Pa Gana as we fondly called you, will live in our hearts forever. You played a major role in our lives when we were young and and looked up to the adults for guidance. You were light-years ahead of many. Every child felt special in your presence. Church Center Mankon under you gave us a glimpse of the developed world before many of us had an idea of what that really meant. The grounds were well maintained with exotic flowers and rare fruit trees. I looked forward to Sunday nights every week in the early 80's because of the cozy and family-type evening prayers that you led with that deep under-the-ocean baritone voice of yours. Then, immediately following the evening prayers, we will be treated to a special movie you personally selected. This was at a time when there was no TV yet in Cameroon. I also remembered you giving us our first taste of what classical music was. You brought in an classical orchestra from Switzerland or Germany to perform the entire "Messiah" by Georg Friederich Händel. Each time I listen to Handel, my memory takes me back to Church Center Mankon. Rev. Gana, I could write a book about the impact you and Ma Gana had in our lives growing up at the Church Center. We thank God Almighty for having used you to bring evangelization to His people. Continue to Rest in Peace. You were a real Fisher of Men.

I feel so touched to remember you pa Gana (Rev Dr. David Sama Gana) as late because I still remember the good times we had together. Rev Gana as we usually call him was a very good man and God fearing. A good example of a kind hearted person. He was known and love by all. I remember him taken me to Bamenda for the first time and for the times I spent with him and his family, I learned a lot of things. Rev Gana was the first person I ever knew in and from America and to see him as humble and simple despite the fact that he was from America. His simplicity and faith lead him to spend about five more years from the day the Doctors declared that he was going to leave for less than three months. Am writing with tears in my eyes because I wish he was alive today to see his children, grandchildren and enjoy the fruit of his labor but God knows best. I know and I believe that you, your wife, my mom and my dad must have met to part no more because you guys were true friends/family. May you all rest in perfect peace until we meet again. . To God be the glory.

Retired Rev Martin Kuja
Dr. David Sama Gana and I Retired Rev Martin Ntam Kuja, started school at Theological College Nyasoso together. Once we finished at Nyasoso, he stayed to work in the South West Province while I returned to work in the Northwest. Then he moved on for further studies abroad. I stayed back and would go the Bali Gasu to check on his mother. Once he finished studying abroad returned home he told me it was time for him to married. so I looked for a nice young woman in my family and they got married. They had four children and grandchildren.
We loved each other so much but God loved him more than I did so God called him early. He has gone to met our Lord. One day I will meet him and we will be together just like we did. His work here on earth was good to the church, and good to his family and people loved him.
He was the Director at Church center in Bamenda for many years. Even though I am his elder brother I may not be able to count the good things he did to me, his family and the church. Only God can do. The wife I looked for him was a nice woman. They loved each other and God blessed them richly. God gave him to us, and God found another job for him in Heaven. Glory be to God.

Gone but not forgotten Pa. Your gentleness, kindness, patience and politeness still fresh in my memories Pa. Ba was so welcoming when we visited their home at the Church Center. Pa and Ma made sure we were comfortable and ate to our fullest. I learnt from Ba and Na Gana that cool egusi pudding is delicious when eaten on a hot day. Pa was a down to earth people he encouraged and advised me and my siblings to be obedient kids, God fearing and to take our book work seriously. Just because Pa had all this awesome attributes, one day when we were playing hide and seek with other children, we decided to talk about our God parents. I was the 4th person to talk about mine.....It didn’t go so well for me because I stated that my God father was Pa Gana. Did you all know whose God father was Ba Gana? It was my late brother, David. Pa Gana had modified David’s name to King David. King David was so happy and become so superior amongst us now. I desperately had wanted Pa to be my God father too and perhaps to call me a Queen but to no avail. Pa was a friend of little children and was a great listener. He was humbled and a very good friend to my parents . His smiles were infectious. He loved to sing. I believe one of his best song was ‘ Jesus has water that if you bathe with it you will be as white as snow’ he use to sing this song in Munguka—Bali. He worked for the Presbyterian church in Cameroon without any scandal. May you continue to rest in perfect peace Pa. Amen. Joyce.

