My heart breaks for you and yours dear Ese. Your beautiful children, your lovely home. It is well with you dearest. Jesus knows. He knows,he sees your grieving heart. Your pain,your anguish,who can share? You will cry but the Holy spirit will comfort you,you will heal and become strong again. The sun will shine again. This is life. But God will uphold you. You will begin to see His awesomeness. His miracles upon you and your children will know no bounds. Everyday you will awake to see the hand of Jehova over your life.
Ese, it is well dearest one, know this, every moment,everyday,know that Deji watches over you and your beautiful children,he is always close by,only thing is that you do not see him.
The pain will cease one day. It is well...it is well. The sun will set but will rise again. You will smile again,with beautiful memories to cherish..... It is not the end dearest one......Jesus is King and will uphold you. I weep with you......it is well.

You see the amount of sorrow that people endure when you have an incompetent president that hires an incompetent aviation minister. That bastard call oduah needs to be fired. No remorse what so ever for her lack of oversight. May something worse befall her family. May she not enjoy all these money she is stealing, may her fore grand children and future generation endure pain and suffering may this curse be never lifted on her and her future kin. Amen.

I am in tears. This is a family that is grieving. Dear Lord, please provide for Deji's wife and kids. May they never know lack. Be a husband to her and a father to these lovely children. Finally, may Deji's soul rest in perfect peace.

Anyone who has not lost a person dear to them,wont know exactly what this woman is feeling.The pain cuts really deep into the heart and soul.I lost my best friend in a plane crash and my life has never been the same since then........Sorry dear mother i know how you feel.

May they find the fortitude to soldier on well as their dear departed would have wished.

However, all this calling on God. Is it not the same God, according to your beliefs, that took away the deceased? The absurdity of religion.

#feeling so sad#a painful exit,her tears & the look in their children faces,brings tears to one's eyes.
I pray God consoles them and give them strength to move on in life....May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace & in the Lord's bossom.
