My dearest uncle, it has been 3 years since you left us. We thank God that he has been able to sustain and make us stronger in your absence. We pray that your soul continues to rest in peace. Always missed.
Pa Gor it is exactly two years since you left us. It has not been easy but we thank God for everything. He has given us the strength to cope with your loss. Continue to rest in perfect peace with the Lord. You are forever in our hearts.
My dear uncle. It has been 2 years since your demise. How time flies!! I only thank God because he continues to strengthen us and give us cherished memories of you to hold on to. May you continue to rest in peace. Miss you loads.
Can’t believe 2 whole years have gone past! You’re so greatly missed but I know you’re with the Lord. What was meant for evil is working out for our good. It was a huge cost but God in His infinite mercy has helped us by His mighty right Hand. Indeed we have been held and shielded by His Presence. Lord, even in pain, we will praise, worship and glorify Your Name. You’re always GOOD!! We miss you big bro of branché. ❤️❤️❤️
Today we remember the day you were born. It's your birthday dear Gordon. I know you are celebrating it by God's side. We miss your jokes and laughter..You were a man of peace. Happy birthday bro.
Gordon , It still hurts. Difficult to wipe your memories from our hearts. Yesterday, we were a TRIO of CHRISTIANAS. You, Tabi and Myself. You took the first leap and today like always, we miss you. Hi Christiana ! Sleep well. Rest well.
Uncle it has been a year since we lost you. It has been a challenging moment trying to console ourselves knowing that you are in a better place. I pray that you continue to rest in peace. I also pray that God will continue to comfort us and help us to move on..
Dear Gordon is been a long year , your spirit and memory still fresh in our hearts. May you dear enchanting , engaging warm generous kind soul rest in perfect peace . It's well I will cherish the fun memories till we meet again . Always Tabi
Today is exactly one year since you left us. It hurts so much. It has not been easy because you were a man of the people with a heart of gold. You thought of everybody and brought family together. Pa Gor may you continue to rest in perfect peace with the Lord. Forever in our hearts.
This same time last year, we were on our knees praying for a miracle from God. We miss you so much. God is and has always been faithful. So much I would have loved to tell you! You were exceptional! You fought hard to see everyone happy. Selfless you were! We thank God for blessing our family with someone like you. Thank you so much for your support and blessings. Continue to rest in peace.
Happy birthday to you dear Pa Gor. It hasnt been easy. Pray you continue to rest in perfect peace. I celebrate you my dear brother because you were a man of the people. Love you Pa Gor.
Happy Birthday darling uncle. You can't imagine how much I miss you! Thanks again and again for your love and support. You were one of a kind. I love you. Continue to rest in peace.
You are missed more than you can imagine, but our God in His infinite mercy has been faithful to us and kept our hearts at peace. Yes, we have peace in the knowledge that you are resting in your forever home with Him.
Brother Gordon, I am shocked to hear you are no longer with us. Your lovely advise made me to be who I am today. We miss you but God loves you most. You are a special specee. May your soul rest in the bossom of the Lord.
Last week Sunday, your dearest grand sœur and I were reliving our fun times with you. You made us have a good laugh. We miss you so much. May your soul continue to rest in peace.
Isaiah 57: 1-2 Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. or those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.
How time flies. A month already since I heard the worst news that you had left us. A month since you developed your angel wings and left this world. It so hard to forget that day but I am trusting in God that he will continue to console us and give us the strength to accept your departure. My dear uncle you will continue to be missed. It is well. God got our backs. Continue to rest
Pa Gor, It’s exactly a month today since you left us. I keep asking why you left so soon... It hurts to see our family chain broken, but we know that one day we will all be together. You are missed more than you can imagine and you will forever be in our hearts. Rest in peace
Dear Gordon.... Still unbelievable that you are no longer with us but sadly true... May your infectious laughter, your charm, your kindness that we enjoyed on this earth continue where you are. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Rest in Perfect Peace.

We only knew Gordon for a short time bit we have fond memories of him. He was a jovial, happy person who always had a joke to share. He will be missed. May he rest in peace. God's blessings go with him.
