Funke Akindele Pens Heartfelt Letter to Late Mother

By far one of the worst things that can happen to anybody in this world is the loss of a loved one. It is one thing everybody prays against and that one cannot even wish upon an enemy. Death is so painful, and for the people left behind to grieve, it is an inexplicable pain that is very hard to wrap one's head around.

This week, Funke Akindele lost her mother Dr. RB Adebanjo-Akindele. Dr Adebanjo-Akindele died on Tuesday, the 7th of February. Her death was made known to the public by her daughter, Olubunmi Akindele who is Funke's elder sister. Since the announcement of her mother's passing, Funke Akindele had been understandably silent on the matter, most probably grieving and mourning privately with family and loved ones. But now, she's ready to send her mother off in the public eye, and to do this, Funke wrote a very beautiful letter in dedication to her mother. Here's what the actress and politician said about her mother's passing.

Taking to social media, Funke Akindele wrote about her mother's passing:

That’s my mum!

My sweet mum!

Ever lively!

Ever jovial!

Life of the party!

Mum, you raised me to be very hardworking, dedicated and selfless. You were a blessing to not just your children but everyone around you. You always had a positive impact in the lives of anyone that came across you.

You taught us the way of the Lord; how to pray, how to serve God and how to commit all things to him. We have the fear of God in our hearts because of how you nurtured us to be compassionate in everything we do. You didn’t stop at teaching us alone, you further extended this same legacy to your grandchildren by teaching them how to pray too at a very young age.

Mum, you were very selfless and did everything humanely possible to give us the best life. I want to thank you mum, for raising us well despite the ups and downs. Yes it hurts, but I’m happy that your legacy lives on with us your children and grandchildren as well and you’re in a better place.

I’m definitely going to miss you mummy❤️❤️❤️. And I promise I’d never give up just like you always advised. I’ll make sure I give my best to anything I do and victory will be my portion in Jesus name.

I shall make you proud mum.

I’m glad you didn’t weep over your children.

I’m glad you saw your grandchildren.

I’m glad you lived a fulfilled life.

Mum we’re not mourning rather we’re celebrating a life well lived.

May your soul rest in perfect peace🕊🕊

I love you mummy ❤️❤️❤️.

Wow, that was very emotional, even just to read. May the soul of Dr. RB Adebanjo-Akindele rest in perfect peace and may her family and loved ones find strength and comfort through this very tough time. It is well.

That's All.
