RIP Mama Alice!

Four years has gone so quickly. For those of us who were like children to you, your spirit still lingers on our lives. The pain of your passing away will never heal. But our faith in God has allowed us to move on and continue to make you proud of us. We remember you daily in our prayers. We know where ever you are, you are keeping an eye over us. May God continue to have wonderful angels watch over you. You will always be remembered.

Aunty Alice was a childhood friend / sister to our late mom (Mrs. Hannah D Konteh). She had a beautiful smile and always had kind words to say to those around her. A thousand words can’t bring her back to us; neither will a million tears because we cried. The shock was severe, the blow was hard because we never dreamt your death so near.
We miss you Aunty Alice, you will always be in our mind.

We never lose the people we love. They live the rest of our lives with us in our heart. My deepest sympathy to His Excellency and yours.

Our dear brothers & sisters,

The Biriwa Limba Chiefdom descendants in the United States thoughts are with you at this time of the great lost of our aunt and First Mother of the Nation, Mammy Alice Rosaline Koroma. We know, especially for the president o

Home
You’re home in Heaven, Dear Mama Alice!
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is a perfect joy and beauty
In the everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
Mama you are now at peace forever,
Safe and sound home in Heaven at last.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand,
Do it now, while life remaineth . . .
You shall rest

The entire executive and membership of the APC-UK and Ireland branch are saddened by the death of our nation’s first mum, Madam Alice Rosaline Koroma, aged 80. Mammy Alice Koroma, a highly religious personality, had always been a guiding and shining light to our leadership- a role we, as nation appreciated and her service to humanity we cherished and will fondly remember.

Mammy Alice, may your soul rest in perfect peace. Makeni has lost a dear mother, friend and supportive citizen. You mourned and celebrated with everyone. I remember when you paid my family a visit over a year ago, you strugglled to climb stairs to give your support during our days of mourning. Your receptive and genuinine smile will be missed. R.I.P

To the family of Mrs. Koroma, please accept the heartfelt condolences from the Friends of Sierra Leone. We know that you will miss her greatly. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Words cannot describe Alice Rosaline Koroma.  And so, words also cannot describe the loss we are all feeling now.

My sympathy to the Koroma family! I know that your strong belief in God will be of comfort to all of you during this difficult time.

My dear departed Ma Florence, I met you only once and very recently but it feels as though I have known that gap toothed warm and welcoming smile all my life. You were great but simple, blessed but humble, a political figure but frankly vocal. I feel very privileged to have met you. limited space so I shall simply say adieu & may your spirit continue to lead ur beloved Sierra Leone aright.

I will write more later about our mother's journey on earth...but for now we miss her so much.
