See you later dear friend |
June 9, 2012 |
Kia… I can’t believe I’m writing this. Ever since Sunday everything has been a daze, and as each day passes I miss you more. Although my heart aches, I am left with the wonderful memories we shared.
We’ve been friends since our Grange days - grade 8 to be exact - when me, you and Sayo realized we all lived in Ikoyi, and the rest is history. The countless of sleepovers we had, the countless of parties we went for… You became a staple in my house. Whenever they heard your name everyone would be like, “Oh Lord, what are they about to get up to now?” lol. We later formed “A-Squad” – our UBER cool group that consisted of you, Sayo, Vanessa and I… Only God knows how we came up with that name.
After Grange, although we all went our separate ways we still remained good friends. Every holiday we’ll try to meet up and do something together and you were the ringleader of that effort; you were all about Grange reunions. You had a way of bringing people together because you were still in touch with almost everyone. That was what was so remarkable about you; you were so caring, so genuine, so kind… You had a heart like no other and you filled so many hearts with joy over the years. For that you will always be remembered.
I pray that the Lord be with your family during this difficult time. May He give them strength and may they find solace in the fact that you are well as you sleep gently in His arms.
I miss you dearly, and it’s hard to believe you’re gone… But this is not a goodbye, just a see you later. Until we meet again, Rest in Peace Kunbi.
Love you,
Lu xoxo

Can't believe it..... |

I didnt know Kunbi very well. In fact i think its safe to say she might not even have remembered me. I was always fascinated by Ugonna and Kunbi the couple because they seemed so in love, and I always wondered how they were making a long distance relationship last. Kunbi seemed to be on the right path; a good college degree, a Master's degree under her belt, and then her on-going NYSC program. From what I heard too from TJ and Ugonna, she was a christian and was trying her best to remain that way....all the the young age of 22. I was truly in awe. Kunbi seemed to have accomplished more than i had in such a short time. I had the privilege of meeting her once in Lagos, I was out with she and Ugonna. She was so pretty and petite. I was always telling korede, my good friend, how pretty Kunbi was. I cant beleive she's gone, and in such a horrible manner.
To the Adebiyi's, I will continue to pray for strength for you to overcome this dark period of your lives. Nothing can be said to give full comfort, but I have prayed that God will replace what you've lost with double the joy of having kunbi in your lives, and that the Amighty God give you strength to move on from this. We dont know why things happen, but please take heart in knowing she is definitely in heaven. If nothing else, ,please believe that. I will continue to pray for you and will continue to put up Kunbi's pictures on my blackberry messenger to let her memory live on for as long as possible. I want people to know something about her because after we die, what's left but people's memories and ideas of us?
I will keep praying and fasting for you. God will give you strength and courage to bear this loss.
Keep praying Adebiyi's, and remain strong. This too shall pass, and you will meet Kunbi again someday.
We miss you Kunbi. Please watch over all of us.

Wow Kunbi..what can I say? Fist of all I thank God for your life. You were such a beautiful young lady. People definately had to have an opinion when they met you and there was just something about you that was different...I remember the day I gave my testimony at Church about my degree and I was not sure whether I had even made sense because I had felt nervous but you came to me with tears in yours letting me know how much it had really blessed you and I was so touched and my opinion of you changed a lot...I remember our trip to Alton tours and you refused to get on the rides..lol and I remember thinking aaw and you seemed so nice, gentle and soft, yet you still posessed that inner strength, confidence and determination... I remember a year later you were in the same situation I was with my results and asked me for my help and advice and we exchanged a couple of emails and some of your comments made me laugh..and then almost this time last year, you wanted my help on some of the course-works I had done but for some reason, I never got round to replying you :( One thing I know is that you had a heart for God. It was obvious and your cry for a deeper relationship with God could also be heard. I am realising each day people don't come into my life by chance and If I could turn back time, perhaps... It is well.
P.S I came across an article you wrote on facebook about your thoughts...'Do you believe in life after death or are you afraid to talk about death'...
I believe in life after death Kunbi and I know it is only your mortal body that is no more. I am comforted by the fact that you have joined so great a cloud of witnesses cheering us on, as we run our race. We that are in the Lord shall all meet to be forever with the Lord.
1Co 15:52-54 KJV 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Th 4:16-17 KJV 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Bisola Lboro as you had me saved in your email address ;)
God bless you sweetie..

I had only two encounters with you. First, when i had to take your dental radiographs for my boss (your dentist) and then at your second appointment. I remember thinking to myself "Gosh she's looks so young and pretty!". I remember laughing very hard when you said (with a straight face) "you people had better put me to sleep and do all the fillings at once o cos I'm scared". You were so pleasant! Sleep well pretty one, away from all the cares of this wicked world. I pray that God grants your family and friends the fortitude to bear the great loss!
I dont know you well but I went to loughborough with you. The very first time I set my eyes on you was at the bus stop. I think you were seeing off your boyfriend. For some reasons I couldnt take my eyes off your smile. It was so charming.. May God comfort all your loved ones....Adieu

Kunbi,
I am speechless as to the right words to say but, I can only pray that your family finds the strength to bear this great loss. Sometimes I ask myself why bad things happen to good people but, who am I to question God. Kunbi you were a good person who was loved and cherished by many. You will indeed be missed. Sleep well till we meet again my dear friend. ADIEU.

