Oh Lord may  our sweet and gentle daughter’s soul continue to rest peacefully in your bosom Amen.

Hello my name is Karen and I met Ijeoma at a concert at Conorstone church and we became friends.  She was new to San Antonio so I welcomed the opportunity to go out with her for dinner or movies or to explore San Antonio. I was so saddened when I heard she was sick and had moved back to Florida. I'm so so so sorry to hear that she passed on, but I know she is with God in Heaven. I would like to let the family know that Ijeoma was a great person and although we only knew each other for a short time she will truly be missed.  I will miss you Ijeoma,  until we meet again,  Karen 

My dear friend and brother Emenike,  it was a devastating news to receive of the early departure of your dear daughter.  Though time has separated us over time, I want to assure you and your family that I greatly cherish our childhood friendship.  I want to encourage you not to look at the early recall of Ijeoma as being cheated. Please see the good memories of Ijeoma as a blessing and her exemplary life as a measure for greatness.  Ijeoma was called home early because God never wanted her polluted.  Christ lived for a short time but his impact persists forever and so look deeply and you will be proud of the enduring legacy your daughter has left for posterity.  May God grant her eternal rest and strengthen you and all those that mourn with you.

Sincerely,

Edmund 

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"
Ijo... missing you... 
OK?!?!?! (African accent)
I remembered your face for the first time I met you in FCCJ, you were so shock that I was from Kenya. I didn't know how our friendship go forever.
Yet, it did.... 
You were totally wonderful person with kindest heart, brilliant and caring person.
 


I was proud to witnessed her American citizenship in 2019. I had to wake up very early in the morning because I needed to get ready as she was picking me up. We had to be there at 7:00 am to as process took very long. The ceremony started at 8:00 am. Her family was there as well. We were all proud that she officially became an American citizen.  

The picture 📷😍♥ of her American citizenship 🇺🇸. 

I met Ijeoma through the American Physiological Society where I work in the Communications department. Ijeoma was sweet, witty and always so willing to lend her talents to the physiology community. She was a wonderful writer who penned a number of posts for our science communications blog (you can read her lovely posts here: https://ispyphysiology.com/?s=ijeoma). 

To her family, friends and colleagues, I am so sorry for your loss and I'm keeping you in prayer. 

I only met  Ijeoma once in person, however we worked alot together via email and other work functions. She was a very nice, friendly and a Go getter. She was very passionate about her work. God has received a great angel. My condolences to the family.  She will truly be missed.  

To Ijeoma's family, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Ijeoma at the annual meeting of the American Physiological Society.  She was so engaging, committed and an excellent leader.  She had a smile that could light up the world.

Please accept my sincere sympathies.  May God keep her in the palm of His hands.

My prayers peace and comfort  are with you.  I am so sorry for your loss.

My heart is really heavy since I heard this news today.  Ijeoma onye Ije.  You are missed by many and the fact that your gone too soon hurts so much but only God knows why.  
Ijeoma was an inspiration and joy to be around  with. De da as she would call her father allowed me to see the deep connection they had and I even wanted that for myself.
 Mr. Obi and family please accept my deepest condolence.

Ijeoma, you were such a joy to know and will be greatly missed. I cherish fondly our times together and volunteer activities with the nigerian young adults association. Praying God  comforts all your family and friends. Your blessed memory will live on in the countless  lives you impacted for good .

Heaven has gained an angel, thank you for the time you shared with us here on earth, you were a force to reckoned with it, good night my friend  till we meet to part no more.RIP

Dear Ijeoma, 
I greatly miss our hallway conversations at ISR! You  were always so calm, kind, and fun to talk to.  I am blessed to get to know you, but sad that we didn't get to spend more time together and have our movie nights that we planned for. 
I will remember you as the best example of resilience and grace! 

The Obi family, 
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family!  The only comfort to all of us is that she is now in a better place and in peace!

Respectfully, 
Arezoo Mohammadipoor

As a staff member at the American Physiological Society (APS), I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Obi in several capacities.  I got to know Ijeoma when she was a graduate student and APS Porter Fellow. I  also worked with her when she was a member of the Society's Trainee Advisory Committee. I am very sorry to hear of Ijeoma's passing; she will be greatly missed.  My sincerest condolences to Dr. Obi's family, friends and colleagues. 

