‎The wife of late Nollywood actor Junior Pope, Jennifer Awele, is in mourning over the death of her father-in-law, Ozor Luke Odonwodo, one year after the death of her husband.

‎ ‎Taking to her Instagram page, Junior Pope’s wife, Jennifer Awele, revealed that she was with her father-in-law in Enugu barely a month ago, and she was informed some days later of his death.

‎ ‎She described him as one man who genuinely loved her, and she is thankful that she was able to spend some time with him before his demise.

‎ ‎She noted that mourning both father and son in the space of one year is a lot , and prayed for God to give her and her mother-in-law the strength to keep pushing.

‎ ‎She wrote: ‎“Barely one month ago, I was with you in Enugu. Some days later, Reme (my mother-in-law) called, asked how me and her boys were doing, and then said that her husband had gone to meet my husband.

‎ ‎“I screamed, but had to quickly pull myself together as she started crying after I screamed.

‎ ‎“Ozor Luke Odonwodo is one man that genuinely loved me, and I’m so thankful I got to spend time with him even though short unknowingly in his last days.

‎ ‎“He passed as an octogenarian who lived a good life, paid his dues, sacrificed a lot for his family and loved ones, and happily reaped the fruits of his labour.

‎ ‎“Reme, Nwanyiomam, this is actually a lot within one year, but I pray God gives you and us all the strength we need to keep pushing no matter how hard it seems.

‎ ‎“Adieu father and son. You are sorely missed, but we hold onto the resurrection promises in John 5:28-29 and Acts 24:15.

‎ ‎“Ozor Luke Odonwodo, Jnr Pope Odonwodo — may your gentle souls rest in perfect peace till we meet to part no more."
