I can only summarise my sister and friend as a virtuous woman whose profile is explicitly spelt out in Proverbs 31:10-31.
The Bible says that her type is rare. Mummy Ego aptly fits into the description of a virtuous woman:
God- fearing, industrious,caring, hospitable, friendly, sociable, responsible, transparent, accountable,dependable, trustworthy , intelligent and considerate to mention but a few. I benefitted from her magnanimity. Her generosity is out of this world. She wouldn't want to see anyone suffering around her. She had a heart of gold.
Her sudden death was a big blow to everyone including her family members. She died virtually in church where she loved fellowshipping with brethren. Yes! She died on her spiritual duty post. God needed her urgently in heaven that day. Who are we to question God? He is wiser than all.
Nwanyi oma, ga ije gi nke oma. The Lord whom you served will grant you a good repose. You were beautiful inside out. I will personally miss your soya milk, zobo drink, mangoes, jokes, smiles and wise counsel.
I can only say good night to you now because we are meeting again on the resurrection morning by God'sgrace. I love you Mum.
Adieu sweetheart. May God comfort your family.
Amaka Onwuzurumba.
