We continue to miss the kind, loving, understanding and liberal person that you were. Hopefully, you and Mamie have reunited again, and together you can continue to do what you did best; look after us all. I wish you a continuous good stay where you are, and kindly ask you to greet all our other loved ones that have gone before us.
Much love,

“Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy” – Anon.
I want to believe that quote, so I now look at the stars, as more than just stars. When I look at the stars, I see you, Bobo, and all our loved ones, and I am consoled that not only are you happy, but that you are also watching our backs and shining the light on us, to make sure we always walk on the right path. I can never thank you enough, for all that you did for us when you were alive, and for what you continue to do for us in death. I love you and miss you, loads. xoxo
Continue to rest in the Lord house and watching over us Papa. Ndolo o Mulema

This time five years ago, I was in tears. Today, even though I cry, I cry not in pain. I shed tears of joy, because not many people are lucky to have, or have had, a dad as wonderful as you! I wish to share these words from the Beatles' song titled: 'Let it be' with you today.
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Yes, I will let it be, and just remember you in fond ways, and smile!
Continue to rest peacefully in the Lord Jesus, the Christ. It is well!!!
Love Always,
Mechane xxx

I can't believe we haven't talked, argued, laughed for four years. I wish i could hear your your voice just one ,more time. Thank you for taking such good care of us and every one yo met. I miss you so much...for ever in my heart..Love you
Today marks year number four, since you left us. You are always in our thoughts and we have very fond memories of you. We continue to thank God for blessing us with an extremely loving father.
Kahlil Gibran once said;
' O heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body,
answer that the flower withers but the seed remains.'
Your body might have perished, but your soul lives on in your children, grand children and all those whose lives you've touched in one way or another. Like the seeds of the withered flower that bring it back to life, so do you live on in us all.
Continue to rest peacefully in the Lord.
Love Always,
Mechane
It's today that the family is meeting once again to pay tribute to your rich and fruitful life. Rich with friends, experiences, love, and happiness. Fruitful with children, grandchildren and so many pupils and protégées that you nurtured through childhood and adulthood to become responsible, self-respecting and honourable members of your extended family and society across at least three continents.
I was lucky enough to have been your friend, to have become part of your family and to have benefited from your love, humour, wisdom and generosity.
Today we all come together in Bangem in body or in spirit to thank God once again for sending you to us, and again to thank God for taking you safely back into His fold.
My thoughts are with you all, and especially Valentine and Mami. Tears will no doubt flow again but today they are shed less for loss and more for the happiness of reunion.
We do miss you, but we will never forget you. Today, Bangem's Bouncer is bouncing once again in all our hearts.
Enjoy !
James
May the good Lord grant him everlasting rest and peace...

My Role Model
MY dearest and beloved dad, words alone will never describe the great relationship we had. You were my role model and will for ever remain one. I learnt how not to carry any grudge forward and have kept that in mind till this date and forever. You were a friend to all even strangers you met for the first time. Your passing is just a transition as I know you are happy and in peace in this new found land. My love for you will never cease and you will be forever remembered. Today is your birthday and I will still remember you like you were still around cos I do feel your presence around when I think of you. Sleep in ever lasting peace. MUCH LOVE ALWAYS.
Epolle
Beloved Guardian, Father, and Friend
Guardian For you gave me a home at age 12 and guided and guarded me from then on, and for that I thank you.
Abba You were a father to all who crossed your path.
Believer You believed in God and in yourself for that you gained respect from many.
Respectful You respected the young and the old alike, humility was part of your identity.
Instructor You instructed so many and impacted knowledge in so many who now represent you all over the world.
Educator You were wise and educated, you enlightened so many.
Loving Love conquers all, and you loved all whom God put under your care.
Gabriel Akame believed, respected, instructed, educated, and loved all those whose lives he touched here on Earth. Not a surprise after all for he was named after arch angel Gabriel. The angel of the Lord who appeared to Mary as she conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost. Mary believed and obeyed God. To all whose lives were touched by Papa, May you believe and obey God. I am so blessed to have had him in my life. His allure was so graceful that when you watched him walk you wanted to walk in his shoes. But no one could have walked in his shoes with the same elegance he held throughout all of life’s endeavors. I remember through my child like eyes seeing this exquisite, handsome, humble, soft spoken Yaounde University Graduate. I was truly blessed to be able to tap in to the knowledge of one of the few Bakossi University Graduates. His calm spirit made him a role model to myself and all he encountered. When you get there, say hello to my parents, bothers and sisters. Join hands with them and intercede for us back here on Earth. You chose this season (lent), the way to the cross to exit. And divine mercy will receive your last respect. For the sake of his sorrowful Passion- ask the Lord to have mercy on us and carry us through out this tough time. In our time of grief it is okay to cry, for tears are God's gift to us, our Holy water, They heal us as they flow. But please let those tears be few, for we should always smile at the thought of seeing him again in Lord's Kingdom. He is only gone physically, let us allow his calm spirit to forever be a guiding force in our lives leading us towards the kingdom of heaven. I love you Papa. ~Mponge Mbulle~
