Francisca was very special. I am blessed to have been her friend. Her love, wisdom, humour and humility were always evident. Her contributions will continue to bless others. I send my prayers and love to all of her family.

Francisca was not just my sister, she was my friend, my mentor, my guiding light. Her passing has left a void which I am struggling to come to terms with. But I find solace in the gift of faith in God which she passed onto me and all who loved her. Sleep in peace my big Sister.

Our whole congregation is most grateful to Francisca for her unselved devotion and service to our church, in particular as Reader, where she admirably served a 3-year term. While she will be greatly missed in person, in spirit she will remain long in our hearts.

The news of your death is difficult for me to accept. You were more than a good friend, but was like a family member. "Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, your exemplary standard of excellence and perfection made you well respected". I miss you very much and your memories will live on forever in my heart. You achieved your goal on earth, your accomplishments are perpetual. Francisca was a dedicated wife, mother, who was very caring and supportive to her family members. In addition, she shared your academic accomplishments by writing books which would try to educate the public and solve many nutritional problems among the Nigerians and international countries that she worked with.
