Ministry Without Walls.
I last saw Shola, over a year ago, at a lunch she hosted for Bolaji Osime and I at her lovely home. Adeshola Adeyemi-Bero was indeed a devoted Child of God and an exceptional humanitarian who ministered to the poor through her medical outreach at City Hall. Shola showed by her kindness to the poor that every child of God is a minister without walls. And that's a beautiful lesson she taught me: that if we look around us, we can lend a helping hand to those in need to the glorification of God. Adeshola had a quiet, reserved and pragmatic spirit with a strong identity of who she was in Christ. I know Shola is having a ball with the God she loved and served so well. Until we meet in heaven, say hello to Jesus and the saints for me Shola. Hugs

I'll miss you -
Love from Princess Chalya Miri-Gazhi

My dear sister Sola,

What a truly awful news. I am completely stunned and can't comprehend how God took you from us so young too soon. Your joie de vivre always Inspired me whenever we met at the club. You had such a zest for life..never complaining, always celebrating the good in people.

Thank you for being a wonderful big sister. I will miss you terribly. Rest in eternal peace until the day of our Lord. In Jesus Name. Amen

Sun re o.

It was a shock to hear of Shola's passing away. I truly wish I had kept in touch as I should have in later years. Shola was real; she was sincere, loving and kind. I can only pray that the Almighty shows her mercy, and comforts all those she left behind. Amen. Lots of love always

I just met you briefly; but your lovely personality impacted on me deeply. Your smile, your ever glowing skin radiated so much light & joy; who knew the battle you were going through. You consoled us & showed up ever so frequently when we lost Cees. You will be sorely missed. The Lord has called you home; rest in His presence.

Aunty Shols,

I still can't believe it. You have been there with me and Niyi since I can remember. Coming to visit us when we were in Amsterdam. Niyi and I visiting so we could rent movies every weekend, taking us to the book store when we were kids. You were always there to support our dreams, giving us the best advice. When Niyi and I will fight, you would laugh and listen to me vent about it, but always kept me level headed and grounded, and you continued to to do that into my twenties, although less about immature fights with my sibling, but really also helping guide me into decisions about my future as well. Supporting my fashion, and everything that comes with being artistic. I miss you so much. I was your look-alike, as many people said, and I hope in terms of your stylish, caring, giving, optimistic, and kind nature and can continue to share that on after this time. You took Niyi and I on like we were your own, and cared for us as much as my mum and dad do. This is really hard for me, and you will be missed,

Rest in Perfect peace my Aunty.
I love you.

I only remember Shola from back in the day. She was one year our junior in QC Yaba when I came back for my A Levels , after my Dad was posted back to Nigeria.

I remember her striking, pretty smile - she was very beautiful, vivacious, confident and popular. From all the memorials here, it sounds like Shola was a beautiful person indeed. And also a true Christian in every sense of the word - not just reciting Bible verses, but actually doing God’s work, with zeal and genuine compassion . Helping the needy. Showing real love to people she interacted with.
She has been called to meet her Maker, having done His will during her short time on this earth.

May God comfort, strengthen and uphold the entire family. Demola and family, e pele. Ki Olorun f’orun ke Shola.

May Shola’s beautiful, kind soul rest in perfect peace.
Dele Azeez

Sola, you were my school daughter in QC and over the years, we would bump into one another and pick up where we left off. Mischievous, full of love, kind hearted and ever smiling is how I will remember you.
Rest in perfect peace. We loved you but God loves you more. Sun re o.

Sola … May you travel safely home … rest in peace …

Auntie ‘Desola,

My goodness! Words fail me and I don’t even know where to begin.

You were a loving and consistent bestie to my late Auntie Niks and from that friendship - I grew very fond of you. You had a great character and I loved your smile, zest for life, beauty and intelligence. You were so so cool, a stress-free Auntie who just let us be - very unassuming and humble. You were so generous and gave back to the under-privileged without a fuss, truly a great example to follow.

Thank you for all you did - especially for being there for CJ, answering all his questions and giving him full access to you at all times. When I saw you on January 15th this year, I had no way of knowing it would be the last time - I wish we spoke for longer, hugged for longer, that you were here for longer.

We love you so much, but God loves you more. We will miss your smile and presence. Please give Auntie Niks and all the others in heaven big hugs. May your wonderful soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Shola, my dear friend and confidante, your sudden departure has left me at a loss for words. Like a bolt of lightning, this news has struck deep, leaving behind a profound ache in my heart.

