chores – meetings, prayers among others, before she breathed her last by 3:05pm

in the company of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

went in to pray for them as they met to plan her centenary birthday.
She died a couple of hours later as she had always
wished, surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great grand children.” Oyediran
