adejolu, FNIPR
For and on behalf of himself, family and the entire descendants of the Asao Jacob Okintudimu Olusesi Abajingin dynasty of Efon Alaaye Kingdom, Ekiti State.
I miss you, mummy. You were such a giving person and a caring mother. I can never forget all you did for me. Thank you and Rest in Peace Mummy

Tribute from Churches, Church Societies & Church Friends
It is with great sadness but also with a heart filled with wonderful memories that I write this tribute about Dupe. Your life radiated a brightness that will never go dim. Even now as you rest in eternal glory, the brilliance of your glow will forever brighten our hearts.
Dupe you came, you saw, and you conquered. We wished you were still with us as no words can fill the void your passing has left especially in the hearts of your immediate family and friends. I pray that we all can find solace in the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:4 which says, "Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted" Also Jesus said in John 11:25, I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me will live even though he dies".
May God continue to comfort, strengthen and love the children, immediate family, friends and Charity Band members you left behind.
May your gentle soul continue to rest in the bosom of Lord.
You will greatly be missed by all of us that you associated with while on earth.
Adieu Dupe till we meet on the resurrection day.
Mr Michael Mimiko & Family
Your passing came as a huge shock to me, I thought we would have more time. Nevertheless, I thank God for the time we had together. Good night, Dupe. May your soul continue to rest with your Creator.
Mrs. Caroline Sikuade
It saddened my heart when I heard about the passing of my darling sister and friend. I can’t just believe that you are gone, it’s so devastating but who are we to question God the one who knows the end from the beginning.
We thank God for the quality life lived. Dupe was a gentle lady, loving, caring and a very dutiful mother. A rallying figure in the extended family.
Lover of things of God, your legacy of selflessness and service to God and man both at your home church Efon-Alaaye and Lagos will never be forgotten in a hurry.
I am sad that you left so early but comforted that you are in a better place.
God in His infinite mercy will take good care of your children & all the loved ones left behind. They will not lack divine helpers and favour all the days of their lives in Jesus mighty name.
May your soul continue to rest in perfect peace.
Mrs. Alo Eunice Olalounpe
You had such inspiring plans and a clear vision for the Ladies Christian Circle (LCC), which you shared with me with so much passion. I was excited to see the phenomenal work you would do with the society.
But sadly, you left this world before those dreams could be realized.
Yet, we trust that God knows best. Rest in peace, faithful servant of God.
Mr. Muyiwa Kupoluyi
Aunty mi (as I fondly called you), I was and am still deeply saddened by your loss. You were a remarkable presence in my life, bringing warmth, wisdom, and kindness to everyone you encountered.
As I remember Aunty mi, I am grateful for the countless memories and the love you shared with us. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew you, and you will be deeply missed. Rest on Aunty mi and May God grant you eternal peace
With heartfelt sympathy,
Fatogun Adenike
Where do I start from?
Who will call me “Ana mi!” again?
Wow!!! "Ana mi". How can I forget that word that resonates each time we see or meet ever since you knew I’m married to an Efon Alaye lady! Who you equally adopted as your "aburo mi". Your demise was such a deep shock to say the least.
To think that down January, we were working together day and night on the programme of your society which you were the new president. Oh my God, you gave it your all. To have a beautiful and successful outing against all odds even with your ill health. Sometimes while coming in and out of the hospital.
Wow!!! "Ana mi", you came, you saw, and you conquered. " Ma j'okun, ma j'ekolo, nnkan tiwon ba nje l'ajule orun ni koo maa bawon je o".
May your soul, rest in peace.
Mr. Akinwunmi Fatogun
It is so difficult to say goodbye me. It is difficult to pen down anything, knowing it is the last. What do I say? Sleep peacefully in the bosom of God.
Angela Ogbonna
To God be the Glory. You have fought and conquered. Rest in Perfect Peace my sister and President.