Shola, your passion for a better Nigeria and your dedication to improving the education and health sector through your selfless initiatives will never be forgotten. Your unwavering commitment to empowering young people and impacting lives stood as a testament to the depth of your compassion.

A silent achiever, you were a candle in the wind, illuminating the lives of those around you with grace and warmth. You came, you saw, and you left an indelible mark—an enduring legacy of love and service.

As I mourn your absence and remember the enormity of all that you achieved, I take solace in knowing that you now rest in the loving embrace of the Lord you served so fervently. Your memory will continue to inspire us, and the shoes you left behind will serve as a reminder of the greatness you embodied.

Rest in peace, my dearest friend You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.

‘Déṣọlá!!!
You didn't say "Goodbye!"
I will miss our midnight gisting sessions, the rambling, the digressing and the 'a o pari ọrọ wa.' Devastated is the only word at play now, you left, meanwhile - 'a o pari ọrọ wa.'

You loved God, but God loves you so much that He came to pluck you early. Together we pulled off Olanike’s funeral in 8 days - your Cambridge English editing tributes and my eulogy. We practically did not sleep for those 7 nights.

You loved our culture and the richness of our traditional cloths. You insisted on full hand-woven traditional outfits to lay your Mom to rest. Thanks to me, Owolabi the tailor of Ijebu-Ode is still living. Thanks to you, the whole family was resplendent in our Yoruba glory. Well done, you were an amazing daughter, sister and Aunt. You were CJ’s other Mom, and for that I thank you.

You were my Mom’s daughter and ironically, my last hug was at Mummy’s 90th birthday in January. All the whatsapp chatting and talking cannot make up for that hug - I wish I had held you longer. Had I known it was our last on this side. 

With great Christian fortitude, we trudge on and hold on to our faith that we shall meet again on the Resurrection morning! Sun Re Adeṣọla,
Ọrẹ mi ọwọn.

Love from Princess Chalya Miri-Gazhi

Oga Demola here’s to offer my heartfelt condolences to you and the family on the sad passing of your dear Sister . I pray her gentle soul rests in God’s Perfect Peace. It is well

In loving memory of Madam Adeyemi Bero,
A beacon of kindness and compassion,
Your legacy shines bright, forever aglow,
A boss and philanthropist in whose heart goodness was fashioned.

You walked with grace, your spirit so kind,
Radiating warmth with every smile you wore,
In your presence, solace and comfort we'd find,
A nurturing soul, giving hope to the core.

As a boss, you led with wisdom and care,
Empowering those around you to thrive,
With guidance and support, you were always there,
Fostering growth, helping dreams come alive.

But your impact extended far beyond the office walls,
A philanthropic heart beating strong and true,
You saw the needs of others, answered their calls,
Spreading love and goodness in all that you'd do.

The underprivileged found solace in your embrace,
As you reached out with open arms, offering aid,
From shelter to education, you paved the way,
A true champion of justice, undeterred by any trade.

You believed in the potential of every human soul,
That kindness could ignite a spark within,
Your generosity touched lives, making them whole,
A testament to your spirit, akin to an eternal hymn.

Madam Adeyemi Bero, your memory we hold dear,
Your legacy engraved in our hearts forevermore,
Your kindness and philanthropy we'll always revere,
Inspiring us to follow in your footsteps, to explore.

Though you may have left this earthly plain,
Your impact lives on, an everlasting light,
Through your acts of kindness, we shall remain,
Carrying your legacy, shining ever so bright.

Thank you, Madam Adeyemi Bero,
For the love and good you brought to others' lives,
May your soul find eternal peace and serenity,
As your spirit continues to inspire and thrive.

And so we come to know ….we are all like candles in the wind.
You Shola though was a special candle. We met calmly and with grace in the presence of the Lord. We laughed, we shared ,we enjoyed the spiritual journey until your light went ….. only to us though on this side for as a child of the Almighty …..your journey in eternity continues in the great beyond. Fare thee well Shola. May perpetual Light remain with you for all of eternity. RIP

(NIECE)

My Aunty Shola,

Am I really writing a tribute?

I’ve been at a loss for words since I received the unimaginable news.
What a blessing and a privilege to have experienced you. I did not know the time I saw you in February would be the last.

Thankyou for showing up for me countless times but most recently in December at my wedding, it meant so much to me. I’m glad I told you.

Growing up, you ALWAYS gave me a listening ear.
Thankyou also for all the “Seyi I’m going to report you to your dad”. It shaped me.

