Toyin, This new reality of going to your house and only seeing your fotos is surreal. 1 year on and it's still tough to deal with. Everyone is grieving in their way but God is healing us. Continue to rest in the bossom of Jesus.
Toyin, one year already. I miss your voice calling me Broda Antho. I miss your rattling my window instead of knocking on my door. We miss dearly my sister. However, my joy is in the fact that you are in a better place. Continue to rest Toyin.
My dear àbúrò, we continue to remember you with good memories every day. We miss you but God loves you more and knows best. Continue to rest peacefully in God’s grace.
Happy heavenly birthday my lifetime friend. I celebrate the amazing person you are. Thank you for encouraging me to go for my Masters a few years back - I summoned the courage to go for it and made you proud. Thank you for being a beautiful and inspirational soul, I'll cherish what we share forever.
Mrs Grace Labode was an indomitable force who defied the limitations of the human condition. She had convictions that were unshaken by the vicissitudes of fate. She remained brilliant in darkness, joyful in pain, humorous in suffering and independent of pity. I was graced to have cared for her medical needs, however briefly during her visit to Nigeria. Even posthumously, the light of her memory shines clemently on the downtrodden and poor. She will ever be fondly remembered. Till we meet again, Adieu Madam.
I was shocked to hear you passed. I came to your house last time to help do the house cleaning as I used to do and I was hoping to see you again coming downstairs with that your smiling face to greet me and to say congratulations to my new house before you go out and then I didn’t see you coming downstairs till I went upstairs to clean and you’re not there and after I finished cleaning and about to go then I decided to asked your husband about you then he told me you have gone to heaven this is biggest shocked in my life, you are wonderful and kind woman, I really missed you please enjoy your heaven.

Rest in paradise to this beautiful soul. May you find eternal rest and happiness in the most high. I thank you for all your service to me and your invaluable kindness. You have been a wonderful servant of Christ. May the Lord guide and bless your family. Thank you for everything. R.I.P Mrs grace ❤️
I was so shocked to hear you had passed. You were such a wonderful, kind, generous lady and I appreciated you a great deal. I wish I had called more or texted more.
I know that we will meet again soon. I look forward to seeing you again in the Father’s arms. Rest well Sis Grace.
I just want to thank God for the amazing life you’ve lived Aunty, you’ve been a huge blessing to my life, and I’m sure you were a huge blessing in many other people’s lives. Not once did I ever see you angry or without joy, you would always bring happiness and joyfulness whenever I saw you.
Although it’s sad that you have gone, instead of dwelling on that, I celebrate you for the profoundly favoured and amazing life you have lived. You are the reason I take the course that I take In university, If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have had the necessary guidance needed for the direction of my life, regarding my professional career.
As such, I know I must do well, as a sign of my gratitude for your help and assistance. I’m so grateful to God that you were put in my life, the memories we share will never be forgotten, you will be greatly missed Aunty. I pray that you are in the comfort of the Lord.
My darling sis. as I fondly call you, I still can't find words to express my pain at your passing. Our friendship and sisterhood of over two decades bear witness to the saying - "a friend who sticks closer than a brother"! Toyin, you were my sister from another mother, my cheerleader, my fashion police, chief organizer, gist buddy, confidant, go-to person and I can go on and on.
Even though I’m still trying to make a sense of your passing but I’m consoled by the many memories we shared.
Sis, you were so loving, beautiful, brilliant, giving, energetic, intentional and audacious. I’m writing now out of gratitude that I had you in my life. Thanks for sharing yourself with my family and me. Rest well darling sis. Rest well Toyin till we meet again at Jesus’ feet.
Dear Sis Grace, You are indeed a sweet and precious soul. Witty and humorous and always a joy to be around. You surely did impact many lives. You are sorely missed by all your friends and loved ones. Till we meet again, may your soul rest peacefully in the Lord. Love ❤️ lots, Agnes, Joe, Ethan & Keren-Grace.
Auntie Toyin was a very kind, friendly and lovely person. She has a very lovely smile that brightens up every where. She has a vast knowledge and she contributes positively to every discussion. She made my Uncle(Cousin) complete. She was a perfect match for him. The assurance we have is that you love and serve the Lord. Auntie Toyin , you would be really missed. Sleep well in the bosom of the Lord.
Dearest Toyin, it’s been so difficult to write this and say good bye. I will miss your gentle teasing of Tolu my son. You would say omo daddy Tolu in that your voice. The last time I saw you, you looked after Tono my younger son. Always willing to help even at short notice. So strong in your faith and believe of God. You lived a life of impact. You left your mark. Good night my darling Toyin, sleep well.
Tribute to Aunty Grace Aunty Grace was so kind, thoughtful and generous with her time. She was also quite wise who I could always depend on to give me good advice. I will never forget the way Aunty Grace would be my voice and help my to express the way I was feeling and how I viewed the world. I’ll always treasure the memories that we made, especially all the farm trips we had. I especially loved the last trip that I had with her. I’m glad to have those memories so I could look back on them. We miss you so much, Aunty Grace. We know you are safe with God in heaven.
I remember the first time I met sis Grace, during my wedding 11 years ago, she gave me a very valuable advice. A beautiful and gentle soul. May your soul Rest in peace.