From Mbamuku Nduku Nixon


"I fondly remember Rev Dr Gana when I used to visit their home when he was chaplain of Emmanuel Sisterhood in Bafut and he'd ask about my dad and my mom and would spend some time just having a conversation with me. At this point I saw a man who was down to earth simple, very God fearing, even though through the eyes of my youth.

Listening to him preach once when he visited PSS Batibo back in my school days, he was full of power and a very uncompromising preacher who stood firm on the principles of the things of God and life. I remember he talked about immorality and sin and made it very clear to us then how wide a gap it was from God. He was one of a few in the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon in those days who were looked up to and well respected by society. I see very few men of same Calibre nowadays. May his soul continue to rest in peace in the Lord in Jesus name amen."

Papa,that's how I use to called him,I was still a very little boy when u left, but what u make me experience as a child has always be in my mind. I remember when ever you come visiting in the village we are sure of wearing new dresses,new shoes and enter a car. I can't remember what u always carry me on your laps to tell me. I wish u had enough time to spend with us. Am proud you ever existed because you are my role model. Love and miss u my sweet uncle,my papa. Your memory lives on.

The Rev. Dr. David S. Gana was, is still and would ever remain memorable. A true missionary who never allowed what he went through to define his value. An informed missionary who surrounded himself with those who discuss workable useful ideas and dreams, not people who gossip and destroy others. What a gap/vacuum left at the family, community, missionary and above all the PCC! May his soul continue to rest in the bosom of our heavenly Father.

From Jacky Kisob

"Papa Rev Gana was one of the finest specie of honest men of God the world has ever had.
I remember as a student in our prestigious secondary school , P.SS mankon, back in the 80's, Rev Gana was one of those God fearing pious, faith-filled, generous, humble,clean,descent,educated father's who shared and spread his love and warmth to every person.
He advised us at every given opportunity of the virtues of being obedient ,respectful and honest.
Rev,we remember your great deeds and have jealously guarded your memory in our hearts.
Continue to rest in perfect peace in God's bossom.
 Goodnight daddy."

Pa Gana, as he was fondly called, touched our lifes in every aspect growing up in the Presbyterian Church in Bamenda.
Going down memory lane, I remember in the late 70s when we were in PS Ntamulung and had to traverse the beautiful gardens of church center everyday. When the Ganas came and we were told that he woulr be the new director and that they were from America, we didn't know what to expect. I remember how he used to gather us and talked so gently and kindly. He always came down to our level as kids and gave this smile I still see today. If you were harvesting Na Webber's guavas and he was passing by, you relaxed, but if Mr. Aaron or Mr. Ignatius came around the corner, you fled for your life.
I remember the Thursday evening prayers at the women's work building. He treated each of us specially and you knew you were his favorite. How is papa, how is mama? He will always ask.
I remember the red honda civic car, how each time he will wave from or stop, alight and strike a conversation
I remember the days at sisterhood Emmanuel Bafut as Chaplain, after the sermon, he will invite us to the beautiful hilltop residence and serve everyone fresh juice.
I remember when Dr. Canute N working on his thesis from Nigeria came and we went to him. This is one of the greatest lessons that has remained with me. He said" always dress well. No matter your circumstance, look good and carry a smile on your face, for people will despise you if you look shabby."
I remember the time when we came to prepare for daughter Catherine's wedding and he looked at hubby Christopher N and asked " so you guys are really going to do this" And I responded"anyone who puts his hand on the plough and looks back is unfit for the kingdom of heaven."Again he gave us that his characteristic smile.
I remember the day as corpse bearers all dressed in white, we bore his remains at Presbyterian Church Ntamulung.
         A Dieu Dad.

