 Psalm 23

We do not understand, but we stand strong on our Faith that death is truly the day of one's birth.  There is a time to mourn, and we will mourn.  But there is also a time to dance, and we are certain that time is now for Olubunmi.

When tragedy strikes, it is easy and natural to question why.

We wonder why things happen the way they happen, but only in times like these. 

We never question the good things in life, like the time we did have with Olubunmi.  No, we normally take them for granted.  But it's the good times that we will remember most and cherish most.

There is so much pain being cut off from you so suddenly.  There are so many things left unsaid and so many things said too infrenquently.  If only we could express how much we love you just one more time.

Though your life was cut short, you seem to have lived more in your life than most ever do.  You had a zeal for life, whether you thought so or not, and it rubbed off on all those around you.  We are all better off having known such an amazing person.

So, we will try to remember all those great things that made you who you were and try to not ask why.  We will remember those special times spent with you and not wonder what we may have missed.

You lived life with a glass-is-half-full attitude, so we will try to move on, following your lead.
