TO A MUM AND A FRIEND Adee! as you were fondly called by everyone. The news of your passing pierced my heart with deep pain. I held on to the hope of visiting you again and seeing your warm smile; yet, in His infinite wisdom, it pleased the Lord to call you home to Himself. You loved me as one of your own children, always embracing me fully and including me in the life of your family. For this boundless love, I am profoundly grateful. Thank you for your selfless service, your countless sacrifices, and your generous heart, offered not only to your children but to all whom God placed in your path. Most cherished of all is your life of prayer and your sincere, unwavering devotion to God and His Holy Church. Your faith spoke louder than words and your example continues to preach. Your legacy lives on, vividly reflected in the lives, values, and faith of your children. Adieu, Ezinne. Rest peacefully in the loving embrace of the Father you served so faithfully. Your memory remains a blessing. Prayerfully yours, Sr. Marie Andre

*In Loving Memory of Ezinne Cordelia Ijeoma Ofurum* We remember a woman whose warmth lit every room she entered—Ezinne Cordelia Ijeoma Ofurum. Her gentle spirit, unwavering kindness, and the sweet laugh that echoed through our campus will forever be a part of our shared story. She taught us that strength isn’t just about what we accomplish, but about the love we share with family, friends, and strangers alike. Whether she was offering a listening ear or sharing a homemade meal that reminded us of home, her generosity touched us all. Mama, we will carry your legacy forward—by supporting one another, by showing compassion, and by living with the same grace you embodied. Rest in peace, Ezinne. Your love remains with us, guiding us each day. Mrs. Elizabeth Chiaka Ikemere (nee Aguh)

Dear mama, thank u for the beautiful life u lived here on earth, thank you for the many memories u shared with the people around you. May God rest your soul, and may the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God find rest amen.

May the kind soul of Mama continue to rest in the bosom of our dear Lord 🙏

"Grandma, you were the heartbeat of our family. Your warmth, love, and generosity touched countless lives. We'll cherish memories of laughter, stories, and wisdom shared. Your legacy lives on in our hearts. Rest in peace, we love you."

To the woman who never needed to be my mother by blood to treat me like her own: I say “thank you”. Walking into your home always felt like walking into a sanctuary. It wasn’t just the warmth of your smile; it was the peace of the Holy Spirit that clearly dwelt within your walls. You were more than just a parental figure to most of us who were associated to you through your children; you were an example of what it meant to walk daily with Christ. You didn't just tell people about God’s love; you showed it through your selfless heart and your unwavering devotion to your church and community. You had a way of seeing when anyone around you was troubled without them saying a word, your kitchen which I experienced a couple of times was the site of some of my life’s most important lessons—lessons rooted in grace, forgiveness, and the Word. You didn't just raise my best friend; you helped raise me in the way I should go. We are heartbroken that you are gone, but I find immense comfort knowing you are now resting in the arms of the Master you served so faithfully. You fought the good fight, you finished the race, and you kept the faith. You were to many who knew you 'a bonus' mom and a sister in Christ, and we will carry your light and your prayers with us forever. Rest in Heaven, Adee, where there is no more pain, only the 'Well done' of your Good and Faithful Servant. Sidney E. Eluwah

I have not met Ezinne in person but by the character of the children it is not difficult to know the kind of person she was. She must be an awesome person to be emulated and that rubber off on the children. May her soul rest in peace.

Ezinne Cordelia Ifeoma Ofurum was a kind, gentle, and loving woman whose life touched many. Her warm smile, caring heart, and humble spirit will always be remembered. Though she is no longer with us, her goodness lives on in the lives she influenced. May her peaceful soul rest in eternal rest.

Adim is the most beautiful and Precious thing that has ever happened in My life since I was 4yrs. A Senior Sister who turns out to be a mother, friend, a mentor spiritual director, an encourager.and my gossip mate. She's what I describes as a Woman of Faith and Virtuous in her own time. I learned so many things from her, how to be strong, to believe strongly in God and our Mother Mary. Adenne your yes is your yes and your no is your no. To always say the truth no matter all odds.( Appolonia the truth is far but one day it will surely surface whenever the evil people are suppressing the truth) that's her comment because of the injustices we all passed through in life. Adim You are a wonderful woman, a virtuous woman in your time, A woman of God. The first Woman that has read a reading in our Lady of Lourdes and St Micheal Catholic Church ( Avu/Umuguma) You showed me Love 💕 unconditional love I must say. So many things to be said but let me leave it, because God knows and sees and will surely reward you accordingly, out of His mercy and love, Oh Adim a Simple and a real daughter of Mary and Jesus laa na udu. You don't talk too much but action taker is what you were known for. Eternal rest grant onto her soul oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her may her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace amen 🙏💖. I love you.

By the character and attitudes of her children she has left behind, I can state without any reservations that Mama was a virtuous woman full of the grace of the Lord. She lived gloriously and trained her children in the ways of the Lord. Adieu and continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty Creator.

A Life well lived. A role model for all to follow. May you continue to rest in the peace of Christ. Amen