Rev. David Gana contributed a lot to the women’s work in Cameroon in the topic of Christian Home and Family Life. He would use the illustration of a “booma” tree and spear grass in the middle of a storm, how the “booma” tree would break up because of its big size and rigidity while the spear grass would rise because of its small size and flexibility after a storm. This illustration resonated with women, enabling them to develop resilience and live successfully in their families in good and tough times.
Rev. Gana was very instrumental in laying the groundwork for the emergence of the Christian Men’s Fellowship in Cameroon.
As director of the Presbyterian Church Center, Bamenda, Cameroon, his vision on developing lay workers’ skills was resourceful and impactful. The Church Center was a beautiful place with gardens and cleanliness that was next to godliness, attracting visitors from far and near.
To God be the glory for the lives he impacted and we can only imagine him dancing with the angels and Christ in God's beautiful heaven.
With love from Agyati, Bafut, Cameroon.

Tribute by Syh Aji-Mvo Ambe “Mmbong”

Growing up in the Presbyterian Church Center Mankon-Bamenda in the 80s when Pa Gana was Director of the center was like walking a tight rope most of the time, for us kids. There were parents, staff, older kids always around and always ready to scold, discipline, judge and report bad behavior. We were one big family. However, there was something different about Pa Gana. Something about him that made him relate and interact with us easily.

My first instinct in those days, when playing with the other kids on those beautiful Church Center grounds, was to scurry off like a squirrel, at the sight of any parent... including mine! But with Pa Gana, it was indeed different. He made me feel comfortable. He’d actually have real conversations, tell funny little stories and crack jokes, even when he caught us in the midst of some mischievous activities.

Years later, when he became really ill and was totally transformed by illness, from the vibrant, interesting funny father that we loved to a frail old man, he’d still stop and talk. In fact, I can hear his deep rich baritone voice as I write. He’d still smile weakly and say an encouraging word.

It was truly devastating when he passed away but after shedding painful tears, I knew it was better for him to go and rest. He had become a mere shadow of the admirable man that I had known for all those years. He is definitely a part of my growing up that I shall never forget.

May his soul continue to Rest in Peace

What I remember about the Right Rev. Dr. David Gana. Pa Gana in his pastoral work was like putting a right peck in the right hole. This was the same as in the home, a good husband and a good father. At the time he was the Moderator’s representative in Church Center Mankon, I use to admire him coming in the evening to welcome women during their Leadership training. He will always simile and made fun until no one will to go bed to sleep. I admired him coming to the pulpit to preach in his pastoral robe. His personality in his robe made some of us admired him too much. Pa Gana will make people smile even in his sick bed. I remember when he was the pastor in charge of Sisters of Eammanuel in Bafut, he became sick and was brought over here for treatment, and was brought back home in an ambulance and when ever you visited him he always simile and say the Lord has given bonus years. God gave Pa Gana about six to seven years more to live. I admired the spirit he had. I wish I could be like him. I am very sure he is resting happily at the bosom of the Almighty Father. Rest In Peace Pa Gana.

Dr. David Sama Gana was a father to me and my family, I thank God to have met a man of God like, a pastor with dignity, humble, loving, always ready to listen even from children and very patient. A perfect example in God's vineyard, will correct us with a soft voice but serious about it, very friendly to all. Papa as we all called him will carry us to church and made me discover Akum where he ministers at times. We're missing you papa but your memories are still very fresh in our minds and the way you impacted wisdom in the community. We know you're with the angels singing hallelujah to our creator, may we copy some of your examples and be consistent in His vineyard. We thank God for the life you lived ,missing on earth but one day we'll be alive together with Christ Jesus. Love you papa in New home.

Rev. Dr. Sama Gana(My pastor at PC Agyati-Bafut): A soft spoken man of God resident at Emmanuel Sisterhood Agyati-Bafut at the time. Being a pastor he made sure that for all he had to do for the community and his Christians he did not stand tall as a leader but humble, listening and charismatic in approach. He loved his Christians and was loved by the community. He was an exemplary pastor.