I couldn’t possibly write about all the individual memories.

Thankyou for being a true role model for me and I hope to be able to continue to grow and exhibit the many lessons you’ve taught me as I continue my own life journey.

I will remember you for your impeccable taste in everything, top recommendations for anything, your beautiful smile, your love for Christ, enterprising nature, your love for consistently helping and being there for others and your ability to love and scold me equally as hard.

You were truly special, a light! Wish we had more time.

Rest peacefully in the bosom of your maker whom you adored; I love you. Please say hi to Nole.

With fondest memories,
Oluwaseyi.

Sola it’s so sad to know that you left this world at this time. You did so much for the down trodden in your own little way. You were such a sweet person to know. I know that the consolation is that you’ve made it to the other end joining the saints triumphant. Rest in Peace.

Sola this news is so sad. Why you Sola? Class of 1972 of Mainland Prep Schl just opened an alumni group. We have all been asking about u. It came to us as a shock this morning to read u are gone. Sola Bero rest in peace. We the class of 1972 bid u farewell.

Dear Aunty Shola,
The last few days haven’t felt real due to you not being with us anymore. I remember all the times Derin and I would come over to your house as children to watch movies and how into our twenties you were still very much involved in our lives, wether it was giving us life advice or baking delicious pastries. This is such a loss as Aunty was such a loving person that cared about the well being of other people especially those who didn’t have much.

You will be missed dearly Aunty. May you rest in peace. We love you

When I heard of your sudden death I was shocked and sad. I remembered when we were growing up with your niece and nephew Titi, Lere, Shade n Wole with bro. Lade, how u will come around and you always gift us something everytime you come. Also, when I saw you at Ikoyi boat club both of us coming from work and the way you were happy to see me. You still gift me some money as you always do.
I pray your beautiful soul find rest in the bossom of the Lord.
Rest in peace auntie Shola

Aunty Shola,

This is too sad to write.

You were still so bright and your warm, loving self at Christmas with the rest of the family, that is what I'm seeing right now.
I am so sorry, your dear niece my wife has been up and down but at night, she's broken.
You were always so pleasant, kind and offered soothing words to every situation, we will miss you. The children don't understand they wouldn't see you anymore.

Rest in perfect peace ma, till we meet to part no more.

I really love you my friend and I must tell those who do not know why . Your gentle sweet voice.Your level of Cambridge intelligence.Your humility,your charm,your black beauty.Your work ethic,your elegance.You and I would talk for hours on the phone about every subject under the sun.When in your company it was impossible to be bored!Your generosity to the poor and underprivileged so worthy of emulation!I shall never forget those hours spent in that cute house of yours designed by Siji overlooking the lagoon..you had those luscious mangoes from the North and taught me your special way of cutting them....you would slice it in half side ways from end to end.Then lacerate the sliced mangoe into strips side to side top to bottom then push from the bottom and all those strips would just invite you to feast easily!How can I forget those moments?You were there as one of the Aunties for my son CJ when Nike passed.Thank you so much for your wise counsel and nurturing the boy who lost his cherished Mum.Rest in the Lord Sola,you gave us no notice that you had even a headache.I will miss you so much.Until we meet again in the next world.Good bye and Goodnight.With so much love in my heart,sleep well,eternal sleep!

Shola is a unique and exemplary human being. A good friend and great inspiration to in my Christian walk. To have been allowed to observe her devotion to God and her matchless charitable service was and is a precious gift l will treasure ad infinitum..

She worshiped in Spirit and in truth. . Shola made difficult things seem easy.. She possessed an understated genius. She laughed easily and thought the best of people. A Cambridge graduate who could relate with the poor and the rich and educated with equal grace, warmth and efficacy.

Here is a life well lived, a selfless life ,immaculately expressed to reflect God's love joy goodness , gentlenes and greatness....a life lived with distinction and valour that her family must be proud of.

Shola was lovely inside and out.
She has carried her cross . She has done well.
Truly our loss iis Heaven's gain .
She is in God's bosom.

Ahh Shols ...Love you so much. Learnt so much from you...still much to learn. ..Thank you so much ...God bless you.

What a shock! Sis Shola was my official school mother at Queens College. We had a special bond. What can I say, we give the Almighty God all the glory, he knows best. May the Almighty God comfort and strengthen your siblings and the entire Adeyemi-Bero family and may your sweet soul rest in peace, Amen.

