Dearest Nyamekye, exactly ten years ago you departed this earth for eternity.
Since then, our hearts still ache in sadness.
What it means to lose you, no one but us will ever know.
Remembering you is easy because we do it every day but the ache within our hearts will never go away.
On this tenth anniversary of your passing, we say for certain that your life was a blessing and your memory a treasure.
You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure
by Senyo, Eli, Oku and the rest of the family.

I actually forgot the date of your demise, but I believe it wasn't a coincidence that you came to my mind this morning as I was pondering over some issues about my marriage and career. you were such a great friend and counsellor to us and we will forever miss your love and care. Continue to rest in the Lord till we meet again at that beautiful shore.

“If our hope in Christ is good for this life only and no more, then we deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world. But the truth is that Christ has been raised from death, as the guarantee that those who sleep in death will also be raised.”

You are forever in my thoughts, especially this month of October with the fond memories of celebrating your birthdays.

“If corpses can’t be raised, then Christ wasn’t, because He was indeed dead. And if Christ weren’t raised, then all you’re doing is wandering about in the dark, as lost as ever.
It’s even worse for those who died hoping in Christ and resurrection, because they’re already in their graves.

If all we get out of Christ is a little inspiration for a few short years, we’re a pretty sorry lot. But the truth is that Christ has been raised up, the first in a long legacy of those who are going to leave the cemeteries.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:16-20‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Adwoa, Gladys and I remember you fondly. We recall our fellowship as students and members of the UCF. We went through our wedding pictures of 1978 and you were with us. As we remember your passing, we are made acutely aware of our own mortality and we pray that as you have joined the church triumphant and surround us with your cheers and encouragement, our struggle with the world, the flesh and satan will be victorious and will join the church triumphant with no need to be ashamed. Our prayers are with Senyo, Eli and Oku. Rest in peace our dear sister.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:1-3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

"We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blessed;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet onthat beautiful shore..."

Auntie Nyamekye, you are forever in our heart. We love you but we just have to come to terms with the fact that our God loves you most!
Sleep peacefully in the bosom of your Maker till we meet again!
Our fervent prayers are ongoing for the family!

To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.”

“Forever with the Lord!”
Amen, so let it be!
Life from His death is in that word
’Tis immortality.
Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day’s march nearer home

My Father’s house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith’s foreseeing eye
Thy golden gates appear!
Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above.

“Forever with the Lord!”
Forever in His will,
The promise of that faithful word,
Lord, here in me fulfill.
With You at my right hand,
Then I shall never fail;
Uphold me, Lord, and I shall stand,
Through grace I will prevail.

So when my latest breath
Breaks through the veil of pain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
That resurrection word,
That shout of victory:
Once more, “Forever with the Lord!”
Amen, so let it be!

Dearest Nyamekye,
Today, I replayed again the last events(24hrs) that led to your passing into eternity two years ago and what i felt is that i miss you terribly and it is going to be impossible to find such a wonderful human being as a best friend and companion again. Eli and I visited your grave this morning(I was almost hoping against hope that we will meet your there).
We took you flowers and prayed. We told God how much we missed you and what a beautiful person and example you were to all of us and how much we were blessed by your presence. We asked God to strengthen and empower us to continue your example of love, faith and hope in God and mankind in spite everything bad thing that we may encounter.
See you soon my love and best friend.

Yes, a year ago when we were shocked to hear the passing on of our sister and friend, the ever smiling Nyamekye. Much as she is having great time with her maker and free from pain, there is much vacuum left behind particularly in the life of Senyo and kids. Nonetheless, the good Lord is and will keep them through. Nyamekye, enjoy your rest. You kept the faith to the end and that is commendable. We shall miss you all the same Kings & Doris Osei

Today feels like just a moment ago when we shared our last meal together (thanks to the help from Oku). You saw us to your door with all the strength you could manage as we heard you say your last farewell, parting with that familiar heart warming smile. How we miss you - family, friends and loved ones alike, yet comforted and strengthened by the assurance that you are indeed at rest and in peace with The Lord.