This is more than words can express.  Sad sad news to hear.  Vibrant young like she was! I am really shocked about her passing. May her soul rest in peace and strength and comfort for the entire family.  Will don't know why things like this happened but God knows best. Please know that we are all in this together as Nigeria community. So sorry for your loss and God strength is your IJN.  Be encouraged!!!

To Mrs and Mr OBI, 
I wanted to present my sincerest condolences to you, your family, loved ones and friends for the very sad loss of Dr Ijeoma. 
I have known Ijeoma since 2003 in college and I had the honor to be friend with her. She was nice, kind, generous,  dedicated, a hard worker, focused, lighthearted, a godly woman and an amazing friend and I will truly miss her. Troughout  the years, we shared some great times that I will always cherish.
Rest In Peace Dear Ijeoma. Rest assured you will always be in my prayers and thoughts. Love Always 


Ijeoma, why? You left too soon. Your assignments on earth is left with huge vacuum that no one can fulfill but you. About 17 or 18 years ago or there about from FSCJ to UNF we were together, good friend and study partner and ultimately we were like like brother and sister from another mother. The wisdom in you words, the humidity in your character and the knowledge of your deep thoughts is all I have left. I remember how passionately you talk about your siblings, each one of them and that you cannot wait for them to join you in the US. Your mother was the center of your heart. You just cannot wait to see her and hug her. Those words are real and words are powerful. We sought after knowledge to be a physician but I know whatever else or path you choose, you will be outstanding and you are outstanding. How can I forget the movie night at Tinseltown with friends. You were one funny character with huge sense of humor. Ijeoma, I am blessed to know you as a friend. When it was time for me to tie the knot, your words of encouragement was real. Even though you could not go with me to Africa when I got married, you eventually became a good friend to my wife, Nike. Oh! How life move too fast. 
IJeoma, daddy’s girl. I remember you will tell us during study time with other friends, “I have to go cook for my dad.” Moving to Texas, was hard enough away from your dad but leaving this earth was not in the plan. He worked too hard to pay your school fees starting of as international student. We prayed for your papers, so you can be start paying instate tuition,  yet your dad never stop. What a good friend you were. Your achievements is not match with none. Your tenacity for success is evident in your achievements. I will miss you Ijeoma. Ask God to keep His angels watch over your loved ones. Till we meet to part no more in glory. Sleep well IJ. 

Pastor Debo 

Ijeoma  was a joy to work with here in Texas, and I miss her very much. I am sorry for your loss. John Kragh

Ijeoma was and always will be a dear friend to me. I've known her since college. She was smart, caring, passionate about her studies, friends and families, her views in life and social views (whether they're events or crisis), and her career. She made me see things in a biblical way. I'm very proud of the woman she became. I miss her very much, as she is my loss too! I'll never forget about how a great friend to was to me. She will always be in my memories. 

I'm very sorry for your loss. And I'm extending my condolences 🙏.  Let me know if you all need anything. 

Ijeoma was a lovely person and we will miss her in the physiology community. My heartfelt condolences to Ijeoma's family. Rest in peace, Ijeoma. 

To the family and friends of Ijeoma,
I had the privilege and honor to get to know Ijeoma during a small-group workshop in San Diego in April of 2017. Her scientific drive and sweet smile and spirit were contagious. She will be greatly missed. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends.
Volker


Ijeoma,
"Jee ije gi nke oma".  Jesus loves you so much but we miss you so dearly. 
Our hope is in the Lord and we know where you are now. In a special place prepared for those who received HIM, where there is no pain, no distress of any kind, just singing "Alleluia" all day long.  

Looking forward to the time we will meet to part no more.

Dr. Ijeoma Obi was a dear friend and a Light of Joy. She was always smiling and I loved just being in her presence and the deep, hearty sound of her voice. Her enthusiasm and love for science and God made us instant friends. She will surely be missed. I pray that the Peace of God would cover her loved ones and that Holy Spirit would comfort you during this time of grief. Know that Ijeoma exemplified the true Love of God in her life and that her legacy is great in the Kingdom of God.