Rev. Dr. Gana(Grandpa), From the stories I have heard from the family, family friends and love one's, you were favoured by God and you influenced many others too. I'm so grateful to have you as my grandpa. I'm willing to continue, with inspiration from you, to be a follower of Jesus Christ, doing what God pleases the most. I love you grandpa.

Rev. Dr. Gana was a great Man of God. I always associated him with the beauty of the Presbyterian Church Center in Bamenda. He was down to earth, simple and soft spoken. He had a good heart.
May his soul and Ma Gana’s continue to rest with the Lord. I know you both are looking down on your children and grand children.
Your memories live on!

Rev. Gana as you were so lovingly called by everyone. You would always smile and give a kind word, an affirmation and good counsel. Even the smallest child had your ear, there was no time you didn't give me something when I met you on the way!
Rev, you were truly a man of God and today over two decades later it's just like yesterday. You blessed humanity with the time you spent on earth. Thank God for sending you when He did.
Till we meet again Ba Andin :)

Hi,Carthy. Thanks for the reminder& for honouring me to make an input. It's been long though but the memories of a father from the eyes of a young woman will always live on.Rev.Dr David Sama Gana was a rare gem. His approach to the different experiences in life was impeachable. A father/Man of God par excellence. A lover of children, unassuming, simple, approachable,a good listener, empathetic,a loving/caring father,sociable,a gatherer. He loved making others happy against all odds. I can go on&on. In all, the legacy he left has touched many lives. Since life is a stage for all to act their part, he did his best and left. We thank God for Papa Gana. I personally miss him_a man of few words. Words that were always pregnant with meaning. A true soldier of Christ. My mentor for life.

From Cylvia Tebit
"GM Catherine long time, hope all is Well and Family doing Ok.

JESUS IS LORD!! It is WELL!! It is WELL!! Cylvia"

Rev Dr Gana, I may not have known you personally but I just want to say a very big THANK YOU for all the lives you impacted and for your good works on earth. You indeed left a legacy here on earth which can never be erased. May the good Lord continue to grant you eternal rest, Amen

From Nurse Enen Jenet Nyamuka

"Rev Dr Gana to me, as we were, a young Sunday school teacher, I met him at close range when I always spent my holidays in Bamenda. On one of our course that I attended in Azire, pa taught us leadership and he based on the fruits of the spirit which have mold me up.
With his solid voice he says teacher be humble and love in carrying out your duty in God's vine yard. By being doers and not hearers only.

From Chief Ada Kesi
Owner of Mother Teresa College Bonaberi Douala, Cameroon

"Rev Pastor Gana was a real man of Ģod  I was quite close to the Emmanuel sisterhood in Bafut. Rev pastored the Sisterhood . He was the one who preached in the funeral service of Sister Regina .  After service he wanted to know who I was .Only a good man will be interested in new faces We got speaking 
He was dèlighted to know that i was the one evangelizing for new congregations in Douala and beyond . He promised visitng the prayer cell . One day he took us by surprise .The new Christians had never tasted communion .He was the first to give them even though it was still a prayer cell  He said The spirit asked him to do so. He also laid hands on the Sunday school children and blessed them . The first and last to do so . 
We know this was one of the pastors actually called by God in our church His soul is resting on the bosom of God."

From Rev. Fonki Samuel F.

"Papa was a friend of children thus a friend of young Pastors. Every young Pastor at the time was a Son or Daughter to him. He was a kind and down to earth father. We will never have such a caliber of father Pastor figure for a long time. I miss him a lot. I also leart from him to be a humble and true husband. He will forever remain in my memories. May he continue to be fresh in my mind. Rest in Peace Papa."