A year comes so early, but that is only perhaps for those whose desks are full, but for others, it is could be a long time. Short or long, we thank God for this remembrance. The perpetual smile on the picture depicts her life: a warm embrace of the goodness of the Lord, and her acknowledgement of the deep spiritual inheritance of life in the Lord Jesus Christ as her priceless possession. As we observe the anniversary, our prayers are for her beloved husband and children and the rest of the family that she cherished so much. The smile, again, is an invitation to steer our minds and aspirations to where she is resting presently: the sweet bosom of our Lord Jesus the Christ.

Nyamekye, a year ago you left us unceremoniously, leaving an aching void in our hearts. We are comforted by knowing that you now rest in the bosom of the Father free from earthly afflictions and pain. Until we all join you on that eternal shore, continue to enjoy your rest. Your memory lives on.
January 22, 2015
January 22, 2015
A year has gone by since you truly crossed over to eternity; the memories are still fresh, home has been different without you but your presence is always felt. I am sure glad to have and continue to be a part of the odyssey. The wedding in June in Spokane was different without you but sure did go on. You may be gone but not forgotten. Barbara, Akua, Afua and Ebo are all indebted for your love here on earth. We stand on His word that "absence from the body is presence with the Lord" 2 Cor 5:8

God saw that she was getting a bit tired and cure was not to be. So He put His loving arms around Nyamekye and whispered, "Come with Me". With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay, because He had made the command and He must be obeyed. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands called to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us that He only takes the very best! Rest in peace my sister ... just rest. You are home with your maker and that is what He has sanctioned, with the promise that He will take care of, and sustain all those with broken hearts. We will be okay because He who promised is faithful. Damirifa ... Damirifa ... Damirifa.

We are still reeling from the shocking news of our dear sister’s demise. ‘Mekye was how I liked to call her and anytime she heard me address her so over the phone, she would easily identify me, no matter how hard I tried to disguise my voice. I recall with fondness when as kids, my siblings and I used to visit the Abutakyi household and later in our adulthood she and Senyo always welcomed me to their home in London on many occasions. We continued to draw inspiration from each other upon our return to Ghana after our sojourns abroad. We last spoke over the phone in October, 2013. When I enquired of her health, she replied stoically, “I am taking it a day at a time”!! Early in January, 2014, I had intended phoning her to give her well-wishes for New Year upon her return from Accra but alas, it wasn’t to be!! “God’s Gift”, the Lord knows best. Rest in perfect peace.

The memories linger on........so sweet, so gentle and so beautiful. Nyamekye you were indeed a good and perfect gift from above, not only to Senyo and your "boys" but to humanity. We were honoured to have you all visit our home in Italy years back; there I truly had opportunity to experience your gentleness firsthand.Several years later when Albert passed, you were there and sat with me for a long time after the service. That was comforting. Nyamekye thank you for leaving a bit of yourself in our hearts to cherish and carry with us always.
Hey! you made the best "korkor" (ripe plantain) and kontomire stew I have ever had.

You were named Nyamekye, “God’s gift” and yes, Nyamekye Ampofoa, you were a gift to the family, and those with whom you crossed path. God’s gift, Nyamekye, you lived true to your name. You exhibited elegance, grace and splendor, radiating the beauty of Christ during your short earthly journey. You did not allow your physical afflictions to define your destiny and, in the midst of excruciating pains, lived a fulfilled life. As a Christian you never lost sight of the essence of life and by the confession of your faith you showed that you were prepared to meet your Maker anytime He would call you home. During several of our phone conversations and a visit to you while receiving medical treatment in London you always would end by reminding me that you were taking it a day at a time under the grace and providence of God but also testifying that the Lord had done so much for you, more than you ever hoped for. Like the men of faith of old you portrayed the Christian as a pilgrim on this earth, affirming death is only a door to all that is far better.
Ampofoa, you repeatedly made us aware of the gravity of your health situation yet I still cannot come to terms that you are no longer with us. I will miss your sweet, calm and contagious smile. My little and dearest cousin, God’s gift to the Ampofo family, the Asamoah Yaw clan of Mampong-Akwapim and to the larger human community whom you blessed with your presence, enjoy and rest in the bosom of the Lord your Maker until we meet again.