Mrs. T.B. Oyedapo
Tributes from Children’s Friends, Colleagues and Acquaintances
TRIBUTE TO MY SWEET MUM
It is so difficult to come to terms that you are no more, but I know for a fact we have parted only to meet again at His feet. You were a devoted Christian, sweet mum to all that come closer to you, beautiful inside and out. It was always a joy to see you and your lovely children (my Friends) around when we have family get together. Even at my mum's funeral you all stood still by me. Your words to me then were, “YOU CAN DO IT! Tolu, please take heart. AUNTY MI (as you fondly called my mum) knows you will SCALE THROUGH, so please take heart”.
Hmm, its so shocking I am remembering all this now. You were a rear gem, my mentor, my pillar and encourager at times when I needed support and direction. I can never forget how you went all the way to satisfy me and my baby when we came visiting before your demise, even my little baby keeps calling your name saying you've gone to rest!!! What a GREAT MENTOR you are... Even in the face of your passing on to Glory, we hold on to these words with the assurance that God really does knows what He is doing even though we wish we had more time to spend with you.
Rest in peace My Sweet Mum, we will miss you everyday and we pray that God blesses and keep the loving family you left behind in Jesus Name. Amen
"Didun didun ni iranti olododo"
Sun re o Sweet Mum.
Tolulope Mimiko Babatunde
Goodnight Motherrrr,
The news of your passing remains a rude shock that keeps me wondering, how a beautiful soul, a matriarchal figure and support system for as many that knew her, could leave us without any warning… A rude awakening that life is fickle, not promised. No guarantees, only a lesson to impact one’s world with whatever God has blessed you with…
Motherrrr, (as her daughters called her - and I joined the party too), was an Amazon in every sense of the word, she gave us back-to-back with her fashion prowess, and thankfully, we have her lovely daughters to continue that legacy…
She accepted me without hesitation, we would talk about many things whenever I visited, such that my Lagos visits were never complete without a touchdown at Otunba Street…
Now that you are gone and watching us from above, I remember the short period of knowing you with fond memories, I am wishing the hands of time backward, just so I could hug you again…
Though we might feel alone now that you are gone, knowing your aspirations and prayers for your family, I rest assured knowing that you fought the good fight, and that the good lord will surely prevail on all your good wishes…
Today, I choose to celebrate you, for you have left evergreen memories with us all…I still taste your amazing vegetable soup and fluffy pounded yam meal whenever I think of you ma. (Mummy, your daughter has become resident Chef o, and we are enjoying it. Again, we the eager eaters thank you pupo pupo).
Those we love never go/fade away. They may not be heard or seen, but they are always with us, especially in our hearts! We miss and love you ma, forever!
Motherrrr, this is not goodbye. For me, it’s goodnight, See you again among the angels, at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ, at the resurrection of the saints.
Till resurrection morning,
Stay Jiggy ma!
With all my love,
Rotimi Ige (Roy)
A loving mother, a caring heart, a shining star that touched lives of both family and friends. With a warm embrace you accepted l and my family. You welcomed us and made us feel loved and cherished.
You were exceptional. The way you nurtured, showed support, and your selflessness was inspiring. You treated those around you with love and there was never a dull moment around you. You had the special gift and the ability to make everyone feel at home.
A fashionista with all shades of steeze!
Though you may be gone, your legacy lives on through the countless lives touched. Your memory will be a blessing to all who knew you, a reminder of the power of love, kindness, and compassion.
Rest in peace, Mummy Grace Modupe Falade.
Your love, care, and generosity will never be forgotten.
Oluwatope Lawanson
Big Mummy,
You were a mother to me indeed and in every sense of the word. You took me in when it was hard, and you stood by me through it all.
Your lessons in decorum helped reshape my hitherto rough approach to life and your life lessons are ever green in my memory. I will miss you, but I am comforted in the fact that you lived a good, full and impactful life and gave me four amazing sisters. Sleep well, Mother...
Till we meet to part no more.
Olamide Arowosegbe
Mummy, My mummy!
I will forever cherish the last couple of hours you spent with me at KL. Those words are forever with me.
No worries, I know you are giving them steeze over there ❤
Temiyemi Akintomide, KOMIJE
Mummy,
You were a very kind woman.
