My Memory Of Aunty Dele Somefun.

Fatima Hamman Jul 18, 2008

Aunty DELE.

Her life and poetry had many things to teach us. However, in either setting, one thing is clear is that , Aunty Dele has a firm sense of who she is, what she is doing. how many of us can say that about our selves . All aunties are very special and she is no exception. The Good memories of you will never fade away.

Rest easily Aunty Dele as you do deserve it. xx

Beauty, brains and grace

Dele, there was just something special about you... You had a gift for people. And everything you touched seemed to turn to gold - and I don't mean just material things. Rest in peace. Femi and Ronke Macaulay

A Rare Gem

Christiana Osinulu Jun 25, 2008

Dele, I have not seen you since we left Anglican all those years ago. I was so looking forward to seeing you when you visited Houston. I wished I could have seen you again, Your pretty face, your beautiful smile. One thing I do know is that we shall meet again on that glorious day. Rest In Peace Dele till we meet again.

From one Dele to Another

Teena Bamwo Jun 25, 2008

Dele, even though I did not know you that well, your departure from this world has taught me to live each day like it is my last and not waste time pondering over things I cannot control. Whenever I now find myself hesitating over a decision I need to make or the next step I need to take, I immediately think of you and how your time on this earth was cut short . It was quite obvious each time we met, that you were living life to the full and I am sure it is something that all those who knew you, will now do. You may have left earlier than many would have wanted you to but you definitely made a lasting impression on all. It will be hard to forget you.

May your Soul rest in perfect peace.

Beautiful soul at peace with God

Sheila Black Jun 09, 2008

Every blade in the field —
every leaf in the forest —
lays down its life in its season
as beautifully as it was taken up.
—Henry David Thoreau

Dele may your beautiful soul rest in perfect peace and God continue to be with your family here on earth.

Marriage made us sisters

Wole and Lola Somefun Jun 05, 2008

Dele, marriage made us sisters,
Our children made us family,
Life made us friends.



How many years we wasted unnecessarily, then again, at the right time,
with reason and in the right season, we made up and ‘grew’ our true,
solid and open friendship.


“If tolling bell I ask the cause.
'A soul has gone to God,'
I'm answered in a lonesome tone;
Is heaven then so sad?” not so I believe.

You will never realise what you have until the moment comes to say good bye. In that instant everything you took for granted will be revealed.
There is one thing in life that is impossible to forget. And that is a lost friend.
No friend would have us lament their passing, but would prefer us to celebrate the fullness of their friendship.
Experience tells us that we may lose people along the way, but we will never lose the mark they made upon our lives.
You can always recognize a friend: they’ll be the one that walks towards you when all the others walk away.
Friendship is eternal; it has no birth or death.
Don’t wait until your friend is leaving to discover just how special they are to you.

In my heart forever - Lola

Wole and Lola Somefun Jun 05, 2008

Dele, you more than made up in a short while what would take others an eternity.
You were a natural jovial and humorous person.
Even thinking back, you still bring a smile to many faces.

Is it appropriate one might ask, but then again we ask, what is appropriate?
You have left an indelible mark in the lives of those who were sincere
enough to recognise the gem you were, what you were lives on, thank God for the
special children you have been blessed with, the children embody
the beauty you so wonderfully and elegantly shared.

Not so many can boast of having left a mark in the world, it’s not often by
choice but by circumstance.

For a sister, we today vow to keep your love alive in your children.
As you wished, planned and prayed, together as a family we will do our very best
To guide them to attain the success you so prayed on their lives daily.

As a mother you worked valiantly to build a strong foundation for your family,
you did not live a wasted life but a full life maybe not in years, but in achievement.

As human beings even if the Lord had given you a 100 years, we still would
have wanted more. Good people they say die young. Physically you have taken
your leave, in spirit, you live on in our lives. We can’t forget you and we will continue to
keep you alive in our lives by continuing to share all the things that made you
special and a woman of great personality.

Rest in peace Dele, you deserve it, you came to do a job, it is done in this world
but as a mother, it can’t ever be done can it? If it be true what our mothers say,
then you do continue to guard your children in a place so far off yet so close.

Dele we truly miss you, but you will remain in our hearts till we see again, to God be the glory!

Wole and Lola Somefun

indeed a Virtuous Woman

Baby and Ronke Odusanya May 31, 2008

Friend girl...... I am blessded to have known you. You enriched my life in ways that I will never forget. You were a joy to be around and a fountain of knowledge. It is still a shock to us but God loves you more.
You carried out your Godly, motherly, wifely and Church duties with so much ease indeed a woman of substance. My darling I know without a shadow of doubt that you have made heaven...... heaven rejoices as you join the saints,
this in itself gives me peace. Til we meet again my darling Oludele, oreke lewa, eleyinju ege. Sun re o
