This memorable website was created in memory of our loved one, Mama Helen Modupe Oshodi.
We will remember her Forever.
Tribute
It's so heartbreaking to be saddled with this task of writing a tribute in your memory as this was the last thing on my mind when the new year 2023 started. I had imagined that we still have many more years to spend together but I can't question God and I have to accept the fact that He alone loves you much more than anyone else and I have no choice than to bow to His will to call you home at this present point in time . To decipher and explain how much you meant in my life is extremely difficult.
Where do I| start from? From my childhood or my youths or my adulthood? You were exceptionally clean and immaculate and this reflected on myself and my sister during our primary school years at the government primary school Owo where the school uniform was white. You will ensure that our white school uniforms were immaculately clean and we wore different clean clothes every single day of the week and you never failed in your motherly duty to ensure that we were neat and descent. Almost on daily basis, you washed our clothes and school uniforms and ironed them and ensured that we never went hungry no matter how financially difficult you found yourself . You were strong, brave, bold and exceptionally kind and I give thanks to God that through you and your special genes that ceaselessly pour the milk of human kindness onto everyone that crossed your path.
I consider myself and my siblings special that we were birthed into this world through you and may the good Lord give us the grace and power to continue to invest human kindness into the world and give us enabling resources to continue from where you stopped. Thank you mum for your sacrifice, selflessness, dedication and for who you were.
Good night Ma!
By Dr Abiola Olumide Oshodi,
Mummy, waking up to the news of your death was a hard blow. We spoke a week before and you said you were getting better. "lyawo mi" as you fondly called me and thereafter you always corrected yourself with the next statement "omo mi" And we will both laugh over it. To me, you were really a mother everyone will hope for. It's painful to come to terms that you are no more and I will forever cherish all the fond memories we shared together. Our phone calls and many gists can never be easily forgotten. The Owo language you tried to teach me and your grandchildren and how I wish we had paid more attention. Still can't thank you enough for telling us more about Owo and her history. Thank you for the childhood stories you shared with us which always ended in prayers I'm grateful to God and thankful to you for the relationship we shared. You will be greatly missed! Forever in my heart. Keep resting in peace, good mother.

To our beloved sister, even though your death came to us as a big shock but who are we to question God, for God giveth and taketh. Truly, we are going to miss your generosity and care. Please continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord. Yeye Omo, Rest on.

Oshuporu k,
My lovely mother, My first love, your loss is a great one. I wish you were still here to continue your good works but I take solace in the fact that you are now at the bosom of your Lord and saviour resting well. The Bible says the memory of the righteous is blessed. My first love, this is very true of you. I remembered when you always sold your clothes just for us to eat and look good among others .We shared very pleasant memories of you because you truly lived a good life. I believe you didn't die but slept in the Lord and at the resurrection morning, we shall meet again. Thank you for living a good life. You will forever live in my heart. Good Night Mummy

Hmmm! My Mum, an epitome of beauty, hoping you are now able to find eternal rest. Having lost your own mother at a tender age of six years and sojourn this earth without the most precious person any child will wish for - a Mother. Mummy lost her mother when she was barely six years old and her father when pregnant with me, so I did not get to know any of her parents. Double whammy at a tender age, most times if not all the time, my mother was misrepresented, misheard misunderstood but greatly and affectionately understood by me. I hear things but will always cross check with my mother to a better perspective/proper picture of things. She was the most generous human being I know, very feisty but will spoil anyone lucky enough to be close to her. We could not celebrate her enough as she confidently told me "how lucky to witness graduations of her children, their marriages" - always full of gratitude. Adieu my mother (iye abukonkon). There are hundreds of stars in the sky, hundreds of shells on the sea shore, hundreds of birds in the sky, hundreds of butterflies drifting by daily, millions of women on earth but you were one in a million. Sunre o!

Tribute to a Departed Soul.
A painful exit of a rare gem will continue to leave holes in one's
heart. Notwithstanding, you have tried your best and have succeeded in most of your desires. And since there is time for everything, you needed to go and meet your Maker having acted your script very nicely on earth. You will forever be remembered. And may your soul rest in perfect
peace. lye Biola, Good night.
Taiye Adebola Saliu,
I can't believe you're gone too soon, how time flies, word's cannot describe the pain I feel right now but you are in a better place, away from all the pain of this cruel world.
Your death leaves my heart aching that no one can heal, you are a very good sister to me, and you played the role of a mother too, a nice woman and generous woman, Mama was very good to me and my children. After God she was my helper. I see her as a channel of God, helping me with my need always without ceasing or resisting. I dont know how to bear this lose, cause as we are bound to see each other again in our resting place. I miss you my beloved sister. May your soul rest in perfect peace, and may God Almighty protect the children she left behind and his mercy shall be upon them all. Amen.
From Mrs Morenike Iwasepeletu... (Keke),
Tribute To My Wonderful Sister-In-Law (Madam Modupe Helen Oshodi).
One thing for sure is that we are going to miss her greatly. As the immediate senior sister to my late wife, Olayinka Aina Owoputi, she has always been playing the role of a mother to my wife and the children and even to me. In the early years of our marriage through when we started having children, she was always there for us to bath and take care of the babies and their mother and make sure that everything was in place like a loving good mother to the children. Each time we visited home for vacation or for the burials of the aged ones in the family, she was always there to support, advise and take good care of us and make us feel at home. And back to Lagos, our base, she was always calling us regularly to ask about our welfare. My sister-in-law was a kind, generous and loving woman who was ready to go out of her way to make sure that everything was okay. She was the type of in-law that I can never forget and I am going to miss her. I thank God for her life and I pray that may her soul rest in peace.
From Joseph Olu Owoputi,
Aunty Dupe, as we fondly called her was a very amiable and likeable person as we recollect growing up in the very early 70s in Lagos. She would always spend a few days with us where we used to live then at Oduduwa street, off Palm Avenue, Olorunsogo whenever she visited Lagos She was so close to us and very fond of our late father being her big cousin whom she usually looked up to as a father figure. She would help us with our homework and assignments and we dared not play around without doing our assignments. She was tough and didn't take nonsense from anyone as she would put you in your place. Underneath that tough stance was a very caring heart that was ready to stand by you when necessary. We remembered the sisterly and motherly roles she played during our father's burial in 1992. She really towered above her peers in many ways. May her soul find the perfect rest in the bosom of the Lord, Amen.
