Dear Del,
After 16 years we got connected through facebook. We were on chat the previous months and planning on catching up when i am next home. Believe me or not, i just was about to comment on your easter post and saw a casket with your tag. I passed the first time and just for curiousity sake i got interested only to find out it was you being laid to rest. We cannot question God but thank him for your life on earth. I will join your family, friends and well wishers to pray for your soul as you rest in peace with our Lord. I met you thanks to your sister Rose in Yaounde when you registered as a fresh man in UNIYAO I 1994. Saw you struggle and from our last conversation God had taken control and you overcoming all the hurddles of life. In our last chat you stated " God is an unfailing God". I took note of this and will cherish this phrase of yours as your memory. Rest In peace in the Lord Angel. A CANDLE IN THE WIND

My dear sympathizers and brother in the same faith. I wish to share with you by starting to say, Death is a graduation. When we're taught all the things we came to teach, learned all the things we came to learn, then we're allowed to graduate. As you may all know a mother’s heart is the child’s classroom? I thank God for all that my mom, Ma'a Delphine Anjoh, has taught me through the years. She is a portrait of a godly mother, and I’m proud to be her son. I want to share a few things I learned from my mother that have influenced me greatly. I trust that as you read this, you, too, can reflect and remember things your own mother taught you. And I pray that all parents can learn from my mom’s example and impart these same truths to. Mom taught me the importance of having a relationship with God. She told me, “You’re nothing without Him.” There isn’t anything more important for a mother to teach her children than to teach them how to have a relationship with God. From her I learned how to endure. She told me to never quit no matter what. Growing up, Mom and I endured some hard times (days we ate roughly from hand to mouth), but through her strong faith in God we learned to keep going even in the hard times. I witnessed my mom’s constant devotion to find a true man that will nurse up a strong family foundation. The beginnings were tough and It's endings was tougher Now we can testify to the truth that obedience has its rewards! If we will obey God and endure hardship like a good soldier (2 Timothy 2:3), there will be no worries. It took a lot of prayer on her part to raise me. Mom spent many lonely hours and was responsible for many duties and decisions that she had to make by herself. Mom taught me to minister to the needs of others. Even when we didn’t have enough, she still gave to others who were needier than we were. Mom welcomed everyone. If parents were looking for who to keep their kids during holidays, the first person they thought was Aunty Delphine! The kids in the neighborhood liked to hang out at our crib, but Mom didn’t mind; she was so kind and generous. Mom stood for justice. I even sometimes used to call her BARISTA. She taught me the difference between right and wrong and taught me to make proper decisions. She also taught me about the God-kind of love —a love that has influenced my life immeasurably. Many people reading this will think I despise my Dad and avoid talking about him.(O no!) The truth is Mom and Dad was never legally married. But I am here today as a result of my mother’s faith. She believed that by teaching me all that she taught, she would never have to shed tears over a wayward son. No, I haven’t done everything right. Yes, I’ve messed up at times, and I’ve done some things in the past that I shouldn’t have done. But God is forgiving, and the words of my mom always came to me in my time of need. God has been faithful to answer the prayers she prayed over the years. Mum I promise to start where you ended. These are just a few of the things I have learned from my mom. I pray that these are truths you can use to teach your own children. Mom Rest In Peace while my heart remains fully in joy believing that you are seated by the lord God Almighty side.

BIOGRAPHY OF DELPHINE MA’A ANJOH
April 15, 2015
by Rose Anjoh
Birth and Childhood
Delphine Bokeng Ma’a Anjoh was born on 25 Febuary 1974 at Anong in Batibo Sub-Division, Momo Division of the then North West Province of Cameroon. She was the fifth Child of Late Pa Anjoh Isaiah Ehno who died in 1994 and the seventh Child of mama Anjoh Sarah Mweti nee Mboe Sarah from Kokobuma Bafaw in Konye Sub-Division Meme Division of the South West Region of Cameroon. She grew up with her maternal family in Kokobuma Bafaw but also lived her childhood in several places like Yaounde, Kumba, Wum and Batibo since her father was a civil Servant in the Cameroon Public Service. As a child she was very full of life, intelligent and hardworking but would never do a thing in a hurry.
