In his own, Rt. Revd Dr Jacob A. Ajetunmobi, Retired Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ibadan South said: Thanks for informing us about our very dear Mother going home to rest in peace with Christ. We shall miss such a caring Gem. I have known Mama Bola senior since I began to teach in St Margaret Girls School, Oke-Oye Ilesa. Her extra love for Bola junior and Toyin did not let me know she had the boys too. She was more than Mother Hen. May I take this medium to thank all the children for the excellent TLC given to their mum. My residence in Ibadan did not let me know she has clocked 80 years. I was in London during her 70th birthday. She has fought a good fight, she remained in Christ to the very end. We shall meet at the gathering of the saints in heaven. This is my tribute to the new citizen welcomed by the Angels.
