According to her, they mutually respected one another enough to 'ceasefire' whenever disagreements arose.
She wrote:
"In all fours, I am glad we respected ourselves enough to cease the drama we were either involved in.
I am.glad I listened to you when we last chatted.
Kola.... It is well oooooo
Once again, it's not sinking in that you are no more...
I'm off Facebook again. I just came in to drop my few lines as words fail me beyond my being
I'm shaken, to my roots. Face bare as I can't even cry or believe."
Defunke also recalled how Kola used to call her “Aunty Funke,” describing the memory as something that continues to ring in her head.

In her words:
"So much to write, but I can't even string words...
How you call me "aunty funke (with the f silent) is Ringing in my head....
Maybe it's a lie
Maybe you will dm on what'saap and say it's a prank
Maybe they don't know you are tired and lodged in a hotel and your phones are dead.
Maybe we will laugh at those crying already...
You are now trending ooooo."
She added:
"Imagine in death, you are trending so much....
And no one has said anything negative to say...
Oh boy... You are an enigma. You are a legend.
KOLAAAAAA... Like I call you... I wish I had known you so long as the years of those who knew you and enjoyed your presence, aura, friendship....
Maybe
Maybe....
My mental health is derailing again.... It's not easy and I can't accept that you are gone ooooo
Gosh."
