The 16th President of Association of Professional Women Engineers of Nigeria (APWEN)My darling wife, friend, companion and a loving mother, we walked this life together through the ups, and the downs, the happy times and times of challenges.
You were a source of my strength and the pillar of our home till your painful departure in the early hours of the most regrettable day of my life, 22nd March, 2023, a year today.
You are indeed a woman to be reckoned with. You proved that, throughout your career story and in all that you laid your hands on.
Funmilola, Kikelomo omo Jekayinfa, aya Ojelade, the intelligent, the adventurous, the leader; you were created with a result oriented resolve to achieve. My inestimable jewel, I salute your tenacity.
My siblings and yours loved you with a passion. Friends surrounded and celebrated you. You were fun to be with. Your beauty was obvious for all to see. ‘Aya mi atata’ thank you for the beautiful memories you left behind. My partner in the journey of this world for so many years.
Eniola would be told what great mother and achiever of greatness you were. I can see traits of you manifesting in Eniola.
Thank you for leaving behind such a gift and future genius.
As a man of faith, I seek my comfort from the God of Jacob who called you unto Himself.
The battle was fierce but you fought it with dignity and faith. Rest in peace my lovely one till we meet again to part no more.
In summary Funmilola aya mi atata
. You gave the heart that cared completely
. You gave the smile that brought so much pleasure
. You gave the love that brought joy beyond measure
Sunre o aya mi atata.
Tunji Ojelade
(Husband)
