This candle is for Victor Bossua.
Its been 3years since you left me and my life has not been the same. I miss you more and more by the minute. I remember the way you used to tease and bully me and I would do anything to have those days back. Every time I see something new or experience something different, I wish you were here to share the experience with me or at least for me to share the gist with you.
You know you were the only person who ever really understood me and its been hard dealing with the rest of the family because they just don't have a clue. I miss you soo much and I never got to tell you how much I really love you and how I always wanted you to be proud of me. I remember the way you were bragging to your friends when I got my straight A results, the pride in your eyes.
I will always love you my dearest brother. I can never get over losing you but I really wish I could see your face one last time.

Your Baby Sister
Victoria

I light a candle for my beautiful cousin Okwuchukwu Okonkwo, fondly called Junior. She was gunned down in front of a banks ATM machine in Awka, Anambra state by robbers. She died from the wounds on 15th November 2008. she had just graduated from Unizik. She was just 24 years.
I wept for the first time in a long while when i recieved the call.
I couldnt come back to Nigeria for your funeral, Junior. Know that i love you and i'll always miss your mischievious smile and laughter. May God grant peace to your young and gentle soul.

i have always skipped this thread cos i do not have any one to light a candle for until now.
i neva knew the importance of a thread like this until i had this experience.

This candle is for you Daddy- Atoyebi Sampson Olubisi
you were the best father i ever wished to have.
when i lost you on the 9th of january 2009, it was like the all of my world has crumbled
you meant so much to us all
and till now i don't believe am not going to see you any more
i miss u so much
but i know you made heaven
i will always celebrate the life you lived
yoe died a great man

A candle for my dear Daddy who passed away 5th May 2008. words cant express the emotions one feel at the loss of a loved one. i encourage myself, my family and everyone who has lost a loved one with these words;

Death can not be this final because the thought that this finallity is real and indeed the end makes this life meaningless. Because life is not meaningless, then death is only a transition to another realm of living, therefore in time we will all meet again.

i light a candle 4 my elder sis.31/03/2008 also to my elder bros.12/08/2008
i will never 4get u both, keep RESTING IN THE LORD.
It was really terrible ,i believe that the Lord give and takes.

I light a special candle for my late belove younger brother, MASTER MADUKA, UGOCHUKWU who passed away in October 2008.
You will always remain indelible in my heart, I love you with all my heart,but death whisked you away from me.
My head and heart is full of tears.
I miss you
Mummy miss you
Daddy miss you
Everybody is missing you.
ADIEU,ADIEU,ADIEU
REST IN THE BOSSOM OF THE ALMIGHTY!!!

Ur lifeless body in the mogue looked so much like u were just asleep.
Chukky,its over 3 years since u bn gone.
The good times friends had with you are endless memmory.
The lawn tennis u and i played together,the beach we all went to,the nite outs,
I still remember your last text message to me a day b4 ur untimely demise
telling me not to worry that u ll take care of friends at my dad's funeral by urself the following day not
knowing that that would be ur last day on earth.
Your aged dad grieves everyday.
Ur friends loved u but God loves u best.
Rest in Peace,the youngest doc as u were fondly called.

for my darlyn elder sister, who passed away on 10/3/2008. still seems like a dream!! sure will shall meet to part no more!

this candle is for my friend's fiance Tonia. she had a bike accident on the 17th of June 2009 and had a brain fracture, she survived the brain surgery but unfortunately died three days after from a cardiac arrest on the 22nd of June 2009

I close my eyes and see you there,you are gone but not forgotten, memories never grow old and they never go rotten, Good bye Tonia

AWWWWW daddy its going to be 5 years since you left us. Auntie, uncle and the rest of your extended family still hate us but by God's grace we have not had any reason to cry to them for help. Your grand daughter Siyaa is now 5 years old she is soo smart we tell her you called her queen. I have a son now his name is Igor samuel its sad you did not see him but he is a perfectionist like you and he is only 19 months old. Sisi misses you a lot she is doing fine except for her leg that hurts these days but God has proveded for us so far and we are taking care of her. I wish we were financialy cappable of taking care of you while you were sick uncle wouldnt have taken you to that native doctor where he said they should not treat you the englishway when you had tetanus You died without your family you died a lonely man I cry everyday for that I dont celebrate my birthday anymore cos you died on the 9th of may a day after my birthday. On my birthday I just say a quiet prayer for long life and remember that you were in such pain to depart the following day.

We still dont talk to your family except mommy Soto she stood behind us through the burrial she did not think you died because you were training us she did not bring any native doctor for sisi to swear her innocence of your death she was a pillar If you can see us down here smile at her.

I love you

I light a candle for you my dear Chidi.

Even though you were not family, you felt like one because you were there for me!

As I watched you fight for life two months ago, I knew the momnet you gave up the ghost that I was losing a part of me . . . forever!

I MISS YOU . . . so much it hurts!

And the other candle I light is for you my dear Daddy. Death snatched you away from me 5 years ago. And now it has taken Chidi away too!

I hope you will look after him for me, because he's soo young to be on his own out there.
