FAREWELL TO EZINNE C. U. CHIME (ASA)
WOMAN OF FAITH, PEACE, ELEGANCE AND BEAUTY.
The news that you have joined the Saints Triumphant does not appear real. I find it difficult to accept you will not be with us while we celebrate your Centenary savouring the moment and blessing us prayerfully while wearing that your ever infectious smile. Ezinne CU, but for the news of your transition, I was beginning to feel you will be with us forever. Notwithstanding, we shall still celebrate your centenary albeit posthumously. However, in all this, I thank God for His mercies and love on you and for giving you 99 long years. Your transition indeed calls for celebration and thanksgiving to God and we shall do just that by His special grace.
Ezinne, you are a woman of faith, peace, elegance and beauty. When your loving husband passed away midway in your marriage journey, the responsibility of providing and running the family fell squarely on you. You took on the challenge and with God on your side discharged it creditably. You did not only raise God fearing children but responsible men and women that held their own in their chosen professions. Your love and care knows no bounds and that was how some of us became your adopted children. You lived a fullfilled life worthy of emulation. In death, you did not dissappoint as you quietly and peacefully joined your ancestors in your sleep.
Your faith in God was bold and resolute. In everything and all challenges, you trust God with faith and belief that is pure and genuine. Your boast is in God and in the fact that nothing is too big for Him. You always encourage us to be of good cheer and at peace with ourselves assuring us that what God cannot do does not exist. Having found that God is your all, I keyed in and you became my intercessor and remained so until you were called on 6th. October, 2025. Ezinne, you were so much more in the lives of so many people within and outside your immediate family, community and State than many will ever know. No wonder God blessed you with long life in excellent health.

I remain eternally grateful for the time and relationship we shared. Thank you very much for standing in the gap of prayers for me and my family. I feel truly blessed to have crossed path with you. You were an incurable optimist in a very humble and Godly manner and your attitude to life remained very simple, easy going and peaceful. I have never met you angry, nor have I seen you raise your voice in anger or frustration. Indeed, you have subtly passed on to us the secret of longevity “Faith in God, love and peace to all men”. You will be greatly missed Ezinne, but we take solace in the rich legacies and beautiful memories you left behind. I salute this quintessential lady and amazing mum. Indeed, heaven rejoices for a saint is called home.
My deepest condolences to your immediate family, Ononeyi Emeka Chime, Chief/Sir Chika Ozo Chime, Mr. Forster Chime and Mrs. Nkiru Nwankwo, your siblings, grandchildren, great grandchildren, in-laws, nephews, nieces, all your adopted children. May the good Lord grant us peace of mind and fortitude to bear your irreparable loss. Sleep on Ezinne C U King and continue to intercede for us all. Adieu our own nonagenerian.

Fare well my Intercessor.
Fare well big Mummy
Fare well CU King, till we meet again in paradise.

Chief Dozie Paul Eneh and Family.
