No one can ever take your place," wrote one of ger children, Nora Idibi Guwor, while one of her daughter, Vivian Dickson Lucky, wrote "You were precious a gift from God; so much beauty and grace. Love and patience you possessed. You touched my heart on so many ways, even on dark days. Your strength and smile made me realize I had an angel besides me."

"To my mother in Heaven, thank you for always loving me and guiding me. Even though you are no longer here with me, I can still feel your love guiding me. You are always in my heart. I love you and miss you dearly," wrote Mr Asupa David Dickson.

"Tears drift down my face as I am writing this piece with my heart fiery from the innermost telling me that from now on I will spend the rest of my life here on earth without my loving caring and encouraging mother. It is really hard to believe that you are no more. You will forever be in my heart. Rest on mom," wrote Lilian Dickson

“My mother was one of the strongest, bravest and kindest humans to grace this planet. Without her I wouldn’t be the person I am and I wouldn’t have the life that I have. She is everything to me and more, and there’s no way I could ever quantify the importance she held in my life. I love you mom,” Christian Dickson lamented.

On his part, Prosper Dickson wrote, "Dear mom, I’m so grateful for the way I was raised. You were never afraid to be my mother, to put your foot down to teach me right from wrong to make sure I did my best. You always let me know I had a mama who cared about me, who believed in me no matter what. Rest in peace mom."

While Presley Dickson in his tributes wrote, "My lovely mom I miss you so much and I can’t believe that death has taken you away from us. You will forever remain in our hearts," Charity Dickson on her part confesed, "My sweet mom I miss you so much. I couldn’t believe you are gone forever my beloved mother, the strongest woman I know. I miss you so much my love. Rest on my mama."

"My mummy love, words are not enough to express how I feel, knowing that you have departed this world. You have left a vacuum that can’t be filled by anyone. I miss you so much. In my next life I still want you to be my mom. Rest on mummy love," Faith Dickson wrote.

"To the world, you were one person, but to me you were the world. You didn’t have much, but we always felt we had everything. You didn’t have millions in your bank account, but you left a legacy worth much more. I miss you dearly. Rest on mom" confessed Ebimiye Dickson, as Delight Dickson also lamented, "Mummy, why did you leave your baby in this world all to himself? Your son misses you every day. Your absence is unbearable. I love you till we meet again."