I grew up knowing Dr. Gana as Director of Church Center Mankon as it was called then. (Can you imagine back the you couldn’t say Church Center Bamenda!). Church Center was the first place I ever knew in Bamenda as I was born in Batibo. Shortly after at around age 10/11 I knew three people in Bamenda, I knew Naah Wiba, Dr. Gana and my mother’s sister Julie Fokumla. That was around 1979. Never knew what Na Wiba did but just knew that she knew my parents and had German Shepahrds. It was in Dr. Gana’s house that I saw a flushing toilet for the first time in my life. Well, I grew up part of my early life in Bessi-Batibo. Then there was no electricity. You can imagine what went through my mind when I came to Bamenda and saw light shinning from poles at night. Then we went to Dr. Gana’s house and all rooms had electricity, and toilets inside the home. Wao! Well let me tell you something. I was young then Catherine and patience spoke English and I spoke pidgin. I never understood a word of anything they said so I couldn’t ask them anything about the electricity or toilet. Well, you think that is funny! When their mom spoke to them I could hear but understood nothing.
So you can imagine the impact Dr. Gana had on my life. The memories cannot go away.
My last memory of him was that he stopped by in Bawock Bali in 1996 to check on my dad Rev Martin Ntam. Then I had graduated from the Regional College of Agrictulture Bambili and ran a small vegetable garden in Bali. He saw me return from the garden with tomatoes. By now he had lost so much weight from what I used to know. He bought the whole basin of tomatoes I brought from the garden. He also bought njama njama but it wasn’t as much as the tomatoes. He told me the doctor told him to be a vegetarian because of his health and also to eat “Organic” foods/vegetables. He added that he does not also eat salt. Well, Salt? That was a tough one for me to understand.
In 1997 I was working on a farm in Bafoussam Cameroon. Then there were no cell phones like they are today. I never even heard of his passing until I visited my parents in Bali. Imagine how hurt I was. Like he and my dad would always say, From dust we came -----. He was loved, feared God and did his assignment. He out-performed so God called him early to do something for Him. I still cherish the few memories I have of Dr. Gana.
Dr. Divine Kuja.

Ohh!! What a distinct privilege to memorialize a larger than life figure; a stoic, resolute, but yet soft and charismatic ecclesiastical giant, the Reverend Dr. David Sama Gana. Coincidentally, he shared the same first name as my birth father, the magnificent, kind, and very humble late Mr. David Ijandong Essem. These unique sons of God were created by him to minister and interact with the impoverished in our midst, meeting God's requirement of "Love thy neighbor as yourself". They were exemplary stewards of God to all of us.

I remember Pa David Gana for the very mundane aspects of life. He was a child of God first and we tip our hats for his unflinching dedication to the church. By the same token, we celebrate the humanness of this man of God. REV DR GANA was a very "clean-cut" man, very neat to a fault. One could single him out from a crowd by his haircut that distinctly outlined his "boggi-boggi" (the famous impressions that barbers ascribe to the hair to give the hair some flair). His mustache would motivate any young man to grow one, after all, it proved a man's masculinity. The bellowing voice at every utterance commanded respect, attention, and clarity. This great voice of his as he interacted with parishioners and the society at large singled him out as a daring orator and leader. No wonder he was the Director of the prestigious Church Centre, Bamenda, a position that I thought will propel him to Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon. As sophisticated and educated as REV DR GANA was, he exhibited the simplicity and genuineness of a loving husband, father, and man of God. His memory is ineffaceably stamped in our minds and hearts. HIS SPIRIT LIVES ON!

- Charles Essem

This only reminds me about the fickleness of life. Dr Gana and Pa Nkangwen also of blessed memory were very good friends. During his stay in Bafut at the sisters of Emmanuel he always came over and spent time with his good friend during which they eat fresh fruits and talked about their health challenges together in mungaka. Dr. Ghana was down to earth and took time to talk to every child. I will forever miss this great man. Continue to RIP bah.