Obi Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. I pray that God gives you comfort during this time. I will pray for your family.
Love,
Jennifer Johnson

Mr. & Mrs. Sampson Obi, 
Please accept our condolences. We pray God to guide and protect your at this difficult moment. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Emma O. Okafor & Family

To the family of Ijeoma,
I am so sorry for your lost. Ijeoma had such a sweet spirit. Her smile will be greatly missed. I can only wonder what contributions she would have made if she had been able to continue her career in science. 
Barbara T Alexander

I am so very sorry to hear of Ijeoma's passing. I knew her through our mutual network of researchers and have served on professional committees with her in the past. Ijeoma was a lovely woman and accomplished scientist and I wish you all the comfort possible during this time. 
 

Beautiful inside and out, Ijeoma's smile always drew people in. I will miss her, and I suspect that the world will miss what she might have brought forward as a scientist. I remember her at her graduation; that will be the memory I keep of her. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends. May the days, weeks and months to come bring you peace and solace.

My memories of Ijeoma will always bring me joy. She had a unique ability to make you feel like you were old friends from your first interaction. She brightened my day on many occasions at work with her humor and willingness to listen. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Obi for sharing your brilliant daughter with the world. Ijeoma will be terribly missed but the impact she made will not be forgotten. 

I knew Ijeoma from serving with her on the American Physiological Soceity trainee advisory committee. I remember Ijeoma for her creativity, dedication, and kindness. Although I did not know her well I will miss her ideas and growing together in the field of physiology. I'm so sorry for your loss.

To the family and friends of Dr. Obi. She was involved in making many happy memories, both professionally and in personal friendships. We will always remember her smile. Take care, Frankie Spradley 

Emenike and family please accept my sympathy for this painful exit of Ijeoma.  She had vision, wisdom and ingenuity that were really  exceptional.
We wail and cry here for her exit but an uproar of Praise herald in heaven on her arrival at the bossom of our Lord.  Peace Perfect Peace she has now. 

Dear sister Blessing, please accept my condolences at the sad news of your niece’s death 
May God give you and your entire family the grace to bear this irreparable loss and may her soul rest in peace in Jesus name Amen 

Obi I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God give you and your family peace and understanding during these difficult times. 

Remembering Ijeoma with that smile just like in the picture. I admire her fight and my most sincere condolences to her family.

To the Obi family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Ijeoma was such an intelligent and God-fearing young lady. May God comfort and strengthen you during this difficult period. 

Dr. Christian Oraedu 

Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. Obi, my deepest condolences to you and your entire family for your loss. May the lord comfort you and give you strength through this difficult time. 

My beloved Pastor Obi and the family, I want to condole with you on the occasion of the demise of our beloved sister your daughter, the news came to me with a real shock but I have to quickly submit to the will of God as the bible says in Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. I want to plead with the entire family to please take heart and remember what the bible says in: 1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. I pray that God of heaven that we serve will comfort you, your wife and other siblings of hers in Jesus name. please accept my condolences and sympathy. My prayers are with the family. God will put an end to everything of such in Jesus name. God bless you and the family in Jesus name. Love from Brother Ajayi Abiodun.

From the moment I met Ijeoma I knew my life had been blessed. Her beautiful smile and warm heart were a gift I will cherish. My heart aches for your loss. May God’s grace comfort you as he accepts her into his loving arms. I will miss her as my co-worker but even more as my friend.
Gary Muniz

My deepest and most sincere condolences to the Obi's family . May God comfort and grant you the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. 
Rest in perfect peace Ijeoma. 

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Obi, 
My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. May God give you comfort and fortitude to bear the loss of your precious child. 

Rest assured you were an inspiration to Ijeoma. I wish I could be there to give you all a warm and tight hug as a mother, as a friend of your daughter, and as an admirer of your devotion and strength. 


Dear Ijeoma,
It is hard to admit you are not here with us, but comforts me to think you have arrived safely in Heaven and are in peace forever. I am holding tight on our great memories together at ISR or anywhere else. I can still hear your hearty laugh at the silly stories of my daughter’s goat! We shared life stories: from Brazil and Nigeria to US, and the merits of being immigrants, women, and scientists! Until we meet again, I will miss you dearly. 

Sister Ozioma, we are so sorry for the loss of your sister. 
We pray the Almighty God comfort you all.


It's well my darling sister, I know you are resting at the right hand of God. On the resurrection morning we shall all meet to part no more.
My sincere condolences. 

