Tribute to an ardent LIB reader who passed away recently at age 25

Just heard about the death of an ardent LIB reader, 25 year old Claire-belle Udodirim Edozie who passed away on May 17th after a boat mishap.

Her friends say she was really into LIB, used to drop comments and introduced some of them to this blog. So sad she passed away at such an early age. And she was the only daughter of her mum.

Another LIB reader pays a tribute to late Claire-belle. See below...
Its been the longest three weeks of all our lives as the shock of your death still surprises us all. You inspired me to be better, to live a decent life and to always wait on the best. You were there through all the fights & laughs I shared with your brother. (my boyfriend)
I feel like I just owe it to you to let the world know you were a winner when on earth. Each day I want to talk about you to someone just so they can be inspired by the 25years you lived on earth making such a huge difference in the life of your family and everyone you met. If anyone is out there who has lost a daughter or sister at such a prime age should please write one or two comforting words so I can pass it along to her family. I know its God they need most now, but your comforting words matter too. ..


She was buried on May 29th. Rest in peace Claire-belle Udodirim Edozie...

  12. 25! That's awful!! Taken at the prime of her life. Words can't heal wounds but they ease them, may her family find solace in that fact. That though their only daughter might be gone, she touched lives, evident in this story. May she rest in peace.

  69. Guys, if you cannot swim, do not go into or near a swimming pool. If you cannot swim, do not go for a boat cruise without a life jacket and even if you must go with a life jacket, make sure you know what to do in the event that you get into the water. A word is enough for the wise.

    I am an okay swimmer and I have received numerous sea survival training too. Two years ago while on a canoe cruise, we had an accident and the canoe upturned into the river. It was not expected at all. I remember hitting the cold, dark murky waters and feeling disoriented, I heard someone shouting that the water is shallow and it was then that I gathered myself and put my feet to the bottom of the river.
    My people, that day, I am sure my life flashed before my eyes. I walked away with a dislocated shoulder which still gives me numb fingers till today. I am glad I still have my life. All this happened to me even though I can swim fairly and have been trained on how to escape underwater.
    If no be for God and the prayers wey my people dey don ontop my head on a daily basis... only God knows how this story would have turned out.

    You all be safe and always remember that committing yourself to enter a boat or enter water without knowing how to handle yourself is a dangerous affair.

    RIP dear girl. I pray God grants your family the fortitude to bear this loss.

  119. If we can turn back the hands of time,I will love to rewind that day she died and make her busy for that accident to pass,if wishes are like commodity that one can buy,I will spend what I have and trade more for her to be here.
    what a sad world,what a bitter exit,i'm short of words,i'm blank right now for the right words for her family and friends.
    To her family: I know words and wishes can't bring her back,I can feel your pain and sorrows,i can feel your pain,I feel your WHY and PAIN.I'm very sorry for your lost and pain.i'm sorry.may her soul rest in peace .Amen.
