Auntie Ayukegba,
Every time we met, you filled the room with positive energy and endless smiles. You always encouraged me to continue working hard, with emphasis that life was not easy for people who only performed the bare minimum.
The last several years have been tough for you. You fought hard to overcome the sickness but it was God's plan to finally bring you home. I remember our last meal in 2014 at your home in Douala. I am grateful that I was able to see you one last time before your passing.
When I heard that your situation had gotten worse, I prayed for God to touch you with his healing hands with the hopes that you will bounce back and fully recover. I am comforted by the knowledge that you no longer endure pain and will rest peacefully in eternity.
I am also confident that you are now able to watch over myself, your kids and other loved family members. Until we meet again, thank you for the motherly love, advice and guidance you provided each time we met.
You God son,
Raphael Bate Ayuk-Takem
