The dates, Wednesday 20th and Friday 22nd September 2023, the Service of Songs and the internment ceremony of my beloved late wife, Evang. (Mrs.) Hope Onioviro Ari, held in Warri, and in Otor-Owhe Town, Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State, respectively.

The past few weeks have been a tough one for us as we struggle to adjust our lives to cope with the vacuum created by her sudden passing unto eternal bliss. Recall also that we are yet to recover from the loss of our great father, Late High Chief J.G.B. Ari (JP) when her demise struck us spellbound. All the same, we thought it would be ingratitude on our parts to not duly acknowledge and show our appreciation to all who were of great assistance to us after the passage of the funeral ceremonies as regards my late wife.

It is on that note that I, Capt. Patrick Ari, on behalf of my children and other family members hereby offer our gratitude in appreciation for the support and encouragement we received from all those who showed concern to our plights during one of our most difficult points in life.

The names are numerous to mention and we are indeed short of words to express our gratitude. To all those from my hometown, Kokodiagbene community and from other communities in Gbaramatu Kingdom, we are grateful. To all those from Otor-Owhe Town in Isoko North, we also say thank you.

To the spiritual leaders and members of the St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Igbudu-Warri, Delta State, as well as those from St. Michael’s Anglican Church in Otor-Owhe, we say thank you for your spiritual and physical support which were of great assistance to us.

We are grateful to family members, friends, associates and other sympathisers who supported us physically, prayerfully, and financially. We want you all to know that your good works are noted, if not by us, from the Almighty God, who we pray to bless you.

It is also our prayers that we will all gather for celebration and not for mourning as we pray for God's mercies, grace, favour and protection on us all in Jesus name, Amen.

Signed:
CAPT. PATRICK ARI