We first met as ‘ninoes’ in Aburi Girls’ Secondary School and as part of the ‘B’ class, we found ourselves together in a closely-knit group. God brought us together again on Cape Coast University campus where, as room-mates, we became really close and shared such intimate times, as only room-mates can. Together with T. Ankumah (Annan) we spent a lot of time in the ‘inner chamber ‘ where Nyamekye’s bed was, chatting, laughing, praying and encouraging one another in the faith. We would kneel down at Nyamekye’s bed and pray, but not before Nyamekye had made sure we had emptied our mouths of our chewing gums. “We must go before God with reference”, She would say. We rarely missed the campus Christian fellowship meetings. They were so rich and our Christian lives grew by leaps and bounds.

Nyamekye returned from one GHAFES (Ghana Fellowship of Evangelical Students) conference extraordinarily excited. – She had met a certain young man, called Senyo Tetteh (S.T.) whom we secretly referred to as ‘Simon Templar’. From then on, he became the subject of many of our most intense prayers. Needless to say, our prayers and those of others were answered. They culminated in a glorious wedding and more importantly, the beautiful union and home to which we all bore witness.
The last time I communicated with Nyamekye was in an on-line chat. She had just returned to England after spending what she described as ‘the time of her life’ with Senyo and their two boys, Eli and Oku in Ghana, but was already looking forward to her next trip back home. She expressed how difficult it was for her to be in England away from her husband.

Nyamich, Adwoa Ampofoa, my cherished friend, I will miss you greatly, but I am comforted because I know you are in that super-glorious place with Jesus! As He promised us in John 14:2-3: There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. (NLT)

So soon you had to leave
Without a chance even to say good bye
If only you were here
If only you could see
The pain and hurt we feel inside

Ooh Nyamekye! 
Dear friend and sister!
A dear wife!
A dear mother! 
Though you're not here
We will always remember
You will stay alive
In our hearts forever

Even as you go along your way
We'll treasure the many times we shared with you
Deep inside our hearts
You will forever stay

We first met in the 1980s when Nyamakye lived in Liberia and was my colleague at the University of Liberia. We became close friends and Nyamakye and Senyo both got to know my whole family. We later lost touch when the Tettehs left Liberia but got back together when I moved to Ghana in 2005. Even after such a long period of not being in touch, we resumed our friendship. I will miss you Nyamakye. Sonii/Magdalene

Nyamekye, My Dear Friend & Sister,

How brief life has been, how shocking, your home going, my sister. We met as young instructors and Christian women and young women, praying for God's blessings of children, you, the beautiful, calm and peaceful sister from Ghana, in Monrovia, your dear husband and you and me and mine, long before our kids came, and how dear you were to me, all the discussions, the praying time for babies, oh, my sister! Last time we saw you, in the late 1990s while Liberia burned, you and Senyo on your way from Canada, did not forget us, and in all the busy schedules, you visited us in Michigan, oh Nyamekye, I am in tears, my sister. The Lord has always been our refuge, and you, his lovely daughter, now with him? My heart weeps for losing such a wonderful sister and I am so far away. Bro. TB. sent me a short e-mail, and since 4 am, when my phone alerted me and I saw your name and then the news, there is no more sleep, Nyamekye. God has called you home to rest. And the boys are missing you. We will always cherish you, dear, and we will meet again on that great morning. Then, there will be no more death, no more tears, no more sickness, and there will be singing and rejoicing on that great morning. No words or tears will ever erase our memory. Mlen-Too sends his love to the boys you left behind.

In one October evening in 1974, I met you for the first time at a KFRIFE (Christian Fellowship) meeting at the University of Cape Coast Protestant Chapel. We were both there as first year students. You were such a respectful, transparent, caring, responsible and intelligent lady. I will forever cherish the great fellowship we had together as students. Those fond memories will forever remain with me. Rest in the Lord until we meet again.

Dearest Nyamekye, exactly ten years ago you departed this earth for eternity.
