Edith. I’ve avoided writing this since I heard of your passing to glory. I just couldn’t bring myself to pay tribute because I guess that would have made it real. I take solace in knowing that you are at peace and pain free. I have been recalling all the times we had together in Ibadan with our children. Your sweet smile, giving nature, work ethics, strength in times of adversity. Really, as we say in Yoruba, ‘ílè ńje ènìà. Rest In Peace, my dear friend. The heavens have really gained a beautiful soul. To Bisoye and sisters, God be with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Adieu, mama T, till we meet to part no more. Mrs Abosede Akinnola.
