I knew Amoge as a very kind and generous woman; always looking out for others in need especially friends and relatives in Nigeria. Amoge gave me a large sum of money to give her sister in Nigeria with an instruction of how to make sure a lot of her friends and relatives got a share of it. What's amazing was her special instruction to not bring that money back, "Please make sure you find my sister and don't bring this envelope back," said Amoge. What a cheerful giver she was and you should've been there to see that same wonderful smile she was known for while giving me the envelope. Anyone who is reading this, please carry on that same spirit of generousity that our beloved Amoge lived for by reaching out to others no matter how small; God always loves a cheerful giver. I will always miss her.

Bro Worthy, stay strong with the children and be rest assured that your wife and the mother of your children is in a better place. To us, it was a loss, but to God, it was a home-coming. May her soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of the Lord, Rest in Peace……Amen

Thanks for sharing this well documented tribute of a sister gone too soon. Though, I was not in attendance, but Chido through your words and visuals of the weekend, you captured the spirit, the sorrow, the pain and most of all, the collective outpour of emotions and love of the mourners for this daughter of Zion.

May the Precious Blood of The Lamb, grant her access to the throne of mercy. May her soul rest in peace and through faith I know that our

Great Comforter will take care of her beloved family, Amen.

Warm Regards,

Loretta Akosa-Mbadugha, Ph.D.

Amoge is my sister Mmachi Oyudo's good friend. My best memory of Amoge was when my sister Mmachi took me with her to Amoge's house in Enugu. Amoge was such a lovely and nice girl.The last time I saw her was in Nsukka when she was with Ayodele and we chatted for a while. I will call my sister and let her know of this sad incident. Ngozi, Ayodele and Nkechi, I pray the Good Lord will comfort all of you the husband and kids aswell.

"I get scared whenever I hear, or read about somebody's death. Remembering that the scripture said Death is like a thief that comes to you when you least expect it, scares me the more. But death they say is a debt we mortals owe, and so I join hands we others to wish Amoge a safe journey back to great beyond."

I met Amoge in the early 1970's when she was a student of the Queens Rosary Secondary School, Nsukka, and I was an undergraduate at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She was a good friend of my cousin and her classmate, Ms. Mmachi Oyudo, and they frequented my room, 131 Akpabio Hall. I met her again at the NNPC Head Office in Ikoyi, Lagos, where she was doing her NYSC program in the 1980's.

A family friend telephoned us last weekend and informed my wife about Amoge's death in the US. My wife and Amoge grew up together at NEPA Quarters in Enugu when both their fathers worked with the electricity company. It is indeed pathetic. May her soul rest in perfect peace. May the Good Lord console her husband and children, siblings, and the entire family.

Mr. Nwangwu, keep up the good work and God bless.
