It is with gratitude to God for a life well spent that we celebrate the life of mummysco.
My heart is broken…..My heart is pained…..My heart is sad….
No one can fill this void… Mummysco…… The matriarch of the Ibuzo family……
Mummysco is in heaven, to be with her beloved Lord; where she will be praying, praising, and singing in and with the heavenly choir.
Although my heart is broken, and I cry tears of pain, in between my tears of pain, I also cry tears of joy for my mummysco. Mummysco ……. Nnemo….. (my mother). Nnemoma (my beloved mother). Nnemmaramma.. (my beautiful mother).
Mummysco, you were the best mother I could ever ask for. I am so thankful that God knew you were the right and the perfect mother for my siblings and I, so He gave you to us.
Mummysco, you were so full of love, and encouragement; though a disciplinarian, and an educator; you were a woman of faith, a praying woman. Mummysco you were a mother to everyone around you.
Mummysco you loved your life, you lived your life, and you always kept your faith.
20 years ago, Mummysco had trauma to her eye, which left her legally blind in one eye.. that did not stop Mummysco from loving her life, living her life and always keeping the faith.
My beloved Mummysco.. you were so full of love; you gave love to all around you.
Over 10 years ago, Mummysco had a stroke that caused her to fall. She was hospitalized for a few months. When she was asked “what happened, we heard we heard you fell down”? Mummysco’s in her typical fashion of seeing a Blessing in every situation said “I did not fall down O! I just went down gently to prostrate before my God”.
Mummysco.. Nneoma (beloved mother), Nneokwukwe (mother of faith) Odoziaku (wealth manager).
Having gone through life’s challenges; and through the trials and tribulations together that life brings, dad said to mum after over 50 years of their marriage relationship, “you are no longer my better half, you are now my best half. Odoziaku.
For Mummysco, no Blessing was too small, no problem was too big. She never saw the glass half empty, to Mummysco the glass was always full and pouring over. Every day was a day of Blessing and thanksgiving.
That was my Mummysco. She loved her life, she lived her life, and she always kept the faith.
Nothing shook Mummysco’s faith. No matter how bad or how sad a situation was; she knew God was always in control. In difficult and painful times; Mummysco always ended with “rapu”“rapuluchukwu”and “no shaking”.
Mummysco was a relationship builder. Her words “nwane di namba” (your family are the people in your neighbourhood). Not only did she preach love to all, she also showed love to everyone around her. Mummysco believed that family become friends and friends become family. She loved her “family of friends”.
When dad went to be with the Lord, and the pain was unbearable, Mummysco consoled us saying “rapuluchukwu” leave it to God. God’s will - will always be done
I miss you so much my mummysco.. , I miss you hailing me “Adymo” (my Edith), I miss you calling me “Nnochie”. I miss hailing you “my Mummysco” I miss your love, I miss your words of wisdom, I miss your words of encouragement, and most of all, I miss the joy that you bring and give to everyone that comes your way.
Mummysco you taught us the values of life, you taught us to love our lives, and to live our lives, and to always keep our faith. You taught us that life is not meant to be perfect, but life should be lived and be enjoyed, regardless of the situation, or the condition.
Mummysco you taught us to embrace life, because life comes with the good, the bad, and the ugly.That whatever we go through in life, life teaches us a lesson, and gives us a blessing; for that reason, God should, and will always be praised. Mummysco’s word of wisdom was “what you call a problem, becomes a problem for you”.
You have passed the baton to us to carry on, and we sure learnt from the best, because you taught us well.
Mummysco, you had the power of words, you always had words of wisdom. You knew the right words to use for every occasion. Words to encourage, words to uplift, words to heal; words to sooth.
Mummysco, “rapuluchukwu”, we have left this painful time to God, because we know that you fought for the life you lived, and the life you loved, and you always kept your faith.
Mummysco, did not give in or give up when you had a stroke over 10 years ago;you only succumbed to the will of God. Mummysco; you are now “forever and gently prostrating before your God”. For this we thank God that His will has been done in your life.
We surrender you to our Lord and our maker, because we know that our Lord that gave you to us on earth has called you to be in His Glory; to join in the Heavenly choir.
This is my Mummysco. This is our Mummysco. “Nnemo, Nneomamo, Nnemmaramma. Rapu. Rapuluchukwu. Anyi a rapu golu Chukwu (we have left you to God)”
My Mummysco; as you are now finally and forever prostrating before your Lord. Journey on my Mummysco, because you have left us with good memories that “no shaking” nothing can wipe away this great imprint, these great memories that you left behind.
Adymo, Nnochie, Edith
Daughter
