\u201c\u2026Her Prayers, Values and Love Still Guide Us\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
Today marks six months since the passing of my beloved mother, Mama Deaconess Felicia Omisanjo<\/p>\n
In a personal statement on Thursday Gbenga Soloki, Executive Director, Centre Against Injustice and Domestic Violence said,<\/p>\n
\u201cMama, six months without you, but your voice is still in my head every day. You taught us to stand for truth, to defend the weak, and to serve with compassion. Those are the same values that drive the work we do at the Centre Against Injustice and Domestic Violence.<\/p>\n
You were our first counselor. You settled quarrels, you prayed for the broken, and you opened your home to anyone in need. As a Deaconess, you lived your faith and you lived justice before I ever knew the word.<\/p>\n
Our family has lost a matriarch, and I have lost my greatest supporter. But your legacy lives on \u2014 in our children, in our community, and in every life we touch through service.<\/p>\n
We miss you. We honor you. And we will keep your name alive through good works.”<\/p>\n
The Gbenga Soloki Family will mark the day with prayers and outreach to widows and vulnerable families in her memory \u2014 causes that were dear to Mama\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n
Mama Deaconess Felicia Omisanjo was widely known for her faith, generosity, and commitment to peace in homes and in the community<\/p>\n
The family appreciates all who have stood with us in prayers and support over the past six months.<\/p>\n
\u201cTill we meet again in glory. Rest in perfect peace, Mama.”<\/p>\n
