that ended in favour of Helen Prest-Ajayi, the remains of the founder of First Foundation Hospital were interred last Thursday at the Ebony Vaults, Ikoyi, Lagos.
Spotted at the burial ceremony were also the deceased’s legal wife, Adenike Oluyemi Ajayi, and her five children. Their presence alongside Helen Prest caused some melodrama. But for clergymen who did their best to ensure the event was as solemn as possible, it would have degenerated into a bigger mess.Her words read: “Saying our last goodbyes to my dearest kind, humble, wise, caring, loving, intellectually brilliant, generous, charming, fun loving husband.
“Adieu ‘Doc” dearest I ‘apolo’ for everything you have been put through, but God took control to help me give you a befitting and honorable burial. You are heaven’s gain and have gone forth to meet our deceased children Taiwo and Oluwatosin junior Idowu Ajayi – rest on in peace my love.” If Prest-Ajayi’s word play, ‘apolo,’ in this farewell message actually meant ‘apologise’, she realises the dead didn’t deserve the final hour of awkwardness.
