Good night to the Great Teacher of teachers. I'm proud to have been taught by you. 
In the words of the renowned Professor Friday Okonofua, "any doctor in Nigeria that does not know the name Grillo, should be investigated ".

I am so sad this morning to learn of the passing on to glory of Professor Dorothy Baxter-Grillo, who was until date a professor of Anatomy at the University of Benin.
Professor Baxter-Grillo taught me Anatomy at the 100 level at the University of Ife. Born a Jamaican, and later married to a Nigerian, Professor Adesanya Ige Grillo, she has lived in Nigeria since the 1960s - first at the University of Ibadan, later the University of Ife (now the Obafemi Awolowo University) and finally the University of Benin. I am pleased that at the time I was Provost of the Medical School in Benin, I was able to convince her to transfer her services to the University to galvanise the training of medical students. And, I am exceedingly grateful that successive Vice-Chancellors at the University of Benin have been able to retain her from that date till now. And they consistently treated her well and with great respect!

No doubt, it is evident that Professor Grillo until her death is a Nigerian - loved by Nigerians. She taught Anatomy to several generations of Nigerians with great passion and relish.
At 90+, she remained indefatigable and strong, a visionary leader in the field of anatomy that will be missed by ALL Universities in Nigeria and a great example in leadership, tenacity, and purposefulness.
To this day, Professor Baxter-Grillo and Professor Adesanya Ige Grillo are legendary names in the field of anatomy in Nigeria. Indeed, I believe any medical doctor who read medicine in Nigeria, and says he/she hasn't heard the name "Grillo" ought to be investigated.
On this note, I pray fervently for the repose of the soul of Professor (Mrs.) Dorothy Baxter-Grillo. May the good Lord spare her soul enabling her to rest peacefully in the deeper and most comfortable recesses of our Lord's temple
