When Auto Dealer, Adebayo Adesola Remembered Mama

“Memories are the one place we can visit those we’ve lost. Since memories are portable, we can take our lost loved ones with us anywhere at any time.”

This anonymous quote captures the mood of a popular automobile top player and business mogul, Adebayo Adesola and his siblings. Since their mother Madam Caroline Adesola, exited this mother earth four years ago, her memories have remained with the children.

She died on May 1, 2020, at the age of 71, leaving a trail of grief in the hearts of her loved ones. However, they were quickly comforted by the fact that Mama lived a fulfilled life and impacted humanity positively.

So, Adesola, the Ondo State-born managing director of Vision Wheel, alongside his siblings, pulled all the stops and gave their septuagenarian mother a befitting burial. She was interred at the Vaults and Gardens, Ikoyi, Lagos, in a funeral that was attended by top personalities from all walks of life from home and abroad.

Family sources said Mama was given everything she dreamt of and so much more by her children even before she was diagnosed with cancer during a summer trip in 2015. The business mogul and his siblings didn’t spare anything to ensure that she underwent intensive treatment till her cancer was in remission. Unfortunately, it resurfaced five years after, finally succumbing to it.

Since she was taken away by the Grim Reaper, she has remained in their memories. Last week, her children gathered once again for a memorial prayer for the soul of their loving mother. Society Watch gathered that they shared food and money with the less privileged in honour of the woman who meant the world to them.
