I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I Read Obituary
Rest in the bosom of our LORD and enjoy angelic ministrations, Ma
Mama Rasheed, as we fondly called her. She called me a nightingale. She believed I could use my singing on greater platforms than just the staircase
She was a blessed woman,strong in every sense of the word ,apart from being my step mom she was my literature in English teacher ,a woman who was selfless to her family ,she took care of my dad and everyone who came around,mummy as she was fondly called by all who knew her made me the strong person I am,I remember the times she would send me to ikeja to help her collect stuff or the times I will go to the staff room to stay ,many times when I would go to church and come back and get in trouble with my dad and he won't speak to me for a day or two because he didn't want me in church,she would beg for me,ask me to cook and carry the food to him and I would apologize and we would be at peace again,sallah with mummy meant plenty food especially meat ,mummy meant a lot to plenty people,for me she gave me tough love,I remember all the scoldings,,even if that meant me crying and sulking for the rest of the day ,may her soul rest in peace,I'm sure she is reunited with my dad and her son.it is well

More often than not, saying goodbye is a painful thing. Now, it’s a mixture of pain, and joy
Mama was a woman of greatness. She was an example for her generation and those that followed. As the first female graduate she paved the way for female empowerment and education in our family and all around her
It is a testament to her indomitable spirit that everyone who lived with her pursued higher education. She was a woman beloved by all. Mama was a great wife, mother, teacher, grand mother, friend and believer of Christ
It is painful to say goodbye but also joyful that she lived a life that was one for the books. It is joyful that she left her footprints positively in all who came in contact with her.
Continue to rest in the embrace of Christ till we meet again in Heaven our beloved Mama❤️
“Miss” as we all often referred to her, was a very beautiful woman of substance, very straight, vocal and a heart of love
When I think of her, the first thing that comes to mind is her love, commitment and devotion to her late husband – Ikhaz Yakubu, my dearest brother and father. She stood by her husband through thick and thin until his last breath. Mommy was a very patient wife and mother. To say she would do anything for her family is an understatement. She was a very dedicated mother to so many people, an honest teacher who was very devoted to her role as head master
But of all things, she was passionate about in her life, nothing compared to the love she had for her late beloved husband, Mr. Yakubu as she always called with affection. They both played an enormous role in my life.
Mommy, thank you for the support you gave everyone around you. You will be missed more than any words can express.
Rest in Peace forever with your beloved husband.
Good night
Rosemary Yakubu Mohammed
Mama
You hold a special place in our hearts. You are going to be surely missed. We are all going to miss your smiles and encouraging words.
Things are going to be different without you. For the rest of our lives, we will be thinking about you. We are going to miss you very much. The care and the prayers, the time you shared telling us about your life experiences. However, time came when you had to go, since we all have to answer to a higher power.
We know you have gone to a better place.

Tribute from Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Tampa Florida
With thankful hearts to God, the Pastor, ministers, workers, and members of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Tampa Florida, celebrate the life of our beloved Chief Mrs. Caroline Emosi Yakubu.
Mama Caroline was a faithful and devoted member of our church. She served God with sincerity, remained steadfast in her commitment to His work, and was exemplary in fulfilling her Christian obligations. Even when age and ill health prevented her from attending church services, her love for God and support for His Kingdom never wavered.
The Bible says in Hebrews 6:10 (KJV):
“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.”
We thank God for the godly legacy she leaves behind and take comfort in the hope of the resurrection through our Lord Jesus Christ.
To the Yakubu family, we pray that the Lord will strengthen and comfort you during this time. May He grant you His peace and uphold you with His everlasting arms.
Mama Caroline, your faithful service will always be remembered. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace until the resurrection morning. Amen.
Pastor & Pastor Mrs. Kehinde Olajide
& The entire MFM Tampa Family
Mummy was a lovely mother to everyone, I remember once I was still a kid and I was playing with the light of my new watch at night and everyone wanted me to stop playing around and she basically told everyone to let me be a child and enjoy being a kid. It was lovely times… we love you mama..
