Grand Rudolph,
Never did I imagined we will be writing an eulogy of your transition to Glory this soon! But I am very confident God our Father loved you to the point where He only had to put his arms around you and whispered 'Come to Me'.
Although we loved you deeply,
Your Golden Heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best!!!
For the precious moments I personally had the opportunity to be under your roof Grand Rudolph, your life took upon the nature of the "spectrum of light".
As a family man, Grand Rudolph took all of the roles in his life to heart and he strove to honor, support, guide and most importantly, protect his family.
He was at his happiest when he was surrounded by his family - even during those inevitable tough times that life has a way of throwing at you. His devotion to his family was the foundation of his actions - the anchor that defined and shaped his life.
As I observed the next shade of light of his life, I see Grand Rudolph - the Grand/friend. He was a good friend to so many! He could be counted on and depended on always. Whether you needed simple advice, an empathetic ear, a shoulder to lean on; a listener if you will; - he was your man; ready, steadfast, willing and good fun.
I see Grand Rudolph, a man defiant and unwilling to settle for less. He lived a principled life underpinned by a strong sense of organization and planning; right or wrong.
Grand Rudolph was not a cruel man, his house was a sanctuary for all, he will never complained neither was he ever tired of offering his assistance. He always wanted his younger ones like myself to understand that nothing can be gained from holding a grudge or leaving any issue that was very wrong unclear. He spoke out when it really counted; We can only imagine how much more he could have accomplished in his life were it not for call of our God!
Another color of light is observed and I see Grand Rudolph as a respected citizen. He shared his expertise with anyone who would listen, he worked hard and consistently as exemplified by his achievements and contributions to the government and people of Cameroon. Grand Rudolph never stopped learning. He never sat back and became complacent. He led by example as he mentored his family, friends, colleagues in a way that anyone of them can say that he was an inspiration in their lives.
I have no doubt he was all a woman could wish for in a husband and father.
Grand Rudolph;
Even though you are gone,
For as long as there is memory, those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on, hence you will live on in our hearts.
It's so hard to say Adieu Grand for this reason
I say So long!!!!
May the Peace of God be and keep our heart. May your parents and siblings receive strength from above as I give voice to the service of angels to minister to them. In Jesus name. Amen!!
