  A Loving Tribute to My Beloved Mother, Lady Monica Egowure Enyidiya Onyegbado

  Today, I honor the life of a woman whose love shaped mine in ways words can never fully capture. She was a woman of God, an educator, and a philanthropist—but to me, she was so much more. She was my first home, my constant guide, and the quiet strength behind so much of who I am.

  Her love was steady and generous, given without condition or hesitation. She had a way of making even the hardest days feel lighter simply by being there. Through her gentle words, her prayers, her high expectations, and the countless sacrifices she made without ever seeking recognition, she showed me what true love looks like.

  Mama’s faith was the foundation upon which our lives were built. She lived it daily—through establishing Block Rosary centers, supporting the formation of priests, and hosting her annual charity parties for children. She woke up in prayer and went to sleep in prayer, running her Christian race with unwavering devotion and a deep reverence for God.

  She taught me kindness—not just in what we say, but in how we live. She showed me resilience, facing life’s challenges with grace and courage. And she reminded me, in ways both big and small, that family is a bond that neither time nor distance can break.

  She prayed my twins into existence, reassuring me again and again that her God would come through—and He did. I only wish she had stayed longer to watch them grow. They ask about you every day, and I find comfort in believing that you are watching over us always.

  Though she is no longer here in the way I wish she could be, her presence lives on in everything she gave me. I hear her in my thoughts, feel her in my strength, and carry her in my heart every single day.

  Grief may mark her absence, but love defines her legacy—and that love will never fade.

  Rest peacefully, Mama. You are deeply missed, forever cherished, and endlessly loved.

  Adieu, Mama. I know you are watching over us from Heaven.

  With all my love,
  Mrs.Gloria Onyegbado-Elueze