I will never forget how you always welcomed me as part of the family and how you would respond to my posts and check-in on me from time to time. You would pray for me and my family especially on special occasions like birthdays. Your words were always kind and sweet, and it is so sad that I won’t receive your messages again.
It is sad that we have to say goodbye to you this soon and you will be missedHowever, our hope is not lost because the best gift you gave to the world were your daughters. You raised, four very well-behaved women and this world will thank you for it.
Rest well Mummy in the bosom of your creator.
Seun Oloketuyi (Mr. BON)
Dear Mummy,
It's been few months since you passed on, yet it seems like yesterday.
I had always known I was going to write something for you, but never did I believe it will be this soon nor a death tribute.
I have always admired you for different and many reasons that include being a mother, cook, planner, adviser and many more. And the reasons aren't far fetched...
As a mother, you were the typical mother hen. You guard yours jealously with all your heart. Interestingly, you guarded some of us, who weren't your biological children as though we were. You were a complete mother and one we are proud to call our mum.
As a cook, no delicacy was too tough to get on the plate for your children and loved ones. You will always lure me to try your pounded yam with vegetable having tried and loved my wife's special party jollof. You don't cook for us to just feed, you cook for us to relish your dishes. Your dishes will be sorely missed.
As a planner, you never took anything for granted. For you, anything worth doing at all is worth doing well and more. You were finicky and you always planned for anything and everything. Guess you never planned for your death at the time it came but we take solace in God almighty for the good life you have spent while on earth with us.
There was no better adviser than mummy. Whoever doesn't know about this trait surely not did come across your luminous personality. Your advice is neither limited by age, race, nor position. From the youngest in our clique, Bolu, to the oldest, Mrs L, you have a piece for everyone. Even when I rarely see you, you will always say a prayer for me and when I call to check up, your smile brightens the day.
In all, you came, saw, lived, and conquered as a true Abajingin. You lived an exemplary life that would make culture, heritage, husband, children and family proud of you.
I join your daughters in bidding you farewell to this world as you journey back to your beloved creator and God.

You were so caring, loving, generous, disciplined, proactive and loyal to your God. You displayed the best feature as a mother. You were a mother to all. We will Surely Miss you. Sleep well till Christ’s Coming.

Mummy, you were a mother indeed, but God knows everything. Abi amo toto ma sun re o. It is a big blow, but God will see all the children through in life. Mum, sleep well in the Lord’s bosom.
Mrs Omolayo Adebisi
A sweet and loving mother is gone. Very caring and accommodating. We love you but God loves you more. Sleep well mother.
Ayo Bada
Sleep well, my dearest Mrs Falade.
I lost my biological mum early, and you were one of the amazing mums God blessed me with to fill the void. I will never forget how you fasted for me the day I was going to write jamb so I get a good score to enter university in time. You did this on a day when you were opening a new restaurant.
You were such a warm and loving person; I will miss your gists and your delicious cooking.
Sleep well, mummy.
I will dearly miss you!
Clariss Owoyemi
You were an amazing mum. You were that friend’s mum that was everybody’s mum. You will be dearly missed mum. Rest in Power Mum.
Bisola Muhammed
Mom, I never knew that 5 years ago would be the last time I’d set my eyes on you. I’m still shocked at the news of your death. You are a mother to all. Thank God for the lovely memories I have of you. Rest well in the Lord Mama Tomi, I love you. Till we meet to part no more.
Faoziyat Muhammed Quadri
Mummy's charming presence, deep love for God, and her generous spirit are unforgettable.
She always made sure we were fed, often more than we needed, but it was her way of showing love. She held onto her faith until the very end, a testament to her undying faith and love for God.
Though we miss her deeply, we find comfort knowing that God is taking care of her now.
Mummy, we love and miss you so much. Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord.
Modupe Olusoga
Mummy had a remarkable ability to spread love and kindness wherever she went. Whether it was through her selflessness, generosity, or compassion, these qualities made her truly special.
