She was more than a wife – she was my sister, my friend, my partner, and much more! “Precious, our love for each other is indescribable. For a little short of 21 years, we shared our lives together – in pains and pleasures, in struggles and successes, in labor and love, and above it all, in the joy of the LORD our redeemer. You left me in the world too soon than we planned, but I yield to the will of our Savior who called you home to begin your eternal rest earlier than we expected. You are in better hands and better place. My Dear, you are a winner – you lived for God in the world and left the world of vanities to be with God in His glory. I will forever miss you until I see you again at the feet of the LORD. You kept the faith to the end, and by the grace of God, I promise I will keep the faith to the end, so I can enter the eternal rest you are now enjoying. I love you, and I know you loved me and our LORD until your last breath. Rest in perfect peace, and I will see you in glory when my race here is done according to the perfect plan and purpose of the LORD.” - Michael O. Bayere (Husband) My sister, my friend, our lives have been brought together for a reason and for that I am grateful. My dearest gift from God was when He made you, my sister. I love and I am always amazed by your infectious and gentle smiles. We have loved and cried and found a bond that is everlasting. Thank you for being a role model. I am grateful for your wisdom, friendship, strength, and hope you shared with me. Continue to rest at the feet of your Creator and Savior. - Dare Omonijo (Brother, London) Beloved daughter and sister in Christ - Elizabeth, it aches my heart to truly know that you are no more with us here on this side of eternity. You were brave, hardworking, and God-loving. You were a keen lover of Deeper Life Bible Church. Only heaven will understand why you had to leave us so suddenly. We surely will miss your smile, ingenuity, and devotion. Good night. - Pastor Michael A. Dada (Regions Overseer, DLBC)
