My best friend, my father, my mentor, my counsellor, my hero, peace maker, my gossip partner. You departed this wicked world even without a word. Your death came as a shock to us and you best know what your departure has caused in our lives and that of the entire Tumasang family. The entire family looked up to you for advice. You promised/lied to me that you were to supervise my project which is ongoing, you constructed your dream home, parked your belongings but didn’t make it there, how do you expect our mother to go there alone. How I wish those who’ve gone before drove you back. We just have to accept the reality of your departure though hard and live with it. You’ll always be remembered for your jokes, your friendly gesture will be greatly missed. You treated every child in the family as one even outsiders. Above all you’ve created a positive impact in so many lives. 
Adieu

Ni Sampson, the unexpected news of your demise that we received on the evening of Thursday last week was like a sword that was thrust through my heart. You were an elder brother but throughout the years since we went to primary school together, you were a reservoir of strength, humility, service to others and incredible abnegation. Your passing away is therefore a huge loss of affection for all those of us who knew and were close to you. As hard as the news of your demise is, you are a forunner on a path the the Almighty Father has predestined for all of us mortals. May He therefore guide you home to a place of choice in your eternal rest at His bosom