She had a way of making everyone around her feel valued and loved, and her presence brightened up any room she entered.
Rip beautiful, beautiful mummy!
Rita Daniels
Mummy, this is hard. God says he won’t saddle us with more that we can bear. This is rather heavy.
As I think of you, many words come to mind; “unfair”, “painful”, “infuriating”, “saddening”. There is however one word that keeps floating above them all: BUBBLY. Oh, how you bubbled mummy! Oh, how you shone!
That is how I choose to remember you. That is how you will always be.
Rest well, mummy.
Amaka Oladipo
You were outstanding, bright and full of warmth.
The one thing I remember from meeting you is how warm and welcoming you were. You made me feel like I was home.
It’s difficult to come to terms with your passing and writing this makes it much more difficult. Till we meet again ma, continue to rest in the Lord’s bosom.
Tosin Atewogboye
I had the privilege of knowing the late Mrs. Grace Modupe Falade for over a decade. She was incredibly welcoming, always making me feel at home whenever I visited. Her kindness knew no bounds—she was a giver of her time, money, and words of profound wisdom. Mrs. Falade was naturally beautiful, both inside and out. Her gentle spirit, kindness, and dedication as a mother were evident in every aspect of her life.
Her warmth and generosity touched many, including myself. I was fortunate to experience her hospitality countless times over the years. Her delicious meals, especially her pounded yam, were just one of the many ways she showed her love and care. It’s hard to comprehend that such a beautiful soul has departed from this world, especially when we were still enjoying her wisdom, kindness, and warmth.
Mrs. Grace Modupe Falade was truly extraordinary. She always went the extra mile to make everyone around her feel happy and loved. Her impeccable sense of style, particularly in her traditional Yoruba attire, added to her charm. The impact of her good deeds will live on, and her legacy will be remembered for generations.
Adieu, Mrs. Grace Modupe Falade.

Mama was an amazing human being. Always full of advice and prayers, down to earth, very compassionate and caring. I pray that God in his infinite mercies will grant her Eternal life and would watch over those she left behind.
Mama, we will miss you. God bless you for us.
God Bless your memories for us.

HEAVEN GAINED ANGEL
Tribute in Honour of a Precious Mission Partner
A new day of Tuesday 18th June 2024 broke and a golden heart stopped beating and a beautiful soul set to Rest. Our hearts were crushed and soared, remembering how nice and pleasant you were to our generation. God is the giver and the taker; we have no effrontery to challenge Him.
Mummy Modupe Falade, your transition from mortality to immortality at this time was so painful and most unexpected. Though Death is mystery which no one can unravel. It is an inevitable end of all human beings. No soul has really come to terms with the mysteries of death.
Mrs Modupe Falade was a born – again Christian of exceptional courage and tenacity with deep commitment to the works of Evangelism and noble causes of helping fellow humans thereby laid foundation of meaningful life. She lived an impactful, meaningful an beneficial life worthy of emulation.
She was loving, caring, generous, dutiful, easy going and focused. She was an embodiment of what a good role model is. Devoid of personal and selfish interest but full of agitation to do the perfect will of her creator and giving selfless service to fellow human being all the time. The memories of her support during our ministerial sojourn at St Paul’s Anglican Church Idagba Efon Alaaye linger in our hearts forever. She was a dependable rock to stand on. We shall continue to find solace in the precious children and wonderful siblings (Asao Jacob Okuntudimu Olusesi Abajingin family) you left behind and the good works you did.
Mummy Modupe Falade, the paradise you desire most is now finally yours. The eternal glory you passionately cherished is now your abode. Take your rest on the bosom of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ whom you have served committedly and uncompromisingly.
Adieu till resurrection morning.
Venerable & Mrs Israel Olagunju,
St Philip’s Anglican Church, Aramoko Ekiti.

Rest in peace mummy. I will forever miss you. God is unquestionable so we cannot ask but I believe that God loves you even more than we do. I will forever remember our good conversations, your advice since I lost my husband, and your kindness towards my children and me.
