The gentle soul of Princess Mrs. Rita Ofure Obidike was finally laid to rest after a glorious, colourful, farewell ceremony by the Gbinigie family, Friends and Associates in London.
It was an emotion laden and electrifying moment for everyone who shared a close bond with Rita, the Managing Director, Discovery Travels and Tours.
It was also tributes galore for the distinguished life style of Ofure who lived not just for herself, but for the world around her.
She lived a wonderful life and gave it to so many people who crossed her path and it was noted by everyone that her legacy will live on.
Though Rita may no longer walk amongst the living again, her children, family, friends and associates mourn a life cut short, and celebrate a life well lived.
Her story will continue to inspire everyone to live with purpose, compassion and leave the world better than they found it.
