Renowned Nollywood star Mercy Aigbe has expressed deep emotions in a touching tribute to honor her late mother ahead of today’s solemn burial ceremony.
Earlier this week, Aigbe had formally announced the passing of her beloved mother, Madam Grace Abisola Owodunni, and detailed the plans for her final rites.
The actress, who held a moving Service of Songs in her mother’s honor on Thursday, sought divine strength to navigate this period of grief.
Reflecting on the legacy of her late mother, she described her heart as overflowing with cherished moments, profound thankfulness, and enduring affection.
She fondly remembered her mother as a beacon of kindness, a nurturing presence, and a devoted grandmother whose love shone brightly through her bond with her grandchildren.
“Today weighs heavy on my soul.
The coming day will be even more profound as we lay her to her final resting place.
Yet, in faith, I trust divine grace to carry us through.
As we gather in song and remembrance, my heart is drenched in recollections, in gratitude, in boundless love.
You were a gift—soft yet radiant, tender yet steadfast.
Witnessing your joy with your grandchildren revealed the depth of your love and the warmth you brought to every moment.
Sleep peacefully, my guardian. Your legacy of light burns eternal within us.”
