I am so lost for words.You have fought this battle and fought it head on.Only God knows what is good for us and he does what he wants to do.
You touched my life in so many ways.may your soul rest in perfect peace.Will forever miss you.
I will miss you and all the stories starting from PS Kumba town Pict # 25 until I visited you in Manassas, VA. I lack words to describe my pain but God will provide for those you left behind. Please greet all frieRIP. Esambi
I fondly remember the fun times we had rummaging through 'stuff' to send to Cameroon and Gabon. Ashia for all the hard work. May our ancestors receive you for a well deserved rest. Rest in Peace my friend.
Thank you for the brief time spent in my life. My life was enriched because of it. Through you I was connected to a larger community and family during a time when I needed it most. May you rest in peace and your family be comforted by the thought that you made an important contribution to so many during your time on earth.

One year today and it all still feels like yesterday. It feels like just yesterday you (Uncle Eric) said to me..."Maeh I want sunglasses like the ones you're wearing so that I can sit out here in the sun". I gave my sunglasses to you, not knowing that would be your last request from me and my last gift (material) to you.
One year today and it all still feels like yesterday, when that dreaded call came and there was nothing left to do but remember the time we had with you; the smile you so generously showered on everyone you met, the love you wholeheartedly shared with the world and the kind, selfless acts you bestowed upon all.
One year today and it all still feels like yesterday...
Gone but Never Forgotten
Yes, I cannot thank Eric enough for providing me with a copy of the above picture. We were classmates in PS Kumba Town Class 6A, with Mr. Alobwede far left as teacher. From the picture, I am the pupil (not student) kneeling next to the teacher (no tie) while Eric is standing next to the Student teacher (far -right with white shirt and black tie) with open shirt no buttons.
I do not know where to start regarding all the fun stories with Eric, from going to bath at Barombi-Lake after end of term exams, learning how to swim in a swimming pool behind GTTC, same pool used by prisoners. Climbing the fruit trees called Cast mango along the path leading to the main GTTC campus. Bathing in the Elongo River and many many wonderful memories.
I have know Eric since PS kumba town where we both members of the school band during 11th. Feb and 20th. May marching in Town green. I have lots of tears in my eye and I will always remember and will forever miss your friendship.I have lost a very dear friend indeed. May you rest in peace.
One week before you made your transition
Eric it was wonderful having you as a dear friend and I was blessed to get a phone call from you because I was always encouraged before we hang up the phone.
One week before you made the transition to our Daddy God I recieved a phone call from a close friend that you wanted to see me. Your instructions were that I do not call but come by and boy I'm I glad I obeyed and came by that fateful Tuesday. I was a bit skeptical and wondered all night what you really wanted to discuss with me. I got to your store and there you were getting therapy from the sun. I had never seen you that weak before but you still gathered the strength and energy to first smile and acknowledge my presence. Then as the business man that you always were, you got straight to business and told me why. I was relieved because the task you gave me was one that I can handle by God's grace and I thank you for trusting me. If I knew that would be our last conversation I would have told you how your encouragements helped me a lot of times when I got tired or confused whether I was on the right track. I would have told you so much but I guess you knew and now know the kind of man you were... a true blessing. Rest in peace my dear brother and friend, I will always remember the last task you gave me.