Dear Brother Gordon is was with a heavy heart we heard your sudden demise . Will miss you terribly your Friendship , restless spirit ,lovely smile , twinkling eyes of mischief , energy , vibrancy , humanity , humility and outlandish plans and stories The only consolation is You are safe Now and in the lords arms , in paradise . The lord please grant us serenity to accept the things we cannot change Courage to change the things I can And wisdom to know the difference Our humble prayers with your children , siblings and dear Mum
Gordon, our dear brother, As you continue resting in the Lord, our thoughts and prayers are with you. You had such an impact on us that words can hardly describe and for which we remain grateful. You have gone so soon and will be greatly missed. What is certain is that we shall all meet again some day.
Gordon, Not in a million years did I think I will be writing a tribute to you. It was quite refreshing when we ran into each other in Freetown in 2013, to see that you were still the same person I met back at Njala University; funny, smart and knew everything about everything. May you continue to rest in peace. Condolences to the Ndumbe family.
Weh Gordon.. I cannot imagine myself typing this note after learning of your passing just yesterday 8/30/20.. Gordon, what happened that you are leaving us in such as tragic manner?? I do not have much to type as I had a chance to say a few words during the virtual funeral. Either way, as you go transition into the other world, we will all miss you.. Ever since I came to know you in the mid 80s in Bambili, precisely our residence in Ndop Quarters in Bambili, many good and fond memories remain with me till this day and a remain appreciative of it all. Little gestures such all the laughs in the evenings, weekends, going up the research station together to go get fresh milk, Yagourt as well as other items will remain with me for forever. So as you transition, safe travels until we meet again.. RIP Bro....
Dear Gordon, I'm glad we reconnected earlier this year. You were always such a warm and jovial guy! Fun facts: we were both born in July, both born in 1962 and both born in Scotland! i'm deeply saddened I'll never be able to see you in person again. I wish you Godspeed and I know you're right up there with the angels. may God be with your family during this trying time. take your res! Sincerely, Luba Sama
Grand Gordenz.. Seldom do I lack words, but words fail me at this time. All this is unexpected. So what really am I supposed to say?...... Memories.... YES fond memories are all we have left. You were full of life and your joie de vivre was infectious. No topic of conversation was off limits we could gist and laugh at just about anything. You were not perfect... who is?.. God decided it was time you take a bow. I will miss you.. we will all miss you, until we meet again. Adieu my brother. Mboni Atogho
TRIBUTE FROM MRS JULIE BALIMBA The thought of no longer being able to see you again Gordon, makes my heart bleed. I was still waiting for your next trip to Cameroon so we can sit and enjoy a bowl of ‘sense coco’ again. Sister Julie, leave me that whiteman chop for corner, I want my sense coco; you would say. Your death came as a big shock to me. I never heard you were sick, only heard you were gone to the land of no return. You will be missed dearly Gordon but I am sure you are going to receive a hilarious welcome in the next world, as you will surely be taking with you, your humour, laughter, jokes and above all love for others.
Fair ye well Gordon and may the Lord in his goodness and mercy receive you in His heavenly Kingdom. Rest in perfect peace! Sister Julie BALIMBA

Gordon, the last serious conversation we had was in June and you were worried about your Legacy. Yes Legacy. It was as if you knew the time was near. well my brother, your legacy lives in your children. Your legacy lives in us your family and friends. There will never be a great story teller like you. Your way of connecting with people will never be matched. That made you very unique and special. Rest in Peace, my brother and most importantly my friend. The road ahead is long but ever fulfilling. You finally found the window
This simple, yet deeply meaningful quote by st Augustine « Our heart is restless until it rests with the Lord »Is a very compelling evidence of our search for meaning, our inate desire for significance, and our craving for the unseen, the unknown, and the lingering yet persistent hope for a brighter tomorrow.
This yearning lives within us until we find communion with the Lord and experience His abounding love with God.
Gordon, you, your contagious laughter, and your infectious sense of humour will be sorely missed.
