Tribute to Mama-anyi, Ezinne Asa C. U Chime
Today, we gather with heavy hearts yet grateful spirits to celebrate the life of our dear aunt, fondly known as Asa, one who was more like a mother to us, who departed this world at the remarkable age of 99.
Ezinne-Asa was more than a relative; she was a pillar of strength, wisdom, and love in our family, a mother to our mum as well. Her life was a testimony of resilience, faith, and kindness. She carried herself with grace, and her presence brought warmth to every gathering. Her discipline was beyond comparison.
A Motherly Figure: Though she was our aunty, she nurtured us like a mother, never discriminating between her own offspring and those of her siblings. She offered discipline, counsel, and comfort whenever we needed them. Her words are authoritative yet always delivered with great love and affection.
A Legacy of Love: Her generosity knew no bounds. She gave freely of her time, her wisdom, and her heart, leaving behind lessons that will continue to shape us.
A Life Well Lived: Ninety-nine years is a gift, and she used every moment to build bridges of love, strengthen family ties, and inspire us with her unwavering faith and prayerful life style.
We, the Ogbodo family, are proud to have been blessed by her life. Though we mourn her passing, we rejoice in the beautiful memories she leaves behind. Her laughter, her stories, and her gentle spirit will forever remain etched in our hearts.
Asa, you have run your race with dignity and grace. You have fought the Lord’s good fight, and now you rest in eternal peace. We will continue to honour your legacy by living with the same love and unity you taught us.
Rest well Mama anyi, Nne anyi Asa, Mama Onwudiwe, our dearest aunty. You will forever remain in our hearts.
With love and gratitude,
The Ogbodo Family