Obi,I am so sorry to hear about this loss. Sending love and prayers of peace to you and your family at this time.

I will forever cherish the fun memories at UAB and outside of work.   I was SOOO proud of all your accomplishments. I will miss our conversation/text throughout the year.  However, I will FOREVER carry you in my heart my sweet friend! 😘 Until we meet again...

I LOVE YOU Dr. IJEOMA OBI!😘🕊

Terry 

This is very disheartening and definitely painful. I pray God gives the entire Obi Family and the Deeper Life Bible Church Florida family to bear this irreparable loss! We take consolation knowing fully well she died in the Lord. For the scripture says... Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. 

In the sweet bye and bye... we shall meet on the beautiful shore!

For Deeper Life Bible Church, Orlando FL.
‭‭

Gone too soon! At this sorrowful time, I extend my heartfelt condolences to Obi’s family.  May our Lord comfort you and your loved ones.
May Ijeoma’s soul Rip  Amen  🙏🏾


Ozioma and the entire family,

I really pray that God will comfort you at a time like this. I did not get to meet Dr. Ijeoma but Ozioma painted the picture of a beautiful, lovely and compassionate soul the day she told me about her sister. I pray that God will console you all. Amen.

Ada, your passing left everyone in fear; confusion overwhelmed us as mortals. Our warehouse of memories filled with fond and painful remembrance, and we held tightly to the treasured memories of Ada, our lovely daughter with a heart of gold.
To Ada's parents; remember when our hearts feel torn between fear and trust, the scripture provides us with a model of honestly approaching God in prayers. When unthinkable like this happen, we call on the Almighty God. 
May her soul rest in perfect peace! Amen.

Dear Obi Family,
Thank you for sharing Ijeoma with us.  She had a special goodness in her that brought out the goodness in everyone around her.  She spent only a short time in San Antonio, but she made a long-lasting impact on our team.  She brightened our days with her beautiful smile and her loving personality.  What a wonderful world this would be if there were more people like Ijeoma.  May she rest in peace, and may she live in our hearts. 


My hearty condolences to the Obi's family for the death of this young  daughter. May the Lord Himself console you all.

Ijeoma may you rest in perfect peace in the Bossom of the Lord. I pray that God will give your parents and siblings the strength and fortitude to bear your irreparable loss.  Amen.
Ike

May God grant the entire Obi family the strength and fortitude to bear this untimely loss. Amen. 

I have worked with Sampson Obi for many, many years. He is one of the nicest, most kind, patient, gentleman I’ve ever met. I am so so sorry to hear of his daughter’s passing.  Obi, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God’s peace be with you in the days ahead.

May the soul of late Dr. Ijeoma Obi rest in perfect peace  🙏 , and may the Almighty God grant the family the fortitude to bear her irreparable loss in Jesus name. 

Dr. Obi - you are remembered. An excellent scientist and a superior person, our world would have benefitted from more time with you. The cheerful calm you brought to work each day will be missed; it stands as a credit to your family and your faith, and we know you stand in the joy of the Master. Thank you for the season you spent with us.

Ijeoma, I am still in shock! I can't believe that you're gone! I wish you told me so that I could be there for you at the end. We had long discussions, but you never said that you were sick. I will surely miss you my friend, but I am comforted knowing that you are not in pain anymore and that you knew God! May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace and may God bless & comfort your family and friends at this time! Je nkeoma! You fought bravely, now you can rest! Lots of love & hugs, Dr. Ngozi Okwura, PharmD.  

Mr. Obi and family may you all take solace in God at this difficult time.  May God grant your family the fortitude to bear this great loss. May Ij soul rest in the bossom of her creator.

Our hearts go out to the family at this time. We pray for strength for you all through the coming days. May the Almighty God wrap His arms around you all, give you comfort and peace as only He can. 
May Ijeoma’s beautiful soul rest in the Lord! Amen

Oga Obi and family, words can not explain the level of sadness that comes with the death of Dr, IJ.  I could recall when you brought this young naive girl to this country. I watched and saw her soar above expectations to transform into an adorable, intelligent and God fearing woman. In as much as her death is a huge loss to all of us, let's not forget that the heaven's gained an angel. I know she was in a country that medical expertise would have done the miracle, but God gave us rather this option and we can't ask why? Let the living be consoled and may her gentle soul rest in peace, amen🙏 Peace and Love from my family, home and abroad, until we meet to part no more.  Amaka Okoro- Egemonu


Dear Mr and Mrs Obi,
 I want to express my deepest sympathy to you for the loss of your daughter Ijeomi. I was  a colleague of hers at the ISR in San Antonio, TX.  I did not know her for very long, but she greatly impressed me as a scientist, and as a wonderful person.  We will greatly miss her.

