In a heartfelt condolence message, Senator Ehigie Uzamere has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Lady Helen Owie, wife of the esteemed Senator Rowland Owie. Reflecting on the inevitability of life and death, Senator Uzamere emphasized that every human being has a divine timeline, with life’s journey beginning at birth and ending in a return to the Creator.
Describing Lady Helen as a cherished pillar of strength within the Owie family and a valuable asset to Edo State and Nigeria at large, Uzamere praised her unwavering support for her husband, which he said greatly contributed to Senator Rowland Owie’s accomplishments in politics and public service. He also extolled her virtues as a devoted mother and devout Christian whose legacy will continue to inspire.
He wrote;
”It is appointed unto man to live and die. Our lives have an entry point; the day we were born, and an exit point – the day we go back to our Maker in fulfillment of the scripture which says that man is dust, and unto dust we shall return. All God’s creations in human form have “NAFDAC” expiry dates embedded in our bodies from the day we were born.
“Though it hurts us humans when dear ones pass on to eternity, it pleases God to recall His own. It has pleased God to recall our brother and political leader, Senator Rowland Owie’s wife, Lady Helen Owie. In our tears, we must find space in our hearts to thank God for the life of Lady Helen Owie. She was a precious gift to the Owie family, mankind, her immediate community, Edo State, and Nigeria in general. Her unwavering support for her husband contributed immensely to his achievements as a politician, community leader, and elderstatesman. She was a loving mother who spared nothing to bring up well cultured and lovely children. She was a devoted Christian.
“I pray that God accepts her soul and grants her rest. To my distinguished senior and my leader, Emeritus ranking Senator Rowland Owie and the family she left behind.”
On behalf of the House of Ehigie Uzamere, the former senator offered his deepest condolences to the Owie family, praying for divine comfort and strength as they navigate this period of mourning. He also prayed for the peaceful repose of Lady Helen’s soul.