Aunty Shola hmm, , so sad that I will be writing this for you..
I remember the old days when you come visiting my mum, late Adenike ~Adeyemi bero , all your love and scolding me and my siblings and when I was with my grandma, late modupe Adeyemi bero ( mummy Fadeyi) as well. I really appreciate your kindness and support one way or the other towards me and my siblings..

Aunty, now that my children are grown and getting to know you more , hmmm so sad to say but it’s the truth.. the Lord almighty called you to HIS glory, my children and I will miss you .
I know you will be with Jesus Christ singing and praising HALLELUJAH
REST IN PEACE ❤️

*A WINNING SMILE …*

Beautiful dear sister with a winning smile .. Adeshola .. I remember our Queens College days and then the family ties we shared as young ladies, parties and events. It’s sad you did not live long to share old age with family and friends but I thank God that you knew Jesus and loved him! Adieu .. you simply slipped from this world into the place all the righteous pray to go … paradise.
We shall surely all be joined together and abide in heaven In Jesus Mighty Name. Rest well in peace.
Grace, Mercy, Love Abides now and forever ! Amen.

My TRIBUTE

ASHOLLY!!!!

It’s so surreal!!

That me, Adebola, will be writing a Tribute, about you, Shols!!!

My next of kin in all my documentations!!!

My only remaining full blooded Sister!!!
My Baby!!!
My Pillar!!!
My Strength!!!
The Strongest link for us all!!!

You were everything and have left us all devastated, bewildered and bemused!!!

Shols you were dignity personified!!

You remained your strong self till the very end.

LESSONS FROM YOUR BEAUTIFUL LIFE:
•You lived for all, cared for all, looked out for all, Family, Friends alike.
•You cared for the needy, the helpless and the lowest:
• You reached out to those in need and not waiting for them to seek you out for assistance.

Asholly, I don’t know where to go from here but I await God’s directions and have full confidence that HE has immediately taken you unto HIS loving bosom on that very day.

I was witness to you fighting life’s final battle with pain with your usual strength and and dignity.

     *AMEN*.
 From:- *Wole ATUNRASE*

Sister Sola,

I am still in shock. We were all together at Uncle Babafemi's 10th-anniversary gathering in April. I remember you were so full of smiles .Little did I know that it would be the last time I would see you. You were such a kind and easygoing person, always checking in on everyone. May your gentle soul rest in peace.

Your cousin Moji Majasan

Hmmm...A S H O L L Y

My precious darling Shols

I am still in a trance. In great disbelief.
Watching you fighting gallantly those gruesome last few hours showed how determined you were to stay alive.
Your faith in the LORD grew stronger as you had your Bible closely by your side.
You reached out to the helpless infants who needed nourishment and revived them.You further reached out to poor children that had eyes and hearing problems and provided adequate solutions without expecting any reward.
Only saints on earth can venture into such exemplary human sacrifice.
I believe the LORD saw this quality in you and wanted you for more mission in HIS bosom.

Shols you will be greatly missed by
us all...irreplaceable. Your love, care and advice for every one close to you... unparalleled.

Asholly...GOOD BYE, GOOD NIGHT, GOOD BYE...

Uncle Shegs.

Adesola Rest in perfect peace. We hate to lose you, but we know God knows best . May our good Lord give us the fortitude to bear this great loss IJMN. Amen
Deola.

Sola your death came as a rude shock because I had not seen you in a while. You were one of my favourites when I came to Queens College Yaba, for my A Levels. You were smart, nice and very beautiful. As the years passed you just maintained your glow and sweet smile. You were ever so polite and warm when our paths crossed. I thank God you knew The Lord and though you left us early to your final resting place,we thank God for the time you spent with us. My condolences to the entire Adeyemi Bero family because you have indeed lost a gem.To Ade my brother and my doctor be strong in The Lord and the power of His might.You are in our thoughts and prayers. It's a bitter pill to swallow but The Lord will see you through. Shalom

Dear Sola, what a shock to hear about your passing. You were one year my junior in Queens College and also a niece and first cousin to my guardians the Odubanjo’s. You are gone too soon. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace, Amen

Shola, Your willingness and commitment to helping those in need were second to none. You left the trailblazing for others to follow. Time may pass away but the memories you left behind cannot be erased. We can never forget you. Gone too soon

We will miss her greatly. Her smiles were healing.She was kind and gentle ; she listened with empathy and understanding. Our deepest condolences. May her gentle and kind soul rest in perfect peace. Dr Oyedapo Oyetunde on behalf of Roding Healthcare Ltd.

