Hello, it is incredible how time seems to have flown by. Edna, it is to me and many of our friends just like yesterday when we last saw each other, but a lass, the reality is that we have been left with a gaping hole which only you could fill. You are greatly missed my sister. Your gift to us are your two beautiful and wonderful children. They are doing fine and growing up to be responsible..... Bella and "Paps" Akumbum have the support and love of family, but with you their guardian angel watching over them they shall continue to grow strong, with love and fear of God.

Well Edna, many of us do not understand the meaning of life and that is why we mourn so much. This life of ours is Gods property. When you tie up your goat somewhere and you return to untie it to take it away, no one has that right to question. I am paraphrasing my father, Rev. Mundi, and your father would have said the same thing. Rest in peace and look kindly on your kids here.

Edna, Something about life I am yet to understand. Needless to say how devoted you were, a devotion that must have secured you a place in heaven. Was with Dah last week after my mum's funeral, and wish you journey mercies as you go before us. Fare ye well. You are fondly missed, and your memories will live forever.

Rest, Edna, rest thou painlessly and peacefully. Be the Angel that Bella & Ryan can now boast to have known from the bossom. The fight you put up showed that God's will was done in the end. He gives and He takes. Your quiet graceful personality was an inspiration. Rest, graceful Lady, rest.

Dear Edna, news of your departure leaves us with a great shock. As we grew up in Kedjom Keku, we looked up to you as a wonderful big sister. It was rare to hear you shout or see you frown, I never heard. God alone understands the mystery. Gentle voice and soul rest in Peace in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Raymond,
My family and I are simply devastated to hear this. We lift up Edna's soul to the lord in prayer. Trying as this may seem, you know the Lord can never give you someone else's portion so take it, claim it, rejoice in it and then give in back to our Father! IT IS INDEED WELL!!!!!!
September 12, 2012
September 12, 2012
My dear Edna, I am sort of words to express my extreme sadness at your sudden departure. I pray that our God will guide your spirit to eternal rest with him. I shall miss your smile most. Rest in peace Edna until we meet again, for as sure as I breathe I know that we will all be re-united one day.

I saw you last at church with your two kids as always. I am in total shock and disbelief. One thing is for sure you are in a better place. Our days spent in PHS KUMBA will forever be cherished. May your soul and that of our principal Cryspus Tunyi rest in the Lord. To Florence Tunyi stay strong. I remember how you always fought EDNA"S battles.RIP EDNA!!!!

Edna, I have yet to believe that you are gone. We would never have answers, only the Lord knows why. Your last request to me was "call Bella." How do I explain, I pray God helps us all. May God rest your soul until we meet again to part no more.
September 12, 2012
September 12, 2012
Edna, You were a great mum, wife, sister, and friend. You'll be missed. May your soul rest in peace.

To Bella and Ryan, I say take heart my children. Only God knows why certain things happen to us. Being an adult I sometime fine my self asking why, what more of young kids like both of you. Bella and Ryan, know that God does not give us burdens we cannot carry. Stay strong my children, accept condolence from Betsy, Shanille, and McNeil. Mom is resting perfect peace with the Lord.

September 10, 2012
Edna, where ever you may be, whatever you may be doing, just understand that behind you left an army of people who really care and miss you so much. We cannot bring you back because we know your early departure is to go and prepare a better place for us. We cannot question why because our Heavenly Father knows better. One promise I make is to love and take care of the kids just like you.

Edna - you have run your race and won. We know that you are in perfect "peace" now. In this wise, death has not won. You have just gone ahead to prepare a place for us all. There is a democracy about death, and that is, it will eventually come equally to all of us. Thank you for sharing your love of people and your beautiful smile with us.
May you rest in PEACE!!

Auntie Edna, It's hard to imagine that you are gone, that we will never see that smile and hear that voice. We loved you very much and wanted you to stay but God Almighty loved you more and wanted you by his side. Continue to watch over us especially your two beautiful kids. May you rest in perfect peace!!
September 9, 2012

Edna, you lit every dark soul with your smile and comforted every weary soul with your Angelic voice. While we are going to miss you, we promise to keep your values and treasures alive, just like you would.
Rest in peace.

Edna, lovely princess of Africa gone too soon. I am praying for you in California where I live, my dear Kedjom daughter. May God's grace shine on you eternally where you are. The two children you have left behind and your dear husband shall be blessed with the greatness you would have wished for them. Rest in peace.

Edna dear, You did not prepare me for this at all. It's so hard to believe but I must say I admire your courage and your humility. You fought hard.You fought a good fight and you finished the race. I hope you are resting very well at the bosom of your creator. Rest Edna, rest. Rest till we meet again.

Auntie Edna will be missed. She was very caring. She cared about her family dearly. She had a gentle and gracious attitude towards life. She lives on in our memories and I just know that she is now in heaven looking down on us, watching over us. She was taken away from us too soon but may she rest in peace in God’s Kingdom.

Dear Edna, Alice Mundi, Grace Mbeng, and I stopped by the hospital on August 12, when we arrived Washington DC, to see you. Your state in that intensive care unit frightened us. We wanted to pray with you.You were unable. We prayed for you, asking God to lift you out of this abyss of ill health. Indeed ,God Has in His Divine Decision lifted you into His Bossom. Halleluyah, Amen!

It is so true that death is like an inexperienced farmer, who when harvesting, makes no distinction between the ripe and the unripe fruits. Otherwise how can we explain the fact that you should be snatched by the cold hands of death when the family needs you most? But as Christians, we have no right to question God’s will and decision. We are sure he will keep you in his bosom till we meet to part

Now I understand when you told me on the 17 July 2012, that you were sending me a “Baby” not Raymond as he was ill as I would have to be taking care of him. Well thank you and thank God. I will do my best and leave the rest to God alone who has the plans in his hands. Sleep, sleep, Edna. I will surely join you one day.

Edna, where ever you may be, whatever you may be doing, know that you left an army of people who love, care, and miss you. We cannot bring you back because your early departure is to go prepare a better place us. We don't want to ask why because our heavenly Father knows better. Rest assured that we will take good care of the kids and protect them just the way you would do. Rest in peace.

'' Don't worry about me, worry about mami.we go talk" were your last words to me. I cannot imagine you are gone. You have left a deep void in my heart and I will miss you everyday. You were more than a sister-in law, more than a best friend. We talked on a daily basis about everything. I thank the Lord for the life you lived and the precious memories we shared. I will love you forever. RIP

 Do not stand at my grave and weep
 I am not there.I do not sleep
 I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am gentle autumn rain
 When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet white dovers in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, i did not die.
I am just sitting next door
With the lord. 

The End of The Day

September 11, 2012

Under day's thin and ghastly light

Life writhes, runs, dances without reason,

Impudent and shrill with spite.

-Soon as over the horizon

 

Night, voluptuous and vast,

Arise, making hunger tame,

Hiding all things, even shame,

The Poet to himself: "At last!

 

My spirit and my jaded spine

Beg ardently for rest. I go,

With dark dreams in this heart of mine,

 

To lay me down upon my back,

O cooling curtains of deep shadow,

To roll and wrap me in your black."

         -Jackson Mathews