Education
She did all her primary education in Kokobuma Bafaw where she obtained her First School Leaving Certificate in 1986 from Government School Kokobuma. From there she moved to Franhacourt Secondray School Mile 1 Kumba where she started Form One. When her father was transferred from Kumba to Wum she accompanied him there and later went with her father to Batibo for Transfer in 1989. By the time she left Wum as a student she was pregnant. But this pregnancy was only discovered by her parents when they had moved with her to Batibo. This pregnancy interrupted her secondary school studies. After giving birth to her ONLY child by name Menyoli Ngessang in 1990 she went back to school in 1991/92 academic year and obtained the G.C.E. Odinary Level Certificate in six subjects from G.H.S. Mbengwi in 1992. She continued High School in G.H.S Mbengwi and obtained her G.C.E. Advanced Level in 1994. From Mbengwi she enrolled in Yaounde University I to study Geography in 1994/95 academic year. She was among the very few English speaking Cameroonian who could dare to study Geography. At that Time it was called “Fire La Geo”. She braved the huddles of the Department and obtained a B.SC. in Geography from Yaounde University I in 2000.
Life after University
This was the most challenging part of Dels life. After obtaining a first degree it became very difficult for Delphine to have a job. She wrote and passed the written part of both the entrance examination in to ENAM and ENS Yaounde but for obvious reasons (Lack of Gombo) could not pass the orals. However, like a fighter that she was she decided to try her hand on private business and opened a fashion shop at Chappelle Nymeyoung from 2001 to 2006. In 2007 she was taken by one of her uncles –Ni Steven of blessed Memory to Samaritan Insurance where she was given an opportunity by the proprietor to do a One Month Training Course as insurance agent in 2007. Between 2007 and 2008 she did probation as Commercial Agent for Samaritan Insurance Inc. Due to her assiduousness she was promoted to the rank of permanent Commercial Agent for Samaritan Insurance Inc. in 2008. In this capacity she met up with all her targets and even did more. She was then move to the position of Secretary/Cashier for Samaritan Insurance Inc, Bureau Direct de Biyem-assi in 2010 where she served tirelessly still 2012. All this while her monthly earnings did not go beyond 50,000 FRS but she worked like someone earning a million francs a month. From September 2012 to May 2013 she was Secretary/Cashier in one Private school in Yaounde where she was earning 60, 000frs although in her usual style she worked more than what she earn.
The only time after 13 years of obtaining her first degree that Delphine had a job commensurate to her qualification was in June 2013 with SUD CAMEROON HEVEA S.A. at Meyomessala in the South Region of Cameroon. She was recruited there as Office clerk with more than double pay package of what she had previously been earning. On 8 January 2015 her contract was amended and she was upgraded to “Agent de Bureau” in Sud Cameroon Hevea. In fact this position made her second in Command after her Boss. She was the pivot of activities and controlled 73 percent of the company’s asset. Her Boss mr. Jimmy an Indian had much trust and confidence in her. He said and I Dr Rose Anjoh quoting from my diary notes taken on 10 April 2015 at the head office during our interaction with him that “…we are going to miss her. The whole office of central concession in the south was run by her. She was a fighter and a manager. She knew how to get things done….” She had even helped to get two other daughters of Anong village to gain employment in the company.
Declaration of her Death
On that faithful Tuesday 7 April at 10:39am my Phone rang. I saw Anjoh Del but the voice was not hers. It was Prudence crying for help and shouting that Delphine has collapsed and is not talking again so we should come an assist her. I got confused because I am too far in Buea to provide any help. So I quickly called Anjoh Mboe in Yaounde and passed on the message. Meanwhile I immediately started praying cancelling and binding the spirit of dead. By the time I finished the prayers I called my Pastor friend and told him. He asked me to pray Psalm 20 and 41 using her pictures. Immediately I put all this together and opened my bible to start praying again my phone rang again and the BREAKING NEWS was released Delphine is dead. Meanwhile in Yaoundé Mboe had already called his wife and Delphine’s son to travel with his driver immediately to Meyomessala. But before they could leave the house the die had been cast and the NEWS on the air was that Delphine Ma’a Anjoh has just PAASED ON. On the eve of her demise Miss Slyvia a co-worker to Delphine testified that she followed her Communicating on Radio the whole day of Monday. Her voice was sharp and clear not sick. That she was shocked when on Tuesday Delphine called her boss to send the Company car to take her to the hospital that she was not feeling well. She said few minutes later the cook called on Radio and not up to 10 minutes again the cook called again that Delphine is dead. What a World……..
Acceptance by the family
It was very hard NEWS to grabble with on that day. Phone calls were made to family members and friends. There was panic, Fear and shock in the family but like David in I Samuel 30 we encouraged one another in the Lord and enquire from God and we were confident that we would pursue, overtake and recover all the enemy has stolen and intends to steel from us. Psalm 91 opens with ‘He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God ; in him will I trust. My family has decided to hide in God and to trust in God in this time of grief.
Delphine Bokeng Ma’a Anjoh we the Akpo-Makia and Mbangwi Families thank God for making you one of us. Our solemn prayer is that God will keep you in his bossom. Adieu Del we love you deeply and we will forever miss you.
Dr Rose Anjoh for both families .
