WE
MISS YOU, MUMMY -By Chike Akunyili & Children Our darling Dora would have
been 60 yesterday (July 14) if she were to be alive But she is no more – felled
37 days ago by the mortal enemy, death, on Saturday, June 7, 2014. Beloved
Dora, You had eagerly looked forward to this day But, alas! you never lived to
see it. We deeply love you, Mummy It was our wish never to let you go But when
death comes, what can we do than to submit to the will of the Almighty?
Beloved
Dora, We very sincerely admire the decent character in you and those dreams of
a golden future for Nigeria For which you were ever ready to sacrifice your
life during your days as NAFDAC DG Without good people in politics, good
leadership will remain elusive Thus your hunger to make Nigeria a great brand
via “Good People, Great Nation”. Your life was an enduring legacy of truth,
courage, integrity, love of your country, pursuit of excellence, love of your
family and friends, and total devotion to God. Your commitment to any
undertaking attained force and vigor that will surely travel through the
centuries.
You never held back whatever you could do for
the common good. Your numerous good deeds, infectious smiles, peaceful but firm
nature, steely personality and motherly love are all unforgettable. No amount
of darkness can overpower the candle you lit and raised high for all to see. In
pain the children and I accept your exit. He who is love hath called thee home
And bade thee thy labour cease. Thou art safe in His eternal love and never
ending peace. Dora, lay down thy head on thy Saviour’s breast (as you usually
did on mine whenever you were extremely tired). Nigerians all eulogise you and
appreciate the numerous trees you planted for future generations to enjoy.
WE LOVE
YOU DEARLY BUT GOD LOVES YOU MORE SLEEP PEACEFULLY IN HIS BOSSOM. PEACE,
PERFECT PEACE, DORA THE AMAZON. From Your darling Husband Chike Akunyili And
