Sincere sympathy. A wonderful volunteer with a brilliant smile. Our Coordinator of Volunteers described Funmi as someone who lit up the room when she entered. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. This was so incredibly quick. If we can be of any support, please let us know.

Funmi was such a wonderful person in every aspect. She jumped at the chance to assist the Bereavement Ministry with our Memorial Mass annually. She played a key part of the organization for all our grieving parishioners.
I will miss her deeply.
She was also a volunteer with me at Heart House Hospice caring for palliative clients.
God Bless her soul and I pray for her family.
