On the special occasion we would like to
pay tribute to our Mother - and wish her
the greatest blessing of the Almighty
God.
Mothers are everything for us when we are small… For
everything that we need we call Mother, to protect us from
all perceived dangers; we want Mummy around us for a
warm hug and a kiss of love.
Mother, you taught me, we all have the ability to keep going
even when we face challenges in our lives, we can either
have a positive attitude towards life, or a negative attitude,
you taught us to focus on the good and keep a positive
mental attitude, - as this is one of the keys to success.
We remember your prayers Mother and they have always
followed me. They have clung to us all our lives and will
continue to steer and guide us.
Thank you Mother for all that you have done to make our life
a happier one, for showing love through kind quiet deeds,
for always fulfilling our families need for guidance, sympathy,
laughter, tears of unfaltering patience and help through the
years for all you devotion and wonderful ways.
Happy 80th birthday we love you Mum! Your son,
Segun & Moji Oyekan
We would like to take this time and
opportunity to share someone very
special with you our Mother.
A woman is celebrated for the love she inspires in her
family and friends. My mother is a woman whose love and
generosity is unlimited.
Maami, you taught us through your words and actions,
the meaning of love, honesty, hard work and making
sacrifices. What seemed to us to be bitter trials turned out
to be abundant blessings in disguise. You taught us to
believe in the power of possibilities and believe you can
accomplish anything you put your mind to.
Mummy, you are a remarkable woman. Your goodwill and
tenacity has not only been an attribute that enabled your
success but it also transcended through the generations
of our family and facilitated all of us in many ways.
Mummy, you are our encouragement, my strength and
wisdom every day. You enabled us to be able to believe
and realised our dreams. You have always stood behind
your children and always accepted us as the people we
are. We have been truly blessed to have such a wonderful,
hardworking and prayerful mother whom we can also call
our friend. Thank you Mummy for everything you've ever
done for me, I love and respect you very much!
Your loving children,
Remi & Kemi Olumuyiwa
Words really fail me when we try to
describe the love and affection you have
showered on us since our childhood.
This has never clouded your demand for
disciplined behaviour, thoroughness
and the truth.
You are a pillar of strength, wisdom and a marbled
fountain from which love and kindness spouts. All
who have crossed your path have the same story to
tell.
As you reach the diamond 80, we pray for many
more years of bliss, even as we thank God for the
years that we have enjoyed, and that have shaped
our very beings.
To my truly 'one in a billion mother'. We love you on
this day, and on every single day.
Your baby,
Muyiwa & Tola Oyekan
Esteemed Mum, Words cannot express
how good you are. Your like is hard
to find, you gave us life, hope for
tomorrow, you nurtured me to this stage
and beyond in life.
Sweet mummy, you are such a caring, loving and
supportive mother; how many wonderful things
can we say about you? We celebrate you today and
forever, great MUMMY.
We wish you happiness, long life and unity in the
family.
Thank you mum for your love and kindness towards
my family we really appreciate you Happy 80th
Birthday! Lots of Love.
You will continually reap the fruits of your labour
and the good name you have created everywhere
you go – Amen.