Harold Klemcke

I worked with your dad, and he was so proud of you, he always talked about you and how you were just the perfect daughter every parent would want in a child, You are gone but never forgotten in our hearts , sleep well in the bosom of the good Lord. 🙏

Dr Obi that’s how I’ve been calling her way before she got her PHD. I was very saddened to hear the news, we spent long hours talking Ijeoma was a very kind, friendly and focus humain being. 
To the family I pray to God to give you patience to accept the will of God. And pray that she will rest in perfect peace. 
You will be missed my dear friend. 
Salifou

Dr. Ijeoma Obi was a dynamic and dependable daughter of our Igbo and Nigerian community. She was a person who made a difference in any environment she entered. Dr. Ijeoma delivered Key Note speech during our Nigerian Independence few years ago. Her transaction into glory is shocking but we glorify God who loaned Ijeoma to us!!!

Ijeoma dear,
                           There are just no words...no words. May your beautiful beautiful soul rest in peace and may God comfort your mom, dad, siblings and all you left behind. I will miss you forever...yes, forever.
  

BETTER.  There are some people who just make things better.  Dr. Ijeoma Obi was one such person.  She made our team at ISR better with her positivity, her ready smile and laugh, her keen intellect and her friendship.   Although her time in San Antonio was far too short, she was already working through her church to make our community better.  She accomplished so very much in such little time.  And now, she is better.....fully healed and fully at peace with our Lord.  And maybe heaven is just a little bit....better.   Kathy Ryan and her ISR teammates.

Eternal rest grant her O' Lord. May Ije's soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

May your young and gentle soul rest with the lord.  

This is a very sad news. She was an inspiration to us all. I knew her from  afar, and was truly inspired by her achievements and amiable person. Truly , you are in a better place. May your wonderful Soul rest in Peace.

Ije, 
Hmm such hard news to stomach.... Although Short, you lived with purpose, you accomplished so much so quickly, you made everyone proud and you left but with an indelible footprint in the sands of time. Heaven has gained an angel and your beautiful memories would live on. Pls permit me to keep inspiring my household by sharing your achievements like I have always done. Adieu beautiful cousin, Adieu Dr Ijeoma send our love to grandpa, grandma Okafor, and Chi. 


Together we had shared so many blessed moments that we will never forget. 

Sent with love and remembrance, and my most heartfelt sympathy.

This picture was taken with dear Dr. Ijeoma in FL 2019 after she became a beloved member in our TCCC team. 

The picture was taken with dear Dr. Ijeoma in CA. 2017, when she was a student. 

Dr Ijeoma,
I can still remember the times we had good conversations about God, school, life etc. You had great aspirations and achievements. I remember your journey... Your beautiful face , smile and resounding voice will always be remembered . Most of all you knew the Lord.  Rest in his bosom and continue to be a light and example to others that anything is achievable in accordance to God’s will. 😁👍

Ijeoma was a kind and loving soul. She was always eager to help someone. She will truly be missed. 

Oh.. so sad and heart breaking news. Ijeoma had such a beautiful soul. She will be missed and will be always remembered.  



My friend Sampson, you and your family will continue in my prayers. Prayers for comfort and peace during this time. 

We are all deeply saddened by the tragic news of Ijeoma's passing.  She will be remembered by everyone in our Division of Nephrology at UAB.  Our heartfelt condolences to her family.  May her soul rest in peace!

My deepest condolences to Ijeoma's family. Ijeoma was a great friend and I will never forget her warmth and the big smile that she brought to the long hours in the lab. She will be on my heart forever and she will be terribly missed.

I want to give my heartfelt condolences to Dr. Ijeoma Obi's family.  Ijeoma was a great scientist and amazing person--loved by all!
In sorrow, Jennifer Pollock and all Ijeoma's colleagues at UAB.