Shola Bero! Your passing is such a shock! This life. Words fail me. Once so close then so far. Strangely enough Thought of you last week & waved if off with a Sola doesn’t ask of one ojare. Now I wonder if you were trying to bid me farewell.

Rest in peace. God light the path of your journey to him in Heaven. Amen

Aunt Shols,

As I sit here, reminiscing about the beautiful memories we shared, my heart fills with both joy and sadness. Joy, because I was fortunate enough to have you in my life, and sadness, because I miss you deeply. Today, I want to pay tribute to you, my beloved aunt, for the incredible person you were and the lasting impact you've had on my life.

From the moment I was born, you embraced me with open arms and a warm smile. You had a way of making everyone feel loved and cherished, but your affection for me was always special. You were my confidante, my mentor, and my guide through life's ups and downs.

Your wisdom and guidance were unparalleled. Whenever I faced a difficult decision, you were there to offer your advice, never imposing but always encouraging me to find my own path. Your words of wisdom still resonate within me, guiding me even in your physical absence.

Your kindness knew no bounds. You had a heart that overflowed with compassion for others. I witnessed countless acts of selflessness as you reached out to those in need, offering your support and love without hesitation. Your generosity taught me the value of giving, and I strive to emulate your giving spirit each day.

Your zest for life was infectious. I remember the laughter that filled the room whenever you were present. Your vibrant energy and enthusiasm for every moment were truly inspiring. You taught me the importance of embracing life's joys, savoring each experience, and finding happiness in the simplest of things.

When life threw its challenges my way, you were providing unwavering support and encouragement. Your unwavering belief in my abilities gave me the strength to persevere and overcome obstacles. You showed me that resilience and determination can conquer any adversity.

The memories we created together will forever hold a special place in my heart. From family gatherings filled with laughter and love to the quiet moments we shared, each memory is a treasure I will cherish forever. Your presence brought light and warmth into our lives, and though you may no longer be here in person, your spirit continues to shine brightly.

Today, I say goodbye not with sadness, but with gratitude for having had the privilege of calling you my aunt. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of all those whose lives you touched.

So, as I bid farewell with heavy tears rolling down my cheeks, I celebrate your life and the incredible person you were. Thank you for your unconditional love, and for the precious memories we shared. Though you may be gone, your spirit lives on within me, guiding me, and reminding me to live each day with purpose and love.

Rest in eternal peace, my dearest aunt.

With all my love,
[Adewole Adegoke Adeyemi]

Hmmmmmm...
Such a shock to hear of Shola's passing on. But the Good Lord knows best. She was my junior in Queens College and had not seen her in years. But l remember her loping strides...a girl then who was so sure of herself.
May her soul rest in The Lord's bosom.
May her entire family, friends and colleagues be comforted. Amen

Shola, you were so full of life here below that I can only imagine your grand entrance into our heavenly abode. !! Gone too soon!!! I can still hear your sweet voice speaking to me. Though a lawyer by profession, your Ministry works were far exceeding most and far reaching!  I remember our first project together was to help a young lady rehabilitate her life through surgery. After that successful endeavor, you went on to help a security guard have surgery and even went on to open a free clinic!!

You amaze me with your tenacity and your grace.  I will miss our long conversations and always remember your faith even on your bed of affliction. Your projects continued with helping school children get free testing for their ears. 

When I planned to publish my first book, it is you who after reading the first few pages, told me it would become a movie and encouraged me greatly. You were such an incredible encourager and phenomenal conversationist! You were a light and beacon of hope for many! You will be forever missed dear sister.

I know you are now one in the crowd of witnesses cheering us on here below!!
I love You to life! Rhonda Wilson-Dikoko


 

Although we all wished for you to still be with us, your Maker has decided that it is now time you rest from your labors on this earth. You have been a blessing to several lives and will be greatly missed. Rest on Aunty Shola

Adesola, My besto before before. My chief bridesmaid. We always pick up from wherever we left off as if no time passed. I can’t condense over 50 years on a page. I will keep the memories. To remain in the heart’s of those who love you is not to die. You were many things to many people. Wishing things could have been different, able to swap stories in old age. Rest on Sholly é. Ki Olorun ko fi orun ke é.

My dear Sholly,
I’m in complete shock ! You were so full of life. You helped in organizing my 70th last year, advising me on which caterers to use etc. How did this happen?
O ye Olorun. He has called you home and we cannot question Him.
You were a lovely soul inside and out. May your dear soul rest in perfect peace . Amen
