The enormity of this loss is something I fear I may never fully grasp.

Pastor Ronke,

You encompassed every role imaginable to me – mentor, pastor, counselor, confidante, sister, mother, and friend.

Your wisdom, your foresight, your comforting embrace, your gentle guidance, your infectious excitement, your selfless sacrifices, and your radiant smile – all these and more qualities defined you.

The pain runs deep knowing that your place can never be filled, that you are truly irreplaceable.

Yet, amidst the pain, there is solace in the indelible mark you’ve left behind, a legacy of unparalleled quality that will endure for generations to come. 

Already, I feel the void of your absence, and I know I will continue to do so until the day we are reunited, never to part again.

My prayers extend to all those closest to you, especially your family members, that they may find solace and strength in this difficult time.

Farewell, my dearest of dears.

With love and reverence,
