lawrence agbala - Online Memorial Website

Daddy,

Just yesterday I saw a man that looked like you praying in the chapel while I was there. I remembered immediately that you are no more with us and I prayed for you and for a continued fortitude for us to bear your loss.

Early this morning, Brian sent me a gentle  sms reminder. It read, "This day, 2 years ago, daddy joined d saints of heaven to continue to intercede for us. As we offer prayers for his soul, we rejoice for he lives with Christ".

As I write this, Dad tears are flowing uncontrollably done my eyes. Wish u stayed a little longer to see that we are all doing fine as you intended for us all.

We sure know that you are resting in the bosom of the Almighty God.  I refuse to say adieu to you today for I know that you still  live in us all.

Daddy, continue to rest in the Lord where you have found ABSOLUTE peace and quite.

 

it is six months you are gone now. we miss you dearly. your brothers do not want us to drink water and drop our cups. please from heaven above look and protewct us

Death is a part of life. No one escapes its clutches, And no one can escape the harsh Reality of dealing with the loss of someone dear Upon this day I reminisce With sadness but with gratitude to God The loss of Barrister Lawrence Agbala, My beloved Father-in-Law Upon this day, I declare that he is not dead: He’s resting in the bosom of God He only just gone home ogo, though you have passed on, You are still there in every shadow, and memory You will live forever through the living. I will forever remember you, for taking me as your own son from the very first day I met you.

Daddy, I still remember when you used to feed me as if it were yesterday. you will put me on top of the dinning table  by your right hand and tell me "saa aka gi" and I will open my palm to receive  a little lump of eba that can go down my tiny throat.

Mum still tease me about my feeding bottle that you prepare milk/cerelac in when you call it a day in the chambers.you stopped when the bottle was misplaced(when I was 4).

I remember when you send me on an errand and I'll take time and play around, after a while you'll now call out " Andrew, ife nwa eji aka n'osisi", then I'll come running.

Dad, thanks for all you taught us and I know you are with the lord. 

Daddy, I still cry whenever I remember you. Your last  words still echo in my mind. Dad, I spoke with you on Sunday and that fateful Monday little did I know that it was the last. I still remember what you told me when you called me in the hospital a week before you left. You said, 'Stella, anum ife mee nu ndoo'.

I remember how you used to wake I and Chioma up for early morning Mass, 'Stella!!, Sylvia!! 5 aku go odika unu a mejezi uka'. You did not allow the things of this world bother you and that I will forever remember you for. As children, when we did things that were not right, Dad you used to scold us thus, "Mebie ya na i ma ro ife, nwa ego abughi aku. Amu gi n'abali".

Dad, thanks for having a word with me before going to be with the Lord.

Eternal rest grant him O Lord, let perpetual light shine upon him... May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace ..Amen.

Dad, I still remember your words and actions as if it were yesterday...1st and 2nd November each year, you and mum will send everybody to the church to pray for the saints and souls of the faithful departed respectively. So this is 2nd November 2012, I will go to church and pray for the repose of your soul also.

Adieu Dad.

  Life is but a stage, we are all actors on it. When our scene comes to a close, we bow out to the sound of the applause of the audience that we leave behind.

   The Agbala family, looking back at the crowd that turned up to mourn your father,you can tells that he "IS" a great man. I use "IS " because he lives on through all of you. Be consoled by the fact that he bowed out when the applause was loudest. Take heart and believe that we will all meet again on the resurrection day

 

Daddy May your gentle soul rest in peace...........AMEN

I would like to express my sympathy with this couple over the unfourtunate passing away of daddy. Iam more familiar with emeka, a young man who has carved a niche for himself in the pen profession in his relatively short career through his professional,meticulous and self-effacing style Daddy will be eternally proud of you and stella take heart and God bless you Public Relations Officer, NASENI, ABUJA

Dear Stella,
May God by His Spirit whisper sweet words of condolence to your ears. Remember God allowed it to happen. It wasn't a suprise to Him afterall. Every living soul belongs to Him. He brought daddy, He took him away May His name be praised forever. Henceforth God father of the fatherless will surely keep you in His arms through and through. Be comforted for He said "I will be with you always to the end of the ages".

As you mourn the passing of your father, 

my believe is that he has gone to meet his creator.

I pray that his soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed  will rest in peace.

 

Till we meet to part no more, rest in Peace Daddy Lawrence.
