IN LOVING MEMORY OF UNCLE REMI DANIEL
Precious Eze, Friend
He wasn’t just my friend’s husband. He was family.
Her Priest, her Provider, her Protector, the one who showed up, who made her laugh, who loved her fiercely and well.
I thank God for the memories we all carry.
I watched him be a husband, a partner, and a best friend to Jumsy (as I call my besti.)
Uncle Remi had a rare way of making everyone feel welcome at his table, safe in his home, and loved without question.
I remember feeling so welcomed at his home, when I stayed with his family during one of my hospital fertility visits to Lagos, or could I ever forget how recently, uncle Remi intervened and sorted out a problem in my home that would have turned fatal.
Hmmmmm, God loaned us a good man. A man who loved not only my friend, but all of us, around her.
Today we grieve, but we also thank God for the years, the laughter, and the love he gave.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. And may God comfort my friend, her children and all those he left behind with the same peace that carried him, in Jesus name Amen.
