Henrietta I. Max-Onakpoya

Simple in heart, truthful, honest, meek, calm, harmless, peaceful, pure, serene; the most beautiful woman inside and out. Henrietta, my wife, the woman with the genuine and original smile; my calm in the eye of the storm. Henrietta, I would do anything to have you here with me.

I did all I could and tried my best to stop the enemy from taking you away. I still don’t understand why GOD allowed it.

You were selfless; your heart was made of love; no wonder you loved easily. You loved GODwith a passion, you loved me your husband,with total devotion, and you loved your childrenwith love that knows no bounds.You loved your family and friends andeveryonethat comes your way. You are indeedirreplaceable.

Although I do not understand why you had to go through that much stress and pain before journeying back home to the throne of the Most High,I take comfort in knowing that you are in the presence of the Most High in Heaven. I was told that your journey was the most peaceful.

Henrietta, I really love you from the depth of my heart. I surely will miss you dearly. However, God loves you most and has ended the pains and given you eternal peace.

Enjoypeaceand tranquility in the bosom of the Lordtill we meet to part no more.

With all mylove,

Hubby

Tribute to Our Dear Mum

Esther Ofeoritse Max-Onakpoya- May 26th 1997

Mum, I wish you were here with us. You were such a lovely person and I still can’t get over the fact that you are gone. You showed much love and care. While dad and I were all about arguing, you will be calm and peaceful. I’m still trying to be calmer and less argumentative… It’s not working. You were a great mum; you turned our house into a home. You made being a homemaker seem so easy. You would manage time so well that it made you seem like a multitasking ninja. You were very creative; you would always look for ways to improve your environment.

I remember when you would take us shopping and the boys would always complain about the amount of time we spent. You always made them keep quiet by promising to take us out. You were approachable, cherished family & ensured that we all showed love to each other. I miss you so much! I hope to see you again.

Till then with love,

Esther

I really miss my mom, Henrietta Max-Onakpoya, I loved her so very much. She was suffering, but God wanted the best for her and loved her very much, so he took her to heaven and now she is with Jesus and is pain free. Every time we got in trouble mom would say “God in Heaven!” and then we knew we were in huge trouble. I miss her laugh and all the times we joked with each other. She loved everyone and was a very calm and happy woman and she loved me and my brothers very much, she would do anything for us. I remember how she loved shopping and would find the best deal on clothes. She loved shopping at Macy’s, Kohls, Target, Marshalls, JCPenny, and especially Ross.

She loved many things and was very clean and wanted everything spotless. I loved my mother very much and I am going to miss her. I will always remember the good times we had together. I am going to miss her and I know she would always be in my heart. She is in a better place now, heaven, and I know she is looking down at us happily and I know we are good children and missing us. I love you mom!

Love, Your Son,

Daniel Max-Onakpoya

My mother was a great person and I would rather have her somewhere where she can be happy and never feel pain. She was friendly, kind, and the calmest person I knew. I am so sad that she had to leave. I love her so much but God wanted her to be happy and not be in pain so he had to take her to a place where angels sing all the time and everyone was happy nobody felt pain or felt sad. So I understand why she had to go. I will always remember her. And one day I will see her again.

Love,

David
