"For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain"-Philippians 1:21.
This summarizes the latter part of Mami Anastasia Ade's Christian life. As you may notice in the photos in the gallery, she seemed to literally live everyday thinking about the work of God, doing it, or encouraging others to do so. On the day she went home to her Lord-through a massive stroke, she was driving home (and attired in her CWF-Christian Women's Fellowship uniform) from a prayer retreat at Church. She had just dropped off two younger CWF women who testified to how she had been encouraging them during the ride to hope in God. She was found unresponsive a few minutes later (circa 1:30AM in her car) right in front of her Washington-DC-based home, where Pa Ade was waiting for her.
Mom has left an excellent pedigree and we believe though she left from a retreat and had a stroke, she is currently at a different retreat. With the angels of God in dazzling white robes, she is probably in a euphoric state with mouth and eyes wide open, staring at the Lamb of God seated on the right hand side of the Father.

Mami, is been a while. Today marks 5 years of your passing into glory. Your Benjamin as you fondly called, me is now a registered nurse, and a married woman. Married to this wonderful man, Obum. Continue to bask in the beauty of His holiness. Your legacy continues to live through us. I love and miss you dearly.

Sweet mother; like a candle in the wind you were gone from this sinful world; and all I am left with are memories. Although I miss you dearly, it soughts my heart to know, that all the burdens and cares of this world were cast off your shoulders, as you went to be with the Lord. I know you must be doing what you loved to do best...worshipping and singing praises to the Most High. Oh! what joy to be in His presence. What is it like? How was your welcome ceremony like? But, these questions will all remain rhetorics for now. Mami! you lived an exemplary life, and taught by example. May your teachings continue to live with me, not just in my heart, but in my deeds as well. Gone from me, but your memories live on. Happy mothers day! which, I hope is celebrated in grand style in heaven.
Hello mama im so shocked and confused for what the owner of your life has decided, though i know its a part of life for every one . i can still remember the first day you took me to the B.T Center, how you were so glad for the little marks i got for the English test and that encouraged me to do more. you thought me to always be dependent and responsible. you bought for me my fisrt cake moles, chose for me a good career, told me small old and funny stories
i wanted to learn more from you but death.........

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

A Mother for ALL |

Mami Ade,
I had never spoken to you before nor really know that you were such a great lady and more to that a woman who fears the Lord. I know you well now after reading through what your children have written. I know all your children who are here in US and I respect them all for the way they carry themselves in the communittee. Yes you were real a mother to them and to other children you raised who were not your children. You will really be missed by many, both young and old and expecially your beloved husband. May your soul rest in peace and even though it looked like you still had enough energy to keep going serving God's people, but according to God you have completed your mission on earth. It is left for those whose life you impacted to continue trusting in the Lord so that one day you will all meet again.
I am happy because I know God will say " YOU FAUGHT THE RACE AND YOU WON, WELL DONE MY BELOVED DAUGHTER".
