family members to look up to God and not to mourn like those without hope.
On his part, Mr Ifeanyi Jideofor an in-law to the deceased, while sharing his good experiences with her, appreciated God for the kind of life she lived.
Mr Jideofor prayed God to give her children the wisdom to uphold unity, peace and love which according to him were what their late Mother stood for.
The children of the deceased including Dan, Elizabeth and Chudi, noted that though they were mourning her departure as mortals, they have already taken solace in the good life she lived while on Earth.
Late Mrs Esther Chinazo Okeke is survived by nine children, nineteen grand children, brothers and sisters as well as other relatives.