Ba Rev Dr Gana was a nice simple and humble man. I knew him when I got married because the wife, late Ma Elizabeth Gana, was my sister in law. How I admired his gentle and humble way of interacting especially when my late husband, Ni Adolf Lima and myself would spend a night at Church Centre in their residence in Bamenda. Ba mà Church Centre as we called him was good hearted, God fearing and loved being with his family. We missed him forever and may his soul continue to rest in the bosom of God.

Rev Dr Pa Gana epitomized love, humility, Peace, truth and God given goodness.
I met Pa Gana when I was a teenager and haven't met anyone in my entire life that can replace the wonderful memories that Pa left me with.
Adieu Pa, you are greatly missed.
Victor Tebid Ph.D

Hello Daddy.

I am Laura Nkazi GANA. The wife of Samuel your last and only sun. I am sure you know me because you prayed for me to be Sam's wife even when we were not thinking about it. During your lifetime you asked the Lord a special blessing to your children in their all life and future. I feel my self part of this blessing, because I am sure this mariage it is not a coincidence...
I didn't have the opportunity to meet you in person but I know you. You impact my life every day in a very particular way by your sun. Such a good person that can give birth to a so nice man like Samuel. I am happy to be part of your family. I have now 3 more sisters I can count on, and so much children to take care for.
Thanks you for this big family.
May you stay in peace with all our blessings and love.
We will always keep you in our mind and prayer.

A few weeks ago I just buried my dad who was 111yr some scores plus.One of my sisters who is a Catholic told me that knowing whom pa was she knows he is a saint,I exclaimed and said I thought saints were only for Catholics ,she said no sis every one who has lived right with his or her God is a saint.Why I m I saying all this,Rev Dr Gana has been the most humbled pastor I had known when I was still in my teens, so humbled always smiling and encouraging lived an exemplary life.SO I TERM HIM MY FIRST ST.BESIDES THE LORD NOW my dad Pa Paul and nah Elisberth.
 At Ntamulung he got engared to my Sunday School teacher Ndag Lena as we usually called our seniors in Bafut,it was a wonderful wedding with the sunday school well attended.
 He was so closed to my brother inlaw who was the assistant pastor Rev Awah Paul he was supposed to be married to my cousin mangyie Christina Awah of blessed memory,the assistant pastor also asked my hand for his junior brother now of blessed memory too,I couldn't hesitate bcs the two pastors were too close and I knew it was a good decision I did not care if we were like third cousins.In all this I saw no one else attracting me than Bah Gana.They took a lot of pictures together when I visited i,ll always admire
While in his service in God,s vine yard he had his own trails through I'll health as St Paul told God in his prayers for health and the lord told him ,MY GRACE IS ENOUGH FOR U.That,s just what God gave him through his illness.
 He was another Hezekiah who was supposed to come back home and rest after the doctors abroad gave him two weeks but he lived another 15yr,that was God,s grace working for him.I can take a whole day to write but i,ll not stop,that,s why I hesitated Cathy.I,ll never forget the song u thought us in Sunday school Bah,EVERY TIME I FEEL THE SPIRIT MOVING IN MY HEART I SHOULD PRAY,THEN AT THE CWF COURSE IN PSS MANKON U THOUGHT US ,LORD PLANT MY FEET ON HIGHER GROUNDS.How can I forget u with this music always ringing in my mind.
Bah and Nah we know were u our two Saints are ELISBERTH AND DAVID,continue to rest at His feet till we meet to part no more.

Rest on Great One.
In our hearts for ever!

Even though being really young when you passed away, I see you in me in so many ways I just sometimes I can’t understand when I picked up all these from you. But I am grateful to God for giving me a father like you. Will always miss and love you .

