Iyabo also reflected on the continuous guidance and spiritual support she received from the doctor, even during disagreements, emphasizing that she always felt her presence and prayers.

She wrote:

“A beautiful soul she was. I can never forget back in 2004, how she treated Festus and Priscilla when they were little. I thought I’d lose them both, but she said, ‘No. Not on my watch.’ She was a great doctor and an even greater prayer warrior. Even though Funke and I fought countless times, she never stopped calling me, never stopped praying for me. She’d always say, ‘Emi o da si ija iwo ati ore re o. One day, e ma settle e. Omo mi nigbogbo yin.’ (My spirit will stand between you and your enemies. One day, it’ll settle. My child, I love you all.) She was indeed a mother to all. I will always love her. Rest in peace, mama.”
