IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR DEAR MOTHER.


With heavy hearts and profound gratitude to God, we announce the passing of our beloved Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother, Sister, Aunt and Friend who has gone to be with her Lord and Saviour.
She lived a life of unwavering faith, grace, and compassion touching every heart she met with her kindness, wisdom, and strength. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in knowing she now rests in eternal peace, surrounded by the love she so freely gave. We love you mum.

We are going to miss you deeply, Mrs. Tella. Your beautiful spirit, compassion, and the love you shared will never be forgotten. Your legacy will forever remain with us, living on in the hearts and memories of all whose lives you touched.

May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

Mummy Tella was truly special, her kindness, warmth, and strength touched so many lives, including my family and I. I’ll always remember her gentle smile and the love she poured into everyone around her. She’ll never be forgotten. Thinking of you and your family today with love and deep sympathy.

Mummy we are going to miss you a lot. For who you were and what you stood for. You touched lives and brought smiles to people’s faces. Your heart was pure and God always gave you strength in many situation. We cannot be angry with God, because he created all of us, and we cannot question when he wants to take us. But this loss definitely hit many people badly. We take solace that your faith, actions and love make you a sure candidate to be in heaven. Till we see again mum, sleep well Mama Yetunde. We love you!
