CONDOLENCE MESSAGE
My dear brother, I received news of the peaceful transition on to eternal glory of your beloved mother, Chief (Mrs.) Alice Titi Ihonvbere, which occurred on December 5, 2021 at her home in Ukhuse-Osi, Luleha, in Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State.
It is always a painful experience facing the reality of death involving a close relative. It is even more so when it is a mother that departs and leave behind a void that no one else can ever fill.
However, I counsel that you take consolation in the memorable moments you shared together while mama was alive and have faith as a Christian, that one day you will meet her again to part no more.
Mama has played her role as a mortal so well, touched the lives of so many people through her dedication to caring for the less privileged in our society. Her good deeds obviously resonated in the sight of God who blessed her with the rare privilege of living to the ripe old age of 104 years, in a country where the current life expectancy for women is 63 years.
Beyond the pains of losing mama, we are celebrating her life for being around long enough to mentor several generations of Ihonvberes to adulthood before she was called triumphantly into eternal glory.
I join your family and the good people of Owan land to mourn the loss of an exceptional matriarch while praying that the Lord grant her eternal rest.
Also, I pray that God send down His consoling grace upon you and all the other family members she left behind.
My dear brother, please accept my deepest condolences.
Yours Sincerely
Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole mni, CON
Abuja, December 6, 2021.
