Ms. Florence,
 Rest in heaven. I will miss you dearly. 

My dear sister,  you came, ran your race and did your part very well. 

May the Lord console all those you left behind.

The ESOC&S Church World Wide especially the US South and North Provinces will surely miss you for your love, dedication to the church.

Rest in Peace!
From the OTUBU Family

We pray that the good Lord will grant you all the graces that you need during this period. Similarly, we pray for the consolation of your family as you prepare to lay your loving mother, sister, and auntie to rest. 

Eternal rest grant her O Lord, and let your perpetual light shine unto her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

Aunty Kachi as fondly called, lived a life of service to God and to man. 
She ran the race well. Accomplished her earthly mission. Now back to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 
Though she departed as a Mother-in-Israel, our beloved Sister served conscientiously in almost every sphere of  the Eternal Sacred Order of the Cherubim and Seraphim  Church - ESOCS, US South Province. 
Without any equivocation, the history of the US South Province will be invalid if chronicled without a conspicuous mention of the great works of this great daughter of the Holy Order, Mother-in-Israel Florence Mercy Kachisicho Anyafulu. Her commitment was transnational. She was also deeply committed to the Church and families back in  Nigeria. 
With gladness, she welcomed all brethren to Houston. She was always at the Airport to meet and chauffeur visitors. A kind and gracious Sister to all persons who came her way. Aunty Kachi was never tired of cooking and serving “Nwannem have you eaten, are you okay, what would you like for lunch and dinner?” She  always would ask the brethren.
Her charitable disposition was phenomenal as her siblings and family will sadly miss her loving company.
Folks, we shall all transit some day from this world. Our Sister’s belief and faith in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Saviour assures us that she will hereafter, be raised to a joyful and everlasting life. Hear the Apostle John whom Christ loved so well:
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” Revelations 14:13.
Our beloved sister’s good works will surely follow her. The reward of her love to God and man awaits her.
May the Good Lord bless and protect the family that she has left behind. Succour all who mourn. 
Aunty Kachi, may your soul rest in perfect peace and may your memory be a blessing!
Joe MORDI & Family 


Chai, weeks later, I'm still speechless & unable to lift a finger. What a deadly blow! She arrived this planet earth with a mission, blasted thru like a meteor, & like the speed of light, passed unto eternal bliss. We wonder & continue to ask this ageless question: "Why is it that good people never last?". We take solace in the truth that we can all testify that she was an outstanding Soldier of Christ that performed exploits in the Lord's vineyard. 'And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, & their works do follow them'. (Rev. 14:13). May our Savior & Lord Jesus Christ receive her soul in eternal repose in His glorious kingdom, sustain & comfort her children, loved ones, U.S. South Prov. etc. My family & the entire members of ESOCS Mt. of Grace - Dallas stand in solidarity with the Prov. & her family to mourn her transition, & celebrate her exploits. Adieu daughter of Jesus Christ. Today. You've joined the Saints above where truth & true love reign supreme. We believe, we'll meet one glorious morning at the feet of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen!     Elder J.C. Mbata (Mt. of Grace - Dallas)

I got to know mother Kachi for a short period of time. A woman, full of life and passionate about everything God. I remember every time I spoke to her while she was sick, she was always in good spirits, singing and praising God. Her perseverance has  thought me a lot. I have no doubt that mother Kachi is in a better place, resting with the lord. Rest in perfect peace Mother ❤️. 

Mother Kachi, with other Mothers & Sisters,  during the 2019 Esocs Women Anniversary. 

Hmmm.....where do I start? Is it from the love you showed me, my children, my parents, or the church of God? Fast forward to 2005, I was new to the country, I had just given birth to my 2nd child the previous night. I was still in bed that morning, sleeping. All of a sudden, I heard a voice, singing Cherubim song. I thought I was in a dream, but the voice kept getting louder & closer, I opened my eyes. Who is singing our song in this large hospital, I asked myself. Then she came into my room. It was Sister Kachi, my very first visitor! She carried the baby, started dancing & singing more songs, not minding that there were other patients in the hospital. I bursted out laughing.😀 She did not stop there, she visited us at home to make sure baby & mom were adjusting well. She won my heart.❤️
When Covid Started 2020, she called me and said, “Rachel, pls o, do not accept any patient that would endanger your life o. Remember, you have children waiting at home for you.” I said, okay ma.🙏 When my son was graduating, she wanted so badly to be there, but I told her cause of the Covid restrictions, she should not worry. When it comes to the work of God, Sister Kachi is the best. As a child born in ESOCS, I knew the importance of working in the vineyard, but Sis Kachi took it to another level. Over the yrs, she would call me, “Rachel, come lets go to church. We have so so and so activity coming up, lets go get the church ready & prepare refreshments for the members.” No one ever leaves a church function without some goodies prepared by Sister Kachi. If you want to annoy her, try stopping her from doing the work of God. She will still go there whether you like it or not! It’s her money, her time, her energy, & her joy to be of service to God. According to the book of Rev: 20; 12-15, Sister Kachi, your name has been written in the 2nd book, the book of life, according to your works. I will greatly miss you.😢 I love you, but God loves you best. Continue to rest in His bosom, Amen.🙏

