HOW I CHOOSE TO REMEMBER YOU, IYOM
In class, we affectionately called you Iyom, a title I never fully understood until now. Discovering its meaning - a respected woman, embodying femininity - I realized how fitting it was for you, Nneka. You truly were our Iyom.
I remember your graceful dance moves, radiating joy with every step. Your exceptional Excel skills and ability to simplify complex financials left me in awe, and I learned so much from you. How could I forget your exceptional multitasking skill. You were really not a ‘mere mortal’.
I remember the wise counsel you offered, your support for every good cause, and your ever so generous heart. Your beauty, inside and out, and zest for life inspired me a great deal.
I honour your devotion to the Twins, those you mentored, and the countless lives you touched with kindness.
Nneky Joe of MEMBA 3, Our Yellow Sisi, my seat partner, our friend, our darling IYOM, this is how I choose to remember you – vibrant, wise, beautiful, and full of life.
May your legacy continue to inspire us, and may your memory be a blessing to all who knew you.
Rest in peace, darling Nneka❤️️
