The people who knew and loved Adeola remember her best. These are their words, the memories that keep her spirit at the heart of everything we do.
“You promised me forever, and I never imagined forever would be this short. You carried so much, handled so much, and filled our home with joy and laughter. Until we meet again, I will love and cherish you for the rest of my days.”
“She was more than a friend; she was a mother figure to us here in Canada, filling our lives with warmth, guidance and love. A true pillar of strength and faith, always ready to support, comfort and uplift others.”
“She was more than just my sister, she was my confidante, my protector, my best friend. She loved fiercely, laughed often, and gave selflessly. I know she will always be with me.”
