Daddy,

As I pause and reflect back over the years gone by, I find myself pondering hard…….

Were my expressions of gratitude ever enough for the unconditional sacrifices you made; your countless support and assistance to my family.

My childhood experience as much as I can remember, was one of the best; I went to one of the best schools in Port Harcourt, I enjoyed the privilege of dinning with your family, attended same events with your children, attended trainings and be in places my parents couldn’t afford, became a graduate and I am where I am today all because you created room for me in your large loving heart.

You were always there for my parents like a rock; a calm go to place of safety.

My father, Timothy Solomon was one of your employees among others whom you took as family.

Rev. Stephen Akinola (Daddy), was indeed ” A symbol of the fruits of the Spirit”, a man of great Faith and filled with Thanksgiving .

Thank you for portraying the fruits of the Spirit with your exemplary lifestyle.

I am also thankful to God for blessing us with you and I take solace in knowing you are in a better place, where there is no pain.

You live in our hearts always.

Daddy sun re o, till we meet again.

Your legacy lives on.