So many times i have started writing this tribute and so many times words have failed me...how do i write a befitting tribute? The words fail me Kunbi. All i can say is THANK YOU...thank you for letting me mother you all those times in loughborough, thank you for being so lovable, for always checking on me, thank you for all those memories. Thank you for impacting my life in such a positive way...no matter how long i sit and type i wouldn't possibly be able to thank you enough for everything...
i knew you from grange but to be honest it wasn't until you came to loughborough our bond grew strong...you were so petite i just had to mommy you! The times Jason and yourself would come over to mine and i'd cook for you, we would gist about the most random things, remember that silly laugh? ka ka kaka...or your most prolific words !cash is tight! !it's not that type of thing! i cherish those moments. its funny i remember at your birthday party i spoke about how you had grown and matured into this amazing role model, how you inspired me to be a better person...how even though i was meant to be ur 'mommy' u now 'mommied' me...how people could laugh but you'd be the first female president...truth is you were a leader in every way...the last time we saw...i remember coming to visit u in loughborough and we'd be at ugonna's slaving away...cooking indomie :p and cleaning (fine ugonna u did most of the cooking but we can dream)...remember u and ugonna fought and crench and i were trying to advice you? and we all came up with this song 'kunbi o, ugonna o...whatever happened to the love?!!' those were fun times. Remember we would wake up and pray...you made me buy that Life Application Study Bible said it was the best bible because it had such amazing footnotes i just had to buy it...I came over to loughborough again this time with Jinmi and we created such beautiful memories...me, you, Tutu, Ugonna...Remember you went through such pains to get 25 gifts for Ugo's birthday remember you said you'd do the same for me? Remember Jinmi dancing to Who run the world and you doing some mj dance breakdancing and all? i watch that video everyday...Remember when i came to nigeria and came to your house? you said i had to taste this sharwarma from dolphin estate...it turned out it wasn't that nice...Remember us sitting and having this discussion about the pain and suffering in NIgeria, how we wanted to make our mark? We both wanted to do something charitable and we came up with LBDC...remember all our arguments over who would be president, who would do the work, what we would even focus on...we'll do this together i know you'll help finish what we started...
Kunbi I'm so grateful for your life...you touched so many people, you were so loving and best of all you loved your GOD... that's why i'm at peace...just that knowledge that you knew Him and you served Him with all your heart makes it bearable...I thank GOD for the privilege to have known you...for a wondrous life spent, a beautiful woman, loving daughter, caring friend...thank GOD because you knew HIM and at the end of the day when its all said and done thats ALL that really matters.
Your memory will always live on...I love you so much Kunbi Irene Adebiyi

My dear Kunbistickunbi………………….. So short journey but highly memorable and inspiring!
I can’t still believe that, death has snatched away my loving, caring, resourceful , respectful , cultured, humble and ever dynamic young lady……Adekunbi a.k.a (Special Budget Babe-SBB)
Whenever I look at your desk ….I miss that ENCOURAGING and ANGELIC voice…ehmm
Rest on in the bosom of the Almighty God, join the cherub angel and sing hosanna praise to the Lord..
I miss you, but your memory is a daily dose for me and it will last forever.................................
My husband says a lot about you. You are such a loving damsel...I can never forget that day, 14 February, when you delivered my val gift to my office on my husband's behalf. Just when I thought we will know each other better, the cold hands of death snatched you away. Rest on in God's bossom till we meet again at His feet.

Dear Kunbi,
I do not know you personally, but I am deeply saddened that you are no longer with us.
I will continue to pray that God comforts your family& friends and gives them the strength to bear such a great loss.
It is so sad that someone who was so kind and full of life is gone so soon. I cannot even imagine what they are going through.
From what I have read, you were such a beautiful person- inside and out, and touched so many people, including a number of my friends.
You are an inspiration to me to live a better life and to be a blessing to others because what truly matters is to live a good life, no matter how long.
Although your life was sadly shortened by this tragedy, you lived a good one and I know that you are with the Lord now.
Rest in perfect peace. xxx
.... till we meet again...
adieu kunbi

I still cant get over chatting with you friday before you left for Abuja. We were meant to see that day and I told you not to worry leaving the airport for mine..... I'l always remember all our talks about God, career, marriage and life in general. I truly would miss you. Words fail me in explaining how much you meant to me and all your other friends. I pray that you find rest where you are and May God continue to give those you've left behind the strength to carry on. You were more than a blessing Kunbi. RIP Kia Anderson..xxx

Never knew you, never met you, had about you through a friend. he posted a couple of your pics on BBM experessing his grief. i was forced to ask who you are? i was indeed short of words when told you were in the ill-fated plane, i couldnt say word. I am not very emotional but couldnt hold back my tears going through this site. From what i could see, u were indeed a very wonderful person. We love you, but God loves you more. My condolences to your family.
REST IN PEACE.
