I’ll never forget the first time I met Ayomide and the kindness and love she showed to me as a stranger. She called me her cousin immediately. I remember bouncing on the trampoline in Edgewood and being so happy that I met someone with my last name, I met my family. She doesn’t know that that day she got sent to me as an angel to comfort me. For that I am eternally grateful.It’s not fair that as the world gets crazier the pure souls keep leaving. Her being taken away from us is such a disservice to the heart of humanity. Ayomide I’m happy we crossed paths and I can’t wait to meet you again.

Ayomide, I feel so lucky and blessed to have been a part of your life at some point. I wish we had spoken more, I wish we were consistent but life tends to do that sometimes. Before I met you, I didn’t know enough sickle cell warriors to call friends. You and Judith made me feel safe, like I had my own little community. I remember how devastated we were when she passed (God rest her soul). Thank you for being a source of encouragement, someone I continue to look to even though the years had gone by. I pray for you today and everyday because I know God is with you. Thank you for your impact even in your absence. You will always be remembered in loving memories.

Thank you so much Toke, I’m lost for words but surely she’s in a place way better than this world. Let’s celebrate her for who she was. A nice, pure hearted and loving human. She always had a smile on a face which made everyone around her also happy. I am truly lost of words to be very honest.. I really do not know how to feel about this. But for sure, I know she’s a better place and heaven is rejoicing as they welcome her. She was upset at me for my bad communication and I promise to be a better person. For you because I love you and will always. Rest in peace my love for you can never be forgotten ❤️
