Growing up with Jacinta was truly a blessing, for she made every day feel like an adventure. Like a graceful gazelle bounding through the wilderness, she embraced life with fervor and joy, leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to have known her. Jacinta possessed an unwavering spirit, one that absorbed the essence of her remarkable mother, Urewuchi, and radiated a motherly love to her younger siblings.
My dear Jacinta, you were a divine gift from God, a beacon of kindness, love, and strength in our lives. Your presence filled the room with warmth, and your gentle guidance benefitted everyone who met you. Your role as a sister was not just in the blood, but also in the genuine care and compassion that flowed naturally from your soul. You nurtured and protected your younger siblings, enveloping them in your motherly love, just as a lioness courageously shields her cubs from harm.
When I think of you, Jacinta, I see a superwoman, a woman who faced life's challenges head-on, never allowing herself to be deterred. You were like a candle in the wind, steadfastly shining your light, even when faced with the most tempestuous storms. Your resilience, courage, and unwavering love for your family were truly awe-inspiring.
Today, as we bid you farewell, I cannot help but feel a profound sense of loss. It was on this day that our beloved mother, Urewuchi, left this earthly world, and now, you too embark on this journey. But let us take solace in knowing that this is not a permanent goodbye. Just as the night always gives way to the dawn, we shall meet again in the realm of spirits, where time and distance hold no sway.
As Elton John's timeless ballad, "Candle in the Wind," resonates deeply with us, we remember that it is through the darkness of loss that we find the courage to embrace the light of beautiful, cherished memories. Your love and devotion to your husband, children, and grandchildren were immeasurable. You clothed them not only in the physical sense but also in the loving embrace of your heart. Your spirit will forever guide and protect them, just as you did in this life.
So, let us not drown in tears, for Jacinta's message to us is clear: a life well-lived is not measured in tears alone, but in the laughter, love, and inspiration she leaves behind. Let us be inspired by her humility, the beacon of her strength, and the grace that emanated from every fiber of her being.
Goodbye, my dear Jacinta, goodnight until we meet again. Though we must part for now, our love for you will remain eternal. We carry your memory in our hearts, and your spirit shall forever guide us. As you journey into the spiritual realm, know that you will forever be our beloved big sister, guiding us with your watchful presence.
May your soul find eternal peace, dear Jacinta. As we celebrate the remarkable life you lived, we pray that you find solace in the arms of our Heavenly Father. And now, let us take a moment of silence to honor the beautiful soul that was Jacinta Onuegbu nee Iheoma.
Rest in eternal peace, dear sister. We will remember you always.