Toyin, My wife and I remember how you made it easy for us to serve God, taking care of our kids in Children's church (hmm...especially our son!). Still remember your business advice, "You make money using money". You were ever so impressionable! Always spoke your heart! We will miss dearly! Rest in peace!
Toyin, sat next to you and Lekan in December not knowing that would be the last time I saw you. This is shocking. You were a strong and forthright woman, hard working and jovial. It really was a great pleasure knowing you and you are missed.
Aunty aunty aunty! Just mentioning your name brings joy to my heart and seeing you smile I can’t help but smile too, although you've left such a gap. That joyful look you always had brought joy to myself and others around you. Your radiant energy was contagious to all. You’ve always been a big supporter of my life and I thank you for that. Even though I can no longer see you, I know you’re still supporting me from above. When I was told you passed away peacefully with a smile, I was relieved and I thought that is so you. I will miss you dearly, but you will always live on in my memories. May your soul rest in peace Aunty Toyin and may the Lord provide peace, comfort and strength to Uncle Lekan and us all. Shalom.
Toyin, you are such a lovely, enthusiastic, vibrant, generous and innovative soul and it’s shocking to hear you are no longer here. I know you are in a better place and we rejoice in the fact that we will all sometime meet in the blossom of Christ where all the tears will be wiped from our eyes. Rest in Peace Toyin. Our God will continue to comfort Lekan and all that you’ve left behind in this trying time.
We met Ms Grace at Winners Chapel international, Children church, where we both serves God together. We are sisters, pray together, do welfare together on our teachers just enjoy serving God together. We were both teachers in the same class and at some point she was the team leader. Ms Grace like we fondly call ourselves in the children's church, she loves God and the children. I can forget how we used to go and prepare and arrange the class on Saturdays for Sunday services, she just enjoys serving God. Ms Grace is so unique, she doesn't forget the children names with numbers of children that we have in the children church, hmmm heaven general. I can forget how my little girl too used to look for her in the church in any programme and she can't wait to hear Ms Grace calls her "Opeyemi super" it comes to a point where everyone knows them together "Ms Grace and Opeyemi super" like she fondly call her. Pages of books or words of mouth cannot complete the attributes and qualities of Ms Grace. Can't forget when my husband handover my one of my daughters to Ms Grace for her to be her mentor, such a great and profitable decision. The impact and memories of Ms Grace are unforgettable. We pray to God to keep and uphold the family and all she left behind.
My dear Grace, I remember you with fondness, how you called my name, and did your mouth, how you rolled your eyes and said, really, really, ehn, your humour, how I will share Ibadan jokes with you and you mimic them and we would laugh. I will never forget, most especially how you were there for me in my darkest moments. You were always looking out for me and encouraging me, sending me thumbs up, and words of encouragement. You are with The Lord now, I can imagine you looking down and wondering why we are sad. Rest in the bosom of our Lord till we meet again. You were such a sweetheart ❤️
Toyin, When there is no word that can express how one feels, all that is left is to give thanks to God on your behalf for making you such a beautiful gift to the world. With a heavy heavy I say RIP. Steve
Toyin, you are an amazing, wonderful, blessed woman of God. Thank God for the many lives you touched. Always enjoyed every time we got to spend together though not many but always impactful. I admired your lack of fear of man and how you were always straightforward, candid, and truthful. You and Lekan always made me feel so special. I’m grateful to God that I can boldly say I’ll see you again.
Hmmmm sister grace...Where do I start from....Can't believe you've left us. Let me start with our first meeting . I was introduced to you by sister Chioma at the time my business was struggling. Your God given wisdom was applied to my business and lo and behold the turnaround came through. Thank you for nominating me for career nuggets award 2021. Much appreciated You were such a blessing to me and my family.....Continue to rest in peace. Sis Grace Amen . Denis Ofodile- lulu bread
Paul and Grace made sure I rekindled my love for Christ. They went out of their way to pick me up every Sunday and take me to Church. I am yet to meet a couple that selflessly threw themselves into charitable projects without seeking recognition or adulation. You will be missed, Grace. Paul needs all of us right now because she was his everything.
Thank you. For being there for me when I needed someone, you were there at my lowest, thank you and thank God for you. I trust that God will continue to uphold brother Lekan and the family.
T for Toyin, my dear & only sister, One year on since your transition to glory, we miss you but know that you are in a better place. Your sweet memories remain with us and you will not be forgotten. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord, dear àbúrò.
Grace, I was one of your many people that you helped. I saw you for over 5 years and I went from weekly meetings to monthly then 6 months passed. You are solely responsible for helping me out of my spiral of depression and have made me the person I am today and words cannot express how eternally thankful I am for your wisdom, skill and simply compassion. Sleep well Grace rest in peace x
Dear Sis To Godbe the glory - in all things we give thanks. It was a rude shock to hear of your passing but the Lord knows best. We love you here but Jesus loves you more, I pray that the Lord will comfort your family left behind. You fought the fight, you won the race and we know you are in a better place. Rest in peace my Sister
So sorry to hear about your passing, prayed and hoped for a different outcome. Thank you for touching my family the way you did, we will never forget you. I know you are in a better place even though you will be sorely missed. Adieu