How can there be pain where there is so much love? We grieve as a family today because we miss our dear sister, Mother Kachi. And we take solace in the Lord that she retire from the labor and her good works do follow her. Our son fondly calls her "Mother Kachi." He vividly recollects her visit during his Nazareth service in Mt. of Grace Dallas. The army of salvation suit he wears to church today constantly reminds him of her unique gift during the last visit of the Baba Aladura.
Moreover, we can't forget her memorable visit with senior Mother Amadi at the hospital a day after our son's birth with exquisite gifts for the newborn.  A few weeks later, she also offers to stay and care for our infant for a week that gives the family a short break, notably for the mother. A great sacrifice, very rare in our society today. On one occasion, she arrives at Greyhound bus station at about 3 am to ensure participation in the gospel activities in Dallas. And this drives down the point that she represents the epitome of love and eagerness to serve God and humanity. We love you and miss you.
May it please God Almighty to grant you eternal rest and console the family.
Sydney and Chinenye Acho

Her passing came as a big shock to all of us. We the Olunkwa family pray that God comforts and abide with you, and give you the grace to overcome this difficult time.

I remember a very intelligent , young lady who was a Go getter. She was always smiling no matter what. The children I extend my love and regards.I  Give my sympathy to the families, Love ones and friends. From Prophetic Martha Massaquoi.  of Boston MA May the Lord be with you in Jesus name Amen.

My elder sister, my second mother, a worthy friend and someone whose voice soothes the confused and broken hearted, a peacemaker/achiever, a role model worthy of emulation, someone that I have known for almost 5 decades. From daycare/creche classes to my college years/ my being married and father to children. Who will I call 📞 late-night and she will gladly pick up to discuss fruitful family matters no matter the reason. I'm only taking solace with the full knowledge/ awareness that you have gone to be with the angels above until the resurrection morning that we shall all meet in glory !! Ada Nnam, it is well with your prayerful soul - sobbing 😭 it's just a way of inviting you to my dreams like you did few days ago !! We will really miss your generosity/soft spoken words of wisdom/love but I promise that you shall remain in our hearts !!! Regards to our parents,grandparents, late brother and sisters and that if there is ever anything like next world - we shall all be together again !!! Sleep on big sister!!

Beloved mother, ever kind and gracious. May your beautiful gentle soul rest in peace with the Lord through Christ in Jesus name. Amen. 

During the high surge of Covid-19 in 2020, I was diagnosed with Covid-19 and pneumonia, as a result of that my care team had to decided on C-section to save me and the baby. After the surgery no one to take care of me, people were scared of contacting covid, no single family member around to care for me due to national covid travel banned. Third day after I came back from the hospital, I was groaning in pain with my new born, I heard a knock on my door, it was Mother Kachi , I was so shocked at same time glad that someone could visit me in this situation, as cautious as I was , I quickly told her my  health status, she looked at me, smile ,and said " I know", she took my newborn to her house and cared for her like her grandchild  until she had no strength anymore. Your death took away my breath, I  couldn't not fight back my tears because you are irreplaceable, no one can fit into the space you occupied in my life, You took care of me like your daughter, and my Baby like your grandchild, all your  kindness will not end with you, I  pray God give me the strength to pay it forward. 
I love you and I will foreverly miss you.


Kachi, Ogom! It is very difficult to talk about this beautiful lady in the past tense! Kachi and I first met at Uche’s parents home. We became fast friends.  We cooked side-by-side in the kitchen laughing at poking fun at each other like we’d known each other for life.  Kachi never met a stranger. Our friendship blossomed and we affectionately called each other “Ogom.” 
We exchanged self-deprecating house-jokes and laughed at each other whenever we talked or exchanged text messages. Kachi exchanged cooking tips with me. We talked fashion. We talked about whose hometown was better than the other’s. All in jest! 
Kachi loved Love and Grace. She was was very proud of them.  She loved Uche like her own as well! 
When the twins arrived, Kachi was in her elements! You could see the twinkle in her eyes! I wish she lived long enough to see them grow up as the strong men they will be!
Adieu, Ogom! God will comfort your children and indeed your extended family and friends. You will be missed. We love you, Kachi!!
Dr. P.  Oranika & Family