What an honor for me to write this tribute in memory of the late Rev. Dr. D.S. Gana!
Rev. Gana was a servant of God with unquestionable integrity, humility and a Job-like faith, one that attests: "Though He slay me, yet I will trust Him", a faith he held on to, regardless of the circumstances. One of his favorite hymns, as I recall, was "O Master let me walk with Thee", and walked with Him, he did, until his last day on this earth. I can still envision him singing this hymn in his rich, deep baritone voice. I was honored to be one his pallbearers at his funeral and memories of this event still leave me with goose bumps! He was a father to all, a man who treated even the little children that we were, returning home from PS Ntamulung each day, passing through PC Church Center where he was Director, with utmost respect.
He was blessed to have by his side in this journey, his dear wife, Mami, his heartbeat, the definition of not only external but internal beauty! The doors of their home were open to all and just being around them, made you feel so elated!
Papa, you will forever be missed. I know you have received the crown that your Master custom-designed uniquely for you, your names engraved in gold in the Book of Life. As you approached the pearly gates that day, I'm sure you heard His voice echo from afar: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter thou into my rest". RIP, Papa!

Dearest Ni Pastor, it is a great honour to be allowed to write a short tribute to you.
My memories of you are when you were in Bafut as the chaplain of the Emmanuel sister even though you were not very well, and I visited you now and again. You fondly called me ma Regie. I am happy that you felt free to entrust me with some little errands to run on your behalf. These for me were a deep sign of humility because you were able to resign yourself to God's will due to your failing health. Despite what you were going through health wise .
You loved your job as a Shepherd and continued to minister to God's people even when you were asked to rest. In the presence of Our Merciful God you are in a better position intercede for us. By Shelly Regina Che

Papa Gana, was my father, he was so loving and caring. He taught me how to pray especially during morning prayers in the women's hall. He guided us to grow and behave well as pastors children. He was a very close friend to my father, Rev Cheng. Daddy, I miss you, but I have never forgotten the moral lessons you planted in me. Sleep well my father, we shall meet some day.

My dear Papa, you spoiled me so much. You and Mammy both. You were kind to all the neighborhood kids and others you knew. Praise be to the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who causes us to triumph. I lift my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from...psalm121. This was one of your hymns. You knew what was going to happen before hand. You warned me about boyfriends. Love and kisses Papa, you brought us up well.

“Be still, and know that I am God”. This was Papa’s favorite verse or one of his favorite verses in the Bible. I called him Papa because he was like a father to me, and my Dad’s best friend. He always gave me advices on life issues, and how to stay strong in times of difficulties. I admired his humble nature. We miss you Papa continue to rest in the Lord.
Grace Pefok Kaninjing

Pa Gana, as we fondly called you. I still miss your smile, intelligence, friendliness, sterness, neighborliness, father to all and foe to none. I remember when you caught me on a guava tree while on duty babysitting my little sister Ekei, you shook the tree till I came down and picked up my sister who was innocently sitting on the ground. You always had lessons to teach us. You had an open house policy. I was always glad to bring you a mail and get some wisdom from you. I'm glad you are not here to see this terrible world we live in now, I know you would shake your head. Pa Gana you will always be missed. Continue to rest in peace Amen.

Grandpa, thought I haven't spend enough time with you but I know u'll always be with in our hearts

Great spiritual and pastoral counsellor you may be gone but your memory and legacy lives on in our hearts and lives. We are struggling to walk in the paths you trod so gallantly. Your legacy of a pastoral caregiver is an asset we will treasure for many years. Continue to enjoy eternity with the Good Lord you served. Greet our mother Mama and Nah Elizabeth Lena Gana. You all have left a void in our hearts that only God will help us to fill. Life is not the same without your presence. Keep looking down from heaven on our foolishness and smile on us. Till we meet to part no more. Abraham Akih.

May you continue to rest in the Lord our dear father. We miss you dearly.

May the Almighty God grant you eternal rest and may your gentle soul continue to Rest In Peace.
In our hearts forever Rev. Dr. David Sama Gana

Papa you were like our"Cosby" dad.Though I was just a child and daughter to a mere typist .You loved me like your own and treated me like a princess.You were The Dad I didn't have and wished I had .We gathered at your feet to hear your words of wisdom and jokes ... I wish I could be half the man you were Soo wise and Soo humble ...Forever Missed....
