I have witnessed the demise of several relations, friends & neighbours, but the one that still remain fresh in my mind till today is dat of my junior broda: Femmy (1968 - 1980). its been over 30years but i just cant forget U. Hope your innocent soul made it to God's bossom where i will meet u one day to part no more. adieu.

However, why is no one lighting any candle for Abacha here?

I light a candle to my best friend, Ijeoma who died after delivery a baby boy one year ago. I miss u. RIP

I light a candle for my mum who died 21 years ago, July 8, 1989. Though I was young then, the memory of your motherly love and care still lingers. I'v missed u all my growing up years and I pray that may your Gentle soul rest in peace.

I light another candle for you my daddy, who died 2 years ago, September 24, 2008. Daddy, I wonder tif my tears will ever stop flowing for u. What can i say, you were there for us, through the thick and thin. You took the place of father and mother for us and u made sure we were properly trained and brought up all by yourself. U saw us to the point where we could stand by ourselves and then u went away, I could not even say thank you for all u did. Thank u for ur love, thank u 4 been dr 4 us, thank u 4 ur firmness and thank u for bringing us up in the way of the lord, thank u 4 everything.

To both my parent, may u continue to rest in the bossom of the lord.

"some glad morning when this life is ova, I know i'll see ur faces"

Today I light a candle beside a wreath and place them on your tombs…

JOSEPH McANTHONY &
MRS AKPANISILLE.

You both died in mysterious circumstances, but we leave it in God’s hands who sees and knows all things…He alone sees the hearts of men and all that was done in the secret and open!

As long as life and memories last, I won’t forget.
One day we shall laugh together again at the trouble of parting when we meet to part no more…until then play on with the Angels!

I light a candle for you, my sister, Cecilia .
You wouldn't have died if daddy was more sensible and leave us alone.
Anyway, its 21years now since you left.
But I still talk about you fondly to sweetheart,
Sleep on Cecilia Akinwande (1981-1989)

I light a candle for my Best friend who passed on early dis year. Miss u Tim and wil always remember u.

For my dear dad, Mr S.B.A. who passed on Feb 3rd 2009. May your soul rest in peace, Amen. We miss you much.

Oh gosh,
Finaly I lost my mom. She died yesterday and the pain is sooo great. She was the only surviving parent we had she was strong for me and my siblings. Since yesterday I have no reason to move on in life anymore all I did these past years was done to make her proud and happy among her fellow women. She came visiting and complained of cold headache and fever she was vommiting and realy weak and 2 weeks latter she got worse in the hospital she suffered and then to worsen it all we lost her. we prayed and fasted while the doctors worked on her for weeks she was sick and now we have to face the world alone.

Im lightin this candle 4 ma dearest aunt. The strongest woman iv ever met, today makes it exactly 40 days u left this sinfull nd wicked world but thoughts of u still fill my heart. Tnx 4 being a great mom to us even though u never had kids. Adieu mummie, i love nd miss u dearly.

I light a candle for my friend and colleague who embark on everlasting journey and will never return (sunday 15th Aug 2010).

i light this candle to all those who have seen my face before but are on the other side of life:
my beloved dad, mum, sisters ozoemenne and rose. i am missing u all, i feel death shouldn't have come ur way all,
sleep in perfect peace.

RIP.

I wish you had known Christ but well, such is life.

God have mercy on us all.

i light this candle for a very dear friend OGECHI, who passed on two weeks to her wedding ( August 2009 )
i have never for once forgotten about you, even when the day seems so busy, i still see you smiling at me
i can't believe when you came to spend 3days with me b4 you passed on, it was your way of saying good bye
and you then passed on a day after you left my house, i still can't believe that we spoke few hours b4 you passed on, when you called to give me update about your wedding plans, i remember very clearly it was 10:30 pm and then i told you i was going to call you during the midnight call,
but you never picked the call untill today. i did not know you had started the everlasting journey b4 the night call. all i remember was you telling me you had tummyache because of your MP. and i find myself still asking if tummyaches kill. AK like you were fondly called R.I.P.

i also light this candle for a friend TOMIWA, who passed on few days to our passing out from NYSC ( JULY 2010 )
i saw you two days before, its unfortunate you were no longer with us when we were getting our discharge letter,
but i guess God had his own discharge letter to give to you for a job well done to your friends cos you were truly a friend.
Even when we were giving you the last respect and we were doing the lying in state for you, still looked so handsome like you were sleeping. i almost shouted April Fool that you were just joking with us because i can till swear that you smiled at me when i was passing by you. ''Showstopper'' like you were fondly called by friends R.I.P.

_{will be back shortly}

For my dearly beloved gentle mum who passed away Dec 1989 Last year was one of the toughest without you around Mum and for my ever loving dad who passed away 6 years after mum.

It has been rough, it has been tough but God has ever been so faithful. I would still have you as my parents in another life (if there is) but will pray God give you both longer lives. I know we have made you proud.

Wonder what life would have been like with you around Guess I can only wonder. I love you both dearly and miss you very much!

It's been 9 years since you left us, we miss you and we want you to know that we your boys are going to make you happy wherever you are now.

To my beloved dad!!!
