Chioma Chinnaya Ogbonna

Dear Chioma Ogbonna,

I find it difficult to put together any words that would console thy family and loved ones. For words alone cannot heal grief, only those from The Heavenly Father.

Recalling the days at Prarie View to those at the different cultural extravaganzas, bring deeper sorrow to my heart. And as Uchenna became a brethren, so are thou a sister to myself and others.

As we struggle to fathom this calamity, we also pray that the Good Lord will grace you with an unsurpassed welcome through the gates of Heaven. May He see your family through these moments of severe melancholy and despair.

May thy soul rest in the Arms of The Lord God. Amen.

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.” 40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44 The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;

Chioma. How beautiful you are to be gone so soon. I thank God that at we were able to share our lives together before He decided to take you back to His heavenly home...

What I remember the most, like it was yesterday, is your selfless kindness and ambitious spirit. Thank you for all the long car drives to come pick me up when I couldn't help myself, tolerating my sometimes arrogant gestures, your kisses, your friendship... your love.

You will be dearly missed Chioma. Words can not fully express how much you meant to many. May your soul rest in perfect peace and when we meet again, forget flowers...kisses&hugs pretty lady :)

See you later Chioma Ogbonna

Chioma I am not sure I know you but your appearances in the picture gallary shows a vibrant lovely sweet happy girl.

Your are short lived and it will be difficult to accept your exit, for all your family and associates who have been celebrating life with you Chioma. 

Parents cry to let out, because Jesus wept at Lazrus's grave.  But rejoice for such a lovely girl God gave you.  Although she passed on early in the morning, she still made a mark in her life among you and many others.  So celebrate Chioma's life big with Thanks to God who gave her to you.

Chioma's peers and associates, thanks for all that you are doing to support the celebration of that beautiful roses's life, that was Nipped in the Bud too early, but we are all to accept God's final decision.

May the Almighty in His unique way comfort, console, and restore peace and joy to all when you remeber Chioma's life instead of sorrowing Amen!

Adeu Chioma.
