“Mama deserved to rest from all earthly toils, but no matter the age of our loved ones when they die, it is normal for us to mourn their absence and memories.

“We are proud of what late mama Felicia did while alive. She gifted the world a visionary and trailblazer in the world of sports casting”, Oshundun remarked.

He urged Dr Larry Izamoje and the entire family to take solace in the fact that the matriarch of the Izamoje’s family played her part while leaving an indelible mark on the sand of time.

“We pray that her soul finds the deserved rest in the bosom of God while praying for those she left behind to be consoled in the fact that the ultimate end of every living soul on earth is death.”
